< Psalms 114 >
1 Nígbà tí Israẹli jáde ní Ejibiti, ilé Jakọbu láti inú ènìyàn àjèjì èdè
When Israel went out of Egypt, Jacob’s house from a barbarous people,
2 Juda wà ní ibi mímọ́, Israẹli wà ní ìjọba.
God chose Judah for himself, Israel became his kingdom.
3 Òkun sì rí i, ó sì wárìrì: Jordani sì padà sẹ́yìn.
The sea saw it, and fled, Jordan river ran backwards.
4 Àwọn òkè ńlá ń fò bí àgbò àti òkè kéékèèké bí ọ̀dọ́-àgùntàn.
Mountains skipped like rams, hills like the young of the flock.
5 Kí ni ó ṣe ọ́, ìwọ Òkun, tí ìwọ fi wárìrì? Ìwọ Jordani, tí ìwọ fi padà sẹ́yìn?
Why, sea, do you flee? Jordan, why run backwards?
6 Ẹ̀yin òkè ńlá kí ló dé ti ẹ fi ń fò bí àgbò, àti ẹ̀yin òkè kéékèèké bí ọ̀dọ́-àgùntàn?
Mountains, why skip ram-like? Why, hills, like the young of the flock?
7 Wárìrì, ìwọ ilẹ̀, níwájú Olúwa; ní iwájú Ọlọ́run Jakọbu
Earth, tremble before the Lord, at the presence of Jacob’s God,
8 tí ó sọ àpáta di adágún omi, àti òkúta-ìbọn di orísun omi.
who turns rocks into pools of water, and flint into fountains of water.
