Psalms 114

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

Izip qam awhkawng Israel a law awh, qapchang amsim awi ak paukhqi a venawh kawng Jakob ipkhuikaw a law awh,

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 ce Khawsa hun ciim na coeng nawh, Israel ce amah a ukkung na awm hy.

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].

Tuicun ing toek nawh cen hy, Jordan tui a hu na hlat tlaih hy;

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.

tlangkhqi ing tumcaikhqi amyihna, tlangkhqi ing tuucakhqi amyihna pet doep doep uhy.

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 tuicun nang, kawtih cen nawh, Aw Jordan long nang, kawtih hu na nang hlat tlaih,

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

nangmih thlangkhqi, kawtih tumcaikhqi amyihna, nangmih tlangkhqi, kawtih tuu cakhqi amyihna naming pet doep doep?

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 khawmdek, Bawipa haiawh, Jakob Khawsa haiawh thyn lah,

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 ing lungnu ce tui im na coeng sak nawh, lunkqil ce lawngca tui na lawng sak hy.
