Psalmi 114

1 Aleluja! Kad izađe Izrael iz Egipta i kuća Jakovljeva iz naroda barbarskog,

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

2 Judeja mu posta svetište, a Izrael kraljevstvo njegovo.

[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 Vidje more i uzmače, a Jordan ustuknu.

[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 Bregovi skakahu poput ovnova i brežuljci poput jaganjaca.

[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 Što ti je, more, da uzmičeš? Jordane, zašto natrag okrećeš?

[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 Bregovi, zašto skačete poput ovnova i vi, brežuljci, poput jaganjaca?

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

7 Dršći, zemljo, pred licem Gospodnjim, pred licem Boga Jakovljeva.

[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 On hrid pretvara u slap vodeni i stijenu u izvor vode.

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!
