圣母玫瑰园-思高圣经 

【约纳】第四章  << 上一章

4:1 约纳因此很不高兴，遂发起怒来。
But this was greatly displeasing to Jonah, and he became angry.
4:2 他恳求天主说：「上主，当我还在故乡时，我岂不是已想到这事﹖所以我预先要逃往塔尔史士去，因为我知道你是慈悲的，宽仁的天主；是缓于发怒，富于慈爱，怜悯而不愿降灾祸的天主。
"I beseech you, LORD," he prayed, "is not this what I said while I was still in my own country? This is why I fled at first to Tarshish. I knew that you are a gracious and merciful God, slow to anger, rich in clemency, loathe to punish.
4:3 上主，现在，求你从我身上收去我的性命，因为，我死了比活着还好!」
And now, LORD, please take my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live."
4:4 上主说：「你的愤怒合理吗﹖」
But the LORD asked, "Have you reason to be angry?"
4:5 约纳出了城，坐在城东，在那里为自己搭了一个棚，坐在棚荫下，要看看那城究竟要发生什么事。
Jonah then left the city for a place to the east of it, where he built himself a hut and waited under it in the shade, to see what would happen to the city.
4:6 上主天主安排了一株篦麻，使它长得高过约纳，为他的头遮荫，消除他的烦恼。约纳很喜爱这株篦麻。
And when the LORD God provided a gourd plant, that grew up over Jonah’s head, giving shade that relieved him of any discomfort, Jonah was very happy over the plant.
4:7 但第二天曙光升起时，天主安排了一个虫子咬死了篦麻，篦麻便枯萎了。
But the next morning at dawn God sent a worm which attacked the plant, so that it withered.
4:8 当太阳升起时，天主又安排了灸热的东风，太阳射在约纳头上，使他无法忍受，遂要求死去，说：「我死了比活着还好!」
And when the sun arose, God sent a burning east wind; and the sun beat upon Jonah’s head till he became faint. Then he asked for death, saying, "I would be better off dead than alive."
4:9 天主向约纳说：「你为这株篦麻发怒合理吗﹖」他回答说：「我发怒以致于死，是合理的!」
But God said to Jonah, "Have you reason to be angry over the plant?" "I have reason to be angry," Jonah answered, "angry enough to die."
4:10 上主说：「你为这株篦麻，并没有劳过力，也没有使它生长，还怜惜它：它不过是一夜生出，一夜死去的植物；
Then the LORD said, "You are concerned over the plant which cost you no labor and which you did not raise; it came up in one night and in one night it perished.
4:11 对尼尼微这座大城，其中有十二万多不能分辨自己左右手的人，且有许多牲畜，我就不该怜惜他们么﹖」
And should I not be concerned over Nineveh, the great city, in which there are more than a hundred and twenty thousand persons who cannot distinguish their right hand from their left, not to mention the many cattle?"
