N30
Men det syntes Jonas meget ille om, og hans vrede optendtes.
BSB
BSB:
Jonah, however, was greatly displeased, and he became angry.
2
N30
Og han bad til Herren og sa: Å Herre! Var det ikke det jeg sa da jeg ennu var i mitt land? Derfor flydde jeg dengang til Tarsis; for jeg visste at du er en nådig og barmhjertig Gud, langmodig og rik på miskunnhet og angrer det onde.
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.
3
N30
Så ta nu, Herre, mitt liv! For jeg vil heller dø enn leve.
BSB
BSB:
And now, O LORD, please take my life from me, for it is better for me to die than to live.”
4
N30
Men Herren sa: Er det med rette din vrede er optendt?
BSB
BSB:
But the LORD replied, “Have you any right to be angry?”
5
N30
Jonas var gått ut av byen; han hadde satt sig østenfor byen, og der hadde han gjort sig en løvhytte og satt under den i skyggen for å se hvorledes det gikk med byen.
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
N30
Da lot Gud Herren et kikajontre vokse op over Jonas til å skygge over hans hode, så han kunde bli fri sitt mismot; og Jonas gledet sig høilig over kikajontreet.
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
N30
Men dagen efter, da morgenen brøt frem, lot Gud en orm komme, som stakk kikajontreet så det visnet.
BSB
BSB:
When dawn came the next day, God appointed a worm that attacked the plant so that it withered.
8
N30
Og da solen stod op, sendte Gud en lummer østenvind, og solen stakk Jonas' hode, så han vansmektet; da ønsket han sig døden og sa: Jeg vil heller dø enn leve.
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
N30
Men Gud sa til Jonas: Er det med rette din vrede er optendt for kikajontreets skyld? Han svarte: Ja, med rette er min vrede optendt inntil døden.
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
N30
Da sa Herren: Du ynkes over kikajontreet, som du ikke har hatt møie med og ikke opelsket, som blev til på en natt og forgikk på en natt;
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
N30
og jeg skulde ikke ynkes over Ninive, den store stad, hvor det er mere enn tolv ganger ti tusen mennesker som ikke kjenner forskjell mellem høire og venstre, og en mengde dyr!
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?”
