Da sprach Gott zu Jona: Meinst du, daß du billig zürnst um den Rizinus? Und er sprach: Billig zürne ich bis an den Tod.
Entonces dijo Dios a Jonás: ¿Tanto te enojas por la calabacera? Y él respondió: Mucho me enojo, hasta la muerte.
Dieu dit à Jonas: Fais-tu bien de t'irriter à cause du ricin? Il répondit: Je fais bien de m'irriter jusqu'à la mort.
E Iddio disse a Giona: È egli ben fatto, di sdegnarti in questa maniera per lo ricino? Ed egli disse: Sì, egli è ben fatto, di essermi sdegnato fino alla morte.
Então disse Deus a Jonas: Fazes bem que assim te ires por causa da aboboreira? E ele disse: Faço bem que me revolte até à morte.
