God is using the question form to lead Jonah to draw a conclusion about his selfish attitude. God is not seeking information. Since Jonah answers the question, it would be good to keep the question form if that would be natural in your language. But if you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement. Alternate translation: “It is not right that it burns to you about the plant!”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
חָרָֽה־לְךָ֖ & חָֽרָה־לִ֖י
it_glowed/burned to/for=yourself(m) & it_glowed/burned to=me
The phrases it burns to you and it burns to me are examples of an idiom that speaks of Jonah’s anger as if it were a fire burning inside him. See how you translated this idiom in 4:1.
