Jonas 2
1 Og Jonas bad til Herren sin Gud fra Fiskens Liv,
Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish's 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 out of mine affliction unto the LORD, and He answered me; out of the belly of the nether-world cried I, and Thou heardest 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 didst 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 compassed me about, even to the soul; the deep was round about me; the weeds were wrapped about 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 her bars closed upon me for ever; yet hast Thou brought up my life from the pit, O LORD 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 the LORD; and my prayer came in unto Thee, into Thy holy temple.
8 De, som tage Vare paa Løgnens Gøglebilleder, de have forladt ham, som er dem Miskundhed.
They that 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 unto Thee with the voice of thanksgiving; that which I have vowed I will pay. Salvation is of the LORD.
10 Og Herren bød Fisken, og den udspyede Jonas paa det tørre Land.
And the LORD spoke unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
