Tingtoeng 114

1 Egypt lamloh Israel, kholong ol cal pilnam lamloh Jakob imkhui ha pai vaengah;

When Israel went forth out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of a strange language:

2 A hmuencim la Judah, a khohung la Israel a om pah.

Judah became his sanctuary, [and] Israel his dominion.

3 Tuitunli loh a hmuh vaengah rhaelrham tih, Jordan khaw a hnuk la mael.

The sea beheld it, and fled: the Jordan was driven backward.

4 Tlang rhoek khaw som rhoek kah tutal rhoek neh, boiva ca bangla na cungpet uh.

The mountains skipped like wethers, the hills like lambs.

5 Tuitunli nang te bahamnim na rhaelrham, Jordan long khaw a hnuk la na mael?

What aileth thee, O sea, that thou fleest? thou, O Jordan, that thou art driven backward?

6 Tlang rhoek khaw som rhoek kah tutal rhoek neh, boiva ca bangla na cungpet uh.

Ye mountains, that ye skip like wethers? ye hills, like lambs?

7 Diklai nang Boeipa mikhmuh neh, Jakob Pathen mikhmuh ah thuen lah.

At the presence of the Lord tremble, O earth, at the presence of the God of Jacob;

8 Anih loh lungpang te tuibap tui la, hmailung khaw tuisih tui la a coeng sak.

Who changeth the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of water.
