Faarfannaa 114

1 Yeroo sabni Israaʼel biyya Gibxii, manni Yaaqoobis saba afaan ormaa dubbatu keessaa baʼetti,

When Israel came out of Egypt, the children of Jacob from a people whose language was strange to them;

2 Yihuudaan mana qulqullummaa Waaqaa, Israaʼel immoo bulchiinsa isaa taʼe.

Judah became his holy place, and Israel his kingdom.

3 Galaanni argee baqate; Yordaanosis duubatti deebiʼe;

The sea saw it, and went in flight; Jordan was turned back.

4 tulluuwwan akka korbeeyyii hoolaa, gaarranis akkuma xobbaallaawwan hoolaa burraaqan.

The mountains were jumping like goats, and the little hills like lambs.

5 Yaa galaana, ati maaliif baqatte? Yaa Yordaanos, atis maaliif duubatti deebite?

What was wrong with you, O sea, that you went in flight? O Jordan, that you were turned back?

6 Yaa tulluuwwan, isin maaliif akka korbeeyyii hoolaa, yaa gaarran isinis maaliif akka xobbaallaawwan hoolaa burraaqxu?

You mountains, why were you jumping like goats, and you little hills like lambs?

7 Yaa lafa, fuula Gooftaa duratti, fuula Waaqa Yaaqoob duratti holladhu;

Be troubled, O earth, before the Lord, before the God of Jacob;

8 inni kattaa gara harootti, kattaa jabaa immoo gara burqaa bishaaniitti geeddare.

Who made the rock into a water-spring, and the hard stone into a fountain.
