1. 1TAPInzi Yona taawaamiinue, waafiitilue.BSBBSB: Jonah, however, was greatly displeased, and he became angry.
2. 2TAPYona waamwanine Yawe nangue, “We Yawe, evi te i vinaalandile lunaali nakili mu kyalo kyane? Ni pakako, i kyaalengele kuti nenge n'mbutukile ku Tarsisi, pantu naamanine nangue wewe uli Leza wa buwame, ezuzi nkumbu, asiliwalenga kufiitua, wa kyonko, aliwaibwelamo mu kukanda bantu babi.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. 3TAPNi pakako, we Yawe, nakulomba ungipaye sie, pantu kyawama kuti nfue kukila kuba mukose.”BSBBSB: And now, O LORD, please take my life from me, for it is better for me to die than to live.”
4. 4TAPYawe waamwanine evi, “Teuli na nsambu ya kufiitua.”BSBBSB: But the LORD replied, “Have you any right to be angry?”
5. 5TAPKupwako, Yona wafuma mu muzi waya kwikala lya ku kabanga ka muzi, wakuula mutuule ni kwikala mu bulelo amone kilikukitika pa ozo muzi.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. 6TAPYawe Leza waameniizie musila ni ku-ukuzia kuti umuleetele Yona bulelo pa mutue wakue pakuti bumupususie ku bulanda bwakue. Yona waawamiinue sana na ozo musila.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. 7TAPInzi lukeele lwakue ku makia, Leza waatumine mufwinzi waafwinziizie musila, ni kuuma wauma.BSBBSB: When dawn came the next day, God appointed a worm that attacked the plant so that it withered.
8. 8TAPKoba lukaaselele, Leza waatumine mwela ubi kufuma ku kabanga. Koba kaamusaamiine Yona pa mutue. Yona lu-aali wasyaumiine kupenzuka, waali wasyapupila sie alenge afue. Waalandile evi, “Kufua kwawama kukila kuba mukose.”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. 9TAPLeza waamwipuziizie Yona, “Ati, wakita bwino kufiitilua ozu musila?” Wa-asukile nangue, “Nakita bwino kufiitua, kine kufua nfue sie.”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. 10TAPYawe waamwanine evi, “Wewe waunvwilanga nkumbu musila u-usimeniizie ni ku-ukuzia, ozo wakimena busiku bumo ni kuuma busiku bumo.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. 11TAPEba, ale nene i alikwandua kunvwila nkumbu muzi ukata wa Ninawe ulimo bantu bengi kukila pa 120,000 basili na buvinde bwa kwinika biweme ni bibiipile, kabili mwali ni nama ingi iteekelue?”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?”
