¹To sa náramne neľúbilo Jonášovi a zapálil sa hnevom.

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

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.

²He prayed to Yahweh, and said, “Please, Yahweh, wasn’t this what I said when I was still in my own country? Therefore I hurried to flee to Tarshish, for I knew that you are a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, and you relent of doing harm.

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

³Therefore now, Yahweh, take, I beg you, my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live.”

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

⁴Yahweh said, “Is it right for you to be angry?”

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.

⁵Then Jonah went out of the city, and sat on the east side of the city, and there made himself a booth, and sat under it in the shade, until he might see what would become of the city.

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.

⁶Yahweh God prepared a vine, and made it to come up over Jonah, that it might be a shade over his head, to deliver him from his discomfort. So Jonah was exceedingly glad because of the vine.

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

⁷But God prepared a worm at dawn the next day, and it chewed on the vine, so that it withered.

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.

⁸It happened, when the sun arose, that God prepared a sultry east wind; and the sun beat on Jonah’s head, so that he fainted, and requested for himself that he might die, and said, “It is better for me to die than to live.”

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.

⁹God said to Jonah, “Is it right for you to be angry about the vine?” He said, “I am right to be angry, even to death.”

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.

¹⁰Yahweh said, “You have been concerned for the vine, for which you have not labored, neither made it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night.

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?

¹¹Shouldn’t I be concerned for Nineveh, that great city, in which are more than one hundred twenty thousand persons who can’t discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much livestock?”
