Salmos 114

1 Cuando Israel salió de Egipto, los hijos de Jacob de un pueblo cuyo idioma les era extraño;

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

2 Judá se convirtió en su lugar santo, e Israel su reino.

[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 El mar lo vio y se fue en vuelo; Jordan fue rechazado.

[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 Las montañas saltaban como cabras, y las pequeñas colinas como corderos.

[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 ¿Qué te sucedió, oh mar, que fuiste a volar? O Jordan, que fuiste devuelto?

[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 Ustedes montañas, ¿por qué saltaron como cabras, y sus pequeñas colinas como corderos?

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

7 Sé ha turbado, tierra, delante de Jehová, delante del Dios de Jacob;

[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 Que hizo la roca en un manantial de agua, y la piedra dura en una fuente.

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!
