Yonase yangalalaka ata fyoti na dyambu yina, mpe yandi dasukaka.
BSB
BSB:
Jonah, however, was greatly displeased, and he became angry.
2
MKW
Yandi sambilaka Yave mutindu yayi: «Aa, Mfumu, yayi ni mambu yina mu vwandaka tuba ntangu mu vwandaka ntete na yinsi ya munu. Ni yawu yina mu kwendaka mbangu na mbanza Talesise. Mu zabaka ti nge kele Nzambi ya bumbote mpe yina ke talaka bantu kyadi, yina ke dasukaka mbangu ve mpe ya kufuluka na luzolo. Nge ke sobaka mabanza ya nge ya kupesa kitumbu.
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.

MKW
Ntangu yayi, mu ke na kulomba na nge Yave ti mu kufwa ya munu, samu ti, na munu, kufwa me lutila mbote na kuzinga.»
BSB
BSB:
And now, O LORD, please take my life from me, for it is better for me to die than to live.”
4
MKW
Yave yufulaka yandi: «Nge ke na kutala ti ya kele mbote na kudasuka?»
BSB
BSB:
But the LORD replied, “Have you any right to be angry?”
5
MKW
Yonase basikaka na mbanza mpe kwendaka vwanda na lweka ya esete ya Ninive. Yandi salaka mwa muleba mpe vwandaka na kati, na yisi ya mpewo. Yandi vwandaka vingila na kutala yinki ke salama na kati ya mbanza yina.
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
MKW
Yave Nzambi menisaka mwa yinti yina lutilaka Yonase na yinda, mpe yina vwandaka pesa yandi mpewo samu na kukatula yandi nkele. Mwa yinti yina pesaka kilengi mingi na Yonase.
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
MKW
Kasi na kilumbu yina landaka na suka-suka, Nzambi fidisaka munsyobo mosi na kwenda kutatika yinti yina, mpe yawu yumaka.
BSB
BSB:
When dawn came the next day, God appointed a worm that attacked the plant so that it withered.
8
MKW
Na manima, ntangu basikaka. Nzambi fidisaka mupepe ya tiya yina katukaka na esete. Ntangu yamaka na yintu ya Yonase. Na yina, Yonase zolaka tabuka ngambu. Yandi sosaka lufwa na kutuba: «Na munu, kufwa me lutila mbote na kuzinga.»
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
MKW
Nzambi yufulaka yandi: «Nge ke na kutala ti ya kele mbote na kudasuka samu na mwa yinti yayi?» Yonase vutulaka: «Ee, ya kele mbote ti mu dasuka tii na kuzola lufwa.»
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
MKW
Na yina, Yave tubaka na yandi: «Nge ke na kutadila kyadi na mwa yinti yina nge me tadila ve mpasi, mpe nge me kulisa ve. Na mpimpa mosi yawu me kula, na mpimpa me landa yawu me yuma.
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
MKW
Mpe nge zola ve ti munu, mu tadila mbanza Ninive kyadi? Yawu kele mbanza ya nene, sika kele bantu kulutila nkama na makumi zole ya mafunda (120 000) yina zaba ve kuswasikisa mambu ya mbote samu na bawu. Yawu kele mpe mbanza yina kele na lutangu ya nene ya bibulu.»
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?”
