Psalms 114

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

Pada waktu Israel keluar dari Mesir, kaum keturunan Yakub dari bangsa yang asing bahasanya,

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.

maka Yehuda menjadi tempat kudus-Nya, Israel wilayah kekuasaan-Nya.

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].

Laut melihatnya, lalu melarikan diri, sungai Yordan berbalik ke hulu.

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.

Gunung-gunung melompat-lompat seperti domba jantan, dan bukit-bukit seperti anak domba.

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?

Ada apa, hai laut, sehingga engkau melarikan diri, hai sungai Yordan, sehingga engkau berbalik ke hulu,

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

hai gunung-gunung, sehingga kamu melompat-lompat seperti domba jantan, hai bukit-bukit, sehingga kamu seperti anak domba?

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])!

Gemetarlah, hai bumi, di hadapan TUHAN, di hadapan Allah Yakub,

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!

yang mengubah gunung batu menjadi kolam air, dan batu yang keras menjadi mata air!
