Psalms 114

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

Då Israel drog ut or Egyptarland, Jakobs hus frå eit folk med framand tunga,

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

då vart Juda hans heilagdom, Israel hans rike.

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

Havet såg det og flydde, Jordan drog seg attende.

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

Fjelli hoppa som verar, haugarne som lamb.

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

Kva hev hendt deg, hav, at du flyr? du Jordan, at du dreg deg attende?

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

de fjell, at de hoppar som verar, de haugar som lamb?

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

For Herrens åsyn må du skjelva, jord, for Jakobs Guds åsyn!

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

Han som gjer berget til ein sjø, harde steinen til ei vatskjelda.
