< 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].
Лукрул ачеста н-а плэкут делок луй Иона ши с-а мыният.
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].
С-а ругат Домнулуй ши а зис: „Ах! Доамне, ну есте ачаста токмай че зичям еу кынд ерам ынкэ ын цара мя? Токмай лукрул ачеста воям сэ-л ынлэтур фуӂинд ла Тарс. Кэч штиям кэ ешть ун Думнезеу милос ши плин де ындураре, ынделунг рэбдэтор ши богат ын бунэтате ши кэ Те кэешть де рэу!
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.”
Акум, Доамне, я-мь вяца, кэч вряу май бине сэ мор декыт сэ трэеск!”
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]”
Домнул а рэспунс: „Бине фачь ту де те мыний?”
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.
Ши Иона а ешит дин четате ши с-а ашезат ла рэсэрит де четате. Аколо шь-а фэкут ун умбрар ши а стат суб ел пынэ ва ведя че аре сэ се ынтымпле ку четатя.
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].
Домнул Думнезеу а фэкут сэ кряскэ ун куркубете, каре с-а ридикат песте Иона, ка сэ факэ умбрэ капулуй луй ши сэ-л факэ сэ-й трякэ мыния. Иона с-а букурат фоарте мулт де куркубетеле ачеста.
7 But before dawn the next day, God sent a worm that chewed the vine, with the result that the vine withered.
Дар а доуа зи, ла рэсэритул соарелуй, Думнезеу а адус ун верме, каре а ынцепат куркубетеле, ши куркубетеле с-а ускат.
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!”
Кынд а рэсэрит соареле, Думнезеу а фэкут сэ суфле ун вынт ускат де ла рэсэрит ши соареле а бэтут песте капул луй Иона, ши Иона а лешинат. Атунч а дорит сэ моарэ ши а зис: „Май бине сэ мор декыт сэ трэеск!”
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!”
Дар Думнезеу а зис луй Иона: „Бине фачь ту де те мыний дин причина куркубетелуй?” Ел а рэспунс: „Да, бине фак кэ мэ мыний пынэ ла моарте!”
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.
Атунч ши Домнул а зис: „Цие ыць есте милэ де куркубетеле ачеста, каре ну те-а костат ничо трудэ ши пе каре ну ту л-ай фэкут сэ кряскэ, чи ынтр-о ноапте с-а нэскут ши ынтр-о ноапте а перит.
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]”
Ши Мие сэ ну-Мь фие милэ де Ниниве, четатя чя маре, ын каре се афлэ май мулт де о сутэ доуэзечь де мий де оамень, каре ну штиу сэ деосебяскэ дряпта де стынга лор, афарэ де о мулциме де вите!”
