Jonah 2
1 And Jonah prayed unto Jehovah his God out of the fish's belly;
Da bad Jonas i Fiskens Bug til HERREN sin Gud
2 and he said: I cried by reason of my distress unto Jehovah, and he answered me; Out of the belly of Sheol cried I: thou heardest my voice. (Sheol h7585)
og sagde: Jeg raabte i Nøden til HERREN, og han svarede mig; jeg skreg fra Dødsrigets Skød, og du hørte min Røst. (Sheol h7585)
3 For thou didst cast me into the depth, into the heart of the seas, And the flood was round about me: All thy breakers and thy billows are gone over me.
Du kasted mig i Dybet midt i Havet, Strømmen omgav mig; alle dine Brændinger og Bølger skyllede over mig.
4 And I said, I am cast out from before thine eyes, Yet will I look again toward thy holy temple.
Jeg tænkte: »Bort er jeg stødt fra dine Øjne, aldrig mer skal jeg skue dit hellige Tempel.«
5 The waters encompassed me, to the soul: The deep was round about me, The weeds were wrapped about my head.
Vandene trued min Sjæl, Dybet omgav mig, Tang var viklet om mit Hoved; til Bjergenes Rødder
6 I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; The bars of the earth [closed] upon me for ever: But thou hast brought up my life from the pit, O Jehovah my God.
steg jeg ned, til Jordens Slaaer, de evige Grundvolde; da drog du mit Liv op af Graven, HERRE min Gud.
7 When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Jehovah; And my prayer came in unto thee, Into thy holy temple.
Da min Sjæl vansmægtede i mig, kom jeg HERREN i Hu, og min Bøn steg op til dig i dit hellige Tempel.
8 They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
De, der dyrker det tomme Gøgl, lader Gudsfrygt fare;
9 But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation is of Jehovah.
men jeg vil bringe dig Ofre med Lovsangs Toner og indfri de Løfter, jeg gav. Hos HERREN er Frelse.
10 And Jehovah commanded the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry [land].
Saa talede HERREN til Fisken, og den spyede Jonas ud paa det tørre Land.
