Jonas 2
1 And Jonas prayed to the Lord his God out of the belly of the whale,
Og Jonas bad til Herren sin Gud fra Fiskens Liv,
2 and said, I cried in my affliction to the Lord my God, and he listened to me, [even] to my cry out of the belly of hell: you heard my voice. (Sheol h7585)
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)
3 You did cast me into the depths of the heart of the sea, and the floods compassed me: all your billows and your waves have passed upon me.
Du kastede mig i Dybet, midt i Havet, og Strømmen omgav mig; alle dine Vover og dine Bølger gik over mig.
4 And I said, I am cast out of your presence: shall I indeed look again towards your holy temple?
Og jeg sagde: Jeg er udstødt fra dine Øjne, men jeg skal atter skue hen til dit hellige Tempel.
5 Water was poured around me to the soul: the lowest deep compassed me, my head went down
Vandene omsluttede mig indtil Sjælen, Dybet omgav mig, Tang var viklet om mit Hoved.
6 to the clefts of the mountains; I went down into the earth, whose bars are the everlasting barriers: yet, O Lord my God, let my ruined life be restored.
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.
7 When my soul was failing me, I remembered the Lord; and may my prayer come to you into your holy temple.
Der min Sjæl i mit Indre forsmægtede, kom jeg Herren i Hu; og min Bøn kom til dig i dit hellige Tempel.
8 They that observe vanities and lies have forsaken their own mercy.
De, som tage Vare paa Løgnens Gøglebilleder, de have forladt ham, som er dem Miskundhed.
9 But I will sacrifice to you with the voice of praise and thanksgiving: all that I have vowed I will pay to you, the Lord of [my] salvation.
Men jeg, jeg vil med Taksigelses Røst ofre til dig, jeg vil betale det, jeg har lovet; Frelse er der hos Herren.
10 And the whale was commanded by the Lord, and it cast up Jonas on the dry [land].
Og Herren bød Fisken, og den udspyede Jonas paa det tørre Land.
