約拿書第4章 |
1 |
2 就禱告耶和華說:「耶和華啊,我在本國求你 |
3 耶和華啊,現在求你取我的命吧。因為我死了比活著還好。」 |
4 耶和華說:「你這樣發怒合乎理嗎?」 |
5 於是約拿出城,坐在城的東邊,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。 |
6 |
7 次日早上 |
8 日頭出來的時候,神安排炎熱的東風,日頭曝曬約拿的頭,使他發昏,他就為自己求死,說:「我死了比活著還好。」 |
9 |
10 耶和華說:「這葫蘆 |
11 何況這尼尼微大城,其中不能分辨左手右手的有十二萬多人,並有許多牲畜,我豈能不愛惜呢?」 |
JonahChapter 4 |
1 BUT it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was greatly grieved. |
2 And he prayed to the LORD and said, I pray thee, O LORD, was not this what I said when I was yet in my country? That is why I fled before to Tarshish; for I knew that thou art a gracious and merciful God, patient and of great kindness, and thou art ready to turn away calamity. |
3 Therefore now, O my LORD, take my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live. |
4 Then the LORD said to him, Are you very sorrowful? |
5 So Jonah went out of the city, and sat on the east side of the city, and there made a booth for himself, and sat under it in the shade to see what would happen to the city. |
6 And the LORD God commanded a tender shoot of gourd to spring up, and it sprang up and came over Jonah, and became a shade over his head, and comforted him of his grief. So Jonah was exceedingly glad because of the gourd. |
7 But the next day at dawn, God commanded a worm, and it smote the gourd so that it withered. |
8 And it came to pass when the sun arose, the LORD God commanded a sultry east wind; and it withered the gourd, and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah, that he was weary and wished that he might die, and said, O LORD, you can take my life from me, for I am not better than my fathers. |
9 And the LORD God said to Jonah, Are you exceedingly grieved over the gourd? And Jonah said, I am exceedingly grieved, even unto death. |
10 Then the LORD said to him, You have had pity on the gourd for the which you did not labor nor did you make it to grow; which sprung up in a night and withered in a night; |
11 And should not I have pity upon Nineveh, that great city, in which are more than a hundred and twenty thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand,: and also much cattle? |
