Psalms 114

1 When Israel came out of Egypt, the children of Jacob from a people whose language was strange to them;

Ekuphumeni kukaIsrayeli eGibhithe, indlu kaJakobe ebantwini bolimi lwezizwe,

2 Judah became his holy place, and Israel his kingdom.

uJuda waba yindlu yakhe engcwele, uIsrayeli waba ngumbuso wakhe.

3 The sea saw it, and went in flight; Jordan was turned back.

Ulwandle lwakubona lwabaleka, iJordani yabuyela emuva.

4 The mountains were jumping like goats, and the little hills like lambs.

Intaba zaqolotsha njengezinqama, amaqaqa njengamawundlu.

5 What was wrong with you, O sea, that you went in flight? O Jordan, that you were turned back?

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

6 You mountains, why were you jumping like goats, and you little hills like lambs?

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

7 Be troubled, O earth, before the Lord, before the God of Jacob;

Thuthumela, mhlaba, phambi kweNkosi, phambi kukaNkulunkulu kaJakobe,

8 Who made the rock into a water-spring, and the hard stone into a fountain.

owaphendula idwalalibe lichibi lamanzi, ilitshe elilukhuni libe ngumthombo wamanzi.
