< Psalms 114 >
1 When Israel departed from Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of foreign tongue,
Mu thangu Iseli katotuka mu Ezipite, nzo yi Yakobi mu batu beti tuba mbembo yi nzenza;
2 Judah became God’s sanctuary, and Israel His dominion.
Yuda dikituka buangu kinlongo ki Nzambi, Iseli tsi andi.
3 The sea observed and fled; the Jordan turned back;
Mbu wumona ayi wutina; Yolidani yivutuka ku manima.
4 the mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs.
Miongo midumuka banga mamemi mambakala; miongo mifioti banga bana ba mamemi.
5 Why was it, O sea, that you fled, O Jordan, that you turned back,
A mbi bivangama, ngeyo mbu, muingi wutina ngeyo Yolidani, muingi wuvutuka ku manina e?
6 O mountains, that you skipped like rams, O hills, like lambs?
Ngeyo miongo, muingi wudumuka banga mamemi ma mbakala, miongo mifioti banga bana ba mememi e?
7 Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,
Tita, a ntoto, va meso ma Yave va meso ma Nzambi yi Yakobi.
8 who turned the rock into a pool, the flint into a fountain of water!
Niandi wunkitulanga ditadi buindi ki nlangu, ditadi dingolo zitho zi nlangu.
