< Psalms 114 >

1 When Israel went forth out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language,
عِنْدَ خُرُوجِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ مِصْرَ، وَآلِ يَعْقُوبَ مِنْ بَيْنِ شَعْبٍ غَرِيبِ اللِّسَانِ.١
2 Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.
صَارَ يَهُوذَا هَيْكَلاً مُقَدَّساً لَهُ، وَإِسْرَائِيلُ مَقَرَّ سُلْطَانِهِ.٢
3 The sea saw it, and fled. The Jordan was driven back.
رَأَى الْبَحْرُ الأَحْمَرُ ذَلِكَ فَهَرَبَ، وَتَرَاجَعَ نَهْرُ الأُرْدُنِّ إِلَى الْوَرَاءِ.٣
4 The mountains skipped like rams, the little hills like lambs.
قَفَزَتِ الْجِبَالُ كَأَنَّهَا كِبَاشٌ، وَالتِّلالُ كَأَنَّهَا حُمْلانٌ.٤
5 What ails thee, O thou sea, that thou flee? Thou Jordan, that thou turn back?
مَالَكَ يَا بَحْرُ قَدْ هَرَبْتَ، وَيَا أُرْدُنُّ قَدْ رَجَعْتَ إِلَى الْوَرَاءِ؟٥
6 Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams, ye little hills, like lambs?
مَالَكِ يَا جِبَالُ تَقْفِزِينَ كَالْكِبَاشِ، وَيَا تِلالُ كَالْحُمْلانِ؟٦
7 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,
تَزَلْزَلِي يَا أَرْضُ فِي حَضْرَةِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِ يَعْقُوبَ.٧
8 who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
الَّذِي حَوَّلَ الصَّخْرَةَ إِلَى جَدَاوِلَ، وَالصَّوَّانَ إِلَى يَنَابِيعِ مِيَاهٍ.٨
