Psalms 114

1 When Israel departed from Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of foreign tongue,

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

2 Judah became God’s sanctuary, and Israel His dominion.

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

3 The sea observed and fled; the Jordan turned back;

Nyanja inaona ndi kuthawa, mtsinje wa Yorodani unabwerera mʼmbuyo;

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

mapiri analumphalumpha ngati nkhosa zazimuna, timapiri ngati ana ankhosa.

5 Why was it, O sea, that you fled, O Jordan, that you turned back,

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

6 O mountains, that you skipped like rams, O hills, like lambs?

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

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

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

8 who turned the rock into a pool, the flint into a fountain of water!

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