< Psalms 114 >
1 When Israel came forth out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;
Lè pèp Izrayèl la te soti nan peyi Lejip, lè pitit pitit Jakòb yo te kite peyi etranje yo,
2 Judah became His sanctuary, Israel His dominion.
Bondye chwazi branch fanmi Jida a pou pèp li, moun Izrayèl yo pou byen pa l'.
3 The sea saw it, and fled; the Jordan turned backward.
Lè Lanmè Wouj la wè l', li pran kouri san gad dèyè. Larivyè Jouden sispann koule desann.
4 The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like young sheep.
Mòn yo sote ponpe tankou bouk kabrit, ti mòn yo sote ponpe tankou ti mouton.
5 What aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleest? thou Jordan, that thou turnest backward?
Kisak pase ou, lanmè, kifè ou pran kouri konsa? Ou menm larivyè Jouden, kisak rive ou kifè ou sispann koule?
6 Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams; ye hills, like young sheep?
Nou menm mòn yo, sa nou genyen pou n'ap sote ponpe konsa tankou bouk kabrit? Nou menm ti mòn yo, poukisa n'ap sote ponpe tankou ti mouton?
7 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;
Ou menm latè, tranble devan Seyè a, devan Bondye Jakòb la.
8 Who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
Se li menm ki fè gwo wòch la tounen yon basen dlo, li fè wòch la tounen yon sous dlo.
