1 (2:2) Da bad Jonas i Fiskens Bug til HERREN sin Gud

1 Then Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from the stomach of the fish,

2 (2:3) og sagde: Jeg råbte i Nøden til HERREN, og han svarede mig; jeg skreg fra Dødsrigets Skød, og du hørte min Røst.

2 and he said,“I called out of my distress to the Lord,And He answered me.I cried for help from the depth of Sheol;You heard my voice.

3 (2:4) Du kasted mig i Dybet midt i Havet, Strømmen omgav mig; alle dine Brændinger og Bølger skyllede over mig.

3 “For You had cast me into the deep,Into the heart of the seas,And the current engulfed me.All Your breakers and billows passed over me.

4 (2:5) Jeg tænkte: "Bort er jeg stødt fra dine Øjne, aldrig mer skal jeg skue dit hellige Tempel."

4 “So I said, ‘I have been expelled from Your sight.Nevertheless I will look again toward Your holy temple.’

5 (2:6) Vandene trued min Sjæl, Dybet omgav mig, Tang var viklet om mit Hoved; til Bjergenes Rødder

5 “Water encompassed me to the point of death.The great deep engulfed me,Weeds were wrapped around my head.

6 (2:7) steg jeg ned, til Jordens Slåer, de evige Grundvolde; da drog du mit Liv op af Graven, HERRE min Gud.

6 “I descended to the roots of the mountains.The earth with its bars was around me forever,But You have brought up my life from the pit, O Lord my God.

7 (2:8) Da min Sjæl vansmægtede i mig, kom jeg HERREN i Hu, og min Bøn steg op til dig i dit hellige Tempel.

7 “While I was fainting away,I remembered the Lord,And my prayer came to You,Into Your holy temple.

8 (2:9) De, der dyrker det tomme Gøgl, lader Gudsfrygt fare;

8 “Those who regard vain idolsForsake their faithfulness,

9 (2:10) men jeg vil bringe dig Ofre med Lovsangs Toner og indfri de Løfter, jeg gav. Hos HERREN er Frelse.

9 But I will sacrifice to YouWith the voice of thanksgiving.That which I have vowed I will pay.Salvation is from the Lord.”

10 (2:11) Så talede HERREN til Fisken, og den spyede Jonas ud på det tørre Land. 

10 Then the Lord commanded the fish, and it vomited Jonah up onto the dry land.
