Jonas 2
1 Og Jonas bad til Herren sin Gud fra Fiskens Liv,
Then Jonah prayed to Jehovah his God out of the sea creatures belly.
2 og han sagde: Jeg raabte til Herren ud af min Angest, og han svarede mig; jeg, skreg fra Dødsrigets Skød, du hørte min Røst. (Sheol h7585)
And he said, I called because of my affliction to Jehovah, and he answered me. Out of the belly of Sheol I cried, and thou heard my voice. (Sheol h7585)
3 Du kastede mig i Dybet, midt i Havet, og Strømmen omgav mig; alle dine Vover og dine Bølger gik over mig.
For thou cast me into the depth, in the heart of the seas, and the flood was round about me. All thy waves and thy billows passed over me.
4 Og jeg sagde: Jeg er udstødt fra dine Øjne, men jeg skal atter skue hen til dit hellige Tempel.
And I said, I am cast out from before thine eyes. Yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.
5 Vandene omsluttede mig indtil Sjælen, Dybet omgav mig, Tang var viklet om mit Hoved.
The waters encompassed me around, even to the soul. The deep was round about me. The weeds were wrapped around my head.
6 Jeg sank ned til Bjergenes Grunde, Jordens Porte vare lukkede efter mig for evigt; men du Herre, min Gud, drog mit Liv op af Graven.
I went down to the bottoms of the mountains. The earth with its bars closed upon me forever. Yet thou have brought up my life from the pit, O Jehovah my God.
7 Der min Sjæl i mit Indre forsmægtede, kom jeg Herren i Hu; og min Bøn kom til dig i dit hellige Tempel.
When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Jehovah. And my prayer came in to thee, into thy holy temple.
8 De, som tage Vare paa Løgnens Gøglebilleder, de have forladt ham, som er dem Miskundhed.
Those who regard lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
9 Men jeg, jeg vil med Taksigelses Røst ofre til dig, jeg vil betale det, jeg har lovet; Frelse er der hos Herren.
But I will sacrifice to thee with the voice of thanksgiving. I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation is of Jehovah.
10 Og Herren bød Fisken, og den udspyede Jonas paa det tørre Land.
And Jehovah spoke to the sea creature, and it vomited Jonah out upon the dry land.
