Yoonis 4

1 Laakiinse Yoonis taas aad buu uga calool xumaaday, wuuna xanaaqay.

But this really upset Jonah, and he became very 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.

He prayed to the Lord and told him, “Lord, wasn't this what I said when I was back home? That's why I ran away to Tarshish in the first place! For I knew that you are a gracious and compassionate God, very patient and full of kindhearted love, who relents from sending disaster.

3 Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed, Rabbiyow, waan ku baryayaaye naftayda iga qaad, waayo, intii aan noolaan lahaa waxaa iiga roon inaan dhinto.

So just kill me now, Lord, because I'd prefer to die than to live!”

4 Markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu ku yidhi, War inaad xanaaqdid ma kuu wanaagsan tahay?

The Lord responded, “Do you have a good reason to be so 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.

Jonah left the city and sat down to the east of it. There he made himself a shelter so he could sit in the shade and watch what would happen to 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.

The Lord God had a plant grow up and provide shade over Jonah's head to ease his discomfort. Jonah was very happy with the plant.

7 Laakiinse maalintii dambe markii waagii beryay ayaa Ilaah diyaariyey dixiri, oo isna geedkii ubbada ahaa ayuu gooyay ilaa uu engegay.

The next day at dawn the Lord had a maggot attack the plant and it withered.

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.

Then as the sun came up the Lord arranged for a scorching east wind to blow, and the sun beat down on Jonah's head so that he became faint and wanted to die. “I'd rather die than live!” he said.

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.

But the Lord asked Jonah, “Do you have a good reason to be so angry about the plant?” “Yes I do!” Jonah replied. “I'm angry enough to die!”

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.

Then the Lord told Jonah, “You're concerned about a plant which you did nothing about, and you didn't make it grow. It came up overnight and died overnight.

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?

Shouldn't I be concerned about the great city of Nineveh where one hundred and twenty thousand people live who don't know their right hand from their left, not to mention all the animals?”
