Jonah 2
1 Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish’s belly.
Og Jonas bad til Herren sin Gud fra Fiskens Liv,
2 And he said, I called by reason of mine affliction unto the LORD, and he answered me; out of the belly of hell cried I, [and] thou heardest 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 For thou didst cast me into the depth, in the heart of the seas, and the flood was round about me; all thy waves and thy billows passed over 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, am cast out from before thine eyes; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.
Og jeg sagde: Jeg er udstødt fra dine Øjne, men jeg skal atter skue hen til dit hellige Tempel.
5 The waters compassed me about, even to the soul; the deep was round about me; the weeds were wrapped about my head.
Vandene omsluttede mig indtil Sjælen, Dybet omgav mig, Tang var viklet om mit Hoved.
6 I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars [closed] upon me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life from the pit, O LORD my God.
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 fainted within me, I remembered the LORD: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine 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 regard lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
De, som tage Vare paa Løgnens Gøglebilleder, de have forladt ham, som er dem Miskundhed.
9 But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation is of the LORD.
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 LORD spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
Og Herren bød Fisken, og den udspyede Jonas paa det tørre Land.
