Zaburi 114

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

When Israel went out of Egypt, Jacob’s house from a barbarous people,

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

God chose Judah for himself, Israel became his kingdom.

3 Bahari ilitazama ikakimbia, Yordani ulirudi nyuma,

The sea saw it, and fled, Jordan river ran backwards.

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

Mountains skipped like rams, hills like the young of the flock.

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

Why, sea, do you flee? Jordan, why run backwards?

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

Mountains, why skip ram-like? Why, hills, like the young of the flock?

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

Earth, tremble before the Lord, at the presence of Jacob’s God,

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

who turns rocks into pools of water, and flint into fountains of water.
