Nnwom 114

1 Ɛberɛ a Israelfoɔ firii Misraim, na Yakob fiefoɔ firii ananafoɔ asase so no,

When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a barbarous people:

2 Yuda bɛyɛɛ Awurade kronkronbea na Israel bɛyɛɛ nʼahemman.

Judea made his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

3 Ɛpo no huruiɛ na ɛdwaneeɛ, Yordan sanee nʼakyi;

The sea saw and fled: Jordan was turned back.

4 Mmepɔ hurihurii sɛ nnwennini nkokoɔ nso hurihurii sɛ nnwammaa.

The mountains skipped like rams, and the hills like the lambs of the flock.

5 Ɛdeɛn na ɛbaeɛ, Ao ɛpo, na wodwaneeɛ, Ao Yordan, na wosanee wʼakyi,

What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou didst flee: and thou, O Jordan, that thou wast turned back?

6 mo mmepɔ, na mohurihuri sɛ nnwennini, na mo nkokoɔ, mohurihuri sɛ nnwammaa?

Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams, and ye hills, like lambs of the flock?

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

At the presence of the Lord the earth was moved, at the presence of the God of Jacob:

8 ɔno na ɔmaa ɔbotan no danee asubura, na abotan a ɛyɛ den danee nsuwa nsuwa no.

Who turned the rock into pools of water, and the stony hill into fountains of waters.
