Zaburi 114

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

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

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

Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

3 Bahari ilitazama ikakimbia, Yordani ulirudi nyuma,

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

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

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

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

What was it, you sea, that you fled? You Jordan, that you turned back?

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

You mountains, that you skipped like rams; 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.

who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a spring of waters.
