< Psalms 114 >

1 When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language,
Kwathi ekuphumeni kuka-Israyeli eGibhithe, indlu kaJakhobe isuka ebantwini bolimi lwezizweni,
2 Judah was his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.
uJuda waba yindlu engcwele kaNkulunkulu, u-Israyeli waba ngumbuso wakhe.
3 The sea saw it and fled, the Jordan turned back;
Ulwandle lwakubona lwabaleka, iJodani yabuyela emuva.
4 The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs.
Izintaba zaqothuka njengenqama, amaqaqa enza njengamawundlu.
5 What ailed thee, thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou turnedst back?
Kwakungani, we lwandle, wasuka wabaleka? Wena Jodani wabuyela emuva?
6 Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams? ye hills, like lambs?
Lani zintaba laqolotsha njengenqama, lina maqaqa njengamawundlu?
7 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,
Thuthumela, we mhlaba, phambi kukaThixo, phambi kukaNkulunkulu kaJakhobe,
8 Who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
owaphendula idwala laba lichibi, idwala eliqinileyo laba ngumthombo wamanzi.
