  1. 1

    这事约拿大大不悦,他很发怒,

    但这事让约拿极其不高兴,并且他非常生气。

    这事约拿大大不悦,且甚发怒,

    But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry.

  2. 2

    就祷告耶和华说,耶和华啊,我在本国求你的时候难道不是这样说吗?我知道你是有恩典、有怜悯的神,慢慢地发怒,有极大的仁慈,并且后悔不降所说的灾,所以我逃往他施去。

    他就向主请求,说,我请求你,主啊,当我还在我的故乡时,难道不是这样说的吗?因我知道你是一位有恩典的神,有怜悯,并且慢慢地发怒,又有极大的仁慈,你还会后悔这坏事;因此我就逃到他实示去。

    就祷告耶和华说:“耶和华啊,我在本国的时候岂不是这样说吗?我知道你是有恩典、有怜悯的 神,不轻易发怒,有丰盛的慈爱,并且后悔不降所说的灾,所以我急速逃往他施去。

    And he prayed unto the LORD, and said, I pray thee, O LORD, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I fled before unto Tarshish: for I knew that thou art a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repentest thee of the evil.

  3. 3

    耶和华啊,现在求你取我的命吧。因为我死了比活着还好。

    因此,主啊,现在我恳请你拿走我的生命吧;因我死了比活着更好。

    耶和华啊,现在求你取我的命吧!因为我死了比活着还好。”

    Therefore now, O LORD, take, I beseech thee, my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live.

  4. 4

    耶和华说,你这样发怒好吗?

    于是主说,你这样生气好吗?

    耶和华说:“你这样发怒合乎理吗?”

    Then said the LORD, Doest thou well to be angry?

  5. 5

    于是约拿出城,坐在城的东边,在那里为自己搭了一座棚,坐在棚的荫下,要看看那城究竟如何。

    所以约拿出了城,就坐在城的东边,并在那里为自己搭了一个棚子,然后坐在它的阴凉下,直到他可以看到这城市会变成什么样。

    于是约拿出城,坐在城的东边,在那里为自己搭了一座棚,坐在棚的荫下,要看看那城究竟如何。

    So Jonah went out of the city, and sat on the east side of the city, and there made him a booth, and sat under it in the shadow, till he might see what would become of the city.

  6. 6

    耶和华神预备一棵蓖麻,使其发生高过约拿,影儿遮盖他的头,救他脱离苦楚;约拿因这棵蓖麻大大喜乐。

    然后主神准备了一棵葫芦,使它上来到约拿的上面,这样它就可以在他的头上作一个阴蔽,为要从他的忧伤中救他。所以约拿就为这棵葫芦极其高兴。

    耶和华 神安排一棵蓖麻,使其发生高过约拿,影儿遮盖他的头,救他脱离苦楚;约拿因这棵蓖麻大大喜乐。

    And the LORD God prepared a gourd, and made it to come up over Jonah, that it might be a shadow over his head, to deliver him from his grief. So Jonah was exceeding glad of the gourd.

  7. 7

    次日黎明,神却预备一条虫子咬这蓖麻,以致枯干。

    但当第二天早晨起来时,神准备了一条虫,并且它击打了这葫芦,使它枯萎了。

    次日黎明, 神却安排一条虫子咬这蓖麻,以致枯槁。

    But God prepared a worm when the morning rose the next day, and it smote the gourd that it withered.

  8. 8

    太阳出来的时候,神预备炎热的东风,太阳曝晒约拿的头,使他发昏,他就为自己求死,说,我死了比活着还好。

    然后这样发生了,当太阳升起来的时候,神就准备了一阵强烈的东风;太阳就击打在约拿头上,使他昏软,他里面就想要死,说,我死了比活着更好。

    日头出来的时候, 神安排炎热的东风,日头曝晒约拿的头,使他发昏,他就为自己求死,说:“我死了比活着还好!”

    And it came to pass, when the sun did arise, that God prepared a vehement east wind; and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah, that he fainted, and wished in himself to die, and said, It is better for me to die than to live.

  9. 9

    神对约拿说,你因这棵蓖麻发怒好吗?他说,我发怒以至于死,作得好。

    然后神对约拿说,你因这葫芦这样生气好吗?他说,我生气甚至去死都好。

    神对约拿说:“你因这棵蓖麻发怒合乎理吗?”他说:“我发怒以至于死,都合乎理!”

    And God said to Jonah, Doest thou well to be angry for the gourd? And he said, I do well to be angry, even unto death.

  10. 10

    耶和华说,这蓖麻不是你栽种的,也不是你培养的;一夜发生,一夜干死,你尚且同情;

    于是主说,你既没有为这葫芦付出过劳动,也没有使它生长;它在一夜里上来,又在一夜里灭亡,你就已经对它有了怜悯;

    耶和华说:“这蓖麻不是你栽种的,也不是你培养的;一夜发生,一夜干死,你尚且爱惜;

    Then said the LORD, Thou hast had pity on the gourd, for the which thou hast not laboured, neither madest it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night:

  11. 11

    何况这尼尼微大城,其中不能分辨左手右手的有十二万多人,并有许多牲畜,我难道不爱惜吗?

    那伟大的城市尼尼微,其中不能分辨自己右手和左手的就有十二万多人;并且也有许多牲畜;难道我不应该饶恕?

    何况这尼尼微大城,其中不能分辨左手右手的有十二万多人,并有许多牲畜,我岂能不爱惜呢?”

    And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much cattle?
