< Jonas 4 >
1 Ngem kasla saan nga umno daytoy kenni Jonas, ket kasta unay ti ungetna.
But this displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very 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 Jehovah and said, Ah! Jehovah, was not this what I said, when I was yet in my own country? Therefore I made haste to flee to Tarshish. For I knew that thou art a gracious and merciful God, slow to anger and abundant in mercy, and that thou repentest of a threatened evil.
3 Ita ngarud, Yahweh, agpakpakaasiak kenka, alaemon ti biagko, ta nasaysayaat a matayak ngem ti agbiag.”
And now, O Jehovah, take, I pray thee, my life from me! for it is better for me to die than to live.
4 Kinuna ni Yahweh, “Nasayaat kadi a makaungetka?”
And Jehovah said, Is it right that thou shouldst 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.
Now Jonah had gone out of the city, and had sat on the east side of the city, and had made himself a booth there, and had sat under it in the shade, till he should see what would become of 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 God, Jehovah, appointed a gourd; and it grew up over Jonah to be a shadow over his head, to deliver him from his distress. And Jonah was exceedingly glad of the gourd.
7 Ngem nangisagana ti Dios iti igges idi sumingising ti init iti kabigatanna. Kinibkibanna ti mula ket nalaylay.
But God appointed a worm when the morning rose the next day, and it smote the gourd so that it withered.
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 arose, God appointed a sultry east wind; and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah, and he was faint, and he asked for himself death, and 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 God said to Jonah, Is it right that thou shouldst be angry for the gourd? And he said, It is right that I should be angry even to 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 Jehovah said, Thou hast had pity on the gourd for which thou hast not labored, and which thou madest not to grow, which grew up in a night and perished in a night;
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 should not I spare Nineveh, the great city, wherein are more than a hundred and twenty thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand, and also many cattle?
