Nagalit si Jonas Dahil sa Pagkahabag ng Panginoon
4 Sumama ang loob ni Jonas dahil sa pagpapatawad ng Panginoon sa Nineve, at galit na galit siya. 2 Sinabi niya sa Panginoon nang siya ay manalangin, “O Panginoon, talagang hindi ako nagkamali nang sabihin ko noong naroon pa ako sa aming lugar na kaaawaan mo ang mga taga-Nineve kung magsisisi sila, dahil alam ko na mahabagin kang Dios at mapagmalasakit. Mapagmahal ka at hindi madaling magalit. At handa kang magbago ng isip na hindi na magpadala ng parusa. Iyan ang dahilan kung bakit tumakas ako papuntang Tarshish. 3 Kaya Panginoon, kunin mo na lang ako, dahil mas mabuti pang mamatay ako kaysa mabuhay.” 4 Sumagot ang Panginoon, “May karapatan ka bang magalit sa ginawa ko sa Nineve?”
5 Lumabas si Jonas sa lungsod at umupo sa gawing silangan nito. Gumawa siya ng masisilungan at sumilong doon habang hinihintay kung ano ang mangyayari sa lungsod. 6 Pero naiinitan pa rin si Jonas, kaya pinatubo ng Panginoong Dios ang isang malagong halaman na lampas tao upang maliliman siya. At labis namang ikinagalak iyon ni Jonas. 7 Pero kinabukasan nang maaga pa, ipinakain ng Dios sa uod ang halamang iyon at nalanta ito.
8 Pagsikat ng araw, pinaihip ng Dios ang mainit na hangin mula sa silangan. Halos mahimatay si Jonas nang masikatan ng araw ang ulo niya. Nais niyang mamatay na lang, kaya sinabi niya, “Mas mabuti pang mamatay ako kaysa mabuhay.” 9 Sinabi ng Dios sa kanya, “May karapatan ka bang magalit dahil sa nangyari sa halaman?” Sumagot siya, “Oo, mayroon akong karapatang magalit, kaya mas mabuti pang mamatay na lang ako.” 10 Sinabi sa kanya ng Panginoon, “Nanghinayang ka nga sa halamang iyon na tumubo sa loob lamang ng isang gabi at nalanta rin agad sa loob din ng isang gabi, kahit na hindi ikaw ang nagtanim o nagpatubo. 11 Ako pa kaya ang hindi manghinayang sa malaking lungsod ng Nineve na may mahigit 120,000 tao na walang alam tungkol sa aking mga kautusan[a] at marami ring mga hayop?”

4 Nguni't naghinanakit na mainam si Jonas, at siya'y nagalit.
2 At siya'y nanalangin sa Panginoon, at nagsabi, Ako'y nakikipanayam sa iyo, Oh Panginoon, di baga ito ang aking sinabi, nang ako'y nasa aking lupain pa? Kaya't ako'y nagmadaling tumakas na patungo sa Tarsis; sapagka't talastas ko na ikaw ay Dios na mapagbiyaya, at puspos ng kahabagan, banayad sa pagkagalit, at sagana sa kagandahang-loob, at nagsisisi ka sa kasamaan.
3 Kaya nga, Oh Panginoon, isinasamo ko sa iyo, na kitlin mo ang aking buhay; sapagka't mabuti sa akin ang mamatay kay sa mabuhay.
4 At sinabi ng Panginoon, Mabuti baga ang iyong ginagawa na magalit?
5 Nang magkagayo'y lumabas si Jonas sa bayan, at naupo sa dakong silanganan ng bayan, at doo'y gumawa siya ng isang balag, at naupo siya sa ilalim niyaon sa lilim, hanggang sa kaniyang makita kung ano ang mangyayari sa bayan.
6 At naghanda ang Panginoong Dios ng isang halamang kikayon, at pinataas sa itaas ni Jonas, upang maging lilim sa kaniyang ulo, upang iligtas siya sa kaniyang masamang kalagayan. Sa gayo'y natuwang mainam si Jonas dahil sa kikayon.
7 Nguni't naghanda ang Dios ng isang uod nang magumaga nang kinabukasan at sinira ang halamang kikayon, na anopa't natuyo.
8 At nangyari, nang sumikat ang araw, na naghanda ang Dios ng mainit na hanging silanganan; at sinikatan ng araw ang ulo ni Jonas, na anopa't siya'y nanglupaypay, at hiniling niya tungkol sa kaniya na siya'y mamatay, at nagsasabi, Mabuti sa akin ang mamatay kay sa mabuhay.
9 At sinabi ng Dios kay Jonas, Mabuti baga ang ginagawa mo na magalit dahil sa kikayon? At kaniyang sinabi, Mabuti ang ginagawa ko na magalit hanggang sa kamatayan.
10 At sinabi ng Panginoon, Ikaw ay nanghinayang sa kikayon na hindi mo pinagpagalan o pinatubo man; na sumampa sa isang gabi, at nawala sa isang gabi:
11 At hindi baga ako manghihinayang sa Ninive, sa malaking bayang yaon, na mahigit sa isang daan at dalawang pung libong katao na hindi marunong magmunimuni ng kanilang kamay at ng kanilang kaliwang kamay; at marami ring hayop?

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?
