Jonah 4
1 But this seemed very wrong to Jonah, and he was angry.
Apan kini daw sayop kaayo alang kang Jonas, ug nasuko siya pag-ayo.
2 And he made prayer to the Lord and said, O Lord, is this not what I said when I was still in my country? This is why I took care to go in flight to Tarshish: for I was certain that you were a loving God, full of pity, slow to be angry and great in mercy, and ready to be turned from your purpose of evil.
Busa nag-ampo si Jonas kang Yahweh ug miingon, “Ah, Yahweh, dili ba mao man kini ang akong gisulti sa dihang atua pa ako sa akong kaugalingong nasod? Mao nga ang una kong gihimo misulay ako pag-ikyas padulong sa Tarsis— tungod kay nasayod ako nga ikaw ang Dios nga maluluy-on, adunay kahangawa, dugay masuko, madagayaon sa pagkamatinud-anon, ug dili ka dali nga mopadala ug katalagman.
3 So now, O Lord, give ear to my prayer and take my life from me; for death is better for me than life.
Busa karon, Yahweh, nagahangyo ako kanimo, kuhaa ang akong kinabuhi gikan kanako, kay mas maayo pa alang kanako ang mamatay kaysa ang mabuhi.”
4 And the Lord said, Have you any right to be angry?
Miingon si Yahweh, “Maayo ba nga masuko ka pag-ayo?”
5 Then Jonah went out of the town, and took his seat on the east side of the town and made himself a roof of branches and took his seat under its shade till he saw what would become of the town.
Unya si Jonas migawas sa siyudad ug milingkod sa sidlakang bahin sa siyudad. Didto nagbuhat siya ug kapasilungan ug milingkod sa ilalom niini nga landong aron makita niya kung unsa ang dangatan sa siyudad.
6 And the Lord God made a vine come up over Jonah to give him shade over his head. And Jonah was very glad because of the vine.
Nag-andam ang Dios nga si Yahweh ug usa ka tanom ug gipatubo kini alang kang Jonas aron malandongan ang iyang ulo ug mahupay ang iyang kasuko. Nalipay pag-ayo si Jonas tungod sa tanom.
7 But early on the morning after, God made ready a worm for the destruction of the vine, and it became dry and dead.
Apan nag-andam ang Dios ug ulod sa pagsubang sa adlaw pagkasunod buntag. Giatake niini ang tanom ug nalawos ang tanom.
8 Then when the sun came up, God sent a burning east wind: and so great was the heat of the sun on his head that Jonah was overcome, and, requesting death for himself, said, Death is better for me than life.
Nahitabo kini sa dihang taas na ang adlaw sa sunod nga kabuntagon, nag-andam ang Dios ug init nga hangin gikan sa sidlakan. Usab, ang adlaw miinit pag-ayo sa ulo ni Jonas ug naluya siya. Unya nangandoy si Jonas nga mamatay nalang siya. Miingon siya sa iyang kaugalingon, “Mas maayo pa alang kanako nga mamatay na lang kaysa mabuhi.”
9 And the Lord said to Jonah, Have you any right to be angry about the vine? And he said, I have a right to be truly angry.
Unya ang Dios miingon kang Jonas, “Maayo ba nga masuko ka pag-ayo mahitungod sa tanom?” Ug miingon si Jonas, “Mas maayo nga masuko ko, bisan pa ug mamatay.”
10 And the Lord said, You had pity on the vine, for which you did no work and for the growth of which you were not responsible; which came up in a night and came to an end in a night;
Si Yahweh miingon kang Jonas, “Aduna kay kahangawa alang sa tanom, nga dili ikaw ang naghago, ni imong gipaturok. Niturok kini sa gabii ug namatay sa pagkagabii.
11 And am I not to have mercy on Nineveh, that great town, in which there are more than a hundred and twenty thousand persons without the power of judging between right and left, as well as much cattle?
Busa alang kanako, kinahanglan ba nga dili ako mahangawa sa Nineve, kadtong bantogang siyudad, nga adunay daghan pa kaysa 120, 000 ka mga tawo nga wala masayod sa kalahian tali sa ilang tuong kamot ug sa ilang walang kamot, ug ang daghang mga mananap usab?”
