< Psalms 114 >
1 When Israel came out of Egypt, the children of Jacob from a people whose language was strange to them;
Egypt lamloh Israel, kholong ol cal pilnam lamloh Jakob imkhui ha pai vaengah;
2 Judah became his holy place, and Israel his kingdom.
A hmuencim la Judah, a khohung la Israel a om pah.
3 The sea saw it, and went in flight; Jordan was turned back.
Tuitunli loh a hmuh vaengah rhaelrham tih, Jordan khaw a hnuk la mael.
4 The mountains were jumping like goats, and the little hills like lambs.
Tlang rhoek khaw som rhoek kah tutal rhoek neh, boiva ca bangla na cungpet uh.
5 What was wrong with you, O sea, that you went in flight? O Jordan, that you were turned back?
Tuitunli nang te bahamnim na rhaelrham, Jordan long khaw a hnuk la na mael?
6 You mountains, why were you jumping like goats, and you little hills like lambs?
Tlang rhoek khaw som rhoek kah tutal rhoek neh, boiva ca bangla na cungpet uh.
7 Be troubled, O earth, before the Lord, before the God of Jacob;
Diklai nang Boeipa mikhmuh neh, Jakob Pathen mikhmuh ah thuen lah.
8 Who made the rock into a water-spring, and the hard stone into a fountain.
Anih loh lungpang te tuibap tui la, hmailung khaw tuisih tui la a coeng sak.
