Saam 114

1 Israel loe Izip prae thung hoiah tacawt, Jakob ih imthung takoh loe kalah prae kaminawk khae hoiah angzoh naah,

When Israel came out of Egypt, the children of Jacob from a people whose language was strange to them;

2 Judah loe angmah ih hmuenciim ah oh, Israel loe a ukhaih prae ah oh.

Judah became his holy place, and Israel his kingdom.

3 Tuipui mah Sithaw to hnuk naah, cawnh ving; Jordan vapui loe amlaem let.

The sea saw it, and went in flight; Jordan was turned back.

4 Maenawk loe tuu taenawk baktih, maesomnawk loe tuu caanawk baktiah angphet o.

The mountains were jumping like goats, and the little hills like lambs.

5 Aw tuipui nang, tipongah na cawnh ving, Aw Jordan vapui nang, tipongah nam laem let loe?

What was wrong with you, O sea, that you went in flight? O Jordan, that you were turned back?

6 Nangcae maenawk, tipongah tuu taenawk baktih, nangcae maesomnawk, tipongah tuu caanawk baktiah nang phet o loe?

You mountains, why were you jumping like goats, and you little hills like lambs?

7 Aw long nang, Angraeng hmaa hoi Jakob ih Sithaw hmaa ah, tasoeh ah,

Be troubled, O earth, before the Lord, before the God of Jacob;

8 Anih mah lungsong to tuili ah, kamtak thlung to tuibap tui ah angcoengsak boeh.

Who made the rock into a water-spring, and the hard stone into a fountain.
