গীতসংহিতা 114

1 ১ যখন ইস্রায়েল মিশর থেকে চলে এল, যাকোবের বংশ বিদেশী লোক থেকে,

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

2 ২ যিহূদা হল তার ধর্মস্থান, ইস্রায়েল হল তাঁর রাজ্য।

[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.

3 ৩ সমুদ্র দেখল এবং পালিয়ে গেল, যর্দ্দন ফিরে এল।

[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].

4 ৪ পর্বতরা মেষের মতো লাফ দিলো, পাহাড়রা লাফ দিল মেষশাবকের মতো।

[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.

5 ৫ কেন তুমি পালিয়ে গেলে সমুদ্র? যর্দ্দন, কেন তুমি ফিরে এলে?

[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?

6 ৬ পর্বতরা, কেন তোমরা মেষের মতো লাফ দিলে? ছোটো পর্বতেরা, কেন তোমরা মেষশাবকের মতো লাফ দিলে?

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

7 ৭ পৃথিবী, প্রভুর সামনে, যাকোবের ঈশ্বরের সামনে কেঁপে ওঠ।

[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])!

8 ৮ তিনি শিলাকে পুকুরে পরিণত করলেন, শক্ত শিলাকে জলের উৎসে পরিণত করলেন।

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!
