Psalms 114

1 At the time of the exodus of Israel from Egypt, when the descendants of Jacob left that foreign country,

Egypt lamloh Israel, kholong ol cal pilnam lamloh Jakob imkhui ha pai vaengah;

2 the land of Judah became the Lord's sanctuary, Israel his kingdom.

A hmuencim la Judah, a khohung la Israel a om pah.

3 The Red Sea saw them and ran away; the Jordan River retreated.

Tuitunli loh a hmuh vaengah rhaelrham tih, Jordan khaw a hnuk la mael.

4 Mountains jumped in fright like rams, hills startled like lambs.

Tlang rhoek khaw som rhoek kah tutal rhoek neh, boiva ca bangla na cungpet uh.

5 Red Sea—why did you run away? Jordan River—why did you retreat?

Tuitunli nang te bahamnim na rhaelrham, Jordan long khaw a hnuk la na mael?

6 Mountains—why did you jump in fright? Hills—why did you startle like lambs?

Tlang rhoek khaw som rhoek kah tutal rhoek neh, boiva ca bangla na cungpet uh.

7 Earth, tremble in the presence of the Lord, tremble in the presence of the God of Jacob!

Diklai nang Boeipa mikhmuh neh, Jakob Pathen mikhmuh ah thuen lah.

8 He is the one who turned the rock into a pool of water; making water flow from the hard rock.

Anih loh lungpang te tuibap tui la, hmailung khaw tuisih tui la a coeng sak.
