ASG
Ili i nampa ya i la̱nga̱sa̱ ta̱ Yunana ka̱ɗu ka̱u ali ɗa u yaꞋin wupa.
BSB
BSB:
Jonah, however, was greatly displeased, and he became angry.
2
ASG
Ɗa u yaꞋin kavasa a kubana u Vuzavaguɗu u danai, <<Vuzavaguɗu, ashe ili i nampa i ɗa n danai ali mpa biꞋi a kpaꞋa ba? Ali ɗa mi ishi n sumai a kubana Tarishi. N yeve ta̱ avu vuma ɗa vuza va asuvayali ka̱u n ka̱ɗu ka̱ yuwu, vu tsu suɗukpa ka̱ɗu ga̱ba̱ ba, vi ta̱ kpamu n ucigi u uma ka̱u. Vuzavaguɗu yayi u sa̱nka̱i nu vu kpa̱ɗa̱ kutakacika le?
BSB
BSB:
So he prayed to the LORD, saying, “O LORD, is this not what I said while I was still in my own country? This is why I was so quick to flee toward Tarshish. I knew that You are a gracious and compassionate God, slow to anger, abounding in loving devotion—One who relents from sending disaster.

ASG
Adama a nannai Vuzavaguɗu ɗika wuma u va, u laꞋa ta̱ n kugaꞋan n kuwa̱ a na mo yongo n wuma.>>
BSB
BSB:
And now, O LORD, please take my life from me, for it is better for me to die than to live.”
4
ASG
Ɗa Vuzavaguɗu u wu ushuki ni, <<U gaꞋan wu ta̱ avu a̱ ka̱ci ka̱ nu vi yaꞋan wupa?>>
BSB
BSB:
But the LORD replied, “Have you any right to be angry?”
5
ASG
Ɗa Yunana wu uta̱i punu a̱ likuci ya ɗa u banai u da̱sa̱ngi a uɓon u kasana ka̱ likuci ka, lo a ubuta̱ wa ɗa u yaꞋin lo kafalaka adama a na u ciya̱ kulu, ɗa u shamgbai adama a na we ene i na i kuciya̱ likuciya.
BSB
BSB:
Then Jonah left the city and sat down east of it, where he made himself a shelter and sat in its shade to see what would happen to the city.
6
ASG
Ɗa Vuzavaguɗu u zuwai ili i yoku tsu uyan yu uta̱ lo adama a na u neke Yunana kulu adama a na u pala yi a̱ ubuta̱ u kanna. A̱yi Yunana ɗa u yaꞋin ma̱za̱nga̱ ka̱u adama a ili i na yu uta̱i va.
BSB
BSB:
So the LORD God appointed a vine, and it grew up to provide shade over Jonah’s head to ease his discomfort, and Jonah was greatly pleased with the plant.
7
ASG
Ama kayin a kasa ɗa Ka̱shile ka zuwai azun a takuma uyan wa, adama a na u ɗa u lumba.
BSB
BSB:
When dawn came the next day, God appointed a worm that attacked the plant so that it withered.
8
ASG
Ana kanna ka suɗukpai ɗa Ka̱shile ka zuwai wunla̱i u gbangam wu uta̱i a kasana ɗa kanna ka lapai Yunana a kaci ka̱u ali adanshi wi ta̱ a̱ kulima̱. Ali ɗa u cigai u kuwa̱ ɗa u danai, <<Ili i nampa ya u laꞋa ta̱ n kugaꞋan n kuwa̱.>>
BSB
BSB:
As the sun was rising, God appointed a scorching east wind, and the sun beat down on Jonah’s head so that he grew faint and wished to die, saying, “It is better for me to die than to live.”
9
ASG
Ama ɗa Ka̱shile ka danai Yunana, <<Vi ta̱ n utsura u na vi yaꞋin wupa n uyaꞋan wa?>> ɗa Wu ushuki, <<Mayun derete ɗa, ali n yaꞋan wupa u na u yawai n kuwa̱.>>
BSB
BSB:
Then God asked Jonah, “Have you any right to be angry about the plant?” “I do,” he replied. “I am angry enough to die!”
10
ASG
Ɗa Vuzavaguɗu u danai ni, <<Derere ɗa avu vu panai asuvayali a ili i na avu ɗa vi ca̱Ꞌi ba? Avu ɗa kpamu vu zuwai i ɗa i gbonguroi ba? Ili i na yu uta̱i kayin ke te ɗa kpamu i kuwa̱i kafu kayi ke ire?>>
BSB
BSB:
But the LORD said, “You cared about the plant, which you neither tended nor made grow. It sprang up in a night and perished in a night.
11
ASG
Ashe mpa ma kufuɗa ma pana asuvayali a Niniva likuci i gbayin i nanlo ba? Likuci i na yi n uma ali a̱kpa̱n amangatawun n kamanga (120, 000) uma a na e yevei ugula̱ ko usingai u le ba? Ali nu nnama n na mi punu a̱ likuci ya?>>
BSB
BSB:
So should I not care about the great city of Nineveh, which has more than 120,000 people who cannot tell their right hand from their left, and many cattle as well?”
