Mga Salmo 114

1 Sa dihang mibiya ang Israel sa Ehipto, ang balay ni Jacob gikan niadtong langyaw nga katawhan,

When the Israeli [people] left Egypt, when they who were descendants of Jacob left people who spoke a foreign/different language,

2 nahimo niyang balaang dapit ang Juda, ang Israel iyang gingharian.

[the land of] Judah became the place where people worshiped God; and Israel became the land (OR, the [Israeli people] became the people) that he ruled over.

3 Ang dagat nakakita ug mikalagiw; mitalikod ang Jordan.

[When they came to] the [Red] Sea, [it was as though the water] saw [them] and ran away! When they came to the Jordan [River], that [water in the] river stopped flowing [so that the Israelis could cross it].

4 Ang kabukiran milukso sama sa mga laking karnero, ang kabungtoran milukso sama sa nating karnero.

[When they came to Sinai Mountain and there was a big earthquake], [it was as though] the mountains skipped/jumped like goats do and the hills jumped around like lambs do.

5 Dagat, nganong mikalagiw ka man? Jordan, nganong mitalikod ka man?

[If someone asks], “What happened at the [Red] Sea that caused the water to run away? What happened that caused [the water in] the Jordan [River] to stop flowing?

6 Kabukiran, nganong milukso man kamo sama sa laking mga karnero? Kamong gagmay nga mga bungtod, nganong milukso man kamo sama sa mga nating karnero?

What happened that caused the mountains to skip like goats and caused the hills to jump around like lambs?”

7 Pangurog, kalibotan, sa atubangan sa Ginoo, sa presensya sa Dios ni Jacob.

[I would reply that] it was the presence of the Lord that caused those things to happen! [Everyone/Everything on] the earth should tremble in the presence of God, whom (Jacob [worshiped]/the Israeli people [worship])!

8 Gihimo niyang linaw ang dakong bato, ang gahi nga bato ngadto sa tuboran sa tubig.

He is the one who caused pools of water [for the Israeli people to drink to flow] from a rock; he caused a spring [to flow] from a solid rock cliff!
