Jonas 2
1 Og Jonas bad til Herren sin Gud fra Fiskens Liv,
Then Jonah prayed to Yahweh his God from the fish's stomach.
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)
He said, “I called out to Yahweh about my distress and he answered me; from the belly of Sheol I cried out for help! You 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.
You had thrown me into the depths, into the heart of the seas, and the currents surrounded me; all your waves and billows passed over me.
4 Og jeg sagde: Jeg er udstødt fra dine Øjne, men jeg skal atter skue hen til dit hellige Tempel.
I said, 'I am driven out from before your eyes; yet I will again look toward your holy temple.'
5 Vandene omsluttede mig indtil Sjælen, Dybet omgav mig, Tang var viklet om mit Hoved.
The waters closed around me up to my neck; the deep was all around me; seaweed 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 bases of the mountains; the earth with its bars closed upon me forever. Yet you brought up my life from the pit, Yahweh, 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 called Yahweh to mind; then my prayer came to you, to your holy temple.
8 De, som tage Vare paa Løgnens Gøglebilleder, de have forladt ham, som er dem Miskundhed.
They give attention to useless gods while they forsake loving faithfulness.
9 Men jeg, jeg vil med Taksigelses Røst ofre til dig, jeg vil betale det, jeg har lovet; Frelse er der hos Herren.
But as for me, I will sacrifice to you with a voice of thanksgiving; I will fulfill that which I have vowed. Salvation comes from Yahweh!”
10 Og Herren bød Fisken, og den udspyede Jonas paa det tørre Land.
Then Yahweh spoke to the fish, and it vomited up Jonah upon the dry land.
