| 約拿書-Jonah 第 4 章 |
| 4:1 | 約拿對這事大大不悅，並且發怒。 But it displeased Jonah greatly, and he was angry. |
| 4:2 | 他就禱告耶和華說，耶和華阿，我在本地的時候，豈不是這樣說麼？我知道你是有恩典、有憐恤的神，不輕易發怒，有豐盛的慈愛，並且後悔不降所說的災，所以我急速逃往他施去。 And he prayed to Jehovah and said, Ah, Jehovah, was this not what I said when I was still in my land? Therefore I anticipated it by fleeing to Tarshish, for I know that You are a gracious and compassionate God, long-suffering and abundant in lovingkindness and repentant of evil. |
| 4:3 | 耶和華阿，現在求你取我的命罷，因為我死了比活著還好。 And now, Jehovah, take my life, I pray, from me, for it is better for me to die than to live. |
| 4:4 | 耶和華說，你這樣發怒合理麼？ And Jehovah said, Do you do well to be angry? |
| 4:5 | 於是約拿出城，坐在城的東邊。他在那裏為自己搭了一座棚，坐在棚的蔭下，要看看那城究竟如何。 Then Jonah went out from the city and sat to the east of the city. And he made a booth for himself there and sat underneath it in the shade until he could see what would happen to the city. |
| 4:6 | 耶和華神安排一棵蓖麻，使其長起來高過約拿，影兒遮蓋他的頭，救他脫離苦楚。約拿因這棵蓖麻大大喜樂。 And Jehovah God prepared a castor-oil tree; and it came up over Jonah to be a shade over his head, that it might deliver him from his misfortune. And Jonah was exceedingly glad because of the tree. |
| 4:7 | 次日黎明，神卻安排一條蟲子，咬這蓖麻，以致枯槁。 But God prepared a worm when the dawn came up the next day, and it struck the tree, and the tree withered. |
| 4:8 | 日頭出來的時候，神安排炎熱的東風。日頭曝曬約拿的頭，他就發昏。他為自己求死，說，我死了比活著還好。 And when the sun rose, God prepared a 1sultry east wind. And the sun beat down on Jonah's head, and he fainted. And he requested for himself that he might die, and said, It is better for me to die than to live. |
| 4:9 | 神對約拿說，你因這棵蓖麻發怒合理麼？他說，我發怒以至於死，都是合理的。 And God said to Jonah, Do you do well to be angry about the tree? And he said, I do well to be angry unto death. |
| 4:10 | 耶和華說，這蓖麻不是你勞苦栽種的，也不是你使它長大的；一夜生長，一夜枯死，你尚且憐惜； And Jehovah said, You had pity on the tree that you did not labor for nor cause to grow, which came into being overnight and perished overnight; |
| 4:11 | 何況這尼尼微大城，其中不能分辨右手和左手的有十二萬多人，並有許多牲畜，我豈能不憐惜呢？ And I, should I not have pity on Nineveh, the great city, in which are more than a hundred and twenty thousand people who cannot discern between their right hand and their left, and many cattle? |
