Psalms 114

1 When Israel came forth 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 became 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 backward.

Ulwandle lwakubona lwabaleka, iJodani yabuyela emuva.

4 The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like young sheep.

Izintaba zaqothuka njengenqama, amaqaqa enza njengamawundlu.

5 What aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleest? thou Jordan, that thou turnest backward?

Kwakungani, we lwandle, wasuka wabaleka? Wena Jodani wabuyela emuva?

6 Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams; ye hills, like young sheep?

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.
