¹When Israel went forth out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of foreign language;

¹Kiam Izrael eliris el Egiptujo, La domo de Jakob el fremda popolo,

²Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

²Tiam Jehuda farigxis Lia sanktajxo, Izrael Lia regno.

³The sea saw it, and fled. The Jordan was driven back.

³La maro vidis kaj forkuris, Jordan turnigxis malantauxen;

⁴The mountains skipped like rams, the little hills like lambs.

⁴La montoj saltis kiel sxafoj, La montetoj kiel sxafidoj.

⁵What was it, you sea, that you fled? You Jordan, that you turned back?

⁵Kio estas al vi, ho maro, ke vi forkuris? Jordan, kial vi turnigxis malantauxen?

⁶You mountains, that you skipped like rams; you little hills, like lambs?

⁶Montoj, kial vi saltas kiel sxafoj, Montetoj, kiel sxafidoj?

⁷Tremble, you earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,

⁷Antaux la Sinjoro tremu, ho tero, Antaux la Dio de Jakob,

⁸who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a spring of waters.

⁸Kiu sxangxas rokon en lagon da akvo, Graniton en akvodonan fonton.
