Iona 4
1 A HE mea hewa nui ia ia Iona, a huhu iho la ia.
But Jonas was very deeply grieved, and he was confounded.
2 A pule aku la no ia ia Iehova, i aku la, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e Iehova, aole anei keia kuu olelo, i kuu noho ana ma ko'u aina? Nolaila i holo aku ai au mamua i Taresisa: no ka mea, ua ike no au he Akua ahonui oe, a me ke aloha, e hakalia ana i ka huhu, a he lokomaikai nui, a me ka haalele i ka manao hoopai.
And he prayed to the Lord, and said, O Lord, were not these my words when I was yet in my land? therefore I made haste to flee to Tharsis; because I knew that thou are merciful and compassionate, long-suffering, and abundant in kindness, and repentest of evil.
3 Ano hoi, e Iehova, ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e lawe oe i kuu ola mai o'u aku la; no ka mea, ua oi ka maikai o kuu make mamua o ke ola.
And now, Lord God, take my life from me; for [it is] better for me to die than to live.
4 A olelo mai o Iehova, He pono anei nou ka huhu?
And the Lord said to Jonas, Art thou very much grieved?
5 A hele aku la o Iona iwaho o ke kulanakauhale, a noho iho la ma ka hikina o ke kulanakauhale, a hana iho la ilaila i wahi lanai nona, a noho iho la malalo o kona malu, i ike aku ia i ka mea e hanaia ma ke kulanakauhale.
And Jonas went out from the city, and sat over against the city; and he made for himself there a booth, and he sat under it, until he should perceive what would become of the city.
6 A hoomakaukau o Iehova ke Akua i laau aila, a hooulu ae la ia mea maluna o Iona, i lilo ia i wahi malumalu o kona poo, e hoopakele ia ia mai kona mea kaumaha. A olioli nui o Iona i ka laau aila.
And the Lord God commanded a gourd, and it came up over the head of Jonas, to be a shadow over his head, to shade him from his calamities: and Jonas rejoiced with great joy for the gourd.
7 A hoomakaukau ke Akua i wahi enuhe i ka wanaao i ka la apopo, a ai iho la ia i ka laau aila, a mae iho la ia.
And God commanded a worm the next morning, and it smote the gourd, and it withered away.
8 A i ka wa i puka mai ai ka la, hoomakaukau ke Akua i makani hikina wela: a kau ka la maluna o ke poo o Iona, a maule iho la ia, a manao iho la iloko ona e make, a i iho la, ua oi ka maikai o kuu make mamua o ke ola.
And it came to pass at the rising of the sun, that God commanded a burning east wind; and the sun smote on the head of Jonas, and he fainted, and despaired of his life, and said, [It is] better for me to die than to live.
9 A olelo mai la ke Akua ia Iona, He pono anei kou huhu no ka laau aila? A i aku la ia, He pono ko'u huhu a i ka make.
And God said to Jonas, Art thou very much grieved for the gourd? And he said, I am very much grieved, even to death.
10 A olelo mai o Iehova, Ua minamina anei oe i ka laau aila, ka mea aole oe i luhi, aole hoi oe i hooulu: kupu mai no ia i ka po hookahi, a make iho la i ka po hookahi:
And the Lord said, Thou hadst pity on the gourd, for which thou has not suffered, neither didst thou rear it; which came up before night, and perished before [another] night:
11 Aole anei he pono ko'u mina mina ana ia Nineva, ke kulanakauhale nui, iloko ona he lehulehu, hookahi haneri a me ka iwakalua na tausani a keu aku, ka poe ike ole iwaena o ka lima akau a me ka lima hema; a ua nui loa hoi na holoholona?
and shall not I spare Nineve, the great city, in which dwell more than twelve myriads of human beings, who do not know their right hand or their left hand; and [also] much cattle?
