Jonah 4
1 And Jonas was turmentid with greet turment, and was wrooth.
Joni bi veoma krivo i rasrdi se.
2 And he preiede the Lord, and seide, Lord, Y biseche, whether this is not my word, whanne Y was yit in my lond? For this thing Y purposide, for to fle in to Tharsis; for Y woot, that thou, God, art meke and merciful, pacient, and of merciful doyng, and foryyuynge on malice.
I ovako se pomoli Jahvi: “Ah, Jahve, nisam li ja to slutio dok još u svojoj zemlji bijah? Zato sam htio prije pobjeći u Taršiš; jer znao sam da si ti Bog milostiv i milosrdan, spor na gnjev i bogat milosrđem i da se nad nesrećom brzo sažališ.
3 And now, Lord, Y preie, take my soule fro me; for deth is betere to me than lijf.
Sada, Jahve, uzmi moj život, jer mi je bolje umrijeti nego živjeti.”
4 And the Lord seide, Gessist thou, whether thou art wel wrooth?
Jahve odgovori: “Srdiš li se ti s pravom?”
5 And Jonas wente out of the citee, and sat ayens the eest of the citee, and made to hym a schadewyng place there; and sat vndur it in schadewe, til he sai what bifelle to the citee.
Jona iziđe iz grada i sjede s istoka gradu; načini ondje kolibu i sjede pod njom u hlad da vidi što će biti od grada.
6 And the Lord God made redy an yuy, and it stiede vp on the heed of Jonas, that schadewe were on his heed, and kyueride hym; for he hadde trauelid. And Jonas was glad on the yuy, with greet gladnesse.
A Jahve Bog učini da izraste bršljan nad Jonom i pruži sjenu njegovoj glavi te da ga izliječi od zlovolje. Jona se bršljanu veoma obradova.
7 And God made redi a worm, in stiyng up of grei dai on the morewe; and it smoot the yuy, and it driede up.
Ali sutradan, u osvit zore, Bog zapovjedi crvu da podgrize bršljan, i on usahnu.
8 And whanne the sunne was risun, the Lord comaundide to the hoot wynd and brennyng; and the sunne smoot on the heed of Jonas, and he swalide. And he axide to his soule that he schulde die, and seide, It is betere to me for to die, than for to lyue.
Kad je ogranulo sunce, posla Bog vruć istočni vjetar; sunce je palilo glavu Joninu te je sasvim klonuo. Poželje umrijeti i reče: “Bolje mi je umrijeti nego živjeti.”
9 And the Lord seide to Jonas, Gessist thou, whether thou art wel wrooth on the yuy? And he seide, Y am wel wrooth, til to the deth.
Bog upita Jonu: “Srdiš li se s pravom zbog bršljana?” On odgovori: “Da, s pravom sam ljut nasmrt.”
10 And the Lord seide, Thou art sori on the yuy, in which thou trauelidist not, nether madist that it wexide, which was growun vndur o nyyt, and perischide in o nyyt.
Jahve mu reče: “Tebi je žao bršljana oko kojega se nisi trudio, nego je u jednu noć nikao i u jednu noć usahnuo.
11 And schal Y not spare the grete citee Nynyue, in which ben more than sixe score thousynde of men, which witen not what is betwixe her riyt half and left, and many beestis?
A meni da ne bude žao Ninive, grada velikoga, u kojem ima više od sto i dvadeset tisuća ljudi koji ne znaju razlikovati desno i lijevo, a uz to i mnogo životinja!”
