Yona 4
1 Yona asepelaki na yango ata moke te, asilikaki makasi.
And Jonas was turmentid with greet turment, and was wrooth.
2 Asambelaki Yawe: — Oh Yawe! Ezali te makambo ya boye nde nazalaki komilobela tango nazalaki epai na ngai? Yango wana nasalaki na ngai mobembo na Tarsisi mpo na koluka kokima, pamba te nayebaki malamu ete ozali Nzambe ya ngolu mpe ya mawa, osilikaka noki te mpe otonda na bolingo, obongolaka makanisi na Yo ya kosala bato mabe.
And he preiede the Lord, and seide, Lord, Y biseche, whether this is not my word, whanne Y was yit in my lond? For this thing Y purposide, for to fle in to Tharsis; for Y woot, that thou, God, art meke and merciful, pacient, and of merciful doyng, and foryyuynge on malice.
3 Sik’oyo, oh Yawe, kamata na Yo bomoi na ngai; pamba te eleki malamu ete nakufa na ngai, kasi nazala na bomoi te!
And now, Lord, Y preie, take my soule fro me; for deth is betere to me than lijf.
4 Kasi Yawe azongiselaki ye: — Boni, okanisi ete ozali kosala malamu ndenge ozali kosilika?
And the Lord seide, Gessist thou, whether thou art wel wrooth?
5 Yona abimaki na libanda ya engumba mpe akendeki kovanda na este na yango. Kuna, amitongelaki ndako moko ya matiti mpe avandaki na se ya pio na yango mpo na kozela makambo oyo ekokweyela engumba Ninive.
And Jonas wente out of the citee, and sat ayens the eest of the citee, and made to hym a schadewyng place there; and sat vndur it in schadewe, til he sai what bifelle to the citee.
6 Yawe Nzambe abimisaki nzete moko mpe akolisaki yango mpo na kopesa pio na moto ya Yona mpe kokitisa ye motema. Nzete yango esepelisaki Yona makasi.
And the Lord God made redy an yuy, and it stiede vp on the heed of Jonas, that schadewe were on his heed, and kyueride hym; for he hadde trauelid. And Jonas was glad on the yuy, with greet gladnesse.
7 Kasi na tongo-tongo ya mokolo oyo elandaki, Nzambe abimisaki mwa nyama moko oyo eliaka banzete; bongo eliaki nzete yango, mpe nzete yango ekawukaki.
And God made redi a worm, in stiyng up of grei dai on the morewe; and it smoot the yuy, and it driede up.
8 Tango moyi ebimaki makasi, Nzambe atindaki mopepe ya este oyo epesaki molunge makasi. Moyi ebetaki moto ya Yona makasi. Yona alembaki nzoto, asengaki kokufa; alobaki: — Eleki malamu ete nakufa na ngai, kasi nazala na bomoi te!
And whanne the sunne was risun, the Lord comaundide to the hoot wynd and brennyng; and the sunne smoot on the heed of Jonas, and he swalide. And he axide to his soule that he schulde die, and seide, It is betere to me for to die, than for to lyue.
9 Nzambe alobaki na Yona: — Okanisi ete ozali kosala malamu ndenge ozali kosilika mpo na nzete oyo? Yona azongisaki: — Ezali se bongo. Nazali kosala malamu ndenge nazali kosilika kino kosenga kufa na ngai.
And the Lord seide to Jonas, Gessist thou, whether thou art wel wrooth on the yuy? And he seide, Y am wel wrooth, til to the deth.
10 Yawe alobaki: — Oyoki pasi na motema mpo na nzete oyo omoneli ata pasi te mpe okolisi te, oyo ekoli kaka na butu moko mpe ekawuki na butu oyo elandi! Oyokeli yango mpe mawa!
And the Lord seide, Thou art sori on the yuy, in which thou trauelidist not, nether madist that it wexide, which was growun vndur o nyyt, and perischide in o nyyt.
11 Bongo ndenge nini Ngai nayoka motema pasi te mpo na Ninive, engumba monene, oyo ezali na bato koleka nkoto nkama moko na tuku mibale oyo bayebi te kokesenisa makambo mabe mpe makambo malamu, mpe ezali na ebele ya bibwele?
And schal Y not spare the grete citee Nynyue, in which ben more than sixe score thousynde of men, which witen not what is betwixe her riyt half and left, and many beestis?
