< Psalms 114 >
1 When Israel came out of Egypt, the children of Jacob from a people whose language was strange to them;
Rĩrĩa Isiraeli moimire bũrũri wa Misiri, nyũmba ya Jakubu ĩkiuma kũrĩ andũ a rũthiomi rũngĩ-rĩ,
2 Judah became his holy place, and Israel his kingdom.
Juda gwatuĩkire handũ ha Ngai haamũre, na Isiraeli gũgĩtuĩka nĩkuo arĩathanaga.
3 The sea saw it, and went in flight; Jordan was turned back.
Iria rĩonire ũguo rĩkĩũra, naruo Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani rũgĩcooka na thuutha;
4 The mountains were jumping like goats, and the little hills like lambs.
Irĩma igĩtũhatũũha ta ndũrũme, natuo tũrĩma tũgĩtũhatũũha ta tũgondu.
5 What was wrong with you, O sea, that you went in flight? O Jordan, that you were turned back?
Kaĩ wonire atĩa, wee iria, nĩguo ũre, nawe Jorodani, tondũ wacookire na thuutha?
6 You mountains, why were you jumping like goats, and you little hills like lambs?
Inyuĩ irĩma, muonete kĩ, nĩguo mũtũhatũũhe ta ndũrũme, na inyuĩ tũrĩma, nĩguo mũtũhatũũhe ta tũgondu?
7 Be troubled, O earth, before the Lord, before the God of Jacob;
Wee thĩ, ta kĩinaine ũrĩ mbere ya Mwathani, ũrĩ hau mbere ya Ngai ũcio wa Jakubu,
8 Who made the rock into a water-spring, and the hard stone into a fountain.
o we ũcio wagarũrire rwaro rwa ihiga rũgĩtuĩka karia ka maaĩ, narĩo ihiga rĩũmũ rĩgĩtuĩka ithima cia maaĩ.
