Yona 4
1 Lakini hili lilimchukiza Yona naye akakasirika.
And it was displeasing to Jonah displeasure great and it burned to him.
2 Basi Yona akamwomba Bwana akasema, “Ee, Bwana, hiya sio yale niliyosema wakati niliporudi katika nchi yangu? Ndiyo maana nilifanya haraka na kujaribu kukimbia Tarshishi-kwa sababu nilijua kuwa wewe ni Mungu mwenye neema, mwenye huruma, si meingi wa hasira, mwingi kwa uaminifu, na hughairi maafa.
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 Kwa hiyo sasa, Bwana, nakuomba, uniondoe uhai wangu, kwa maana ni bora kwangu kufa kuliko kuishi.”
And therefore O Yahweh take please life my from me for [is] good death my more than life my.
4 Bwana akasema, Je, ni vema kwamba umekasirika?”
And he said Yahweh ¿ rightly does it burn to you.
5 Kisha Yona akaondoka mjini akaketi upande wa mashariki wa jiji. Huko alifanya makao na akaketi chini yake katika kivuli ili aweze kuona mji utakuwaje.
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 Bwana Mungu aliandaa mmea na kuukuza juu ya Yona ili uwe kivuli juu ya kichwa chake ili kupunguza dhiki yake. Yona alikuwa na furaha kubwa kwa sababu ya mmea.
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 Lakini Mungu aliandaa mdudu kulipopambazuka asubuhi iliyofuata. Alishambulia mmea na mmea ukapooza.
And he appointed God a worm when came up the dawn to the next day and it attacked the plant and it withered.
8 Ikawa wakati jua lilipochomoza asubuhi, Mungu aliandaa upepo mkali wa mashariki. Pia, jua lilipiga kichwa cha Yona na akaanguka. Kisha Yona alitamani kufa. Akajiambia, “Ni bora kwangu kufa kuliko kuishi.”
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 Kisha Mungu akamwambia Yona, “Je, ni vema wewe kuwa na hasira juu ya mmea?” Yona akasema, Ni vyema kuwa nimekasirika hata kufa.
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 Bwana akasema, Umeuhurumia mmea, ambao haukuufanyia kazi wala haukukua. Uliomea katika usiku na kufa usiku.
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 Kwa hiyo mimi, haikunipassa kuuhurumia Ninawi, mji mkuu, ambalo kuna watu zaidi ya mia na ishirini elfu ambao hawajui tofauti kati ya mkono wao wa kulia na mkono wao wa kushoto, na pia ng'ombe wengi?
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.
