< Psalms 114 >

1 Alleluia. At the going forth of Israel from Egypt, of the house of Jacob from a barbarous people,
Ekuphumeni kukaIsrayeli eGibhithe, indlu kaJakobe ebantwini bolimi lwezizwe,
2 Judea became his sanctuary, [and] Israel his dominion.
uJuda waba yindlu yakhe engcwele, uIsrayeli waba ngumbuso wakhe.
3 The sea saw and fled: Jordan was turned back.
Ulwandle lwakubona lwabaleka, iJordani yabuyela emuva.
4 The mountains skipped like rams, and the hills like lambs.
Intaba zaqolotsha njengezinqama, amaqaqa njengamawundlu.
5 What [ailed] you, O sea, that you fled? and you Jordan, that you were turned back?
Ulani wena lwandle, ukuthi ubaleke? Wena Jordani, ukuthi ubuyele emuva?
6 [You] mountains, that you skipped like rams, and [you] hills, like lambs?
Lina zintaba, ukuthi liqolotshe njengezinqama? Lina maqaqa, njengamawundlu?
7 The earth trembled 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 pools of water, and the flint into fountains of water.
owaphendula idwalalibe lichibi lamanzi, ilitshe elilukhuni libe ngumthombo wamanzi.
