In context
1 Lakini hili lilimchukiza Yona naye akakasirika.
2 Basi Yona akamwomba Bwana akasema, “Ee, Bwana, hiya sio yale niliyosema wakati niliporudi katika nchi yangu? Ndiyo maana nilifanya haraka na kujaribu kukimbia Tarshishi-kwa sababu nilijua kuwa wewe ni Mungu mwenye neema, mwenye huruma, si meingi wa hasira, mwingi kwa uaminifu, na hughairi maafa.
3 Kwa hiyo sasa, Bwana, nakuomba, uniondoe uhai wangu, kwa maana ni bora kwangu kufa kuliko kuishi.”
4 Bwana akasema, Je, ni vema kwamba umekasirika?”
5 Kisha Yona akaondoka mjini akaketi upande wa mashariki wa jiji. Huko alifanya makao na akaketi chini yake katika kivuli ili aweze kuona mji utakuwaje.
6 Bwana Mungu aliandaa mmea na kuukuza juu ya Yona ili uwe kivuli juu ya kichwa chake ili kupunguza dhiki yake. Yona alikuwa na furaha kubwa kwa sababu ya mmea.
