Nnwom 114

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

Alleluia. At the going forth of Israel from Egypt, of the house of Jacob from a barbarous people,

2 Yuda bɛyɛɛ Awurade kronkronbea na Israel bɛyɛɛ nʼahemman.

Judea became his sanctuary, [and] 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 lambs.

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

What [ailed] you, O sea, that you fled? and you Jordan, that you were turned back?

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

[You] mountains, that you skipped like rams, and [you] hills, like lambs?

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

The earth trembled 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 pools of water, and the flint into fountains of water.
