Psalms 114

1 When the Israeli [people] left Egypt, when they who were descendants of Jacob left people who spoke a foreign/different language,

イスラエルの民エジプトをいで ヤコブのいへ異言の民をはなれしとき

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.

ユダはヱホバの聖所となりイスラエルはヱホバの所領となれり

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].

海はこれを見てにげヨルダンは後にしりぞき

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.

山は牡羊のごとくをどり小山はこひつじのごとく躍れり

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?

海よなんぢ何とてにぐるやヨルダンよなんぢ何とて後にしりぞくや

6 What happened that caused the mountains to skip like goats and caused the hills to jump around like lambs?”

山よなにとて牡羊のごとくをどるや小山よなにとて小羊のごとく躍るや

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])!

地よ主のみまへヤコブの神の前にをののけ

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!

主はいはを池にかはらせ石をいづみに變らせたまへり
