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

¹Ahihhangin, huaiin Jona a lunghi sak het keia, a heh hi.

²And he prayed unto Jehovah, and said, I pray thee, O Jehovah, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I hasted to flee unto Tarshish; for I knew that thou art a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness, and repentest thee of the evil.

²TOUPA kiang aha thuma, AW TOUPA, ka honngen hi, hiai ka gam ua ka om laia ka gen hi lou hia? Hiai jiakin Tarsis lamah ka tai mang paha: hehepih thei Pathian, lainatnaa dim, heh mengmenglou, chitna hau, thil hoih lou lehngatsan sek nahi chih ka thei hi.

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

³Huaijiakin, AW TOUPA, tuin ka hinna honlaksak dingin ka honngen hi; kei dingin hin sang in sih a hoih zo ngala, a chi a.

⁴And Jehovah said, Doest thou well to be angry?

⁴Huan, TOUPAN, N aheh maawk na hih dik hia? a chi a.

⁵Then 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 shade, till he might see what would become of the city.

⁵Huchiin, Jona bel khopi akipan a pai khiaa, khopi suahlam pangah a tua, huaiah sawlbuk a lama, khopi tung a thil hongtung ding muh tumin a nuai limah a tu nilouh hi.

⁶And Jehovah God prepared a gourd, and made it to come up over Jonah, that it might be a shade over his head, to deliver him from his evil case. So Jonah was exceeding glad because of the gourd.

⁶Huan, TOUPA Pathianin umgui a nasep khawla, huai tuh Jona tungah a jamsaka, a haksatna akipan honkhe dinga a lu liah dingin. Huchiin Jona umgui jiakin a kipak mahmah hi.

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

⁷Ahihhangin Pathianin, a jingsang phalvakin, leikha a nasep khawla, huaiin umgui a seuha, a hongvuaita hi.

⁸And it came to pass, when the sun arose, that God prepared a sultry east wind; and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah, that he fainted, and requested for himself that he might die, and said, It is better for me to die than to live.

⁸Huan, hichi ahia, ni a hongsuahin pathianin suahlam huih a na sep khawla; huan, niin Jona lu a haia, a sibupa, amaha din sih a ngena, Kei dingin hin sangin sih a hoihjaw, a chi a.

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.

⁹Huan, pathianin Jona kiangah, umgui tungtang thuah na heh mawk na hih dik hia? achia. Aman, Sih loh hialaka heh, ka hih dik ahi, a chi a.

¹⁰And Jehovah said, Thou hast had regard for the gourd, for which thou hast not labored, neither madest it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night:

¹⁰Huan, TOUPAN, Na gimpih louh, na khansak leng hi sam lou, jan khat tha a hongoma, jan khat thua mang nawn umgui na hehpihaNinevi khua, khopi thupi tak, a sunga mi nuai khat leh sing nih sanga tam, a taklam uleh a veilam uleng khen tuan theilou te leh ganhon tampi omna, ka hehpih kei dia hia? a chi a.

¹¹and should not I have regard for 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?

¹¹Ninevi khua, khopi thupi tak, a sunga mi nuai khat leh sing nih sanga tam, a taklam uleh a veilam uleng khen tuan theilou te leh ganhon tampi omna, ka hehpih kei dia hia? a chi a.
