Zaburi 114

1 Wakati Israeli walipotoka Misri, nyumba ya Yakobo kutoka kwa watu wa lugha ngeni,

When Israel came out of Egypt, the children of Jacob from a people whose language was strange to them;

2 Yuda alifanywa makao matakatifu ya Mungu, Israeli akawa milki yake.

Judah became his holy place, and Israel his kingdom.

3 Bahari ilitazama ikakimbia, Yordani ulirudi nyuma,

The sea saw it, and went in flight; Jordan was turned back.

4 milima ilirukaruka kama kondoo dume, vilima kama wana-kondoo.

The mountains were jumping like goats, and the little hills like lambs.

5 Ee bahari, ni nini kilichokufanya ukakimbia, nawe, ee Yordani, ukarudi nyuma,

What was wrong with you, O sea, that you went in flight? O Jordan, that you were turned back?

6 enyi milima mkarukaruka kama kondoo dume, enyi vilima, kama wana-kondoo?

You mountains, why were you jumping like goats, and you little hills like lambs?

7 Ee dunia, tetemeka mbele za Bwana, mbele za Mungu wa Yakobo,

Be troubled, O earth, before the Lord, before the God of Jacob;

8 aliyegeuza mwamba kuwa dimbwi la maji, mwamba mgumu kuwa chemchemi za maji.

Who made the rock into a water-spring, and the hard stone into a fountain.
