Psalms 114

1 When Israel left Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people who spoke a foreign language,

I te putanga mai o Iharaira i Ihipa, o te whare o Hakopa i te iwi reo ke,

2 Judah became his holy place, Israel his kingdom.

Ko Hura tona wahi tapu, ko Iharaira tona rangatiratanga.

3 The sea looked and fled; the Jordan turned back.

I kite te moana, a whati ana: i whakahokia ki muri a Horano.

4 The mountains skipped like rams, the hills skipped like lambs.

Pekepeke ana nga maunga ano he hipi toa, nga pukepuke ano he reme.

5 Why did you flee, sea? Jordan, why did you turn back?

I ahatia koe, e te moana, i whati ai koe e Horano, i whakahokia ai koe ki muri?

6 Mountains, why did you skip like rams? You little hills, why did you skip like lambs?

E nga maunga, i pekepeke ai koutou ano he hipi toa; e nga pukepuke, ano he reme?

7 Tremble, earth, before the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob.

E wiri, e te whenua, i te aroaro o te Ariki; i te aroaro o te Atua o Hakopa;

8 He turned the rock into a pool of water, the hard rock into a spring of water.

I meinga ai te toka hei hopua wai; te kiripaka hei puna wai.
