Psalms 114

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

Ɛberɛ a Israelfoɔ firii Misraim, na Yakob fiefoɔ firii ananafoɔ asase so no,

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.

Yuda bɛyɛɛ Awurade kronkronbea na Israel bɛyɛɛ nʼahemman.

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].

Ɛpo no huruiɛ na ɛdwaneeɛ, Yordan sanee nʼakyi;

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.

Mmepɔ hurihurii sɛ nnwennini nkokoɔ nso hurihurii sɛ nnwammaa.

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?

Ɛdeɛn na ɛbaeɛ, Ao ɛpo, na wodwaneeɛ, Ao Yordan, na wosanee wʼakyi,

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

mo mmepɔ, na mohurihuri sɛ nnwennini, na mo nkokoɔ, mohurihuri sɛ nnwammaa?

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])!

Asase, ma wo ho mpopo wɔ Awurade anim, wɔ Yakob Onyankopɔn anim,

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!

ɔno na ɔmaa ɔbotan no danee asubura, na abotan a ɛyɛ den danee nsuwa nsuwa no.
