Psalms 114

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

Izip qam awhkawng Israel a law awh, qapchang amsim awi ak paukhqi a venawh kawng Jakob ipkhuikaw a law awh,

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

Judah ce Khawsa hun ciim na coeng nawh, Israel ce amah a ukkung na awm hy.

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

Tuicun ing toek nawh cen hy, Jordan tui a hu na hlat tlaih hy;

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

tlangkhqi ing tumcaikhqi amyihna, tlangkhqi ing tuucakhqi amyihna pet doep doep uhy.

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

Aw tuicun nang, kawtih cen nawh, Aw Jordan long nang, kawtih hu na nang hlat tlaih,

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

nangmih thlangkhqi, kawtih tumcaikhqi amyihna, nangmih tlangkhqi, kawtih tuu cakhqi amyihna naming pet doep doep?

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

Aw khawmdek, Bawipa haiawh, Jakob Khawsa haiawh thyn lah,

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

anih ing lungnu ce tui im na coeng sak nawh, lunkqil ce lawngca tui na lawng sak hy.
