Faarfannaa 114

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

At the time of the exodus of Israel from Egypt, when the descendants of Jacob left that foreign country,

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

the land of Judah became the Lord's sanctuary, Israel his kingdom.

3 Galaanni argee baqate; Yordaanosis duubatti deebiʼe;

The Red Sea saw them and ran away; the Jordan River retreated.

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

Mountains jumped in fright like rams, hills startled like lambs.

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

Red Sea—why did you run away? Jordan River—why did you retreat?

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

Mountains—why did you jump in fright? Hills—why did you startle like lambs?

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

Earth, tremble in the presence of the Lord, tremble in the presence of the God of Jacob!

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

He is the one who turned the rock into a pool of water; making water flow from the hard rock.
