Jonas 2
1 Og Jonas bad til Herren sin Gud fra Fiskens Liv,
Then Jonah prayed to 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)
He said, “I called because of my affliction to the LORD. He answered me. Out of the belly of Sheol I cried. 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.
For you threw me into the depths, in the heart of the seas. The flood was all around me. All your waves and your 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 have been banished from your sight; yet I will look again towards your holy temple.’
5 Vandene omsluttede mig indtil Sjælen, Dybet omgav mig, Tang var viklet om mit Hoved.
The waters surrounded me, even to the soul. The deep was around 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 barred me in forever; yet you have brought my life up from the pit, 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. My prayer came in to you, into your holy temple.
8 De, som tage Vare paa Løgnens Gøglebilleder, de have forladt ham, som er dem Miskundhed.
Those who regard vain idols 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 you with the voice of thanksgiving. I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation belongs to the LORD.”
10 Og Herren bød Fisken, og den udspyede Jonas paa det tørre Land.
Then the LORD spoke to the fish, and it vomited out Jonah on the dry land.
