Psalms 114

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

Kane jo-Israel owuok Misri, ee, kane joka Jakobo owuok e kind joma wacho dhok mopogore,

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.

Juda nodoko kama ler mar lemo mar Nyasaye, kendo Israel nobedo mwandune owuon.

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].

Nam nonenogi mi oa gi ngʼwech, kendo Jordan ne odar oweyonigi piny,

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.

gode nolengʼore ka imbe, to thuche to nochikore ka nyirombe.

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?

Angʼo momiyo ne ia gi ngʼwech, yaye nam? Yaye Jordan, ne idar iweyonegi piny nangʼo?

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

To un gode to ne ulengʼoru ka imbe nangʼo? Koso thuche to nochikore ka nyirombe nikech angʼo?

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])!

Yaye piny, yiengni ka Ruoth Nyasaye ni machiegni kodi, yiengni e nyim Nyasach Jakobo,

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!

Nyasaye mane omiyo lwanda olokore pi mogudore, kendo mane omiyo lwanda matek olokore sokni mag pi.
