Iona 4
1 A HE mea hewa nui ia ia Iona, a huhu iho la ia.
But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was angry.
2 A pule aku la no ia ia Iehova, i aku la, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e Iehova, aole anei keia kuu olelo, i kuu noho ana ma ko'u aina? Nolaila i holo aku ai au mamua i Taresisa: no ka mea, ua ike no au he Akua ahonui oe, a me ke aloha, e hakalia ana i ka huhu, a he lokomaikai nui, a me ka haalele i ka manao hoopai.
He prayed to the LORD, and said, "Please, LORD, wasn't this what I said when I was still in my own country? Therefore I hurried to flee to Tarshish, for I knew that you are a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, and you relent of doing harm.
3 Ano hoi, e Iehova, ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e lawe oe i kuu ola mai o'u aku la; no ka mea, ua oi ka maikai o kuu make mamua o ke ola.
Therefore now, LORD, take, I beg you, my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live."
4 A olelo mai o Iehova, He pono anei nou ka huhu?
The LORD said, "Is it right for you to be angry?"
5 A hele aku la o Iona iwaho o ke kulanakauhale, a noho iho la ma ka hikina o ke kulanakauhale, a hana iho la ilaila i wahi lanai nona, a noho iho la malalo o kona malu, i ike aku ia i ka mea e hanaia ma ke kulanakauhale.
Then Jonah went out of the city, and sat on the east side of the city, and there made himself a booth, and sat under it in the shade, until he might see what would become of the city.
6 A hoomakaukau o Iehova ke Akua i laau aila, a hooulu ae la ia mea maluna o Iona, i lilo ia i wahi malumalu o kona poo, e hoopakele ia ia mai kona mea kaumaha. A olioli nui o Iona i ka laau aila.
The LORD God prepared a vine, and made it to come up over Jonah, that it might be a shade over his head, to deliver him from his discomfort. So Jonah was exceedingly glad because of the vine.
7 A hoomakaukau ke Akua i wahi enuhe i ka wanaao i ka la apopo, a ai iho la ia i ka laau aila, a mae iho la ia.
But God prepared a worm at dawn the next day, and it chewed on the vine, so that it withered.
8 A i ka wa i puka mai ai ka la, hoomakaukau ke Akua i makani hikina wela: a kau ka la maluna o ke poo o Iona, a maule iho la ia, a manao iho la iloko ona e make, a i iho la, ua oi ka maikai o kuu make mamua o ke ola.
It happened, when the sun arose, that God prepared a sultry east wind; and the sun beat on Jonah's head, so that he fainted, and requested for himself that he might die, and said, "It is better for me to die than to live."
9 A olelo mai la ke Akua ia Iona, He pono anei kou huhu no ka laau aila? A i aku la ia, He pono ko'u huhu a i ka make.
God said to Jonah, "Is it right for you to be angry about the vine?" He said, "I am right to be angry, even to death."
10 A olelo mai o Iehova, Ua minamina anei oe i ka laau aila, ka mea aole oe i luhi, aole hoi oe i hooulu: kupu mai no ia i ka po hookahi, a make iho la i ka po hookahi:
The LORD said, "You have been concerned for the vine, for which you have not labored, neither made it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night.
11 Aole anei he pono ko'u mina mina ana ia Nineva, ke kulanakauhale nui, iloko ona he lehulehu, hookahi haneri a me ka iwakalua na tausani a keu aku, ka poe ike ole iwaena o ka lima akau a me ka lima hema; a ua nui loa hoi na holoholona?
Shouldn't I be concerned for Nineveh, that great city, in which are more than one hundred twenty thousand persons who can't discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much livestock?"
