< Psalms 114 >
1 In the going out of Israel from Egypt, The house of Jacob from a strange people,
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 has seen, and flees, The Jordan turns backward.
Ulwandle lwakubona lwabaleka, iJordani yabuyela emuva.
4 The mountains have skipped as rams, Heights as sons of a flock.
Intaba zaqolotsha njengezinqama, amaqaqa njengamawundlu.
5 What is [ailing] you, O sea, that you flee? O Jordan, you turn back!
Ulani wena lwandle, ukuthi ubaleke? Wena Jordani, ukuthi ubuyele emuva?
6 O mountains, you skip as rams! O heights, as sons of a flock!
Lina zintaba, ukuthi liqolotshe njengezinqama? Lina maqaqa, njengamawundlu?
7 From before the Lord be afraid, O earth, From before the God of Jacob,
Thuthumela, mhlaba, phambi kweNkosi, phambi kukaNkulunkulu kaJakobe,
8 He is turning the rock to a pool of waters, The flint to a fountain of waters!
owaphendula idwalalibe lichibi lamanzi, ilitshe elilukhuni libe ngumthombo wamanzi.
