Psalms 114

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

Ekuphumeni kukaIsrayeli eGibhithe, indlu kaJakobe ebantwini bolimi lwezizwe,

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

uJuda waba yindlu yakhe engcwele, uIsrayeli waba ngumbuso wakhe.

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

Ulwandle lwakubona lwabaleka, iJordani yabuyela emuva.

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

Intaba zaqolotsha njengezinqama, amaqaqa njengamawundlu.

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

Ulani wena lwandle, ukuthi ubaleke? Wena Jordani, ukuthi ubuyele emuva?

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

Lina zintaba, ukuthi liqolotshe njengezinqama? Lina maqaqa, njengamawundlu?

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

Thuthumela, mhlaba, phambi kweNkosi, phambi kukaNkulunkulu kaJakobe,

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

owaphendula idwalalibe lichibi lamanzi, ilitshe elilukhuni libe ngumthombo wamanzi.
