1 L aakiinse Yoonis taas aad buu uga calool xumaaday, wuuna xanaaqay.

But Jonah was not pleased at all, and he became angry.

2 K olkaasuu wuxuu baryay Rabbiga oo ku yidhi, Rabbiyow, waan ku baryayaaye, sow kanu ma aha hadalkii aan idhi intaan weli dalkaygii joogay? Oo taas daraaddeed ayaan u degdegay si aan xagga Tarshiish ugu cararo, waayo, waan ogaa inaad tahay Ilaah nimco miidhan ah, oo raxmadu ka buuxdo, oo cadhada u gaabiya, oo naxariis badan, iyo inaad sharka ka noqotid.

He prayed to the Lord and said, “O Lord, is this not what I said You would do while still in my own country? That is why I ran away to Tarshish. For I knew that You are a kind and loving God Who shows pity. I knew that You are slow to anger and are filled with loving-kindness, always ready to change Your mind and not punish.

3 H addaba sidaas daraaddeed, Rabbiyow, waan ku baryayaaye naftayda iga qaad, waayo, intii aan noolaan lahaa waxaa iiga roon inaan dhinto.

So now, O Lord, take my life from me. For death is better to me than life.”

4 M arkaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu ku yidhi, War inaad xanaaqdid ma kuu wanaagsan tahay?

And the Lord said, “Have you any reason to be angry?”

5 M arkaasaa Yoonis ka baxay magaaladii, oo wuxuu fadhiistay magaalada dhankeedii bari, oo halkaasuu waab ka dhistay. Markaasuu hadhkii hoos fadhiistay ilaa uu arko waxa magaalada ku dhacaya.

Then Jonah left the city and sat to the east of the city. There he made a tent for himself, and sat in its shadow until he could see what would happen in the city.

6 K olkaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu diyaariyey geed ubbo ah, oo wuxuu ka dhigay inuu kor fuulo waabkii Yoonis, si uu hoos ugu noqdo, oo uu uga samatabbixiyo xaalkiisii xumaa. Sidaas daraaddeed Yoonis aad iyo aad buu ugu farxay geedkii ubbada ahaa aawadiis.

Then the Lord God made a plant grow up over Jonah to cover him from the hot sun and to stop his suffering. Jonah was very happy about the plant.

7 L aakiinse maalintii dambe markii waagii beryay ayaa Ilaah diyaariyey dixiri, oo isna geedkii ubbada ahaa ayuu gooyay ilaa uu engegay.

But at the beginning of the next day, God sent a worm to destroy the plant and it dried up.

8 O o kolkii qorraxdii soo baxday ayaa Ilaah diyaariyey dabayl kulul oo bari ka timid; qorraxdiina Yoonis ayay madaxa kaga dhegtay ilaa uu itaal darnaaday, oo isna wuxuu ku baryootamay inuu dhinto, oo wuxuu yidhi, Intii aan noolaan lahaa waxaa iiga roon inaan dhinto.

When the sun came up, God sent a hot east wind. And the sun’s heat came upon Jonah’s head so that he became weak and begged with all his heart to die. He said, “Death is better to me than life.”

9 M arkaasaa Ilaah wuxuu Yoonis ku yidhi, War inaad geedkii ubbada ahaa u xanaaqdid ma kuu wanaagsan tahay? Oo isna wuxuu yidhi, Haah, oo inaan cadhoodo way ii wanaagsan tahay xataa ilaa dhimasho.

Then God said to Jonah, “Do you have a good reason to be angry about the plant?” And Jonah said, “I have a good reason to be angry, angry enough to die.”

10 M arkaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu ku yidhi, Waxaad u jixinjixday geedkii ubbada ahaa oo aadan u hawshoon oo aadan korinin oo habeen iska soo baxay oo habeen ku baabba'ay.

The Lord said, “You had loving-pity on the plant which you did not work for. You did not cause it to grow. It came up during the night and died during the night.

11 H addaba sow iima eka inaan u jixinjixo magaalada weyn oo Nineweh, taasoo ay gudaheeda ku jiraan dad ka badan boqol iyo labaatan kun oo qof oo aan kala garan karin gacantooda midig iyo gacantooda bidix, iyo weliba xoolo badan?

And should I not have loving-pity for Nineveh, the large city where more than 120, 000 people live who do not know the difference between their right and left hand, as well as many animals?”
