< Psalms 114 >
1 When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;
Israeri akati abuda muIjipiti, imba yaJakobho ichibva kurudzi runo mutauro wokumwe,
2 Judah was his sanctuary, [and] Israel his dominion.
Judha akava imba tsvene yaMwari, Israeri ushe hwake.
3 The sea saw [it], and fled: Jordan was driven back.
Gungwa rakazviona rikatiza, Jorodhani rwakadzokera shure;
4 The mountains skipped like rams, [and] the little hills like lambs.
makomo akakwakuka samakondobwe, zvikomo samakwayana.
5 What [ailed] thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, [that] thou wast driven back?
Haiwa gungwa, wakatizeiko, iwe Jorodhani zvawakadzokera shure,
6 Ye mountains, [that] ye skipped like rams; [and] ye little hills, like lambs?
imi makomo zvamakakwakuka samakondobwe, nemi zvikomo, samakwayana?
7 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;
Dedera, iwe nyika pamberi paShe, pamberi paMwari waJakobho,
8 Which turned the rock [into] a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
akashandura dombo rikava dziva, dombo rakaoma rikava matsime emvura.
