Waiata 114

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

When Israel came forth from Egypt, The house of Jacob from a people of strange language,

2 Ko Hura tona wahi tapu, ko Iharaira tona rangatiratanga.

Judah was his sanctuary, And Israel his dominion.

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

The sea beheld, and fled; The Jordan turned back.

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

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

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

What aileth thee, O thou sea! that thou fleest? Thou, Jordan, that thou runnest back?

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

Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams, And ye hills like lambs?

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

Tremble, O earth! at the presence of the Lord, At the presence of the God of Jacob;

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

Who turned the rock into a standing lake, And the flint into a fountain of water!
