Psalms 114

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

Ekuphumeni kukaIsrayeli eGibhithe, indlu kaJakobe ebantwini bolimi lwezizwe,

2 Judah became his sanctuary, [and] Israel his dominion.

uJuda waba yindlu yakhe engcwele, uIsrayeli waba ngumbuso wakhe.

3 The sea beheld it, and fled: the Jordan was driven backward.

Ulwandle lwakubona lwabaleka, iJordani yabuyela emuva.

4 The mountains skipped like wethers, the hills like lambs.

Intaba zaqolotsha njengezinqama, amaqaqa njengamawundlu.

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

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

6 Ye mountains, that ye skip like wethers? ye hills, like lambs?

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

7 At the presence of the Lord tremble, O earth, at the presence of the God of Jacob;

Thuthumela, mhlaba, phambi kweNkosi, phambi kukaNkulunkulu kaJakobe,

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

owaphendula idwalalibe lichibi lamanzi, ilitshe elilukhuni libe ngumthombo wamanzi.
