Psalms 114
1 When the Israeli [people] left Egypt, when they who were descendants of Jacob left people who spoke a foreign/different language,
| هنگامی که بنی‌اسرائیل از مصر بیرون آمدند، هنگامی که خاندان یعقوب آن سرزمین بیگانه را ترک گفتند، |
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 مکان مقدّس خداوند شد و اسرائیل محل سلطنت او. |
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].
| دریای سرخ، چون آمدن بنی‌اسرائیل را دید، از مقابل آنها گریخت و رود اردن به عقب برگشت. |
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 همچون قوچها، و تپه‌ها مانند بره‌ها به جست و خیز درآمدند. |
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 دریا، تو را چه شد که گریختی؟ ای رود اردن، چرا به عقب برگشتی؟ |
6 What happened that caused the mountains to skip like goats and caused the hills to jump around like lambs?”
| ای کوهها و تپه‌ها، چرا مثل قوچها و بره‌ها به جست و خیز درآمدید؟ |
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، بلرز! از حضور خداوندی که خدای یعقوب است؛ |
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!
| کسی که صخره را به دریاچهٔ آب تبدیل می‌کند و از سنگ خارا، چشمهٔ آب جاری می‌سازد. |
