Nagalit si Jonas Dahil sa Pagkahabag ng Diyos
4 Ngunit dahil dito, nalungkot si Jonas at siya'y nagalit sapagkat hindi niya nagustuhan ang pagpapatawad ng Diyos sa Nineve. 2 Kaya't(A) siya'y nanalangin, “O Yahweh, hindi ba bago pa ako magpunta rito ay sinabi kong ganito nga ang gagawin ninyo? At ito ang dahilan kaya ako tumakas patungong Tarsis! Alam kong kayo ay Diyos na mahabagin at mapagmahal, hindi madaling magalit at wagas ang pag-ibig. Alam kong lagi kayong handang magpatawad. 3 Mabuti(B) pang mamatay na lang ako, Yahweh. Mas gugustuhin ko pang mamatay kaysa mabuhay.”
4 Sumagot si Yahweh, “Anong ikinagagalit mo, Jonas?” 5 Pagkasabi nito, lumakad si Jonas papunta sa silangan ng lunsod at naupo. Gumawa siya ng isang silungan at doon hinintay kung ano ang mangyayari sa lunsod. 6 Pinatubo ng Diyos na si Yahweh sa may tabi ni Jonas ang isang malagong halaman na nagbibigay ng lilim sa kanya. Labis naman itong ikinagalak ni Jonas. 7 Ngunit kinabukasan, ang halaman ay ipinasira ng Diyos sa isang uod at ito'y natuyo. 8 Sumikat nang matindi ang araw at umihip ang nakakapasong hangin; halos mahilo si Jonas sa tindi ng init. Kaya sinabi niya, “Mabuti pang mamatay na ako.”
9 Sinabi sa kanya ng Diyos, “Dapat ka bang magalit dahil sa nangyari sa halaman?”
Sumagot siya, “Opo, nagagalit po ako. Gusto ko nang mamatay.”
10 Sinabi ni Yahweh, “Tumubo ang halamang iyon, lumago sa loob ng magdamag, at namatay kinabukasan. Wala kang hirap diyan ngunit nalungkot ka nang iyan ay mamatay. 11 Ako pa kaya ang hindi malulungkot sa kalagayan ng Nineve? Ito'y isang malaking lunsod na tinitirhan ng mahigit na 120,000 taong hindi alam kung ano ang mabuti o ang masama, bukod pa sa maraming kawan!”

約拿不悅
4 約拿對這事非常不高興，並且發起怒來， 2 就向耶和華禱告，說：“耶和華啊！我還在本國的時候，不是這樣說過嗎？我知道你是有恩典有憐憫的 神，不輕易發怒，並且有豐盛的慈愛，轉意不降災禍，所以我才急忙逃往他施去。 3 耶和華啊！現在求你取去我的性命吧，因為我死了比活著還好。”
神安排一棵蓖麻
4 耶和華回答說：“你這樣發怒對不對呢？”
5 約拿出了城，在城東坐下；他在那裡搭了一座棚，坐在棚蔭之下，要看看那城究竟怎樣。 6 耶和華 神安排一棵蓖麻，使它長起來高過約拿，成了陰影遮蓋他的頭，免他受苦；約拿因這棵蓖麻，就大大歡暢。 7 次日黎明的時候， 神安排一條蟲子，蛀蝕這棵蓖麻，蓖麻就枯槁了。 8 日出的時候， 神又安排炎熱的東風。烈日曬在約拿的頭上，以致發昏，他就為自己求死，說：“我死了比活著還好。”
9 神問約拿：“你因這棵蓖麻這樣發怒，對不對呢？”約拿說：“我發怒以至於死都是對的。”
神教訓約拿
10 耶和華說：“這棵蓖麻，不是你栽種的，也不是你使它長大的，一夜長成，一夜死去，你尚且愛惜它， 11 何況這尼尼微大城，其中不曉得分辨左右手的有十二萬多人，並且有許多牲畜，我怎能不愛惜呢？”

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?”

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?
