< Zaburi 114 >
1 Wakati Israeli walipotoka Misri, nyumba ya Yakobo kutoka kwa watu wa lugha ngeni,
Alleluia. At the going forth of Israel from Egypt, of the house of Jacob from a barbarous people,
2 Yuda alifanywa makao matakatifu ya Mungu, Israeli akawa milki yake.
Judea became his sanctuary, [and] Israel his dominion.
3 Bahari ilitazama ikakimbia, Yordani ulirudi nyuma,
The sea saw and fled: Jordan was turned back.
4 milima ilirukaruka kama kondoo dume, vilima kama wana-kondoo.
The mountains skipped like rams, and the hills like lambs.
5 Ee bahari, ni nini kilichokufanya ukakimbia, nawe, ee Yordani, ukarudi nyuma,
What [ailed] you, O sea, that you fled? and you Jordan, that you were turned back?
6 enyi milima mkarukaruka kama kondoo dume, enyi vilima, kama wana-kondoo?
[You] mountains, that you skipped like rams, and [you] hills, like lambs?
7 Ee dunia, tetemeka mbele za Bwana, mbele za Mungu wa Yakobo,
The earth trembled 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.
who turned the rock into pools of water, and the flint into fountains of water.
