< Psalms 114 >
1 When Israel went forth out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;
Rĩrĩa Isiraeli moimire bũrũri wa Misiri, nyũmba ya Jakubu ĩkiuma kũrĩ andũ a rũthiomi rũngĩ-rĩ,
2 Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.
Juda gwatuĩkire handũ ha Ngai haamũre, na Isiraeli gũgĩtuĩka nĩkuo arĩathanaga.
3 The sea saw it, and fled; Jordan was driven back.
Iria rĩonire ũguo rĩkĩũra, naruo Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani rũgĩcooka na thuutha;
4 The mountains skipped like rams, the little hills like young sheep.
Irĩma igĩtũhatũũha ta ndũrũme, natuo tũrĩma tũgĩtũhatũũha ta tũgondu.
5 What aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleest? thou Jordan, that thou turnest back?
Kaĩ wonire atĩa, wee iria, nĩguo ũre, nawe Jorodani, tondũ wacookire na thuutha?
6 Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams; ye little hills, like young sheep?
Inyuĩ irĩma, muonete kĩ, nĩguo mũtũhatũũhe ta ndũrũme, na inyuĩ tũrĩma, nĩguo mũtũhatũũhe ta tũgondu?
7 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;
Wee thĩ, ta kĩinaine ũrĩ mbere ya Mwathani, ũrĩ hau mbere ya Ngai ũcio wa Jakubu,
8 Which turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
o we ũcio wagarũrire rwaro rwa ihiga rũgĩtuĩka karia ka maaĩ, narĩo ihiga rĩũmũ rĩgĩtuĩka ithima cia maaĩ.
