Psalms 114

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

Bere a Israelfo fii Misraim, na Yakobfifo fii ananafo asase so no,

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

Yuda bɛyɛɛ Awurade kronkronbea na Israel bɛyɛɛ nʼaheman.

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

Po no hwɛe, na eguanee, Yordan san nʼakyi;

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

Mmepɔw huruhuruwii sɛ adwennini, nkoko nso huruhuruwii sɛ nguantenmma.

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

Dɛn na ɛbae, ɛpo, na wuguanee? Yordan, adɛn, na wosan wʼakyi?

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

Mmepɔw, adɛn, na muhuruhuruw sɛ adwennini, na mo nkoko, muhuruhuruw sɛ nguantenmma yi?

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

Asase, ma wo ho mpopo wɔ Awurade anim, wɔ Yakob Nyankopɔn anim,

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

ɔno na ɔmaa ɔbotan no dan asubura, na ɔbotan dennen dan nsuwa aniwa no.
