Masalimo 114

1 Pamene Israeli anatuluka mu Igupto, nyumba ya Yakobo kuchoka ku mtundu wa anthu a chiyankhulo chachilendo,

When Israel came forth out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;

2 Yuda anasanduka malo opatulika a Mulungu, Israeli anasanduka ufumu wake.

Judah became His sanctuary, Israel His dominion.

3 Nyanja inaona ndi kuthawa, mtsinje wa Yorodani unabwerera mʼmbuyo;

The sea saw it, and fled; the Jordan turned backward.

4 mapiri analumphalumpha ngati nkhosa zazimuna, timapiri ngati ana ankhosa.

The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like young sheep.

5 Nʼchifukwa chiyani iwe unathawa? iwe mtsinje wa Yorodani unabwereranji mʼmbuyo?

What aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleest? thou Jordan, that thou turnest backward?

6 inu mapiri, munalumphalumphiranji ngati nkhosa zazimuna, inu timapiri, ngati ana ankhosa?

Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams; ye hills, like young sheep?

7 Njenjemera pamaso pa Ambuye iwe dziko lapansi, pamaso pa Mulungu wa Yakobo,

Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;

8 amene anasandutsa thanthwe kukhala chitsime, thanthwe lolimba kukhala akasupe a madzi.

Who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
