< Jonah 4 >

1 And it was displeasing to Jonah displeasure great and it burned to him.
No rĩrĩ, Jona nĩaiguire ũũru mũno na akĩrakara.
2 And he prayed to Yahweh and he said I beg you O Yahweh ¿ not [was] this word my until was I on own land my there-fore I did [the] first time to flee Tarshish towards that I knew that you [are] a God gracious and compassionate long of anger and great of covenant loyalty and [who] relents on evil.
Akĩhooya Jehova, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Wee Jehova-rĩ, githĩ ũũ toguo ndoigĩte itoimĩte mũciĩ? Nĩkĩo ndaahiũhaga kũũrĩra Tarishishi. Nĩndoĩ atĩ wee wĩ Mũrungu mũtugi na ũrĩ tha, na ndũhiũhaga kũrakara, na ũiyũrĩtwo nĩ wendani, Ngai ũiguaga tha akericũkwo akaaga gwĩka ũũru.
3 And therefore O Yahweh take please life my from me for [is] good death my more than life my.
No rĩrĩ, Wee Jehova, ndagũthaitha ũndute muoyo; nĩgũkorwo nĩ kwagĩrĩire ngue, gũkĩra ndũũre muoyo.”
4 And he said Yahweh ¿ rightly does it burn to you.
No Jehova akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ũrĩ na kĩhooto o na kĩrĩkũ gĩa gũtũma ũrakare?”
5 And he went out Jonah from the city and he sat from east of the city and he made for himself there a shelter and he sat under it in the shade until that he will see what? will it be in the city.
Jona akiuma kũu, agĩthiĩ agĩikara thĩ handũ mwena wa irathĩro wa itũũra rĩu inene. Akĩĩakĩra gĩthũnũ hau, agĩikara kĩĩruru-inĩ gĩakĩo, agĩeterera one ũrĩa itũũra rĩu inene rĩgwĩkwo.
6 And he appointed Yahweh God a plant and it went up - over Jonah to be shade over head his to deliver him from distress his and he rejoiced Jonah on the plant a joy great.
Nake Jehova Ngai akĩrehe rũũngũ na agĩtũma rũtambe igũrũ rĩa hau Jona aarĩ, nĩguo rũmũhe kĩĩruru, kĩmũhumbĩre atige gũthĩĩnĩka. Nake Jona agĩkenera rũũngũ rũu mũno.
7 And he appointed God a worm when came up the dawn to the next day and it attacked the plant and it withered.
No rĩrĩ, kwarooka gũkĩa mũthenya ũyũ ũngĩ, Ngai akĩrehe kĩgunyũ gĩkĩrĩa rũũngũ rũu, nĩ ũndũ ũcio rũkĩhooha.
8 And it was - when arose the sun and he appointed God a wind an east wind hot and it struck the sun on [the] head of Jonah and he became faint and he asked life his to die and he said [is] good death my more than life my.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa riũa rĩarathire, Ngai akĩrehithia rũhuho ruumĩte na irathĩro rũrĩ na ũrugarĩ mũnene, narĩo riũa rĩgĩcina Jona mũtwe, o nginya akĩringĩka. Akĩĩrirĩria gũkua, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩ wega ngue gũkĩra ndũũre muoyo.”
9 And he said God to Jonah ¿ rightly does it burn to you on the plant and he said rightly it burns to me to death.
Nake Ngai akĩũria Jona atĩrĩ, “Ũrĩ na kĩhooto gĩa kũrakara nĩ ũndũ wa rũũngũ rũu?” Nake agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Ĩĩ, ndĩ nakĩo; ndakarĩte o ũndũ ingĩkua.”
10 And he said Yahweh you you had compassion on the plant which not you had toiled in it and not you had made grow it that a son of a night it was and a son of a night it perished.
No Jehova akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Wee-rĩ, ũraiguĩra rũũngũ rũrũ tha, o na harĩa ũtarũrutĩire wĩra kana ũgatũma rũkũre. Rũrakũrire na ũtukũ ũmwe, na rũrathira na ũtukũ ũmwe.
11 And I not will I have compassion? on Nineveh the city great which there in it [are] many more than two [plus] ten ten thousand person[s] who not he distinguishes between right [hand] his and left his and livestock much.
No Nineve nĩ kũrĩ na andũ makĩria ma ngiri igana rĩa mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ arĩa matangĩkũũrana guoko kwa ũrĩo kana guoko kwa ũmotho, o na ningĩ rĩrĩ na mahiũ maingĩ. Githĩ o na niĩ ndiagĩrĩirwo nĩkũiguĩra tha itũũra rĩu inene?”
