Jonah 4
1 But this displeased Jonah and he became very angry.
Sai abin ya ɓata wa Yunana rai ƙwarai har ya yi fushi.
2 So Jonah prayed to Yahweh and said, “Ah, Yahweh, is this not just what I said when I was back in my own country? That is why I acted first and tried to flee to Tarshish—because I knew that you are a gracious God, compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in covenant faithfulness, and you hold back from sending disaster.
Sai ya yi addu’a ga Ubangiji ya ce, “Ya Ubangiji, ba irin abin da na faɗa ke nan ba tun ina gida? Wannan ne ya sa na yi ƙoƙarin tserewa zuwa Tarshish. Ai, na sani kai Allah ne mai alheri da tausayi, mai jinkirin fushi da cikakkiyar ƙauna, kai Allah ne mai dakatar da nufinka na yin hukunci.
3 Therefore now, Yahweh, I beg you, take my life from me, for it is better for me to die than to live.”
Yanzu, ya Ubangiji, ka ɗauki raina, domin ya fi sauƙi a gare ni in mutu da in rayu.”
4 Yahweh said, “Is it good that you are so angry?”
Amma Ubangiji ya amsa, ya ce; “Daidai ne ka yi fushi?”
5 Then Jonah went out of the city and sat on the east side of the city. There he made a shelter and sat under it in the shade so that he could see what might become of the city.
Sai Yunana ya fita daga birnin ya yi wajen gabas, ya zauna. A nan ya yi wa kansa rumfa, ya zauna cikin inuwarta yana jira yă ga abin da zai sami birnin.
6 Yahweh God prepared a plant and made it grow up over Jonah so that it might be a shade over his head to relieve his distress. Jonah was very glad because of the plant.
Sai Ubangiji Allah ya sa wata’yar kuringa ta tsiro, ta yi girma a inda Yunana yake, don ta inuwantar da shi, yă ji daɗi. Yunana kuwa ya yi murna matuƙa da wannan kuringa.
7 But God prepared a worm at sunrise the next morning. It attacked the plant and the plant withered.
Amma kashegari da safe sai Allah ya sa tsutsa ta cinye’yar kuringar har ta mutu.
8 It came about that when the sun rose the next morning, God prepared a hot east wind. Also, the sun beat down on Jonah's head and he became faint. Then Jonah wished that he might die. He said to himself, “It is better for me to die than to live.”
Sa’ad da rana ta yi sama, sai Allah ya sa iskar gabas mai zafi ta huro, zafin ranar kuma ya buga kan Yunana, har ya ji sai ka ce zai suma. Ya so a ce ya mutu ma, sai ya ce, “Gara in mutu da a ce ina zaune da rai.”
9 Then God said to Jonah, “Is it good that you are so angry about the plant?” Then Jonah said, “It is good that I am angry, even to death.”
Amma Allah ya ce wa Yunana, “Daidai ne ka yi fushi saboda wannan kuringa?” Sai Yunana ya ce, “I, daidai ne, ina fushi matuƙa, har ina so da na mutu ma.”
10 Yahweh said, “You have had compassion for the plant, for which you have not labored, nor did you make it grow. It grew up in a night and died in a night.
Sai Ubangiji ya ce, “Ai, wannan kuringa ta tsira dare ɗaya ta kuma ɓace kafin dare na biyu, ba ka yi wata wahala dominta ba, ba kai ne ka sa ta yi girma ba, duk da haka ranka ya ɓace saboda ita.
11 So as for me, should I not have compassion for Nineveh, that great city, in which there are more than one hundred and twenty thousand people who do not know the difference between their right hand and their left hand, and also many cattle?”
Ashe, ba dole ne in ji tausayin babban birnin nan Ninebe mai mutum sama da dubu ɗari da ashirin marasa alhaki, da kuma dabbobi masu yawa ba?”
