Nnwom 114

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

When Israel came forth out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;

2 Yuda bɛyɛɛ Awurade kronkronbea na Israel bɛyɛɛ nʼahemman.

Judah became His sanctuary, Israel His dominion.

3 Ɛpo no huruiɛ na ɛdwaneeɛ, Yordan sanee nʼakyi;

The sea saw it, and fled; the Jordan turned backward.

4 Mmepɔ hurihurii sɛ nnwennini nkokoɔ nso hurihurii sɛ nnwammaa.

The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like young sheep.

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

What aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleest? thou Jordan, that thou turnest backward?

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

Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams; ye hills, like young sheep?

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

Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, 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 a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
