< Psalms 114 >
1 When Israel left Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people who spoke a foreign language,
Tango Isalaele abimaki wuta na Ejipito, tango libota ya Jakobi elongwaki na ekolo ya bapaya,
2 Judah became his holy place, Israel his kingdom.
Yuda ekomaki Esika ya bule ya Yawe, mpe Isalaele ekomaki mabele na Ye.
3 The sea looked and fled; the Jordan turned back.
Ebale monene emonaki yango mpe ekimaki, mayi ya Yordani ezongaki na sima,
4 The mountains skipped like rams, the hills skipped like lambs.
bangomba epumbwaki lokola bameme, bangomba mike epumbwaki lokola bana ya ntaba.
5 Why did you flee, sea? Jordan, why did you turn back?
Ebale monene, nini ezalaki kati na yo mpo ete okima? Yordani, mpo na nini ozongaki na sima?
6 Mountains, why did you skip like rams? You little hills, why did you skip like lambs?
Bino bangomba, mpo nini bopumbwaki lokola bameme? Bongo bino bangomba mike, mpo na nini bopumbwaki lokola bana ya ntaba?
7 Tremble, earth, before the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob.
Mokili, lenga liboso ya Yawe, liboso ya Nzambe ya Jakobi,
8 He turned the rock into a pool of water, the hard rock into a spring of water.
oyo abongolaka libanga monene liziba, mpe libanga etima.
