< Psalms 114 >

1 When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a barbarous people:
Ekuphumeni kukaIsrayeli eGibhithe, indlu kaJakobe ebantwini bolimi lwezizwe,
2 Judea made his sanctuary, 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 the lambs of the flock.
Intaba zaqolotsha njengezinqama, amaqaqa njengamawundlu.
5 What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou didst flee: and thou, O Jordan, that thou wast turned back?
Ulani wena lwandle, ukuthi ubaleke? Wena Jordani, ukuthi ubuyele emuva?
6 Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams, and ye hills, like lambs of the flock?
Lina zintaba, ukuthi liqolotshe njengezinqama? Lina maqaqa, njengamawundlu?
7 At the presence of the Lord the earth was moved, 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 stony hill into fountains of waters.
owaphendula idwalalibe lichibi lamanzi, ilitshe elilukhuni libe ngumthombo wamanzi.
