Yunana 4
1 Sai abin ya ɓata wa Yunana rai ƙwarai har ya yi fushi.
But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry.
2 Sai ya yi addu’a ga Ubangiji ya ce, “Ya Ubangiji, ba irin abin da na faɗa ke nan ba tun ina gida? Wannan ne ya sa na yi ƙoƙarin tserewa zuwa Tarshish. Ai, na sani kai Allah ne mai alheri da tausayi, mai jinkirin fushi da cikakkiyar ƙauna, kai Allah ne mai dakatar da nufinka na yin hukunci.
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.
3 Yanzu, ya Ubangiji, ka ɗauki raina, domin ya fi sauƙi a gare ni in mutu da in rayu.”
Therefore now, O LORD, take, I beseech thee, my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live.
4 Amma Ubangiji ya amsa, ya ce; “Daidai ne ka yi fushi?”
Then said the LORD, Doest thou well to be angry?
5 Sai Yunana ya fita daga birnin ya yi wajen gabas, ya zauna. A nan ya yi wa kansa rumfa, ya zauna cikin inuwarta yana jira yă ga abin da zai sami birnin.
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.
6 Sai Ubangiji Allah ya sa wata’yar kuringa ta tsiro, ta yi girma a inda Yunana yake, don ta inuwantar da shi, yă ji daɗi. Yunana kuwa ya yi murna matuƙa da wannan kuringa.
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.
7 Amma kashegari da safe sai Allah ya sa tsutsa ta cinye’yar kuringar har ta mutu.
But God prepared a worm when the morning rose the next day, and it smote the gourd that it withered.
8 Sa’ad da rana ta yi sama, sai Allah ya sa iskar gabas mai zafi ta huro, zafin ranar kuma ya buga kan Yunana, har ya ji sai ka ce zai suma. Ya so a ce ya mutu ma, sai ya ce, “Gara in mutu da a ce ina zaune da rai.”
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.
9 Amma Allah ya ce wa Yunana, “Daidai ne ka yi fushi saboda wannan kuringa?” Sai Yunana ya ce, “I, daidai ne, ina fushi matuƙa, har ina so da na mutu ma.”
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.
10 Sai Ubangiji ya ce, “Ai, wannan kuringa ta tsira dare ɗaya ta kuma ɓace kafin dare na biyu, ba ka yi wata wahala dominta ba, ba kai ne ka sa ta yi girma ba, duk da haka ranka ya ɓace saboda ita.
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:
11 Ashe, ba dole ne in ji tausayin babban birnin nan Ninebe mai mutum sama da dubu ɗari da ashirin marasa alhaki, da kuma dabbobi masu yawa ba?”
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?
