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

¹Markay reer binu Israa'iil Masar ka soo bexeen, Oo ay reerkii Yacquub dad af qalaad ka soo bexeen,

²Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

²Ayaa Yahuudah noqday meeshiisa quduuska ah, Israa'iilna noqday meeshuu u talinayay.

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

³Baddii way aragtay, wayna carartay, Webi Urdunna dib baa loo celiyey.

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

⁴Buurihii waxay u boodboodeen sidii wanan, Kurihiina sidii baraar.

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

⁵Baddoy, bal maxaa kugu dhacay oo aad u cararaysaa? Webi Urdunow, maxaad dib ugu noqonaysaa?

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

⁶Buurahow, bal maxaad ugu boodboodaysaan sida wanan? Kuraha yaryarow, bal maxaad ugu boodboodaysaan sida baraar?

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

⁷Dhulkow, ku gariir Sayidka hortiisa, Ilaaha reer Yacquub hortiisa ku gariir,Kaas oo dhagaxii u beddelay balli biyo ah, Oo dhagaxmadowgiina u beddelay il biyo ah.

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

⁸Kaas oo dhagaxii u beddelay balli biyo ah, Oo dhagaxmadowgiina u beddelay il biyo ah.
