Psalms 114

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

I te putanga mai o Iharaira i Ihipa, o te whare o Hakopa i te iwi reo ke,

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

Ko Hura tona wahi tapu, ko Iharaira tona rangatiratanga.

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

I kite te moana, a whati ana: i whakahokia ki muri a Horano.

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

Pekepeke ana nga maunga ano he hipi toa, nga pukepuke ano he reme.

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

I ahatia koe, e te moana, i whati ai koe e Horano, i whakahokia ai koe ki muri?

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

E nga maunga, i pekepeke ai koutou ano he hipi toa; e nga pukepuke, ano he reme?

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

E wiri, e te whenua, i te aroaro o te Ariki; i te aroaro o te Atua o Hakopa;

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

I meinga ai te toka hei hopua wai; te kiripaka hei puna wai.
