Zaburi 114

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

At the time of the exodus of Israel from Egypt, when the descendants of Jacob left that foreign country,

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

the land of Judah became the Lord's sanctuary, Israel his kingdom.

3 Bahari iliona ikakimbia; Yordani ilirudi nyuma.

The Red Sea saw them and ran away; the Jordan River retreated.

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

Mountains jumped in fright like rams, hills startled like lambs.

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

Red Sea—why did you run away? Jordan River—why did you retreat?

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

Mountains—why did you jump in fright? Hills—why did you startle like lambs?

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

Earth, tremble in the presence of the Lord, tremble in the presence of the God of Jacob!

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

He is the one who turned the rock into a pool of water; making water flow from the hard rock.
