Zaburi 114

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

When Israel came forth from 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 beheld, and fled; The Jordan 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 aileth thee, O thou sea! that thou fleest? Thou, Jordan, that thou runnest back?

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

Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams, And ye hills like lambs?

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

Tremble, O 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 standing lake, And the flint into a fountain of water!
