A Passover Song
1 When the people of Israel left Egypt,
when Jacob's descendants left that foreign land,
2 Judah became the Lord's holy people,
Israel became his own possession.
3 The Red Sea looked and ran away;
the Jordan River stopped flowing.
4 The mountains skipped like goats;
the hills jumped around like lambs.
5 What happened, Sea, to make you run away?
And you, O Jordan, why did you stop flowing?
6 You mountains, why did you skip like goats?
You hills, why did you jump around like lambs?
7 Tremble, earth, at the Lord's coming,
at the presence of the God of Jacob,
8 who changes rocks into pools of water
and solid cliffs into flowing springs.
Dieva brīnumi, israēliešiem izejot no Ēģiptes
(2Moz 14)1 Kad Israēls izgāja no Ēģiptes,
Jēkaba nams – no tautas, kam sveša mēle,
2 tad Jūda par viņa svētumu kļuva,
Israēls tagad zem Kunga valdīšanas!
3 Jūra ieraudzīja un bēga,
Jardāna tecēja atpakaļ!
4 Kalni kā auni lēkāja,
pauguri kā jērēni!
5 Kas tev, jūra, ka bēdz,
kas tev, Jardāna, ka atpakaļ teci?
6 Kas jums, kalni, ka lecat kā auni,
kas jums, pauguri, tā kā jērēni!
7 Drebi, zeme, mana Kunga, Jēkaba Dieva, priekšā!
8 Viņš klintis par ūdens dīķiem padara
un kramu par ūdens avotu!
