Sabuurradii 114

1 Markay reer binu Israa'iil Masar ka soo bexeen, Oo ay reerkii Yacquub dad af qalaad ka soo bexeen,

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

2 Ayaa Yahuudah noqday meeshiisa quduuska ah, Israa'iilna noqday meeshuu u talinayay.

God chose Judah for himself, Israel became his kingdom.

3 Baddii way aragtay, wayna carartay, Webi Urdunna dib baa loo celiyey.

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

4 Buurihii waxay u boodboodeen sidii wanan, Kurihiina sidii baraar.

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

5 Baddoy, bal maxaa kugu dhacay oo aad u cararaysaa? Webi Urdunow, maxaad dib ugu noqonaysaa?

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

6 Buurahow, bal maxaad ugu boodboodaysaan sida wanan? Kuraha yaryarow, bal maxaad ugu boodboodaysaan sida baraar?

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

7 Dhulkow, ku gariir Sayidka hortiisa, Ilaaha reer Yacquub hortiisa ku gariir,

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

8 Kaas oo dhagaxii u beddelay balli biyo ah, Oo dhagaxmadowgiina u beddelay il biyo ah.

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