Sam 114

1 Kathutkung: Panuekhoeh Isarel hah Izip ram hoi a rasa teh, Jakop imthung hah lawk phunlouk koehoi a tâcokhai awh toteh,

When Israel departed from Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of foreign tongue,

2 Judah teh hmuen kathoung lah a coung. Isarel teh uknae lah a coung.

Judah became God’s sanctuary, and Israel His dominion.

3 Talîpui ni a hmu teh a yawng, Jordan palang teh a ban.

The sea observed and fled; the Jordan turned back;

4 Monnaw teh tutan patetlah, monruinaw teh tuca patetlah a coukdouk awh.

the mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs.

5 Oe talîpui bangdawkmaw na yawng, Oe Jordan palang, bangdawkmaw na ban.

Why was it, O sea, that you fled, O Jordan, that you turned back,

6 Oe monnaw bangdawkmaw tutan patetlah na coukdouk. Oe monruinaw bangdawkmaw tuca patetlah na coukdouk awh.

O mountains, that you skipped like rams, O hills, like lambs?

7 Oe talai, BAWIPA hmalah pâyaw nateh, Jakop Cathut hmalah pâyaw haw.

Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,

8 Ama teh, lungsong hah tuikamuem lah, lungtaw hah tuiphuek lah kacoungsakkung doeh.

who turned the rock into a pool, the flint into a fountain of water!
