Jonah 4
1 And it is grievous unto Jonah — a great evil — and he is displeased at it;
Pathen in atohgon akhel chun Jonah alungnopmo sahlheh jengin hatah in alung hangin ahi.
2 and he prayeth unto Jehovah, and he saith, 'I pray Thee, O Jehovah, is not this my word while I was in mine own land — therefore I was beforehand to flee to Tarshish — that I have known that Thou [art] a God, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in kindness, and repenting of evil?
Hijeh chun aman Pathen henga alungnop mona aphongin Pakai in a ka kipat doh masanga kana sei hilou ham? Hiche jeh'a hi Tarshish lamma kache hilou ham, ijeh-inem itileh Pathen nangma hi lungset them, hepi them, lunghangvah lou, longlouva lungsetna nei jing Pathen thilsebol louva lunghei kit ji Pathen na hiti kahet jing sa nahi, ati.
3 And now, O Jehovah, take, I pray Thee, my soul from me, for better [is] my death than my life.'
Hijeh chun Pakai ka hinkho hi keija konin lamang tan, kei dingin hin sangin thi aphajo tai.
4 And Jehovah saith, 'Is doing good displeasing to thee?'
Chujou chun Pakaiyin “Hitia na lunghang jengpi hi dih na kisah hinam atin ahi”.
5 And Jonah goeth forth from the city, and sitteth on the east of the city, and maketh to himself there a booth, and sitteth under it in the shade, till that he seeth what is in the city.
Hijeh chun Jonah chu khopi a konin solam’a apotdohin lhambuh akisonin hiche limnoija chun atou in khopi chu epi hungsoh mong am tin atouvin ave tan ahi.
6 And Jehovah God appointeth a gourd, and causeth it to come up over Jonah, to be a shade over his head, to give deliverance to him from his affliction, and Jonah rejoiceth because of the gourd [with] great joy.
Hichun Pakai Pathen in umphung khat akedoh sahin Jonah umna chu akhukhum sah in lim in ason peh tai, hitia hi bolphatna alung hesoh chu lungmonsah ding agon ahi. Hichun Jonah jong um-phungkhat in ajam khum chu akipah beseh jengin ahi.
7 And God appointeth a worm at the going up of the dawn on the morrow, and it smiteth the gourd, and it drieth up.
Ahinlah ajing nikhoa kho ahungvah phat in Pathen in lung alhalut in umgui chu aneuvin ahileh um-phung chu anechaijun umphung jong chu agot lhahsah tai.
8 And it cometh to pass, about the rising of the sun, that God appointeth a cutting east wind, and the sun smiteth on the head of Jonah, and he wrappeth himself up, and asketh his soul to die, and saith, 'Better [is] my death than my life.'
Nisa ahung so doh phat in Pathen in nisa aveven asat sah jing in, nisa chun Jonah lujang asal a ahileh amajong alhalhop jeng in athinom leo jeng in ahi. “Kei dingin hitia hin sangin thima apha joi” ati.
9 And God saith unto Jonah: 'Is doing good displeasing to thee, because of the gourd?' and he saith, 'To do good is displeasing to me — unto death.'
Hichun Pathenn in Jonah jah’a, um-gui athia na lunghan jeng chu dih nakisah hinam? ati leh Jonah in adonbut nin “Heng’e thina changei ja lunghang ka hitai” ati.
10 And Jehovah saith, 'Thou hast had pity on the gourd, for which thou didst not labour, neither didst thou nourish it, which a son of a night was, and a son of a night perished,
Hichun Pakaiyin, “Nangin natu louhel hiche um-gui hi khan jong na khansah theilou jankah khatna mang thah kit ahi tai.
11 and I — have not I pity on Nineveh, the great city, in which there are more than twelve myriads of human beings, who have not known between their right hand and their left — and much cattle!'
Achutileh hiche Ninevah khopi lentah, akhosunga mihem sang jakhat le sang somni jen lhagao, muthim noija umnalai ho leh ganhing tamtah um hohi ka lainatpi lou ding ham?” ati.
