Psalms 114

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

Wakati Israeli walipotoka Misri, nyumba ya Yakobo kutoka kwa watu wa lugha ngeni,

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

Yuda alifanywa makao matakatifu ya Mungu, Israeli akawa milki yake.

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

Bahari ilitazama ikakimbia, Yordani ulirudi nyuma,

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

milima ilirukaruka kama kondoo dume, vilima kama wana-kondoo.

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

Ee bahari, ni nini kilichokufanya ukakimbia, nawe, ee Yordani, ukarudi nyuma,

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

enyi milima mkarukaruka kama kondoo dume, enyi vilima, kama wana-kondoo?

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

Ee dunia, tetemeka mbele za Bwana, mbele za Mungu wa Yakobo,

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

aliyegeuza mwamba kuwa dimbwi la maji, mwamba mgumu kuwa chemchemi za maji.
