Jonas 2
1 Da bad Jonas i Fiskens Bug til HERREN sin Gud
And Jonah prayeth unto Jehovah his God from the bowels of the fish.
2 og sagde: Jeg raabte i Nøden til HERREN, og han svarede mig; jeg skreg fra Dødsrigets Skød, og du hørte min Røst. (Sheol h7585)
And he saith: I called, because of my distress, to Jehovah, And He doth answer me, From the belly of sheol I have cried, Thou hast heard my voice. (Sheol h7585)
3 Du kasted mig i Dybet midt i Havet, Strømmen omgav mig; alle dine Brændinger og Bølger skyllede over mig.
When Thou dost cast me [into] the deep, Into the heart of the seas, Then the flood doth compass me, All Thy breakers and Thy billows have passed over me.
4 Jeg tænkte: »Bort er jeg stødt fra dine Øjne, aldrig mer skal jeg skue dit hellige Tempel.«
And I — I said: I have been cast out from before Thine eyes, (Yet I add to look unto Thy holy temple!)
5 Vandene trued min Sjæl, Dybet omgav mig, Tang var viklet om mit Hoved; til Bjergenes Rødder
Compassed me have waters unto the soul, The deep doth compass me, The weed is bound to my head.
6 steg jeg ned, til Jordens Slaaer, de evige Grundvolde; da drog du mit Liv op af Graven, HERRE min Gud.
To the cuttings of mountains I have come down, The earth, her bars [are] behind me to the age. And Thou bringest up from the pit my life, O Jehovah my God.
7 Da min Sjæl vansmægtede i mig, kom jeg HERREN i Hu, og min Bøn steg op til dig i dit hellige Tempel.
In the feebleness within me of my soul Jehovah I have remembered, And come in unto Thee doth my prayer, Unto Thy holy temple.
8 De, der dyrker det tomme Gøgl, lader Gudsfrygt fare;
Those observing lying vanities their own mercy forsake.
9 men jeg vil bringe dig Ofre med Lovsangs Toner og indfri de Løfter, jeg gav. Hos HERREN er Frelse.
And I — with a voice of thanksgiving — I sacrifice to Thee, That which I have vowed I complete, Salvation [is] of Jehovah.
10 Saa talede HERREN til Fisken, og den spyede Jonas ud paa det tørre Land.
And Jehovah saith to the fish, and it vomiteth out Jonah on the dry land.
