Jonah 44JonahJonah's anger and God's compassionWorld Chinese Bible

World Chinese BibleBerean Standard Bible

1. 1CMNSWCB这事使约拿大大不悦，他就发怒。BSBBSB: Jonah, however, was greatly displeased, and he became angry.
2. 2CMNSWCB他向耶和华祷告，说：“耶和华啊，求你听我说，我还在本国的时候，岂不是已经说过这话吗？所以我急忙逃往他施，因为我知道你是有恩典、有怜悯的上帝，不轻易发怒，并且有丰盛的慈爱，也会转意不降灾。BSBBSB: 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.
3. 3CMNSWCB耶和华啊，现在求你取走我的性命吧，因为我死了比活着还好。”BSBBSB: And now, O LORD, please take my life from me, for it is better for me to die than to live.”
4. 4CMNSWCB耶和华说：“你这样发怒合宜吗？”BSBBSB: But the LORD replied, “Have you any right to be angry?”
5. 5CMNSWCB于是约拿出城，坐在城的东边，在那里为自己搭了一座棚，坐在棚荫下，要看看那城将会怎样。BSBBSB: 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. 6CMNSWCB耶和华上帝安排一棵藤蔓，使它长起来遮盖约拿，好在他头上作荫影，救他脱离痛苦。约拿因这棵藤蔓而非常欢喜。BSBBSB: 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. 7CMNSWCB但第二天黎明，上帝安排一条虫子咬那棵藤蔓，藤蔓就枯萎了。BSBBSB: When dawn came the next day, God appointed a worm that attacked the plant so that it withered.
8. 8CMNSWCB太阳出来的时候，上帝安排炎热的东风；太阳晒在约拿头上，使他昏弱，他就为自己求死，说：“我死了比活着还好。”BSBBSB: 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. 9CMNSWCB上帝对约拿说：“你为这棵藤蔓发怒合宜吗？” 他说：“我发怒以至于死，也是合宜的。”BSBBSB: 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. 10CMNSWCB耶和华说：“这棵藤蔓不是你劳力栽种的，也不是你使它长大的；它一夜长成，又一夜灭亡，你尚且顾惜它。BSBBSB: 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. 11CMNSWCB尼尼微这座大城，其中有十二万多人不能分辨左右手，还有许多牲畜，难道我不该顾惜吗？”BSBBSB: 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?”
