Psalms 114

1 When the Israeli [people] left Egypt, when they who were descendants of Jacob left people who spoke a foreign/different language,

Israel loe Izip prae thung hoiah tacawt, Jakob ih imthung takoh loe kalah prae kaminawk khae hoiah angzoh naah,

2 [the land of] Judah became the place where people worshiped God; and Israel became the land (OR, the [Israeli people] became the people) that he ruled over.

Judah loe angmah ih hmuenciim ah oh, Israel loe a ukhaih prae ah oh.

3 [When they came to] the [Red] Sea, [it was as though the water] saw [them] and ran away! When they came to the Jordan [River], that [water in the] river stopped flowing [so that the Israelis could cross it].

Tuipui mah Sithaw to hnuk naah, cawnh ving; Jordan vapui loe amlaem let.

4 [When they came to Sinai Mountain and there was a big earthquake], [it was as though] the mountains skipped/jumped like goats do and the hills jumped around like lambs do.

Maenawk loe tuu taenawk baktih, maesomnawk loe tuu caanawk baktiah angphet o.

5 [If someone asks], “What happened at the [Red] Sea that caused the water to run away? What happened that caused [the water in] the Jordan [River] to stop flowing?

Aw tuipui nang, tipongah na cawnh ving, Aw Jordan vapui nang, tipongah nam laem let loe?

6 What happened that caused the mountains to skip like goats and caused the hills to jump around like lambs?”

Nangcae maenawk, tipongah tuu taenawk baktih, nangcae maesomnawk, tipongah tuu caanawk baktiah nang phet o loe?

7 [I would reply that] it was the presence of the Lord that caused those things to happen! [Everyone/Everything on] the earth should tremble in the presence of God, whom (Jacob [worshiped]/the Israeli people [worship])!

Aw long nang, Angraeng hmaa hoi Jakob ih Sithaw hmaa ah, tasoeh ah,

8 He is the one who caused pools of water [for the Israeli people to drink to flow] from a rock; he caused a spring [to flow] from a solid rock cliff!

Anih mah lungsong to tuili ah, kamtak thlung to tuibap tui ah angcoengsak boeh.
