Jona 4
1 Hagi Jona'a musena osuno tusi asi vazigeno,
And it is grievous to Jonah—a great evil—and he is displeased at it;
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 prays to YHWH, and he says, “Ah, now, O YHWH, is this not my word while I was in my own land—therefore I was beforehand [going] to flee to Tarshish—that I have known that You [are] a God, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in kindness, and relenting of evil?
3 E'izanku nona'a, Ra Anumzamoka nagri menina nahege'na fri'neno. Nagrama omani'na, frisugeno'a knare hugahie.
And now, O YHWH, please take my soul from me, for better [is] my death than my life.”
4 Ra Anumzamo'a anage hu'ne, knare kegafa me'negenka krimpa nehano?
And YHWH says, “Is doing good displeasing to you?”
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 goes forth from the city, and sits on the east of the city, and makes a shelter for himself there, and sits under it in the shade, until he sees what is in 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 YHWH God appoints a gourd, and causes it to come up over Jonah, to be a shade over his head, to give deliverance to him from his affliction, and Jonah rejoices because of the gourd [with] great joy.
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 appoints a worm at the going up of the dawn on the next day, and it strikes the gourd, and it dries 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 it comes to pass, about the rising of the sun, that God appoints a cutting east wind, and the sun strikes on the head of Jonah, and he wraps himself up, and asks for his soul to die, and says, “Better [is] my death than my life.”
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 God says to Jonah: “Is doing good displeasing to you, because of the gourd?” And he says, “To do good is displeasing to me—to 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 YHWH says, “You have had pity on the gourd, for which you did not labor, neither did you nourish it, which came up [as] a son of night, and perished [as] a son of night,
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 I—do I not have pity on Nineveh, the great city, in which there are more than one hundred twenty thousand of mankind, who have not known between their right hand and their left—and much livestock?”
