Nnwom 114

1 Bere a Israelfo fii Misraim, na Yakobfifo fii ananafo asase so no,

When Israel came forth from Egypt, The house of Jacob from a people of strange language,

2 Yuda bɛyɛɛ Awurade kronkronbea na Israel bɛyɛɛ nʼaheman.

Judah was his sanctuary, And Israel his dominion.

3 Po no hwɛe, na eguanee, Yordan san nʼakyi;

The sea beheld, and fled; The Jordan turned back.

4 Mmepɔw huruhuruwii sɛ adwennini, nkoko nso huruhuruwii sɛ nguantenmma.

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

5 Dɛn na ɛbae, ɛpo, na wuguanee? Yordan, adɛn, na wosan wʼakyi?

What aileth thee, O thou sea! that thou fleest? Thou, Jordan, that thou runnest back?

6 Mmepɔw, adɛn, na muhuruhuruw sɛ adwennini, na mo nkoko, muhuruhuruw sɛ nguantenmma yi?

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

7 Asase, ma wo ho mpopo wɔ Awurade anim, wɔ Yakob Nyankopɔn anim,

Tremble, O earth! at the presence of the Lord, At the presence of the God of Jacob;

8 ɔno na ɔmaa ɔbotan no dan asubura, na ɔbotan dennen dan nsuwa aniwa no.

Who turned the rock into a standing lake, And the flint into a fountain of water!
