1 and be evil to(wards) Jonah distress: evil great: large and to be incensed to/for him
But this displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry.
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
And he prayed to Jehovah and said, Ah! Jehovah, was not this what I said, when I was yet in my own country? Therefore I made haste to flee to Tarshish. For I knew that thou art a gracious and merciful God, slow to anger and abundant in mercy, and that thou repentest of a threatened evil.
3 and now LORD to take: take please [obj] soul: life my from me for pleasant death my from life my
And now, O Jehovah, take, I pray thee, my life from me! for it is better for me to die than to live.
4 and to say LORD be good to be incensed to/for you
And Jehovah said, Is it right that thou shouldst be angry?
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
Now Jonah had gone out of the city, and had sat on the east side of the city, and had made himself a booth there, and had sat under it in the shade, till he should see what would become of the city.
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
And God, Jehovah, appointed a gourd; and it grew up over Jonah to be a shadow over his head, to deliver him from his distress. And Jonah was exceedingly glad of the gourd.
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
But God appointed a worm when the morning rose the next day, and it smote the gourd so that it withered.
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
And when the sun arose, God appointed a sultry east wind; and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah, and he was faint, and he asked for himself death, and said, It is better for me to die than to live.
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
And God said to Jonah, Is it right that thou shouldst be angry for the gourd? And he said, It is right that I should be angry even to death.
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
And Jehovah said, Thou hast had pity on the gourd for which thou hast not labored, and which thou madest not to grow, which grew up in a night and perished in a night;
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
and should not I spare Nineveh, the great city, wherein are more than a hundred and twenty thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand, and also many cattle?
