< Jonas 4 >
1 Dette gjorde Jona ovleg vondt, og han vart brennande harm.
And it was displeasing to Jonah displeasure great and it burned to him.
2 Han bad då til Herren og sagde: «Å Herre, var det ikkje dette eg tenkte, då eg endå var i mitt land? Difor flydde eg so snøgt til Tarsis; for eg visste du er ein nådig og miskunnsam Gud, langmodig og rik på miskunn, og angrar det vonde.
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 So tak no, Herre, livet mitt ifrå meg! For eg vil heller døy enn liva.»
And therefore O Yahweh take please life my from me for [is] good death my more than life my.
4 Då sagde Herren: «Hev du grunn til å harmast?»
And he said Yahweh ¿ rightly does it burn to you.
5 Og Jona gjekk ut or byen og sette seg austanfor byen. Der gjorde han seg ei hytta og sette seg der i skuggen, og vilde sjå korleis det gjekk 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 Då let Herren Gud ein kikajon veksa upp yver Jona, til å skyggja yver hovudet hans og fria honom ifrå hans mismod; og Jona fann stor gleda i kikajonen.
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 næste dag, då morgonroden rann, sende Gud ein makk, som stakk kikajonen so han visna.
And he appointed God a worm when came up the dawn to the next day and it attacked the plant and it withered.
8 Då soli rann, sende Gud ein brennande austanvind, og soli stakk Jona på hovudet so han ormegtast. Han ynskte då å få døy og sagde: «Eg vil heller døy enn liva.»
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 sagde til Jona: «Hev du grunn til å harmast for kikajonen skuld?» Han svara: «Eg hev grunn til å harmast til dauden.»
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 Då sagde Herren: «Du ynkast yver kikajonen, som du ikkje hev havt møda med og ikkje hev ale upp, som kom til på ei natt og gjekk til grunns etter ei 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 so skulde ikkje eg ynkast yver Nineve, den store byen, der det finst meir enn eit hundrad og tjuge tusund menneskje som ikkje kann skilja millom høgre og vinstre, og mange 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.
