Psalms 114

1 When Israel went out of Egypt, Jacob’s house from a barbarous people,

Ie niakatse e Mitsraime t’Israele, ty anjomba’ Iakobe boak’ am’ondaty hafa fisaontsio

2 God chose Judah for himself, Israel became his kingdom.

le nanoe’e toetse miavake t’Iehodà naho boriza’e t’Israele.

3 The sea saw it, and fled, Jordan river ran backwards.

Nañente i riakey, le nibioñe, nimpoly t’Iordane;

4 Mountains skipped like rams, hills like the young of the flock.

Nitrekotreko hoe añondrilahy o vohitseo, hoe anak-añondry o tambohoo.

5 Why, sea, do you flee? Jordan, why run backwards?

Akore, ry riakeo te mibioñe? ry Iordane, te miesoñe?

6 Mountains, why skip ram-like? Why, hills, like the young of the flock?

ry vohitseo, te mitsamboatsamboañe hoe añondrilahy, ry tamboho, hoe anak-añondry?

7 Earth, tremble before the Lord, at the presence of Jacob’s God,

Mihondrahondrà, ry tane toy, añatrefa’ i Talè, aolo’ i Andrianañahare’ Iakobey,

8 who turns rocks into pools of water, and flint into fountains of water.

ie nampañova ty vato ho sihanake, i lamilamiy ho rano mifororoake.
