Psalms 114

1 When Israel came forth out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;

Ekuphumeni kukaIsrayeli eGibhithe, indlu kaJakobe ebantwini bolimi lwezizwe,

2 Judah became His sanctuary, Israel His dominion.

uJuda waba yindlu yakhe engcwele, uIsrayeli waba ngumbuso wakhe.

3 The sea saw it, and fled; the Jordan turned backward.

Ulwandle lwakubona lwabaleka, iJordani yabuyela emuva.

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

Intaba zaqolotsha njengezinqama, amaqaqa njengamawundlu.

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

Ulani wena lwandle, ukuthi ubaleke? Wena Jordani, ukuthi ubuyele emuva?

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

Lina zintaba, ukuthi liqolotshe njengezinqama? Lina maqaqa, njengamawundlu?

7 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;

Thuthumela, mhlaba, phambi kweNkosi, phambi kukaNkulunkulu kaJakobe,

8 Who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of waters.

owaphendula idwalalibe lichibi lamanzi, ilitshe elilukhuni libe ngumthombo wamanzi.
