1 ਜਦ ਇਸਰਾਏਲ ਮਿਸਰ ਵਿੱਚੋਂ ਨਿੱਕਲਿਆ, ਯਾਕੂਬ ਦਾ ਘਰਾਣਾ ਇੱਕ ਓਪਰੀ ਬੋਲੀ ਦੇ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਤੋਂ,
When the Israeli [people] left Egypt, when they who were descendants of Jacob left people who spoke a foreign/different language,
2 ਤਾਂ ਯਹੂਦਾਹ ਉਹ ਦਾ ਪਵਿੱਤਰ ਸਥਾਨ, ਇਸਰਾਏਲ ਉਹ ਦਾ ਰਾਜ ਹੋਇਆ।
[the land of] Judah became the place where people worshiped God; and Israel became the land (OR, the [Israeli people] became the people) that he ruled over.
3 ਸਮੁੰਦਰ ਨੇ ਡਿੱਠਾ ਤੇ ਨੱਠਾ, ਯਰਦਨ ਉਲਟੀ ਵਗੀ!
[When they came to] the [Red] Sea, [it was as though the water] saw [them] and ran away! When they came to the Jordan [River], that [water in the] river stopped flowing [so that the Israelis could cross it].
4 ਪਰਬਤ ਛੱਤ੍ਰਿਆਂ ਵਾਂਗੂੰ ਟੱਪਦੇ ਸਨ, ਪਹਾੜੀਆਂ ਲੇਲਿਆਂ ਵਾਂਗੂੰ।
[When they came to Sinai Mountain and there was a big earthquake], [it was as though] the mountains skipped/jumped like goats do and the hills jumped around like lambs do.
5 ਹੇ ਸਮੁੰਦਰ, ਤੈਨੂੰ ਕੀ ਹੋਇਆ ਕਿ ਤੂੰ ਨੱਠਦਾ ਹੈਂ? ਤੂੰ, ਯਰਦਨ, ਕਿਉਂ ਉਲਟੀ ਵਗਦੀ ਹੈਂ?
[If someone asks], “What happened at the [Red] Sea that caused the water to run away? What happened that caused [the water in] the Jordan [River] to stop flowing?
6 ਹੇ ਪਹਾੜੋ, ਤੁਸੀਂ ਛੱਤ੍ਰਿਆਂ ਵਾਂਗੂੰ, ਹੇ ਪਹਾੜੀਓ, ਤੁਸੀਂ ਲੇਲਿਆਂ ਵਾਂਗੂੰ ਕਿਉਂ ਟੱਪਦੇ ਹੋ?
What happened that caused the mountains to skip like goats and caused the hills to jump around like lambs?”
7 ਹੇ ਧਰਤੀ, ਪ੍ਰਭੂ ਦੇ ਹਜ਼ੂਰ, ਯਾਕੂਬ ਦੇ ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਦੇ ਸਨਮੁਖ ਕੰਬ,
[I would reply that] it was the presence of the Lord that caused those things to happen! [Everyone/Everything on] the earth should tremble in the presence of God, whom (Jacob [worshiped]/the Israeli people [worship])!
8 ਜਿਸ ਨੇ ਚੱਟਾਨ ਨੂੰ ਪਾਣੀ ਦਾ ਛੰਭ, ਚਕਮਕ ਦੇ ਪੱਥਰ ਨੂੰ ਪਾਣੀ ਦਾ ਚਸ਼ਮਾ ਬਣਾ ਛੱਡਿਆ ਹੈ।
He is the one who caused pools of water [for the Israeli people to drink to flow] from a rock; he caused a spring [to flow] from a solid rock cliff!
