Jonah 4 - Listen Online

¹ ṢUGBỌN o bà Jona ninu jẹ́ gidigidi, o si binu pupọ̀.

¹ But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry.

² O si gbadura si Oluwa, o si wipe, Emi bẹ ọ, Oluwa, ọ̀rọ mi kọ yi nigbati mo wà ni ilẹ mi? nitorina ni mo ṣe salọ si Tarṣiṣi ni iṣaju: nitori emi mọ̀ pe, Ọlọrun olore-ọfẹ ni iwọ, ati alãnu, o lọra lati binu, o si ṣeun pupọ, o si ronupiwada ibi na.

² And he prayed unto the LORD, and said, I pray thee, O LORD, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I fled before unto Tarshish: for I knew that thou art a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repentest thee of the evil.

³ Njẹ nitorina, Oluwa, emi bẹ ọ, gbà ẹmi mi kuro lọwọ mi nitori o sàn fun mi lati kú jù ati wà lãyè.

³ Therefore now, O LORD, take, I beseech thee, my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live.

⁴ Nigbana ni Oluwa wipe, Iwọ ha ṣe rere lati binu?

⁴ Then said the LORD, Doest thou well to be angry?

⁵ Jona si jade kuro ni ilu na, o si joko niha ila-õrun ilu na, o si pa agọ kan nibẹ fun ara rẹ̀, o si joko ni iboji labẹ rẹ̀, titi yio fi ri ohun ti yio ṣe ilu na.

⁵ So Jonah went out of the city, and sat on the east side of the city, and there made him a booth, and sat under it in the shadow, till he might see what would become of the city.

⁶ Oluwa Ọlọrun si pese itakùn kan, o si ṣe e ki o goke wá sori Jona; ki o le ṣiji bò o lori; lati gbà a kuro ninu ibinujẹ rẹ̀. Jona si yọ ayọ̀ nla nitori itakùn na.

⁶ And the LORD God prepared a gourd, and made it to come up over Jonah, that it might be a shadow over his head, to deliver him from his grief. So Jonah was exceeding glad of the gourd.

⁷ Ṣugbọn Ọlọrun pese kokorò kan nigbati ilẹ mọ́ ni ijọ keji, o si jẹ itakùn na, o si rọ.

⁷ But God prepared a worm when the morning rose the next day, and it smote the gourd that it withered.

⁸ O si ṣe, nigbati õrun là, Ọlọrun si pese ẹfufu gbigbona ti ila-õrùn; õrùn si pa Jona lori, tobẹ̃ ti o rẹ̀ ẹ, o si fẹ́ ninu ara rẹ̀ lati kú, o si wipe, O sàn fun mi lati kú jù ati wà lãyè lọ.

⁸ And it came to pass, when the sun did arise, that God prepared a vehement east wind; and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah, that he fainted, and wished in himself to die, and said, It is better for me to die than to live.

⁹ Ọlọrun si wi fun Jona pe, O ha tọ́ fun ọ lati binu nitori itakùn na? on si wipe, O tọ́ fun mi lati binu titi de ikú.

⁹ And God said to Jonah, Doest thou well to be angry for the gourd? And he said, I do well to be angry, even unto death.

¹⁰ Nigbana ni Oluwa wipe, Iwọ kẹdùn itakùn na nitori eyiti iwọ kò ṣiṣẹ, bẹ̃li iwọ kò mu u dagbà; ti o hù jade li oru kan ti o si kú li oru kan.

¹⁰ Then said the LORD, Thou hast had pity on the gourd, for the which thou hast not laboured, neither madest it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night:

¹¹ Ki emi ki o má si da Ninefe si, ilu nla nì, ninu eyiti jù ọ̀kẹ-mẹfa enia wà ti kò le mọ̀ ọtun mọ̀ osì ninu ọwọ́ wọn, ati ọ̀pọlọpọ ohun-ọsìn?

¹¹ And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much cattle?
