约拿书 4
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
4 这事令约拿十分不悦，非常恼怒。 2 他向耶和华祷告说：“耶和华啊，我在家乡的时候岂不早就说过你会这样做吗？我知道你是一位有恩典、有怜悯的上帝，不轻易发怒，充满慈爱，不忍心降灾，所以我才急速逃往他施。 3 耶和华啊，求你收回我的性命吧，我死了比活着还好！” 4 耶和华对他说：“你这样大发脾气合理吗？”
5 于是，约拿跑到城外，在城东为自己搭了一个棚，坐在棚下荫凉处，要看看尼尼微城究竟会怎样。 6 后来，耶和华上帝安排了一棵蓖麻迅速地长起来，为约拿遮荫，使他的头免受日晒。约拿因有这棵蓖麻而非常欢喜。 7 第二天黎明的时候，上帝却安排了一条虫来咬这棵蓖麻，蓖麻就枯萎了。 8 太阳出来的时候，上帝刮起燥热的东风，烈日把约拿晒得发昏，他就再次求死说：“我死了比活着还好！”
9 上帝对约拿说：“你为这棵蓖麻大发脾气合理吗？”约拿回答说：“我就是气死了也合理。” 10 耶和华说：“这棵蓖麻不是你种的，也不是你栽培的，它在一夜之间长成，又在一夜之间死去，你尚且如此爱惜， 11 我怎能不爱惜这尼尼微大城呢？城中单是连左右手都分不清的人就有十二万多，还有许多的牲畜。”

Jonas otålighet och Herrens svar
4 Men Jona tog mycket illa vid sig och blev arg. 2 (A) Han bad till Herren och sade: ”O Herre, var det inte det jag sade när jag var kvar i mitt land! Därför ville jag förekomma det och fly till Tarshish. Jag visste ju att du är en nådig och barmhärtig Gud, sen till vrede och stor i nåd och beredd att ångra det onda. 3 (B) Ta nu mitt liv, Herre, för jag vill hellre dö än leva.” 4 Men Herren sade: ”Har du rätt att vara arg?”
5 Jona gick ut ur staden och satte sig öster om den. Där gjorde han sig en hydda och satt i skuggan under den för att se hur det skulle gå med staden. 6 Och Herren Gud lät en ricinbuske[a] växa upp över Jona för att ge skugga åt hans huvud och befria honom från hans missmod. Jona var mycket glad över ricinbusken.
7 Men dagen därpå, när gryningen kom, sände Gud maskar som angrep ricinbusken så att den vissnade ner. 8 (C) När sedan solen gick upp sände Gud en brännande östanvind, och solen gassade på Jonas huvud så att han blev helt utmattad. Då önskade han sig döden och sade: ”Jag vill hellre dö än leva.”
9 Men Gud sade till Jona: ”Har du rätt att vara arg över ricinbusken?” Han svarade: ”Jag har rätt att vara så arg att jag kan dö.” 10 Då sade Herren: ”Du bryr dig om ricinbusken, som du inte har lagt någon möda på och inte har odlat, som kom till på en natt och försvann efter en natt. 11 (D) Skulle då inte jag bry mig om Nineve, den stora staden, där det finns mer än 120 000 människor som inte kan skilja mellan höger och vänster, och dessutom många djur?”

Jonah 4
King James Version
Jonah 4
King James Version
4 But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry.
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 Therefore now, O Lord, take, I beseech thee, my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live.
4 Then said the Lord, Doest thou well to be angry?
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 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 But God prepared a worm when the morning rose the next day, and it smote the gourd that it withered.
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 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 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 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?

Jonah’s Anger at the Lord’s Compassion
4 But to Jonah this seemed very wrong, and he became angry.(A) 2 He prayed to the Lord, “Isn’t this what I said, Lord, when I was still at home? That is what I tried to forestall by fleeing to Tarshish. I knew(B) that you are a gracious(C) and compassionate God, slow to anger and abounding in love,(D) a God who relents(E) from sending calamity.(F) 3 Now, Lord, take away my life,(G) for it is better for me to die(H) than to live.”(I)
4 But the Lord replied, “Is it right for you to be angry?”(J)
5 Jonah had gone out and sat down at a place east of the city. There he made himself a shelter, sat in its shade and waited to see what would happen to the city. 6 Then the Lord God provided(K) a leafy plant[a] and made it grow up over Jonah to give shade for his head to ease his discomfort, and Jonah was very happy about the plant. 7 But at dawn the next day God provided a worm, which chewed the plant so that it withered.(L) 8 When the sun rose, God provided a scorching east wind, and the sun blazed on Jonah’s head so that he grew faint. He wanted to die,(M) and said, “It would be better for me to die than to live.”
9 But God said to Jonah, “Is it right for you to be angry about the plant?”(N)
“It is,” he said. “And I’m so angry I wish I were dead.”
10 But the Lord said, “You have been concerned about this plant, though you did not tend it or make it grow. It sprang up overnight and died overnight. 11 And should I not have concern(O) for the great city of Nineveh,(P) in which there are more than a hundred and twenty thousand people who cannot tell their right hand from their left—and also many animals?”
