Zaburi 114

1 Israeli ilipotoka Misri, na nyumba ya Yakobo toka kutoka katika wale watu wa kigeni,

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

2 Yuda ilifanyika kuwa mahali pake patakatifu, Ufalme wa Israeli.

God chose Judah for himself, Israel became his kingdom.

3 Bahari iliona ikakimbia; Yordani ilirudi nyuma.

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

4 Milima iliruka kama kondoo waume, vilima viliruka kama wana-kondoo.

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

5 Ewe Bahari kwa nini ulikimbia? Yordani kwa nini ulirudi nyuma?

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

6 Milima, kwa nini uliruka kama kondoo waume? Enyi vilima wadogo, kwa nini mliruka kama wana-kondoo?

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

7 Tetemeka, ee nchi, mbele za Bwana, uweponi mwa Mungu wa Yakobo.

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

8 Aligeuza mwamba kuwa ziwa la maji, jiwe gumu kuwa chemchem.

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