Psalms 114

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

Mgbe ụmụ Izrel si nʼala Ijipt pụta, mgbe ezinaụlọ Jekọb sitekwara nʼebe ndị asụsụ ha dị iche pụta,

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

Juda ghọrọ ebe nsọ Chineke, Izrel ghọrọ ala ọ na-achị.

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

Osimiri hụrụ ya, gbaa ọsọ, osimiri Jọdan hụkwara ya chigharịa laa azụ;

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

Ugwu ukwu niile wụliri elu dịka ebule; ugwu nta niile wụlikwara elu dịka ụmụ atụrụ.

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

Gịnị mere gị oke osimiri, i ji na-agba ọsọ? Osimiri Jọdan, gịnị na-eme gị i ji chigharịa laa azụ?

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

Gịnị na-eme unu, ugwu ukwu niile unu ji na-awụli elu dịka ụmụ ebule? Gịnị na-emekwa unu, ugwu nta niile, unu ji na-awụli elu dịka ụmụ atụrụ?

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

Ka ụwa niile maa jijiji nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, ka ọ maakwa jijiji nʼihu Chineke nke Jekọb,

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

onye mere ka oke nkume ghọọ ọdọ mmiri, onye mere ka ọmụ nkume ghọọ isi iyi mmiri.
