Psalms 114

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

Israeli ilipotoka Misri, na nyumba ya Yakobo toka kutoka katika wale watu wa kigeni,

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

Yuda ilifanyika kuwa mahali pake patakatifu, Ufalme wa Israeli.

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

Bahari iliona ikakimbia; Yordani ilirudi nyuma.

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

Milima iliruka kama kondoo waume, vilima viliruka kama wana-kondoo.

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

Ewe Bahari kwa nini ulikimbia? Yordani kwa nini ulirudi nyuma?

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

Milima, kwa nini uliruka kama kondoo waume? Enyi vilima wadogo, kwa nini mliruka kama wana-kondoo?

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

Tetemeka, ee nchi, mbele za Bwana, uweponi mwa Mungu wa Yakobo.

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

Aligeuza mwamba kuwa ziwa la maji, jiwe gumu kuwa chemchem.
