4:1
Et afflictus est Jonas afflictione magna, et iratus est :
這事約拿大大不悅，且甚發怒，
But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was angry.
4:2
et oravit ad Dominum, et dixit : Obsecro, Domine, numquid non hoc est verbum meum cum adhuc essem in terra mea ? propter hoc praeoccupavi ut fugerem in Tharsis : scio enim quia tu Deus clemens et misericors es, patiens et multae miserationis, et ignoscens super malitia.
就禱告耶和華說：「耶和華啊，我在本國的時候豈不是這樣說嗎？我知道你是有恩典、有憐憫的上帝，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。
He prayed to Yahweh, and said, “Please, Yahweh, wasn’t this what I said when I was still in my own country? Therefore I hurried to flee to Tarshish, for I knew that you are a gracious God and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, and you relent of doing harm.
4:3
Et nunc, Domine, tolle, quaeso, animam meam a me, quia melior est mihi mors quam vita.
耶和華啊，現在求你取我的命吧！因為我死了比活着還好。」
Therefore now, Yahweh, take, I beg you, my life from me, for it is better for me to die than to live.”
4:4
Et dixit Dominus : Putasne bene irasceris tu ?
耶和華說：「你這樣發怒合乎理嗎？」
Yahweh said, “Is it right for you to be angry?”
4:5
Et egressus est Jonas de civitate, et sedit contra orientem civitatis : et fecit sibimet umbraculum ibi, et sedebat subter illud in umbra, donec videret quid accideret civitati.
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。
Then Jonah went out of the city and sat on the east side of the city, and there made himself a booth and sat under it in the shade, until he might see what would become of the city.
4:6
Et praeparavit Dominus Deus hederam, et ascendit super caput Jonae, ut esset umbra super caput ejus, et protegeret eum (laboraverat enim) : et laetatus est Jonas super hedera laetitia magna.
耶和華上帝安排一棵蓖麻，使其發生高過約拿，影兒遮蓋他的頭，救他脫離苦楚；約拿因這棵蓖麻大大喜樂。
Yahweh God prepared a vine and made it to come up over Jonah, that it might be a shade over his head to deliver him from his discomfort. So Jonah was exceedingly glad because of the vine.
4:7
Et paravit Deus vermen ascensu diluculi in crastinum : et percussit hederam, et exaruit.
次日黎明，上帝卻安排一條蟲子咬這蓖麻，以致枯槁。
But God prepared a worm at dawn the next day, and it chewed on the vine so that it withered.
4:8
Et cum ortus fuisset sol, praecepit Dominus vento calido et urenti : et percussit sol super caput Jonae, et aestuabat : et petivit animae suae ut moreretur, et dixit : Melius est mihi mori quam vivere.
日頭出來的時候，上帝安排炎熱的東風，日頭曝曬約拿的頭，使他發昏，他就為自己求死，說：「我死了比活着還好！」
When the sun arose, God prepared a sultry east wind; and the sun beat on Jonah’s head, so that he was faint and requested for himself that he might die. He said, “It is better for me to die than to live.”
4:9
Et dixit Dominus ad Jonam : Putasne bene irasceris tu super hedera ? Et dixit : Bene irascor ego usque ad mortem.
上帝對約拿說：「你因這棵蓖麻發怒合乎理嗎？」他說：「我發怒以至於死，都合乎理！」
God said to Jonah, “Is it right for you to be angry about the vine?” He said, “I am right to be angry, even to death.”
4:10
Et dixit Dominus : Tu doles super hederam in qua non laborasti, neque fecisti ut cresceret ; quae sub una nocte nata est, et sub una nocte periit :
耶和華說：「這蓖麻不是你栽種的，也不是你培養的；一夜發生，一夜乾死，你尚且愛惜；
Yahweh said, “You have been concerned for the vine, for which you have not labored, neither made it grow; which came up in a night and perished in a night.
4:11
et ego non parcam Ninive, civitati magnae, in qua sunt plus quam centum viginti millia hominum qui nesciunt quid sit inter dexteram et sinistram suam, et jumenta multa ?
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？」
Shouldn’t I be concerned for Nineveh, that great city, in which are more than one hundred twenty thousand persons who can’t discern between their right hand and their left hand, and also many animals?”
