Jonah 4
1 But this seemed very wrong to Jonah, and he was angry.
A Joni bi vrlo nedrago, i rasrdi se.
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.
I pomoli se Gospodu i reèe: Gospode! ne rekoh li to kad još bijah u svojoj zemlji? zato šæah prije pobjeæi u Tarsis; jer znah da si ti Bog milostiv i žalostiv, spor na gnjev i obilan milosrðem, i kaješ se oda zla.
3 So now, O Lord, give ear to my prayer and take my life from me; for death is better for me than life.
Sada Gospode, uzmi dušu moju od mene, jer mi je bolje umrijeti nego živjeti.
4 And the Lord said, Have you any right to be angry?
A Gospod reèe: je li dobro što se srdiš?
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.
I Jona izide iz grada, i sjede s istoka gradu, i naèini ondje kolibu, i sjeðaše pod njom u hladu da vidi što æe biti od grada.
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.
A Gospod Bog zapovjedi, te uzraste tikva nad Jonom da mu bude sjen nad glavom da mu pomože u muci njegovoj; i Jona se obradova tikvi veoma.
7 But early on the morning after, God made ready a worm for the destruction of the vine, and it became dry and dead.
Potom zapovjedi Bog, te doðe crv u zoru sjutradan, i podgrize tikvu, te usahnu.
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.
I kad ogranu sunce, posla Bog suh istoèni vjetar; i sunce stade žeæi Jonu po glavi tako da obamiraše i poželje da umre govoreæi: bolje mi je umrijeti nego živjeti.
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.
A Bog reèe Joni: je li dobro što se srdiš tikve radi? A on reèe: dobro je što se srdim do smrti.
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;
A Gospod mu reèe: tebi je žao tikve, oko koje se nijesi trudio, i koje nijesi odgajio, nego jednu noæ uzraste a drugu noæ propade.
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?
A meni da ne bude žao Ninevije, velikoga grada, u kom ima više od sto i dvadeset tisuæa ljudi koji još ne znaju šta je desno šta li lijevo, i mnogo stoke?
