Faarfannaa 114

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

When Israel went forth out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of foreign language;

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

Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

3 Galaanni argee baqate; Yordaanosis duubatti deebiʼe;

The sea saw it, and fled. The Jordan was driven back.

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

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

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

What was it, you sea, that you fled? You Jordan, that you turned back?

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

You mountains, that you skipped like rams; you little hills, like lambs?

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

Tremble, you earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,

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

who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a spring of waters.
