< Psalms 114 >
1 When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of foreign language,
Israeli ilipotoka Misri, na nyumba ya Yakobo toka kutoka katika wale watu wa kigeni,
2 Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.
Yuda ilifanyika kuwa mahali pake patakatifu, Ufalme wa Israeli.
3 The sea saw it, and fled. The Jordan was driven back.
Bahari iliona ikakimbia; Yordani ilirudi nyuma.
4 The mountains skipped like rams, the little hills like lambs.
Milima iliruka kama kondoo waume, vilima viliruka kama wana-kondoo.
5 What was it, you sea, that you fled? You Jordan, that you turned back?
Ewe Bahari kwa nini ulikimbia? Yordani kwa nini ulirudi nyuma?
6 You mountains, that you skipped like rams? You little hills, like lambs?
Milima, kwa nini uliruka kama kondoo waume? Enyi vilima wadogo, kwa nini mliruka kama wana-kondoo?
7 Tremble, you earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,
Tetemeka, ee nchi, mbele za Bwana, uweponi mwa Mungu wa Yakobo.
8 who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a spring of waters.
Aligeuza mwamba kuwa ziwa la maji, jiwe gumu kuwa chemchem.
