< Psalms 114 >

1 When the Israeli [people] left Egypt, when they who were descendants of Jacob left people who spoke a foreign/different language,
وقتی که اسرائیل از مصر بیرون آمدند، و خاندان یعقوب از قوم اجنبی زبان،۱
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.
یهودا مقدس او بود و اسرائیل محل سلطنت وی.۲
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].
دریا این را بدید و گریخت واردن به عقب برگشت.۳
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.
کوهها مثل قوچها به جستن درآمدند و تلها مثل بره های گله.۴
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?
‌ای دریاتو را چه شد که گریختی؟ و‌ای اردن که به عقب برگشتی؟۵
6 What happened that caused the mountains to skip like goats and caused the hills to jump around like lambs?”
‌ای کوهها که مثل قوچها به جستن درآمدید و‌ای تلها که مثل بره های گله.۶
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])!
‌ای زمین از حضور خداوند متزلزل شو و از حضور خدای یعقوب.۷
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!
که صخره را دریاچه آب گردانید وسنگ خارا را چشمه آب.۸
