Jonas beder til Gud og oplever Guds nåde

1 I mellemtiden havde Herren ordnet det sådan, at en stor fisk slugte Jonas. Jonas var inde i fisken i tre dage, 

2 og fra fiskens indre bad han til Gud: 

3 „I min nød vendte jeg mig til dig, Herre, og du greb ind! Jeg råbte om hjælp fra dødens forgård, og du bønhørte mig!” Han fortsatte: 

4 „Du kastede mig i havet, og jeg sank ned i dybet. Jeg blev slugt af det store ocean, og bølgerne rasede oven over mig. 

5 Jeg troede, du havde forkastet mig, og at jeg aldrig mere skulle se dit hellige tempel. 

6-7 Vandmasserne lukkede sig omkring mig, havets dyb omsluttede mig. Vandplanterne viklede sig om hovedet på mig, og jeg sank ned mod bjergenes rødder. Jeg var på vej gennem dødsrigets port, som ville blive smækket i efter mig for evigt. Men Herre, du hørte min bøn og rev mig ud af dødens gab. 

8 Da alt håb var ude, vendte jeg mig til dig, Herre, og fra dit hellige tempel hørte du min bøn. 

9 De, som holder sig til falske guder, oplever ikke din trofasthed og nåde. 

10 Men det har jeg nu oplevet, og jeg vil takke dig med lovsang og ofre. Jeg vil indfri mine løfter til dig, for det er dig, Herre, der har magt til at redde.” 

11 Derefter sørgede Herren for, at fisken spyttede Jonas ud på strandbredden.

Jonas 2

English Standard Version

fra Crossway

Jonah’s Prayer

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

2 saying, “I called out to the Lord, out of my distress, and he answered me; out of the belly of Sheol I cried, and you heard my voice. (Salm 3,4; Salm 118,5; Salm 120,1; Klag 3,55; Klag 3,56) 

3 For you cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the flood surrounded me; all your waves and your billows passed over me. (Salm 42,7; Salm 88,6) 

4 Then I said, ‘I am driven away from your sight; yet I shall again look upon your holy temple.’ (1.Kong 8,35; 1.Kong 8,38; Salm 31,22) 

5 The waters closed in over me to take my life; the deep surrounded me; weeds were wrapped about my head (Salm 69,1; Klag 3,54) 

6 at the roots of the mountains. I went down to the land whose bars closed upon me forever; yet you brought up my life from the pit, O Lord my God. 

7 When my life was fainting away, I remembered the Lord, and my prayer came to you, into your holy temple. (2.Krøn 30,27) 

8 Those who pay regard to vain idols forsake their hope of steadfast love. (2.Kong 17,15; Salm 31,6; Jer 2,5; Jer 2,13) 

9 But I with the voice of thanksgiving will sacrifice to you; what I have vowed I will pay. Salvation belongs to the Lord!” (Salm 3,8; Salm 50,14; Hos 14,2; Heb 13,15) 

10 And the Lord spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah out upon the dry land.
