< Psalms 114 >
1 When Israel went out of Egypt, and the house of Iaakob from the barbarous people,
Esi Israel do go tso Egipte, esi Yakob ƒe aƒe la do go tso gbe bubu gblɔlawo dome la,
2 Iudah was his sanctification, and Israel his dominion.
Yuda zu Mawu ƒe kɔkɔeƒe, eye Israel zu eƒe fiaɖuƒe.
3 The Sea sawe it and fled: Iorden was turned backe.
Atsiaƒu kpɔe, eye wòsi dzo, Yɔdan tɔsisi hã te yi megbe.
4 The mountaines leaped like rams, and the hils as lambes.
Towo ti kpo abe agbowo ene, eye togbɛwo abe alẽviwo ene.
5 What ailed thee, O Sea, that thou fleddest? O Iorden, why wast thou turned backe?
O! Atsiaƒu, nu ka ta nèsi ɖo, O! Yɔdan tɔsisi, nu ka ta nète yi megbe ɖo?
6 Ye mountaines, why leaped ye like rams, and ye hils as lambes?
Mi towo, nu ka ta mieti kpo abe agbowo ene, eye mi togbɛwo abe alẽviwo ene ɖo?
7 The earth trembled at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Iaakob,
O! Anyigba, dzo nyanyanya le Aƒetɔ la ŋkume, le Yakob ƒe Mawu la ŋkume,
8 Which turneth the rocke into waterpooles, and the flint into a fountaine of water.
eya ame si trɔ agakpe wòzu tɔʋu kple agakpe sesẽ wòzu tsidzɔƒe.
