< Jonah 4 >
1 and be evil to(wards) Jonah distress: evil great: large and to be incensed to/for him
約納因此很不高興,遂發起怒來。
2 and to pray to(wards) LORD and to say Please! LORD not this word: speaking my till to be I upon land: country my upon so to meet to/for to flee Tarshish [to] for to know for you(m. s.) God gracious and compassionate slow face: anger and many kindness and to be sorry: relent upon [the] distress: harm
他懇求天主說:「上主,當我還在故鄉時,我豈不是已想到這事﹖所以我預先要逃往塔爾史士去,因為我知道你是慈悲的,寬仁的天主;是緩於發怒,富於慈愛,憐憫而不願降災禍的天主。
3 and now LORD to take: take please [obj] soul: life my from me for pleasant death my from life my
上主,現在,求你從我身上收去我的性命,因為,我死了比活著還好! 」
4 and to say LORD be good to be incensed to/for you
上主說:「你的憤怒合理嗎﹖」
5 and to come out: come Jonah from [the] city and to dwell from front: east to/for city and to make to/for him there booth and to dwell underneath: under her in/on/with shadow till which to see: see what? to be in/on/with city
約納出了城,坐在城東,在那裏為自己搭了一個棚坐在棚蔭下,要看看那城究竟要發生什麼事。
6 and to count LORD God plant and to ascend: rise from upon to/for Jonah to/for to be shadow upon head his to/for to rescue to/for him from distress: harm his and to rejoice Jonah upon [the] plant joy great: large
上主天主安排了一株篦麻,使長得高過約納,為他的頭遮蔭,消除自己尸煩惱。約納很喜愛這株篦麻。
7 and to count [the] God worm in/on/with to ascend: rise [the] dawn to/for morrow and to smite [obj] [the] plant and to wither
但第二天曙升起時,天主安排了一個蟲咬死了篦麻,篦麻便枯萎了
8 and to be like/as to rise [the] sun and to count God spirit: breath east scorching and to smite [the] sun upon head Jonah and to enwrap and to ask [obj] soul: myself his to/for to die and to say pleasant death my from life my
當太陽升起時,天主又安排了灸熱的東風,太陽射在約納頭上,使他無法忍受,遂要求死去,說:「我死了比活著還好! 」
9 and to say God to(wards) Jonah be good to be incensed to/for you upon [the] plant and to say be good to be incensed to/for me till death
天主血約納說:「你為這株篦麻發怒合理嗎﹖」他回答說:「我發怒以致於死,是合理的! 」
10 and to say LORD you(m. s.) to pity upon [the] plant which not to toil in/on/with him and not to magnify him which/that son: type of night to be and son: type of night to perish
上主說:「你為這株篦麻,並沒有勞過力,也沒有使它生長,還憐惜它:它不過是一夜生,出一夜死去的植物;
11 and I not to pity upon Nineveh [the] city [the] great: large which there in/on/with her to multiply from two ten ten thousand man which not to know between right his to/for left his and animal many
對尼尼微這座大城,其中有十二萬不能分辨自己左右手的人,且有許多牲畜,我就不該憐他們麼﹖」
