< Psalms 114 >
1 When Israel came out of Egypt, the children of Jacob from a people whose language was strange to them;
Israeli ilipotoka Misri, na nyumba ya Yakobo toka kutoka katika wale watu wa kigeni,
2 Judah became his holy place, and Israel his kingdom.
Yuda ilifanyika kuwa mahali pake patakatifu, Ufalme wa Israeli.
3 The sea saw it, and went in flight; Jordan was turned back.
Bahari iliona ikakimbia; Yordani ilirudi nyuma.
4 The mountains were jumping like goats, and the little hills like lambs.
Milima iliruka kama kondoo waume, vilima viliruka kama wana-kondoo.
5 What was wrong with you, O sea, that you went in flight? O Jordan, that you were turned back?
Ewe Bahari kwa nini ulikimbia? Yordani kwa nini ulirudi nyuma?
6 You mountains, why were you jumping like goats, and you little hills like lambs?
Milima, kwa nini uliruka kama kondoo waume? Enyi vilima wadogo, kwa nini mliruka kama wana-kondoo?
7 Be troubled, O earth, before the Lord, before the God of Jacob;
Tetemeka, ee nchi, mbele za Bwana, uweponi mwa Mungu wa Yakobo.
8 Who made the rock into a water-spring, and the hard stone into a fountain.
Aligeuza mwamba kuwa ziwa la maji, jiwe gumu kuwa chemchem.
