1.4 KiB
God prepared a hot east wind
God caused a hot wind from the east to blow on Jonah. If wind can only mean a cool or cold wind then you can try this. AT: "God sent a very hot warmth from the east to Jonah" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit)
the sun beat down
"the sun was very hot"
on Jonah's head
Jonah may have felt the heat most on his head. AT: "on Jonah" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-synecdoche)
he became faint
"he became very weak" or "he lost his strength"
It is better for me to die than to live
"I would prefer to die than live" or "Because I want to die. I do not want to live." See how you translated this in Jonah 4:3.
Is it good that you are so angry about the plant?
God challenges Jonah for being angry that the plant died and yet wanted God to kill the people of Nineveh. AT: "Your anger about the plant dying is not good." (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion)
Is it good that you are so angry about the plant?
implicit information can be made explicit. AT: "You should be more concerned about the people in Nineveh dying than about the plant dying." (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit)
It is good that I am angry, even to death.
"It is good that I am angry. Now I am angry enough to die!"
