< Psalms 114 >
1 When Israel came forth out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;
Esi Israel do go tso Egipte, esi Yakob ƒe aƒe la do go tso gbe bubu gblɔlawo dome la,
2 Judah became His sanctuary, Israel His dominion.
Yuda zu Mawu ƒe kɔkɔeƒe, eye Israel zu eƒe fiaɖuƒe.
3 The sea saw it, and fled; the Jordan turned backward.
Atsiaƒu kpɔe, eye wòsi dzo, Yɔdan tɔsisi hã te yi megbe.
4 The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like young sheep.
Towo ti kpo abe agbowo ene, eye togbɛwo abe alẽviwo ene.
5 What aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleest? thou Jordan, that thou turnest backward?
O! Atsiaƒu, nu ka ta nèsi ɖo, O! Yɔdan tɔsisi, nu ka ta nète yi megbe ɖo?
6 Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams; ye hills, like young sheep?
Mi towo, nu ka ta mieti kpo abe agbowo ene, eye mi togbɛwo abe alẽviwo ene ɖo?
7 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;
O! Anyigba, dzo nyanyanya le Aƒetɔ la ŋkume, le Yakob ƒe Mawu la ŋkume,
8 Who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
eya ame si trɔ agakpe wòzu tɔʋu kple agakpe sesẽ wòzu tsidzɔƒe.
