Jonah 2
1 And Jonah prays to his God YHWH from the bowels of the fish.
Da bad Jonas i Fiskens Bug til HERREN sin Gud
2 And he says: “I called, because of my distress, to YHWH, And He answers me, From the belly of Sheol I have cried, You have heard my voice. (Sheol h7585)
og sagde: Jeg råbte i Nøden til HERREN, og han svarede mig; jeg skreg fra Dødsrigets Skød, og du hørte min Røst. (Sheol h7585)
3 When You cast me [into] the deep, Into the heart of the seas, Then the flood surrounds me, All Your breakers and Your billows have passed 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 have been cast out from before Your eyes (Yet I add to look to Your holy temple!)
Jeg tænkte: "Bort er jeg stødt fra dine Øjne, aldrig mer skal jeg skue dit hellige Tempel."
5 Waters have surrounded me to the soul, The deep surrounds me, The weed is bound to my head.
Vandene trued min Sjæl, Dybet omgav mig, Tang var viklet om mit Hoved; til Bjergenes Rødder
6 To the cuttings of mountains I have come down, The earth, her bars [are] behind me for all time. And You bring my life up from the pit, O YHWH my God.
steg jeg ned, til Jordens Slåer, de evige Grundvolde; da drog du mit Liv op af Graven, HERRE min Gud.
7 In the feebleness of my soul within me, I have remembered YHWH, And my prayer comes to You, Into Your 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 Those observing lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
De, der dyrker det tomme Gøgl, lader Gudsfrygt fare;
9 And I—with a voice of thanksgiving—I sacrifice to You, That which I have vowed I complete, Salvation [is] of YHWH.”
men jeg vil bringe dig Ofre med Lovsangs Toner og indfri de Løfter, jeg gav. Hos HERREN er Frelse.
10 And YHWH speaks to the fish, and it vomits Jonah out on the dry land.
Så talede HERREN til Fisken, og den spyede Jonas ud på det tørre Land.
