Zaburi 114

1 Israeli ilipotoka Misri, na nyumba ya Yakobo toka kutoka katika wale watu wa kigeni,

When Israel departed from Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of foreign tongue,

2 Yuda ilifanyika kuwa mahali pake patakatifu, Ufalme wa Israeli.

Judah became God’s sanctuary, and Israel His dominion.

3 Bahari iliona ikakimbia; Yordani ilirudi nyuma.

The sea observed and fled; the Jordan turned back;

4 Milima iliruka kama kondoo waume, vilima viliruka kama wana-kondoo.

the mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs.

5 Ewe Bahari kwa nini ulikimbia? Yordani kwa nini ulirudi nyuma?

Why was it, O sea, that you fled, O Jordan, that you turned back,

6 Milima, kwa nini uliruka kama kondoo waume? Enyi vilima wadogo, kwa nini mliruka kama wana-kondoo?

O mountains, that you skipped like rams, O hills, like lambs?

7 Tetemeka, ee nchi, mbele za Bwana, uweponi mwa Mungu wa Yakobo.

Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,

8 Aligeuza mwamba kuwa ziwa la maji, jiwe gumu kuwa chemchem.

who turned the rock into a pool, the flint into a fountain of water!
