< Psalms 114 >

1 At the time of the exodus of Israel from Egypt, when the descendants of Jacob left that foreign country,
Lè Israël te sòti an Égypte, lakay Jacob soti de yon pèp lang etranje,
2 the land of Judah became the Lord's sanctuary, Israel his kingdom.
Juda te vin sanktiyè Li a, Israël, wayòm Li.
3 The Red Sea saw them and ran away; the Jordan River retreated.
Lanmè a te gade e te sove ale. Jourdain an te vire fè bak.
4 Mountains jumped in fright like rams, hills startled like lambs.
Mòn yo te sote tankou belye, kolin yo tankou ti mouton.
5 Red Sea—why did you run away? Jordan River—why did you retreat?
Sa k pase ou menm, O lanmè, ke ou te sove ale konsa? O Jourdain an, ke Ou te vire fè bak konsa?
6 Mountains—why did you jump in fright? Hills—why did you startle like lambs?
O mòn yo, ke ou sote tankou belye konsa? O kolin yo, tankou ti mouton konsa?
7 Earth, tremble in the presence of the Lord, tremble in the presence of the God of Jacob!
Pran tranble, O latè, devan SENYÈ a, Devan Bondye a Jacob la,
8 He is the one who turned the rock into a pool of water; making water flow from the hard rock.
Ki te fè wòch la devni yon ma dlo, wòch silèks la yon sous k ap koule.
