Yoonaas 4
1 Wanni kun Yoonaasin baayʼee hin gammachiifne; inni ni aare.
And it was displeasing to Jonah displeasure great and it burned to him.
2 Akkana jedhees Waaqayyoon kadhate; “Yaa Waaqayyo wanni ani yeroo biyya koo turetti jedhe sun kanuma mitii? Wanni ani Tarshiishitti baqachuuf ariifadheefis kana. Ani akka ati Waaqa arjaa fi garaa laafessa, kan dafee hin aarree fi kan jaalalli isaa guddaa taʼe, Waaqa balaa buusuu irraa of qusatu taate nan beeka.
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 Yaa Waaqayyo jiraachuu mannaa duʼuu naaf wayyaatii amma lubbuu koo fudhadhu.”
And therefore O Yahweh take please life my from me for [is] good death my more than life my.
4 Waaqayyo garuu, “Ati aaruun kee sirriidhaa?” jedheen.
And he said Yahweh ¿ rightly does it burn to you.
5 Yoonaasis magaalattii keessaa baʼee karaa baʼa magaalattiitiin taaʼe. Innis achitti daasii tokko ijaarratee gaaddisa isaa jala taaʼee waan magaalattiin taʼuuf jirtu arguuf eege.
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 Waaqayyo Waaqni biqiltuu qopheessee akka inni Yoonaasiin olitti guddatee mataa isaa irra gaaddisa buusee akka gaddi itti qabbanaaʼu godhe; Yoonaasis sababii biqiltuu sanaatiif baayʼee gammade.
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 Borumtaa bariis Waaqni biqiltuun sun akka goguuf raammoo isa nyaatu itti erge.
And he appointed God a worm when came up the dawn to the next day and it attacked the plant and it withered.
8 Yeroo biiftuun baatettis Waaqni bubbee baʼa biiftuu hoʼaa tokko erge; aduunis akka inni gaggabuuf mataa Yoonaasitti baate. Innis duʼuu barbaadee, “Jiraachuu mannaa duʼuu naaf wayya” jedhe.
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 Waaqni garuu, “Ati waaʼee biqiltuu sanaatiif aaruun kee sirriidhaa?” jedheen. Yoonaasis, “Eeyyee. Ani hamma duʼaatti utuun aare iyyuu nan barbaada” jedhe.
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 Waaqayyo garuu akkana jedhe; “Ati yoo biqiltuu kana eeguu yookaan akka inni guddatu gochuu baatte illee waaʼee isaa yaaddofteerta. Biqiltuun kun halkanuma tokkoon guddatee halkanuma tokkoon duʼe.
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 Nanawween garuu namoota bitaa fi mirga isaanii iyyuu gargar baasanii hin beekne kuma dhibba tokkoo fi kuma digdamaa fi loon hedduu qabdi. Ani magaalaa guddoo akkasiitiif yaaduu hin qabuu ree?”
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.
