Jonah 4

KING JAMES BIBLENOVA VULGATA
1 But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry.1 Et afflictus est Ionas afflictione magna et iratus est;
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.2 etoravit ad Dominum et dixit: “ Obsecro, Domine, numquid non hoc est verbummeum, cum adhuc essem in terra mea? Propter hoc praeoccupavi ut fugerem inTharsis. Sciebam enim quia tu Deus clemens et misericors es, longanimis etmultae miserationis et ignoscens super malitia.
3 Therefore now, O LORD, take, I beseech thee, my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live.3 Et nunc, Domine, tolle,quaeso, animam meam a me, quia melior est mihi mors quam vita”.
4 Then said the LORD, Doest thou well to be angry?4 Et dixitDominus: “ Putasne bene irasceris tu? ”.
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.5 Et egressus est Ionas de civitate et sedit contra orientem civitatis et fecitsibimet umbraculum ibi et sedebat subter illud in umbra, donec videret quidaccideret in civitate.
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.6 Et praeparavit Dominus Deus hederam, et ascendit superIonam, ut esset umbra super caput eius et protegeret eum ab afflictione sua. Etlaetatus est Ionas super hedera laetitia magna.
7 But God prepared a worm when the morning rose the next day, and it smote the gourd that it withered.7 Et paravit Deus vermem, cum surgeret aurora in crastinum, et percussithederam, quae exaruit.
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.8 Et, cum ortus fuisset sol, praecepit Deus ventoorientali calido; et percussit sol super caput Ionae, et elanguit; et petivitanimae suae, ut moreretur, et dixit: “ Melius est mihi mori quam vivere ”
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.9 Et dixit Deus ad Ionam: “ Putasne bene irasceris tu super hedera? ”. Etdixit: “ Bene irascor ego usque ad mortem ”.
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:10 Et dixit Dominus: “ Tudoles super hederam, in qua non laborasti neque fecisti, ut cresceret, quae subuna nocte nata est et sub una nocte periit.
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?11 Et ego non parcam Nineve civitatimagnae, in qua sunt plus quam centum viginti milia hominum, qui nesciunt quidsit inter dexteram et sinistram suam, et iumenta multa? ”.
