Jonah 4
1 But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was angry.
Tas rieba Jonam ar gaužu riebšanu, un viņa dusmība iedegās.
2 And he prayed to Jehovah, and said, I pray thee, O Jehovah, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I hastened to flee to Tarshish, for I knew that thou are a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, and relent thee of the evil.
Un viņš pielūdza To Kungu un sacīja: ak Kungs, vai es tā nesacīju, kad es vēl biju savā zemē? Tāpēc es papriekš steidzos bēgt uz Taršišu, jo es zināju, ka Tu esi žēlīgs un žēlsirdīgs Dievs, lēnprātīgs un no lielas žēlastības, kam paliek žēl par to ļaunumu.
3 Therefore now, O Jehovah, I beseech thee, take my life from me, for it is better for me to die than to live.
Tad nu, Kungs, ņem manu dvēseli no manis, jo man ir labāki mirt nekā dzīvot.
4 And Jehovah said, Do thou well to be angry?
Bet Tas Kungs sacīja: vai tu gan dusmo pareizi?
5 Then Jonah went out of the city, and sat on the east side of the city, and there made himself a booth, and sat under it in the shade, till he might see what would become of the city.
Un Jona izgāja no pilsētas un apsēdās pret rīta pusi no pilsētas un tur sev taisīja būdiņu un apsēdās tur pavēnī, tiekams redzētu, kas ar to pilsētu būs.
6 And Jehovah God prepared a gourd, and made it to come up over Jonah, that it might be a shade over his head, to deliver him from his misery. So Jonah was very glad because of the gourd.
Tad Dievs Tas Kungs deva rīcinus stādu (ar lielām lapām); tas uzauga pār Jonu, lai viņam būtu ēna pār galvu un lai viņu atsvabinātu no viņa ļaunuma; un Jona priecājās par to rīcinus stādu ar lielu prieku.
7 But God prepared a worm when the morning rose the next day, and it smote the gourd, that it withered.
Bet Dievs deva tārpu otrā dienā, kad saule uzlēca, tas dūra to rīcinus stādu, ka tas nokalta.
8 And it came to pass, when the sun arose, that God prepared a sultry east wind, and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah, that he fainted, and requested for himself that he might die, and said, It is better for me to die than to live.
Un kad saule uzlēca, tad Dievs deva sausu rīta vēju, un saule spieda Jonam uz galvu, ka tas kļuva gurdens, un viņš savai dvēselei vēlēja mirt un sacīja: labāk man būtu mirt nekā dzīvot.
9 And God said to Jonah, Do thou well to be angry for the gourd? And he said, I do well to be angry, even to death.
Tad Dievs sacīja uz Jonu: vai tev šķiet, ka tu pareizi dusmo par to rīcinus stādu? Un viņš sacīja: gan pareizi es dusmoju līdz pat nāvei.
10 And Jehovah said, Thou have had regard for the gourd, for which thou have not labored, nor made it grow, which came up in a night, and perished in a night.
Bet Tas Kungs sacīja: tev ir žēl tā rīcinus stāda, pie kā tu neesi ne strādājis ne to audzinājis, kas vienā naktī cēlies un vienā naktī nozudis.
11 And should not I have regard for Nineveh, that great city, in which are more than one hundred and twenty thousand men who cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand, and also much cattle?
Un Man nebija žēlot to lielo pilsētu Ninivi, kur iekšā daudz vairāk nekā simts un divdesmit tūkstoši cilvēku, kas nezin izšķirt labo no kreisās rokas, un daudz lopu?
