Jonah 4
1 And Jonas was turmentid with greet turment, and was wrooth.
Lakini hili lilimchukiza Yona naye akakasirika.
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.
Basi Yona akamwomba Bwana akasema, “Ee, Bwana, hiya sio yale niliyosema wakati niliporudi katika nchi yangu? Ndiyo maana nilifanya haraka na kujaribu kukimbia Tarshishi-kwa sababu nilijua kuwa wewe ni Mungu mwenye neema, mwenye huruma, si meingi wa hasira, mwingi kwa uaminifu, na hughairi maafa.
3 And now, Lord, Y preie, take my soule fro me; for deth is betere to me than lijf.
Kwa hiyo sasa, Bwana, nakuomba, uniondoe uhai wangu, kwa maana ni bora kwangu kufa kuliko kuishi.”
4 And the Lord seide, Gessist thou, whether thou art wel wrooth?
Bwana akasema, Je, ni vema kwamba umekasirika?”
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.
Kisha Yona akaondoka mjini akaketi upande wa mashariki wa jiji. Huko alifanya makao na akaketi chini yake katika kivuli ili aweze kuona mji utakuwaje.
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.
Bwana Mungu aliandaa mmea na kuukuza juu ya Yona ili uwe kivuli juu ya kichwa chake ili kupunguza dhiki yake. Yona alikuwa na furaha kubwa kwa sababu ya mmea.
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.
Lakini Mungu aliandaa mdudu kulipopambazuka asubuhi iliyofuata. Alishambulia mmea na mmea ukapooza.
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.
Ikawa wakati jua lilipochomoza asubuhi, Mungu aliandaa upepo mkali wa mashariki. Pia, jua lilipiga kichwa cha Yona na akaanguka. Kisha Yona alitamani kufa. Akajiambia, “Ni bora kwangu kufa kuliko kuishi.”
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.
Kisha Mungu akamwambia Yona, “Je, ni vema wewe kuwa na hasira juu ya mmea?” Yona akasema, Ni vyema kuwa nimekasirika hata kufa.
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.
Bwana akasema, Umeuhurumia mmea, ambao haukuufanyia kazi wala haukukua. Uliomea katika usiku na kufa usiku.
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?
Kwa hiyo mimi, haikunipassa kuuhurumia Ninawi, mji mkuu, ambalo kuna watu zaidi ya mia na ishirini elfu ambao hawajui tofauti kati ya mkono wao wa kulia na mkono wao wa kushoto, na pia ng'ombe wengi?
