Psalms 114

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	BIBBIA CEI 2008
1 When Israel came forth from Egypt, the house of Jacob from an alien people,	1 Quando Israele uscì dall’Egitto,la casa di Giacobbe da un popolo barbaro,
2 Judah became God's holy place, Israel, God's domain.	2 Giuda divenne il suo santuario,Israele il suo dominio.
3 The sea beheld and fled; the Jordan turned back.	3 Il mare vide e si ritrasse,il Giordano si volse indietro,
4 The mountains skipped like rams; the hills, like lambs of the flock.	4 le montagne saltellarono come arieti,le colline come agnelli di un gregge.
5 Why was it, sea, that you fled? Jordan, that you turned back?	5 Che hai tu, mare, per fuggire,e tu, Giordano, per volgerti indietro?
6 You mountains, that you skipped like rams? You hills, like lambs of the flock?	6 Perché voi, montagne, saltellate come arietie voi, colline, come agnelli di un gregge?
7 Tremble, earth, before the Lord, before the God of Jacob,	7 Trema, o terra, davanti al Signore,davanti al Dio di Giacobbe,
8 Who turned rock into pools of water, stone into flowing springs.	8 che muta la rupe in un lago,la roccia in sorgenti d’acqua.
