Psalms 114

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

KA hale o Iakoha hoi, mai waena aku o na kanaka olelo e;

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.

O Iuda no kona keenakapu, A o Iseraela kona aupuni.

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].

Ike mai la ke kai, a holo aku la; A huli hope o Ioredane.

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.

Lelele ae la na mauna e like me na hipakane, A me na puu hoi e like me na keikihipa.

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?

Heaha kau, e ke kai, i holo aku ai oe? E Ioredane hoi, i hoohuliia'i oe ihope?

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

E na mauna, i lelele ai oukou e like me na hipakane? A me na puu hoi e like me na keikihipa?

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])!

E naueue oe, e ka honua, imua o ka Haku, Imua hoi o ke Akua o Iakoha.

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!

Ka mea i hoolilo i ka pohaku, i wai lana, A me ka pohaku paea, i punawai.
