Nnwom 114

1 Ɛberɛ a Israelfoɔ firii Misraim, na Yakob fiefoɔ firii ananafoɔ 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 nʼahemman.

Judah was his sanctuary, And Israel his dominion.

3 Ɛpo no huruiɛ na ɛdwaneeɛ, Yordan sanee nʼakyi;

The sea beheld, and fled; The Jordan 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 aileth thee, O thou sea! that thou fleest? Thou, Jordan, that thou runnest back?

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

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

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

Tremble, O 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 standing lake, And the flint into a fountain of water!
