UJona 4

1 Kodwa kwaba kubi kakhulukazi kuJona, wathukuthela yena.

and be evil to(wards) Jonah distress: evil great: large and to be incensed to/for him

2 Wasekhuleka eNkosini, wathi: Ngiyakuncenga, Nkosi, leli lalingesilo ilizwi lami ngiseselizweni lakithi yini? Ngenxa yalokhu ngandulela ngokubalekela eTarshishi; ngoba ngangisazi ukuthi wena unguNkulunkulu olomusa lolesihawu, ophuza ukuthukuthela, omkhulu ngothando, njalo ozisola ngokubi.

and to pray to(wards) LORD and to say Please! LORD not this word: speaking my till to be I upon land: country my upon so to meet to/for to flee Tarshish [to] for to know for you(m. s.) God gracious and compassionate slow face: anger and many kindness and to be sorry: relent upon [the] distress: harm

3 Ngakho-ke, Nkosi, susa, ngiyakuncenga, impilo yami kimi, ngoba kungcono kimi ukufa kulokuphila.

and now LORD to take: take please [obj] soul: life my from me for pleasant death my from life my

4 INkosi yasisithi: Wenza kuhle yini ngokuthukuthela kwakho?

and to say LORD be good to be incensed to/for you

5 UJona wasephuma emzini, wahlala ngasempumalanga komuzi, wazenzela idumba khona, wahlala ngaphansi kwalo emthunzini, aze abone okuzakwenzakala kuwo umuzi.

and to come out: come Jonah from [the] city and to dwell from front: east to/for city and to make to/for him there booth and to dwell underneath: under her in/on/with shadow till which to see: see what? to be in/on/with city

6 INkosi uNkulunkulu yasimisa umhlafutho, yawukhulisa ngaphezu kukaJona, ukuze ube ngumthunzi phezu kwekhanda lakhe, ukumkhulula kubuhlungu bakhe. UJona wasethokoza ngenxa yomhlafutho ngentokozo enkulu.

and to count LORD God plant and to ascend: rise from upon to/for Jonah to/for to be shadow upon head his to/for to rescue to/for him from distress: harm his and to rejoice Jonah upon [the] plant joy great: large

7 Kodwa uNkulunkulu wamisa impehlane ekuveleni kokusa kusisa, yatshaya umhlafutho, waze wabuna.

and to count [the] God worm in/on/with to ascend: rise [the] dawn to/for morrow and to smite [obj] [the] plant and to wither

8 Kwasekusithi ekuphumeni kwelanga, uNkulunkulu wamisa umoya wempumalanga otshisayo; njalo ilanga latshaya phezu kwekhanda likaJona, waze waphela amandla; wafisa emphefumulweni wakhe ukuthi afe, wathi: Kungcono kimi ukufa kulokuphila.

and to be like/as to rise [the] sun and to count God spirit: breath east scorching and to smite [the] sun upon head Jonah and to enwrap and to ask [obj] soul: myself his to/for to die and to say pleasant death my from life my

9 UNkulunkulu wasesithi kuJona: Wenza kuhle yini ngokuthukuthela kwakho ngenxa yomhlafutho? Wasesithi: Ngenza kuhle ngokuthukuthela kwami kuze kube sekufeni.

and to say God to(wards) Jonah be good to be incensed to/for you upon [the] plant and to say be good to be incensed to/for me till death

10 INkosi yasisithi: Wena ube lozwelo phezu komhlafutho ongawutshikatshikelanga, ongawukhulisanga; owaba khona ngobusuku bunye, wabhubha ngobusuku bunye.

and to say LORD you(m. s.) to pity upon [the] plant which not to toil in/on/with him and not to magnify him which/that son: type of night to be and son: type of night to perish

11 Mina-ke ngabe kangihawukeli yini iNineve, umuzi omkhulu, okuthi kuwo kulabantu abedlula izinkulungwane ezilikhulu lamatshumi amabili abangaziyo ukwehlukanisa phakathi kwesandla sabo sokunene lesandla sabo sokhohlo, kanye lenkomo ezinengi?

and I not to pity upon Nineveh [the] city [the] great: large which there in/on/with her to multiply from two ten ten thousand man which not to know between right his to/for left his and animal many
