Psalms 114

1 When Israel departed from Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of foreign tongue,

1 Wakati Israeli walipotoka Misri, nyumba ya Yakobo kutoka kwa watu wa lugha ngeni,

2 Judah became God’s sanctuary, Israel His dominion.

2 Yuda alifanywa makao matakatifu ya Mungu, Israeli akawa milki yake.

3 The sea observed and fled; the Jordan turned back;

3 Bahari ilitazama ikakimbia, Yordani ulirudi nyuma,

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

4 milima ilirukaruka kama kondoo dume, vilima kama wana-kondoo.

5 Why was it, O sea, that you fled, O Jordan, that you turned back,

5 Ee bahari, ni nini kilichokufanya ukakimbia, nawe, ee Yordani, ukarudi nyuma,

6 O mountains, that you skipped like rams, O hills, like lambs?

6 enyi milima mkarukaruka kama kondoo dume, enyi vilima, kama wana-kondoo?

7 Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,

7 Ee dunia, tetemeka mbele za Bwana, mbele za Mungu wa Yakobo,

8 who turned the rock into a pool, the flint into a fountain of water!

8 aliyegeuza mwamba kuwa dimbwi la maji, mwamba mgumu kuwa chemchemi za maji.
