Jonas 4
1 Ngem kasla saan nga umno daytoy kenni Jonas, ket kasta unay ti ungetna.
And Jonah was afflicted with a great affliction, and he was angry.
2 Isu a nagkararag kenni Yahweh ket kinunana, “Ah, Yahweh, saan kadi a daytoy ti kas imbagak kenka idi addaak iti bukodko a pagilian? Isu't gapuna a nagtignayak nga immuna ket pinadasko ti immadayo a napan idiay Tarsis—gapu ta ammok a naparaburka a Dios, manangngaasi, saan a nalaka a makaunget, napnoan ti kinapudno ket baliwam ti pangngeddengmo a mangibaon iti didigra.
And he prayed to the Lord, and he said, “I beg you, Lord, was this not my word, when I was still in my own land? Because of this, I knew beforehand to flee into Tarshish. For I know that you are a lenient and merciful God, patient and great in compassion, and forgiving despite ill will.
3 Ita ngarud, Yahweh, agpakpakaasiak kenka, alaemon ti biagko, ta nasaysayaat a matayak ngem ti agbiag.”
And now, Lord, I ask you to take my life from me. For it is better for me to die than to live.”
4 Kinuna ni Yahweh, “Nasayaat kadi a makaungetka?”
And the Lord said, “Do you really think you are right to be angry?”
5 Ket rimmuar ni Jonas iti siudad ken nagtugaw iti akindaya a paset daytoy. Nangaramid isuna iti paglinongan sadiay ket nagtugaw iti sirok daytoy tapno makitana ti mabalin a mapasamak iti siudad.
And Jonah went out of the city, and he sat opposite the east of the city. And he made himself a shelter there, and he was sitting under it in the shadow, until he might see what would befall the city.
6 Nangisagana ni Yahweh a Dios iti mula ket pinadakkelna daytoy a dimmanon iti ngatoen ni Jonas tapno malinongan ti ulona ket mabang-aran. Naragsakan unay ni Jonas gapu iti mula.
And the Lord God prepared an ivy, and it ascended over the head of Jonah so as to be a shadow over his head, and to protect him (for he had labored hard). And Jonah rejoiced because of the ivy, with great rejoicing.
7 Ngem nangisagana ti Dios iti igges idi sumingising ti init iti kabigatanna. Kinibkibanna ti mula ket nalaylay.
And God prepared a worm, when dawn approached on the next day, and it struck the ivy, and it dried up.
8 Ket napasamak, idi simmingising ti init iti kabigatanna, nangisagana ti Dios iti napudot nga angin manipud iti daya. Kasta met a nainitan ti ulo ni Jonas ket kimmapsut. Ket tinarigagayan ni Jonas a matay isunan. Kinunana iti bagina, “Nasaysayaat a matayak ngem ti agbiag.”
And when the sun had risen, the Lord ordered a hot and burning wind. And the sun beat down on the head of Jonah, and he burned. And he petitioned for his soul that he might die, and he said, “It is better for me to die than to live.”
9 Ket kinuna ti Dios kenni Jonas, “Nasayaat kadi a makaungetka maipanggep iti mula?” Ket kinuna ni Jonas, “Nasayaat a makaungetak, uray pakatayak.”
And the Lord said to Jonah, “Do you really think that you are right to be angry because of the ivy?” And he said, “I am right to be angry even unto death.”
10 Kinuna ni Yahweh, “Maasianka iti mula, a saanmo a nagbannogan wenno pinadakkel. Nagtubo daytoy iti rabii ken natay iti sumaruno a rabii.
And the Lord said, “You grieve for the ivy, for which you have not labored and which you did not cause to grow, though it had been born during one night, and during one night perished.
11 Isu a para kaniak, saan kadi a rumbeng a kaasiak ti Nineve, ti dakkel a siudad, nga addaan iti nasurok a sangagasut ket duapulo a ribu a tattao a saan a makaammo iti nagdumaan ti kannawan ken kannigid nga imada, ken kasta met dagiti adu a tarakenda?”
And shall I not spare Nineveh, the great city, in which there are more than one hundred and twenty thousand men, who do not know the difference between their right and their left, and many beasts?”
