Psalms 114

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

Í árdaga, þegar Ísraelsmenn flúðu Egyptaland, land hinnar framandi tungu,

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.

varð Júda og Ísrael bústaður Guðs og ríki hans.

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].

Hafið rauða sá þá koma og hopaði. Og áin Jórdan, hún stöðvaðist svo að þeir gátu gengið yfir.

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.

Fjöllin hoppuðu eins og hrútar og hæðirnar sem lömb!

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?

Hvað olli því, þú rauða haf, að þú hopaðir til beggja hliða? Og hvers vegna, áin Jórdan, stöðvaðist rennsli þitt?

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

Og þið fjöll, hvers vegna hoppið þið eins og hrútar og þið hæðir sem lömb?

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])!

Nötra þú jörð frammi fyrir augliti Drottins, Guðs Jakobs,

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!

því að hann lét uppsprettu opnast á klettinum.
