Psalms 114

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

Israeri akati abuda muIjipiti, imba yaJakobho ichibva kurudzi runo mutauro wokumwe,

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

Judha akava imba tsvene yaMwari, Israeri ushe hwake.

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

Gungwa rakazviona rikatiza, Jorodhani rwakadzokera shure;

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

makomo akakwakuka samakondobwe, zvikomo samakwayana.

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

Haiwa gungwa, wakatizeiko, iwe Jorodhani zvawakadzokera shure,

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

imi makomo zvamakakwakuka samakondobwe, nemi zvikomo, samakwayana?

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

Dedera, iwe nyika pamberi paShe, pamberi paMwari waJakobho,

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

akashandura dombo rikava dziva, dombo rakaoma rikava matsime emvura.
