< Jonas 2 >

1 Da bad Jonas i Fiskens Bug til HERREN sin Gud
And Jonas prayed to the Lord his God out of the belly of the fish.
2 og sagde: Jeg råbte i Nøden til HERREN, og han svarede mig; jeg skreg fra Dødsrigets Skød, og du hørte min Røst. (Sheol h7585)
And he said: I cried out of my affliction to the Lord, and he heard me: I cried out of the belly of hell, and 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.
And thou hast cast me forth into the deep in the heart of the sea, and a flood hath compassed me: all thy billows, and thy waves have passed over me.
4 Jeg tænkte: "Bort er jeg stødt fra dine Øjne, aldrig mer skal jeg skue dit hellige Tempel."
And I said: I am cast away out of the sight of thy eyes: but yet I shall see thy holy temple again.
5 Vandene trued min Sjæl, Dybet omgav mig, Tang var viklet om mit Hoved; til Bjergenes Rødder
The waters compassed me about even to the soul: the deep hath closed me round about, the sea hath covered my head.
6 steg jeg ned, til Jordens Slåer, de evige Grundvolde; da drog du mit Liv op af Graven, HERRE min Gud.
I went down to the lowest parts of the mountains: the bars of the earth have shut me up for ever: and thou wilt bring up my life from corruption, O Lord 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.
When my soul was in distress within me, I remembered the Lord: that my prayer may come to thee, unto thy holy temple.
8 De, der dyrker det tomme Gøgl, lader Gudsfrygt fare;
They that are vain observe vanities, forsake their own mercy.
9 men jeg vil bringe dig Ofre med Lovsangs Toner og indfri de Løfter, jeg gav. Hos HERREN er Frelse.
But I with the voice of praise will sacrifice to thee: I will pay whatsoever I have vowed for my salvation to the Lord.
10 Så talede HERREN til Fisken, og den spyede Jonas ud på det tørre Land.
And the Lord spoke to the fish: and it vomited out Jonas upon the dry land.
