Sabuurradii 114

1 Markay reer binu Israa'iil Masar ka soo bexeen, Oo ay reerkii Yacquub dad af qalaad ka soo bexeen,

When Israel departed from Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of foreign tongue,

2 Ayaa Yahuudah noqday meeshiisa quduuska ah, Israa'iilna noqday meeshuu u talinayay.

Judah became God’s sanctuary, and Israel His dominion.

3 Baddii way aragtay, wayna carartay, Webi Urdunna dib baa loo celiyey.

The sea observed and fled; the Jordan turned back;

4 Buurihii waxay u boodboodeen sidii wanan, Kurihiina sidii baraar.

the mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs.

5 Baddoy, bal maxaa kugu dhacay oo aad u cararaysaa? Webi Urdunow, maxaad dib ugu noqonaysaa?

Why was it, O sea, that you fled, O Jordan, that you turned back,

6 Buurahow, bal maxaad ugu boodboodaysaan sida wanan? Kuraha yaryarow, bal maxaad ugu boodboodaysaan sida baraar?

O mountains, that you skipped like rams, O hills, like lambs?

7 Dhulkow, ku gariir Sayidka hortiisa, Ilaaha reer Yacquub hortiisa ku gariir,

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

8 Kaas oo dhagaxii u beddelay balli biyo ah, Oo dhagaxmadowgiina u beddelay il biyo ah.

who turned the rock into a pool, the flint into a fountain of water!
