Zaburi 114

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

When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;

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

Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion.

3 Bahari ilitazama ikakimbia, Yordani ulirudi nyuma,

The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back.

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

The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs.

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

What ailed you, O you sea, that you fled? you Jordan, that you were driven back?

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

All of you mountains, that all of you skipped like rams; and all of you little hills, like lambs?

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

Tremble, you earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;

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

Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
