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

¹To sa náramne neľúbilo Jonášovi a zapálil sa hnevom.

²And 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.

²Modlil sa Hospodinovi a povedal: Prosím, ó, Hospodine, či nie je toto to, čo som hovoril, dokiaľ som ešte bol na svojej zemi? Preto som sa aj ponáhľal, aby som prv utiekol do Taršíša, lebo som vedel, že si ty silný Bôh milosrdný a ľútostivý, dlho zhovievajúci a veľký čo do milosti a ktorý ľutuješ zlého.

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

³A tak teraz, ó, Hospodine, vezmi, prosím, odo mňa moju dušu, lebo mi je lepšie zomrieť ako žiť.

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

⁴Na to riekol Hospodin: Či je to dobré, že si sa rozpálil hnevom?

⁵So 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.

⁵A Jonáš vyšiel z mesta, sadol si na mieste od východu mesta, spravil si tam búdu a sadol si do nej, do tône, dokiaľ by neuvidel, čo bude s mestom.

⁶And 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.

⁶A Hospodin Bôh nastrojil kikájon, ktorý vyrástol nad Jonáša, aby bola tôňa nad jeho hlavou, aby ho vytrhol z jeho zlého. A Jonáš sa radoval kikájonu veľkou radosťou.

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

⁷Ale Bôh nastrojil červa, keď na druhý deň ráno vychádzala zora, ktorý ranil kikájon, takže vyschol.

⁸And 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.

⁸A stalo sa, keď vyšlo slnce, že Bôh nastrojil východný vietor horúci, a slnce bilo na hlavu Jonášovu tak, že omdlieval a žiadal si zomrieť a povedal: Lepšie mi je zomrieť ako žiť.

⁹And 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.

⁹A Bôh riekol Jonášovi: Či je to dobré, že si sa rozpálil hnevom pre ten kikájon? A povedal: Dobré je, že som sa rozpálil hnevom, až na smrť.

¹⁰Then 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:

¹⁰Na to riekol Hospodin: Ty ľutuješ kikájon, ktorým si sa netrudil ani si ho nepestoval, ktorý vyrástol za jednu noc a za jednu noc i zhynul.

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

¹¹A ja by som nemal ľutovať Ninive, to veľké mesto, v ktorom je viac ako sto dvadsať tisíc ľudí, ktorí nevedia rozdielu medzi svojou pravicou a svojou ľavicou, a hoviad mnoho?
