Jonas 4
1 Jonas pa t' kontan menm lè li wè sa, sa te fè l' fache anpil.
And it was displeasing to Jonah displeasure great and it burned to him.
2 Li lapriyè Seyè a, li di l' konsa: -Aa Seyè! Men sa m' t'ap di a wi, lè m' te nan peyi m' lan. Se sa menm wi, mwen pa t' vle rive a. Se poutèt sa mwen te vle al kache nan peyi Tasis. Mwen konnen ou: Ou se yon Bondye ki gen bon kè, ki gen pitye pou nou. Ou pa fè kòlè fasil, ou pa janm sispann renmen nou, se vre. Ou toujou pare pou padonnen moun, pou chanje lide pou ou pa pini yo.
And he prayed to Yahweh and he said I beg you O Yahweh ¿ not [was] this word my until was I on own land my there-fore I did [the] first time to flee Tarshish towards that I knew that you [are] a God gracious and compassionate long of anger and great of covenant loyalty and [who] relents on evil.
3 Koulye a, Seyè, ou mèt tou touye m' fini ak sa. M' pito mouri pase pou m' viv pou m' wè bagay sa a devan je m'!
And therefore O Yahweh take please life my from me for [is] good death my more than life my.
4 Seyè a reponn li: -Ki rezon ou genyen pou ou fache konsa?
And he said Yahweh ¿ rightly does it burn to you.
5 Jonas kite lavil la, li ale sou bò solèy leve, li chita. Lèfini, li fè yon tonèl, li chita nan lonbraj anba tonèl la, l'ap tann pou l' wè sa ki pral rive nan lavil la.
And he went out Jonah from the city and he sat from east of the city and he made for himself there a shelter and he sat under it in the shade until that he will see what? will it be in the city.
6 Lè sa a, Seyè a, Bondye a, fè yon ti pye masketi pouse. Li fè l' rive yon ti wotè pi wo pase Jonas pou mete yon ti lonbraj sou tèt li, pou li ka santi l' pi alèz. Jonas te kontan anpil lè li wè pye masketi a.
And he appointed Yahweh God a plant and it went up - over Jonah to be shade over head his to deliver him from distress his and he rejoiced Jonah on the plant a joy great.
7 Men, nan denmen maten, anvan bajou kase, Bondye fè yon mawoka pike pye masketi a. Pye masketi a mouri.
And he appointed God a worm when came up the dawn to the next day and it attacked the plant and it withered.
8 Lèfini, lè solèy fin leve, Bondye fè yon sèl van lès soufle byen cho. Jonas te prèt pou pèdi konesans avèk chalè solèy la ki t'ap bat li sou tèt. Msye mande mouri, li di konsa: -Pito m' tou mouri m' fini ak sa!
And it was - when arose the sun and he appointed God a wind an east wind hot and it struck the sun on [the] head of Jonah and he became faint and he asked life his to die and he said [is] good death my more than life my.
9 Men, Bondye mande l' konsa: -Jonas, ou kwè ou gen rezon fache konsa pou yon ti pye masketi? Jonas reponn li: -Wi. Mwen gen rezon fache. M' fache pou m' mouri.
And he said God to Jonah ¿ rightly does it burn to you on the plant and he said rightly it burns to me to death.
10 Lè sa a, Seyè a reponn li: -An! Ou pran lapenn pou yon ti pye masketi ki pa koute ou anyen. Se pa ou ki te fè l' grandi. Li pran yon sèl nwit pou l' grandi. Apre yon sèl jou, li mouri.
And he said Yahweh you you had compassion on the plant which not you had toiled in it and not you had made grow it that a son of a night it was and a son of a night it perished.
11 Epi ou pa ta vle m' pran lapenn pou lavil Niniv, gwo kapital sa a, kote ki gen depase sanven mil (120.000) timoun inonsan, moun ki pa konnen ni sa ki byen ni sa ki mal, ansanm ak yon kantite bèt!
And I not will I have compassion? on Nineveh the city great which there in it [are] many more than two [plus] ten ten thousand person[s] who not he distinguishes between right [hand] his and left his and livestock much.
