भजन संहिता 114

1 १ जब इस्राएल ने मिस्र से, अर्थात् याकूब के घराने ने अन्य भाषावालों के मध्य से कूच किया,

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

2 २ तब यहूदा यहोवा का पवित्रस्थान और इस्राएल उसके राज्य के लोग हो गए।

[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.

3 ३ समुद्र देखकर भागा, यरदन नदी उलटी बही।

[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].

4 ४ पहाड़ मेढ़ों के समान उछलने लगे, और पहाड़ियाँ भेड़-बकरियों के बच्चों के समान उछलने लगीं।

[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.

5 ५ हे समुद्र, तुझे क्या हुआ, कि तू भागा? और हे यरदन तुझे क्या हुआ कि तू उलटी बही?

[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?

6 ६ हे पहाड़ों, तुम्हें क्या हुआ, कि तुम भेड़ों के समान, और हे पहाड़ियों तुम्हें क्या हुआ, कि तुम भेड़-बकरियों के बच्चों के समान उछलीं?

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

7 ७ हे पृथ्वी प्रभु के सामने, हाँ, याकूब के परमेश्वर के सामने थरथरा।

[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])!

8 ८ वह चट्टान को जल का ताल, चकमक के पत्थर को जल का सोता बना डालता है।

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!
