Adhyāya 4
yah bat yona ko bahut hee buree lagee, aur usaka krodha bhdka.
2 aur us ne yahova se yah kahakar praarthna kee, he yahova jab maain apane desh men tha, tab kya maain yahee bat n kahata tha? isee karan maain ne teree agyaa sunate hee tashareesh ko bhag jane ke liye faurtee kee kyonki maain janata tha ki too anugrahakaree aur dayalu parameshvar haai, vilamb se kop karanevala karoonanidhaan haai, aur du:kh dene se prasann naheen hota.
3 so ab he yahova, mera praan le le kyonaki mere liye jeeavit rahane se marana hee bhla haai.
4 yahova ne kaha, tera jo krodha bhdka haai, kya vah uchit haai?
5 is par yona us nagar se nikalakar, usakee poorab or baaitt gaya aur vahan aek chhppar banakar usakee chhaya men baaitta hua yah dekhne laga ki nagar ko kya hoga?
6 tab yahova parameshvar ne aek rend ka ped lagakar aeesa baddhaya ki yona ke sir par chhaya ho, jis se usaka du:kh door ho. yona us rend ke ped ke karan bahut hee anaandait hua.
7 bihan ko jab pau fattne lagee, tab parameshvar ne aek keede ko bheja, jis ne rend ka ped aesa katta ki vah sookh gaya.
8 jab soorya uga, tab parameshvar ne puravai bahakar loo chalai, aur ghaam yona ke sir par aeesa laga ki vah moochrchha khane laga aur us ne yah kahakar mratyu mangee, mere liye jeeavit rahane se marana hee achchha haai.
9 parameshvar ne yona se kaha, tera krodha, jo rend ke ped ke karan bhdka haai, kya vah uchit haai? us ne kaha, ha, mera jo krodha bhdka haai vah achchha hee haai, varan krodha ke mare marana bhee achchha hota.
10 tab yahova ne kaha, jis rend ke ped ke liye too ne kuchh paarishram naheen kiya, n usako baddhaya, jo aek hee rat men hua, aur aek hee rat men nash bhee hua us par too ne taras khai haai.
11 fir yah bada nagar neenave, jis men aek lakh bees hajar se aadhaim manushy haai, jo apane dahine baaen hathon ka bhed naheen paahichanate, aur bahut ghareloo pashu bhee us men rahate haai, to kya maain us par taras n khaun?
