Jonah 4
1 But Jonah was very distressed [that God had not destroyed Nineveh]. He became very angry. [The people of Nineveh were non-Jews, and Jonah did not think that God should act mercifully toward anyone who was not a Jew].
Када сля бари бида ды якхэн Ионасти. Вов фартэ холявэлас.
2 He prayed to Yahweh, “O Yahweh, what you have done is what I thought that you would do, before I left home [RHQ]. That is why I [decided] immediately to run away, and go to Tarshish [city], because I knew that you, O God, act very kindly and compassionately [toward all people]. You do not quickly become angry with people who do evil things. You love people very much, and you change your mind about punishing [people who sin].
Вов ачиля тэ мангэпэ РАЕСТИ: — РАЕ! Мэ ж дэдуманём пала када, кала мэ инте слём пэстэ цэрэ. Колэсти мэ нашлём ды Таршыш. Мэ джянавас, со Ту, Дэвла, тирэх лачимо, Ту доруно, бут вряма на холявэх, Ту барвало камлимаґа тай на камэх тэ бичялэ бида.
3 [So] now, O Yahweh, [since you will not destroy Nineveh city as you said you would], allow me to die, because it would be better for me to die than to [continue to] live.”
Екхатар, РАЕ, лэ мури води. Манди фэдэр тэ мэрэ, сар тэ джювэ.
4 Yahweh replied, “(Why is it right for you to be angry [about my not destroying the city]?/It is not right for you to be angry [about my not destroying the city]!) [RHQ]”
РАЙ пхэнда: — Мишто када, со ту холявэх?
5 Jonah [did not reply]. He went out of the city to the east [side of it]. He made a small shelter in order that he could sit under it and be protected from the sun. He sat under the shelter and waited to see what would happen to the city.
Иона выджиля форостар тай бэшля, тев восточно риг форостэ, стирда пэсти котэ катуна рандендар тай бэшля тала ла, дэ шалин, соб тэ удыкхэ, со авэла фороґа.
6 Then Yahweh God caused a vine to grow up [immediately] to shade Jonah’s head from the sun and make him [feel] more comfortable. Jonah was very happy about [having] the vine [over his head].
РАЙ Дэвэл прыпхэнда рандяти, и рандь подлиляпэ понад шэро Ионасти, соб вов тэ авэл ды шалин, тэ авэл лэсти мишто. Иона сля фартэ лошало.
7 But before dawn the next day, God sent a worm that chewed the vine, with the result that the vine withered.
Тала дэнзор Дэвэл бичялда термэ тэ подха кодыя рандь, тай вой зашутиля.
8 Then, when the sun rose [high in the sky], God sent a very hot wind from the east, and the sun shone very strongly on Jonah’s head, with the result that he felt faint. He wanted to die, and he said, “It would be better for me to die than to [continue to] live!”
Кала вщиля кхам, Дэвэл бичялда зорало, пхабардо балвал, тай кхам ачиля тэ пхабарэ шэро Ионасти, кади со лэсти ачиля бибахт. Вов мангля мэримо тай пхэнэлас: — Манди фэдэр тэ мэрэ, сар тэ джювэ.
9 But God asked Jonah, “Is it right for you to be angry about [what happened to] the vine?” Jonah replied, “[Yes], it is right! [Now] I am very angry and I want to die!”
Дэвэл пхэнда Ионасти: — Мишто када, со ту холявэх пала кадыя рандь? Вов пхэнда: — Мишто! На кацик тэ холявэ, нэ и тэ мэрэ.
10 But Yahweh said [to him], “You have been concerned about my [causing] that vine [to wither], even though you did not take care of it, and you did not make it grow. It just grew up during one night, and it completely withered [at the end of] the next night.
Тунчи РАЙ пхэнда: — Тути дор кадыя рандь, пала савля ту на пхирэґас тай на тирдан бути. Ды екх рят рандь выбариля, тай ды екх рят вой хасиля.
11 But there are more than 120,000 people in Nineveh who [are very young, and because of that], they cannot tell which is their right hand and which is their left hand, and there are also many cattle, [and none of these have done anything to displease me]. So (is it not right for me to be concerned about the people of that huge city, [and not want to destroy them]?/it is certainly right for me to be concerned about the people of that huge city [and not want to destroy them]!) [RHQ]”
Манди ли на дор Ниневия, баро форо, ды саво фартэ бут хулаимо тай будэр тев шэл биш пхангля манушэн, савэ на джянэн, со мищимо, а со врытимо?
