< Psalms 114 >
1 When Israel went forth out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of a strange language:
Kathutkung: Panuekhoeh Isarel hah Izip ram hoi a rasa teh, Jakop imthung hah lawk phunlouk koehoi a tâcokhai awh toteh,
2 Judah became his sanctuary, [and] Israel his dominion.
Judah teh hmuen kathoung lah a coung. Isarel teh uknae lah a coung.
3 The sea beheld it, and fled: the Jordan was driven backward.
Talîpui ni a hmu teh a yawng, Jordan palang teh a ban.
4 The mountains skipped like wethers, the hills like lambs.
Monnaw teh tutan patetlah, monruinaw teh tuca patetlah a coukdouk awh.
5 What aileth thee, O sea, that thou fleest? thou, O Jordan, that thou art driven backward?
Oe talîpui bangdawkmaw na yawng, Oe Jordan palang, bangdawkmaw na ban.
6 Ye mountains, that ye skip like wethers? ye hills, like lambs?
Oe monnaw bangdawkmaw tutan patetlah na coukdouk. Oe monruinaw bangdawkmaw tuca patetlah na coukdouk awh.
7 At the presence of the Lord tremble, O earth, at the presence of the God of Jacob;
Oe talai, BAWIPA hmalah pâyaw nateh, Jakop Cathut hmalah pâyaw haw.
8 Who changeth the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of water.
Ama teh, lungsong hah tuikamuem lah, lungtaw hah tuiphuek lah kacoungsakkung doeh.
