مزامیر 114

1 هنگامی که بنی‌اسرائیل از مصر بیرون آمدند، هنگامی که خاندان یعقوب آن سرزمین بیگانه را ترک گفتند،

When the Israeli [people] left Egypt, when they who were descendants of Jacob left people who spoke a foreign/different language,

2 یهودا مکان مقدّس خداوند شد و اسرائیل محل سلطنت او.

[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 دریای سرخ، چون آمدن بنی‌اسرائیل را دید، از مقابل آنها گریخت و رود اردن به عقب برگشت.

[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 کوهها همچون قوچها، و تپه‌ها مانند بره‌ها به جست و خیز درآمدند.

[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 ای دریا، تو را چه شد که گریختی؟ ای رود اردن، چرا به عقب برگشتی؟

[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 ای کوهها و تپه‌ها، چرا مثل قوچها و بره‌ها به جست و خیز درآمدید؟

What happened that caused the mountains to skip like goats and caused the hills to jump around like lambs?”

7 ای زمین، بلرز! از حضور خداوندی که خدای یعقوب است؛

[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 کسی که صخره را به دریاچهٔ آب تبدیل می‌کند و از سنگ خارا، چشمهٔ آب جاری می‌سازد.

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!
