1 I te putanga mai o Iharaira i Ihipa, o te whare o Hakopa i te iwi reo ke,

In the going out of Israel from Egypt, The house of Jacob from a strange people,

2 K o Hura tona wahi tapu, ko Iharaira tona rangatiratanga.

Judah became His sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

3 I kite te moana, a whati ana: i whakahokia ki muri a Horano.

The sea hath seen, and fleeth, The Jordan turneth backward.

4 P ekepeke ana nga maunga ano he hipi toa, nga pukepuke ano he reme.

The mountains have skipped as rams, Heights as sons of a flock.

5 I ahatia koe, e te moana, i whati ai koe e Horano, i whakahokia ai koe ki muri?

What -- to thee, O sea, that thou fleest? O Jordan, thou turnest back!

6 E nga maunga, i pekepeke ai koutou ano he hipi toa; e nga pukepuke, ano he reme?

O mountains, ye skip as rams! O heights, as sons of a flock!

7 E wiri, e te whenua, i te aroaro o te Ariki; i te aroaro o te Atua o Hakopa;

From before the Lord be afraid, O earth, From before the God of Jacob,

8 I meinga ai te toka hei hopua wai; te kiripaka hei puna wai.

He is turning the rock to a pool of waters, The flint to a fountain of waters!
