Psalms 114

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

Ɛberɛ a Israelfoɔ firii Misraim, na Yakob fiefoɔ firii ananafoɔ asase so no,

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

Yuda bɛyɛɛ Awurade kronkronbea na Israel bɛyɛɛ nʼahemman.

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

Ɛpo no huruiɛ na ɛdwaneeɛ, Yordan sanee nʼakyi;

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

Mmepɔ hurihurii sɛ nnwennini nkokoɔ nso hurihurii sɛ nnwammaa.

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

Ɛdeɛn na ɛbaeɛ, Ao ɛpo, na wodwaneeɛ, Ao Yordan, na wosanee wʼakyi,

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

mo mmepɔ, na mohurihuri sɛ nnwennini, na mo nkokoɔ, mohurihuri sɛ nnwammaa?

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 Onyankopɔn 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 danee asubura, na abotan a ɛyɛ den danee nsuwa nsuwa no.
