Psalms 114

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

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

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

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

3 The sea observed and fled; the Jordan turned back;

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

4 the mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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