Jonah 4
1 But this seemed very wrong to Jonah, and he was angry.
ヨナこの事を甚だ惡しとして烈く怒り
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.
ヱホバに祈りて曰けるはヱホバよ我なほ本國にありし時斯あらんと曰しに非ずや さればこそ前にタルシシへ逃れたるなれ 其は我なんぢは矜恤ある神 憐憫あり 怒ること遲く慈悲深くして災禍を悔たまふものなりと知ばなり
3 So now, O Lord, give ear to my prayer and take my life from me; for death is better for me than life.
ヱホバよ願くは今わが命を取たまへ 其は生ることよりも死るかた我に善ればなり
4 And the Lord said, Have you any right to be angry?
ヱホバ曰たまひけるは汝の怒る事いかで宣しからんや
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.
ヨナは邑より出てその東の方に居り己が爲に其處に一の小屋をしつらひその蔭の下に坐して府の如何に成行くかを見る
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.
ヱホバ神 瓢を備へこれをして發生てヨナの上を覆はしめたり こはヨナの首の爲に庇蔭をまうけてその憂を慰めんが爲なりき ヨナはこの瓢の木によりて甚だ喜べり
7 But early on the morning after, God made ready a worm for the destruction of the vine, and it became dry and dead.
されど神あくる日の夜明に虫をそなへて其ひさごを噛せたまひければ瓢は枯たり
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.
かくて日の出し時神暑き東風を備へ給ひ又日ヨナの首を照しければ彼よわりて心の中に死ることを願ひて言ふ 生ることよりも死るかた我に善し
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.
神またヨナに曰ひたまひけるは瓢の爲に汝のいかる事いかで宣しからんや 彼曰けるはわれ怒りて死るともよろし
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;
ヱホバ曰たまひけるは汝は勞をくはへず生育ざる此の一夜に生じて一夜に亡びし瓢を惜めり
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?
まして十二萬餘の右左を辨へざる者と許多の家畜とあるこの大なる府ニネベをわれ惜まざらんや
