< Jona 4 >

1 Hagi Jona'a musena osuno tusi asi vazigeno,
And Jonah was afflicted with a great affliction, and he was angry.
2 Ra Anumzamofontega anage huno nunamuna hu'ne, Ra Anumzamoka muse (plis) hugantoe. Ese agafareti nagra ko antahi'noe, Ninivea eri haviza osugahane hu'na kumani'are mani'nena antahi'noe. Antahite'na mopani'a atre'na, Tasisia nagra fre'na vu'noe! Na'ankure, Kagra kasunku nehunka knare kavukva vahera huzmante Anumza mani'nane, agazone hunezmantenka kasunku'zamo avite Anumzankinka, zamazeri haviza hugahue hana vahera anara nosane.
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 E'izanku nona'a, Ra Anumzamoka nagri menina nahege'na fri'neno. Nagrama omani'na, frisugeno'a knare hugahie.
And now, Lord, I ask you to take my life from me. For it is better for me to die than to live.”
4 Ra Anumzamo'a anage hu'ne, knare kegafa me'negenka krimpa nehano?
And the Lord said, “Do you really think you are right to be angry?”
5 Anage higeno, Jona'a ra kumara atreno zage hanati kaziga via'zamo, zage tonare huno osi no ome kino anampinka mani'neno, inankna'za Ninivea fore hugahie nehuno avu anteno mani'ne.
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 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a aza huno Jonana anumofo tona huntenogu, nofi traza huntegeno hageno mareri'ne, ana nofi'ma hage'nea zankura Jona'a, tusi'za huno musena hu'ne.
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 Hianagi maseno ko'atigeno nanterampi, Anumzamo'a havigafa huntegeno ana nofira eme ani traga hutregeno, ana nofi'mo'a hagege hu'ne.
And God prepared a worm, when dawn approached on the next day, and it struck the ivy, and it dried up.
8 Zagema hanatigeno'a, Anumzamo'a amuho nentake zaho, zage hanati kazigati huntegeno, zagemo'a Jona anuntera tentegeno, avu evu evu higeno Jona'a fri'za nehuno, anage huno kezati'ne, nagrama nagesa antahuana frisugeno'a knare hugahie, kasefa hu'na mani'zankura nave'osie.
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 Anante Anumzamo'a Jonana amanage huno asmi'ne, Knare ke agafare nofikura kasia nevazio? Huno antahigegeno Jona'a knare ke agafare nagrira nasivazige'na friku nehue hu'ne.
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 Higeno Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hu'ne, Eri'za erinka, krinka kegava hu'nana nofiku kagra krimpagna nehano, nofimo'a mago kenage hageteno mago zage knafi fri'ne.
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 Ninive rankumapina 120 tauseni'a agatere'nea vahe mani'nazankiza e'izana tamazanki, havizanki hu'za osugahaz. Afu' kevuzaga rama'a mani'naze. Hianagi, kagrama antahi'nana, Nagra e'i ana rankumakura nagesa nontahuo? Huno asmi'ne.
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?”
