Nnwom 114

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

When Israel left Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people who spoke a foreign language,

2 Yuda bɛyɛɛ Awurade kronkronbea na Israel bɛyɛɛ nʼahemman.

Judah became his holy place, Israel his kingdom.

3 Ɛpo no huruiɛ na ɛdwaneeɛ, Yordan sanee nʼakyi;

The sea looked and fled; the Jordan turned back.

4 Mmepɔ hurihurii sɛ nnwennini nkokoɔ nso hurihurii sɛ nnwammaa.

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

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

Why did you flee, sea? Jordan, why did you turn back?

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

Mountains, why did you skip like rams? You little hills, why did you skip like lambs?

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

Tremble, earth, before 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.

He turned the rock into a pool of water, the hard rock into a spring of water.
