< Yoonis 4 >

1 Laakiinse Yoonis taas aad buu uga calool xumaaday, wuuna xanaaqay.
And Jonah was afflicted with a great affliction, and he was angry.
2 Kolkaasuu wuxuu baryay Rabbiga oo ku yidhi, Rabbiyow, waan ku baryayaaye, sow kanu ma aha hadalkii aan idhi intaan weli dalkaygii joogay? Oo taas daraaddeed ayaan u degdegay si aan xagga Tarshiish ugu cararo, waayo, waan ogaa inaad tahay Ilaah nimco miidhan ah, oo raxmadu ka buuxdo, oo cadhada u gaabiya, oo naxariis badan, iyo inaad sharka ka noqotid.
And he prayed to the Lord, and he said, “I beg you, Lord, was this not my word, when I was still in my own land? Because of this, I knew beforehand to flee into Tarshish. For I know that you are a lenient and merciful God, patient and great in compassion, and forgiving despite ill will.
3 Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed, Rabbiyow, waan ku baryayaaye naftayda iga qaad, waayo, intii aan noolaan lahaa waxaa iiga roon inaan dhinto.
And now, Lord, I ask you to take my life from me. For it is better for me to die than to live.”
4 Markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu ku yidhi, War inaad xanaaqdid ma kuu wanaagsan tahay?
And the Lord said, “Do you really think you are right to be angry?”
5 Markaasaa Yoonis ka baxay magaaladii, oo wuxuu fadhiistay magaalada dhankeedii bari, oo halkaasuu waab ka dhistay. Markaasuu hadhkii hoos fadhiistay ilaa uu arko waxa magaalada ku dhacaya.
And Jonah went out of the city, and he sat opposite the east of the city. And he made himself a shelter there, and he was sitting under it in the shadow, until he might see what would befall the city.
6 Kolkaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu diyaariyey geed ubbo ah, oo wuxuu ka dhigay inuu kor fuulo waabkii Yoonis, si uu hoos ugu noqdo, oo uu uga samatabbixiyo xaalkiisii xumaa. Sidaas daraaddeed Yoonis aad iyo aad buu ugu farxay geedkii ubbada ahaa aawadiis.
And the Lord God prepared an ivy, and it ascended over the head of Jonah so as to be a shadow over his head, and to protect him (for he had labored hard). And Jonah rejoiced because of the ivy, with great rejoicing.
7 Laakiinse maalintii dambe markii waagii beryay ayaa Ilaah diyaariyey dixiri, oo isna geedkii ubbada ahaa ayuu gooyay ilaa uu engegay.
And God prepared a worm, when dawn approached on the next day, and it struck the ivy, and it dried up.
8 Oo kolkii qorraxdii soo baxday ayaa Ilaah diyaariyey dabayl kulul oo bari ka timid; qorraxdiina Yoonis ayay madaxa kaga dhegtay ilaa uu itaal darnaaday, oo isna wuxuu ku baryootamay inuu dhinto, oo wuxuu yidhi, Intii aan noolaan lahaa waxaa iiga roon inaan dhinto.
And when the sun had risen, the Lord ordered a hot and burning wind. And the sun beat down on the head of Jonah, and he burned. And he petitioned for his soul that he might die, and he said, “It is better for me to die than to live.”
9 Markaasaa Ilaah wuxuu Yoonis ku yidhi, War inaad geedkii ubbada ahaa u xanaaqdid ma kuu wanaagsan tahay? Oo isna wuxuu yidhi, Haah, oo inaan cadhoodo way ii wanaagsan tahay xataa ilaa dhimasho.
And the Lord said to Jonah, “Do you really think that you are right to be angry because of the ivy?” And he said, “I am right to be angry even unto death.”
10 Markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu ku yidhi, Waxaad u jixinjixday geedkii ubbada ahaa oo aadan u hawshoon oo aadan korinin oo habeen iska soo baxay oo habeen ku baabba'ay.
And the Lord said, “You grieve for the ivy, for which you have not labored and which you did not cause to grow, though it had been born during one night, and during one night perished.
11 Haddaba sow iima eka inaan u jixinjixo magaalada weyn oo Nineweh, taasoo ay gudaheeda ku jiraan dad ka badan boqol iyo labaatan kun oo qof oo aan kala garan karin gacantooda midig iyo gacantooda bidix, iyo weliba xoolo badan?
And shall I not spare Nineveh, the great city, in which there are more than one hundred and twenty thousand men, who do not know the difference between their right and their left, and many beasts?”
