Jonas 4
1 Men det syntes Jonas meget ille om, og hans vrede optendtes.
And it was displeasing to Jonah displeasure great and it burned to him.
2 Og han bad til Herren og sa: Å Herre! Var det ikke det jeg sa da jeg ennu var i mitt land? Derfor flydde jeg dengang til Tarsis; for jeg visste at du er en nådig og barmhjertig Gud, langmodig og rik på miskunnhet og angrer det onde.
And he prayed to Yahweh and he said I beg you O Yahweh ¿ not [was] this word my until was I on own land my there-fore I did [the] first time to flee Tarshish towards that I knew that you [are] a God gracious and compassionate long of anger and great of covenant loyalty and [who] relents on evil.
3 Så ta nu, Herre, mitt liv! For jeg vil heller dø enn leve.
And therefore O Yahweh take please life my from me for [is] good death my more than life my.
4 Men Herren sa: Er det med rette din vrede er optendt?
And he said Yahweh ¿ rightly does it burn to you.
5 Jonas var gått ut av byen; han hadde satt sig østenfor byen, og der hadde han gjort sig en løvhytte og satt under den i skyggen for å se hvorledes det gikk med byen.
And he went out Jonah from the city and he sat from east of the city and he made for himself there a shelter and he sat under it in the shade until that he will see what? will it be in the city.
6 Da lot Gud Herren et kikajontre vokse op over Jonas til å skygge over hans hode, så han kunde bli fri sitt mismot; og Jonas gledet sig høilig over kikajontreet.
And he appointed Yahweh God a plant and it went up - over Jonah to be shade over head his to deliver him from distress his and he rejoiced Jonah on the plant a joy great.
7 Men dagen efter, da morgenen brøt frem, lot Gud en orm komme, som stakk kikajontreet så det visnet.
And he appointed God a worm when came up the dawn to the next day and it attacked the plant and it withered.
8 Og da solen stod op, sendte Gud en lummer østenvind, og solen stakk Jonas' hode, så han vansmektet; da ønsket han sig døden og sa: Jeg vil heller dø enn leve.
And it was - when arose the sun and he appointed God a wind an east wind hot and it struck the sun on [the] head of Jonah and he became faint and he asked life his to die and he said [is] good death my more than life my.
9 Men Gud sa til Jonas: Er det med rette din vrede er optendt for kikajontreets skyld? Han svarte: Ja, med rette er min vrede optendt inntil døden.
And he said God to Jonah ¿ rightly does it burn to you on the plant and he said rightly it burns to me to death.
10 Da sa Herren: Du ynkes over kikajontreet, som du ikke har hatt møie med og ikke opelsket, som blev til på en natt og forgikk på en natt;
And he said Yahweh you you had compassion on the plant which not you had toiled in it and not you had made grow it that a son of a night it was and a son of a night it perished.
11 og jeg skulde ikke ynkes over Ninive, den store stad, hvor det er mere enn tolv ganger ti tusen mennesker som ikke kjenner forskjell mellem høire og venstre, og en mengde dyr!
And I not will I have compassion? on Nineveh the city great which there in it [are] many more than two [plus] ten ten thousand person[s] who not he distinguishes between right [hand] his and left his and livestock much.
