اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 114
| عِنْدَ خُرُوجِ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ مِصْرَ، وَبَيْتِ يَعْقُوبَ مِنْ شَعْبٍ أَعْجَمَ، | ١ 1 |
When the Israeli [people] left Egypt, when they who were descendants of Jacob left people who spoke a foreign/different language,
| كَانَ يَهُوذَا مَقْدِسَهُ، وَإِسْرَائِيلُ مَحَلَّ سُلْطَانِهِ. | ٢ 2 |
[the land of] Judah became the place where people worshiped God; and Israel became the land (OR, the [Israeli people] became the people) that he ruled over.
| ٱلْبَحْرُ رَآهُ فَهَرَبَ. ٱلْأُرْدُنُّ رَجَعَ إِلَى خَلْفٍ. | ٣ 3 |
[When they came to] the [Red] Sea, [it was as though the water] saw [them] and ran away! When they came to the Jordan [River], that [water in the] river stopped flowing [so that the Israelis could cross it].
| ٱلْجِبَالُ قَفَزَتْ مِثْلَ ٱلْكِبَاشِ، وَٱلْآكَامُ مِثْلَ حُمْلَانِ ٱلْغَنَمِ. | ٤ 4 |
[When they came to Sinai Mountain and there was a big earthquake], [it was as though] the mountains skipped/jumped like goats do and the hills jumped around like lambs do.
| مَا لَكَ أَيُّهَا ٱلْبَحْرُ قَدْ هَرَبْتَ ؟ وَمَا لَكَ أَيُّهَا ٱلْأُرْدُنُّ قَدْ رَجَعْتَ إِلَى خَلْفٍ ؟ | ٥ 5 |
[If someone asks], “What happened at the [Red] Sea that caused the water to run away? What happened that caused [the water in] the Jordan [River] to stop flowing?
| وَمَا لَكُنَّ أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْجِبَالُ قَدْ قَفَزْتُنَّ مِثْلَ ٱلْكِبَاشِ، وَأَيَّتُهَا ٱلتِّلَالُ مِثْلَ حُمْلَانِ ٱلْغَنَمِ؟ | ٦ 6 |
What happened that caused the mountains to skip like goats and caused the hills to jump around like lambs?”
| أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْأَرْضُ تَزَلْزَلِي مِنْ قُدَّامِ ٱلرَّبِّ، مِنْ قُدَّامِ إِلَهِ يَعْقُوبَ! | ٧ 7 |
[I would reply that] it was the presence of the Lord that caused those things to happen! [Everyone/Everything on] the earth should tremble in the presence of God, whom (Jacob [worshiped]/the Israeli people [worship])!
| ٱلْمُحَوِّلِ ٱلصَّخْرَةَ إِلَى غُدْرَانِ مِيَاهٍ، ٱلصَّوَّانَ إِلَى يَنَابِيعِ مِيَاهٍ. | ٨ 8 |
He is the one who caused pools of water [for the Israeli people to drink to flow] from a rock; he caused a spring [to flow] from a solid rock cliff!
