Psalms 114

1 When Israel came out of Egypt, the children of Jacob from a people whose language was strange to them;

Lorsque qu’Israël sortit de l’Égypte, et la maison de Jacob du milieu d’un peuple barbare,

2 Judah became his holy place, and Israel his kingdom.

La Judée devint sa sanctification, et Israël son empire.

3 The sea saw it, and went in flight; Jordan was turned back.

La mer le vit, et s’enfuit, le Jourdain retourna en arrière.

4 The mountains were jumping like goats, and the little hills like lambs.

Les montagnes bondirent comme des béliers, et les collines comme des agneaux de brebis.

5 What was wrong with you, O sea, that you went in flight? O Jordan, that you were turned back?

Qu’as-tu, ô mer, que tu aies fui? et toi, Jourdain, que tu sois retourné en arrière?

6 You mountains, why were you jumping like goats, and you little hills like lambs?

Montagnes, pourquoi avez-vous bondi comme des béliers, et vous, collines, comme des agneaux de brebis?

7 Be troubled, O earth, before the Lord, before the God of Jacob;

La terre a été ébranlée à la face du Seigneur, à la face du Dieu de Jacob.

8 Who made the rock into a water-spring, and the hard stone into a fountain.

Qui convertit la pierre en étangs d’eaux, et le rocher en fontaines d’eaux.
