Faarfannaa 114

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

When Israel left Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people who spoke a foreign language,

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

Judah became his holy place, Israel his kingdom.

3 Galaanni argee baqate; Yordaanosis duubatti deebiʼe;

The sea looked and fled; the Jordan turned back.

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

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

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

Why did you flee, sea? Jordan, why did you turn back?

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

Mountains, why did you skip like rams? You little hills, why did you skip like lambs?

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

Tremble, earth, before the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob.

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

He turned the rock into a pool of water, the hard rock into a spring of water.
