Psalms 114

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

Ɛberɛ a Israelfoɔ firii Misraim, na Yakob fiefoɔ firii ananafoɔ asase so no,

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

Yuda bɛyɛɛ Awurade kronkronbea na Israel bɛyɛɛ nʼahemman.

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

Ɛpo no huruiɛ na ɛdwaneeɛ, Yordan sanee nʼakyi;

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

Mmepɔ hurihurii sɛ nnwennini nkokoɔ nso hurihurii sɛ nnwammaa.

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

Ɛdeɛn na ɛbaeɛ, Ao ɛpo, na wodwaneeɛ, Ao Yordan, na wosanee wʼakyi,

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

mo mmepɔ, na mohurihuri sɛ nnwennini, na mo nkokoɔ, mohurihuri sɛ nnwammaa?

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

Asase, ma wo ho mpopo wɔ Awurade anim, wɔ Yakob Onyankopɔn anim,

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

ɔno na ɔmaa ɔbotan no danee asubura, na abotan a ɛyɛ den danee nsuwa nsuwa no.
