Psalms 114

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

Israeli ilipotoka Misri, na nyumba ya Yakobo toka kutoka katika wale watu wa kigeni,

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

Yuda ilifanyika kuwa mahali pake patakatifu, Ufalme wa Israeli.

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

Bahari iliona ikakimbia; Yordani ilirudi nyuma.

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

Milima iliruka kama kondoo waume, vilima viliruka kama wana-kondoo.

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

Ewe Bahari kwa nini ulikimbia? Yordani kwa nini ulirudi nyuma?

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

Milima, kwa nini uliruka kama kondoo waume? Enyi vilima wadogo, kwa nini mliruka kama wana-kondoo?

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

Tetemeka, ee nchi, mbele za Bwana, uweponi mwa Mungu wa Yakobo.

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

Aligeuza mwamba kuwa ziwa la maji, jiwe gumu kuwa chemchem.
