< Psalms 114 >
1 When Israel came out of Egypt, the children of Jacob from a people whose language was strange to them;
Ie niakatse e Mitsraime t’Israele, ty anjomba’ Iakobe boak’ am’ondaty hafa fisaontsio
2 Judah became his holy place, and Israel his kingdom.
le nanoe’e toetse miavake t’Iehodà naho boriza’e t’Israele.
3 The sea saw it, and went in flight; Jordan was turned back.
Nañente i riakey, le nibioñe, nimpoly t’Iordane;
4 The mountains were jumping like goats, and the little hills like lambs.
Nitrekotreko hoe añondrilahy o vohitseo, hoe anak-añondry o tambohoo.
5 What was wrong with you, O sea, that you went in flight? O Jordan, that you were turned back?
Akore, ry riakeo te mibioñe? ry Iordane, te miesoñe?
6 You mountains, why were you jumping like goats, and you little hills like lambs?
ry vohitseo, te mitsamboatsamboañe hoe añondrilahy, ry tamboho, hoe anak-añondry?
7 Be troubled, O earth, before the Lord, before the God of Jacob;
Mihondrahondrà, ry tane toy, añatrefa’ i Talè, aolo’ i Andrianañahare’ Iakobey,
8 Who made the rock into a water-spring, and the hard stone into a fountain.
ie nampañova ty vato ho sihanake, i lamilamiy ho rano mifororoake.
