Jonah 4
1 But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry.
ヨナこの事を甚だ惡しとして烈く怒り
2 And he prayed to the LORD, and said, I pray thee, O LORD, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I fled before to Tarshish: for I knew that thou art a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repentest of the evil.
ヱホバに祈りて曰けるはヱホバよ我なほ本國にありし時斯あらんと曰しに非ずや さればこそ前にタルシシへ逃れたるなれ 其は我なんぢは矜恤ある神 憐憫あり 怒ること遲く慈悲深くして災禍を悔たまふものなりと知ばなり
3 Therefore now, O LORD, take, I beseech thee, my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live.
ヱホバよ願くは今わが命を取たまへ 其は生ることよりも死るかた我に善ればなり
4 Then said the LORD, Doest thou well to be angry?
ヱホバ曰たまひけるは汝の怒る事いかで宣しからんや
5 So Jonah went out of the city, and sat on the east side of the city, and there made him a booth, and sat under it in the shadow, till he might see what would become of the city.
ヨナは邑より出てその東の方に居り己が爲に其處に一の小屋をしつらひその蔭の下に坐して府の如何に成行くかを見る
6 And the LORD God prepared a gourd, and made it to come up over Jonah, that it might be a shade over his head, to deliver him from his grief. So Jonah was exceeding glad of the gourd.
ヱホバ神 瓢を備へこれをして發生てヨナの上を覆はしめたり こはヨナの首の爲に庇蔭をまうけてその憂を慰めんが爲なりき ヨナはこの瓢の木によりて甚だ喜べり
7 But God prepared a worm when the morning rose the next day, and it smote the gourd that it withered.
されど神あくる日の夜明に虫をそなへて其ひさごを噛せたまひければ瓢は枯たり
8 And it came to pass, when the sun rose, that God prepared a vehement east wind; and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah, that he fainted, and wished in himself to die, and said, It is better for me to die than to live.
かくて日の出し時神暑き東風を備へ給ひ又日ヨナの首を照しければ彼よわりて心の中に死ることを願ひて言ふ 生ることよりも死るかた我に善し
9 And God said to Jonah, Doest thou well to be angry for the gourd? And he said, I do well to be angry, even to death.
神またヨナに曰ひたまひけるは瓢の爲に汝のいかる事いかで宣しからんや 彼曰けるはわれ怒りて死るともよろし
10 Then said the LORD, Thou hast had pity on the gourd, for which thou hast not laboured, neither made it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night:
ヱホバ曰たまひけるは汝は勞をくはへず生育ざる此の一夜に生じて一夜に亡びし瓢を惜めり
11 And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, in which are more than an hundred and twenty thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also many cattle?
まして十二萬餘の右左を辨へざる者と許多の家畜とあるこの大なる府ニネベをわれ惜まざらんや
