< Psalms 114 >

1 When Israel came out of Egypt, the children of Jacob from a people whose language was strange to them;
イスラエルがエジプトをいで、ヤコブの家が異言の民を離れたとき、
2 Judah became his holy place, and Israel his kingdom.
ユダは主の聖所となり、イスラエルは主の所領となった。
3 The sea saw it, and went in flight; Jordan was turned back.
海はこれを見て逃げ、ヨルダンはうしろに退き、
4 The mountains were jumping like goats, and the little hills like lambs.
山は雄羊のように踊り、小山は小羊のように踊った。
5 What was wrong with you, O sea, that you went in flight? O Jordan, that you were turned back?
海よ、おまえはどうして逃げるのか、ヨルダンよ、おまえはどうしてうしろに退くのか。
6 You mountains, why were you jumping like goats, and you little hills like lambs?
山よ、おまえたちはどうして雄羊のように踊るのか、小山よ、おまえたちはどうして小羊のように踊るのか。
7 Be troubled, O earth, before the Lord, before the God of Jacob;
地よ、主のみ前におののけ、ヤコブの神のみ前におののけ。
8 Who made the rock into a water-spring, and the hard stone into a fountain.
主は岩を池に変らせ、石を泉に変らせられた。
