Jonas beder til Gud og oplever Guds nåde
2 I mellemtiden havde Herren ordnet det sådan, at en stor fisk slugte Jonas. Jonas var inde i fisken i tre dage,[a] 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,[b]
for det er dig, Herre, der har magt til at redde.”
11 Derefter sørgede Herren for, at fisken spyttede Jonas ud på strandbredden.

Jonah 2
New International Version
2 1 [a]From inside the fish Jonah prayed to the Lord his God. 2 He said:
“In my distress I called(A) to the Lord,(B)
and he answered me.
From deep in the realm of the dead(C) I called for help,
and you listened to my cry.
3 You hurled me into the depths,(D)
into the very heart of the seas,
and the currents swirled about me;
all your waves(E) and breakers
swept over me.(F)
4 I said, ‘I have been banished
from your sight;(G)
yet I will look again
toward your holy temple.’(H)
5 The engulfing waters threatened me,[b]
the deep surrounded me;
seaweed was wrapped around my head.(I)
6 To the roots of the mountains(J) I sank down;
the earth beneath barred me in forever.
But you, Lord my God,
brought my life up from the pit.(K)
7 “When my life was ebbing away,
I remembered(L) you, Lord,
and my prayer(M) rose to you,
to your holy temple.(N)
8 “Those who cling to worthless idols(O)
turn away from God’s love for them.
9 But I, with shouts of grateful praise,(P)
will sacrifice(Q) to you.
What I have vowed(R) I will make good.
I will say, ‘Salvation(S) comes from the Lord.’”
10 And the Lord commanded the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.

Jonah's Prayer
2 Then Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from the belly of the fish, 2 saying,
(A)“I called out to the Lord, out of my distress,
and he answered me;
(B)out of the belly of Sheol I cried,
(C)and you heard my voice.
3 (D)For you cast me into the deep,
into the heart of the seas,
and the flood surrounded me;
(E)all your breakers and your waves
passed over me.
4 (F)Then I said, ‘I am driven away
from your sight;
(G)yet I shall again look
upon your holy temple.’
5 (H)The waters closed in over me (I)to take my life;
the deep surrounded me;
weeds were wrapped about my head.
6 To 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,
(J)and my prayer came to you,
into your holy temple.
8 (K)Those who pay regard to vain idols
(L)forsake their hope of steadfast love.
9 (M)But I with the voice of thanksgiving
will sacrifice to you;
what I have vowed I will pay.
(N)Salvation belongs to the Lord!”
10 And the Lord spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah out upon the dry land.
