Jonah 4
1 But Jonah was very distressed [that God had not destroyed Nineveh]. He became very angry. [The people of Nineveh were non-Jews, and Jonah did not think that God should act mercifully toward anyone who was not a Jew].
Ай о Иона холяйля, и лэсти када фартэ на чялиля.
2 He prayed to Yahweh, “O Yahweh, what you have done is what I thought that you would do, before I left home [RHQ]. That is why I [decided] immediately to run away, and go to Tarshish [city], because I knew that you, O God, act very kindly and compassionately [toward all people]. You do not quickly become angry with people who do evil things. You love people very much, and you change your mind about punishing [people who sin].
Вов ля тэ мангэлпэ лэ РАЕСТИ: — О РАЙ, най пала када ли мэ пхэнавас, кала сымас инке черэ? Важ када мэ и нашлэмастар андо Таршышо. Мэ ганав, кай Ту Дэл тынгуно и лашо, Ту бут тэрпис, най йито холяйвэс и барвало сан по камлимос тай на камэс тэ бишалэл э бида.
3 [So] now, O Yahweh, [since you will not destroy Nineveh city as you said you would], allow me to die, because it would be better for me to die than to [continue to] live.”
РАЙ, ай акана залэ мандар мэрно жувимос. Фэдэр мэ тэ мэрав, сар тэ жував.
4 Yahweh replied, “(Why is it right for you to be angry [about my not destroying the city]?/It is not right for you to be angry [about my not destroying the city]!) [RHQ]”
О РАЙ пхэндя лэсти: — Трэбуй ли тути кадя тэ холяйвэс?
5 Jonah [did not reply]. He went out of the city to the east [side of it]. He made a small shelter in order that he could sit under it and be protected from the sun. He sat under the shelter and waited to see what would happen to the city.
О Иона вижыля анда форо и бэшля каринг о востоко лэ форостар. Вов стердя пэсти катуна, бэшля андэ вушал и ля таштярэл, со терлапэ лэ фороса.
6 Then Yahweh God caused a vine to grow up [immediately] to shade Jonah’s head from the sun and make him [feel] more comfortable. Jonah was very happy about [having] the vine [over his head].
О РАЙ Дэл стердя кадя, кай вибариля бари чяр, сави вазгляпэ понадэ Иона, соп э вушал понадэ лэско шэро тэ улэл лэсти холи. Вов сас фартэ лошало кала чяряти.
7 But before dawn the next day, God sent a worm that chewed the vine, with the result that the vine withered.
Ай каринг э тэсара пэ авэр дес о Дэл бишалдя лэ чермэс. О чермо потхаля э бари чяр, и вой зашутиля.
8 Then, when the sun rose [high in the sky], God sent a very hot wind from the east, and the sun shone very strongly on Jonah’s head, with the result that he felt faint. He wanted to die, and he said, “It would be better for me to die than to [continue to] live!”
Кала ущиля о кхам, о Дэл бишалдя пхабарди восточно балвал, тай о кхам ля тэ пхабарэл о шэро лэ Ионаско кадя, со вов замэгнисайля. Вов закамля тэ мэрэл и пхэндя: — Фэдэр мэ тэ мэрав, сар тэ жував.
9 But God asked Jonah, “Is it right for you to be angry about [what happened to] the vine?” Jonah replied, “[Yes], it is right! [Now] I am very angry and I want to die!”
Ай о Дэл пхэндя лэ Ионасти: — Трэбуй ли тути кадя тэ холяйвэс палай бари чяр? — Трэбуй, — пхэндя о Иона, — най кати тэ холяйвав, ай и тэ мэрав.
10 But Yahweh said [to him], “You have been concerned about my [causing] that vine [to wither], even though you did not take care of it, and you did not make it grow. It just grew up during one night, and it completely withered [at the end of] the next night.
О РАЙ пхэндя: — Тути тынг э чяр, пала сави ту ни на дикхлян, ни на барярдян. Вой важ екх рят вибариля, тай важ екх рят и хасайля.
11 But there are more than 120,000 people in Nineveh who [are very young, and because of that], they cannot tell which is their right hand and which is their left hand, and there are also many cattle, [and none of these have done anything to displease me]. So (is it not right for me to be concerned about the people of that huge city, [and not want to destroy them]?/it is certainly right for me to be concerned about the people of that huge city [and not want to destroy them]!) [RHQ]”
Манди ли тэ на тынгой о баро форо Ниневия, кай бут ското тай майбут, сар шэл биш пхангля мануша, савэ на полэн, кай о лашымос, ай кай о вырыто?
