< Psalms 114 >

1 When Israel came forth from Egypt, The house of Jacob from a people of strange language,
Kwathi ekuphumeni kuka-Israyeli eGibhithe, indlu kaJakhobe isuka ebantwini bolimi lwezizweni,
2 Judah was his sanctuary, And Israel his dominion.
uJuda waba yindlu engcwele kaNkulunkulu, u-Israyeli waba ngumbuso wakhe.
3 The sea beheld, and fled; The Jordan turned back.
Ulwandle lwakubona lwabaleka, iJodani yabuyela emuva.
4 The mountains skipped like rams, And the hills like lambs.
Izintaba zaqothuka njengenqama, amaqaqa enza njengamawundlu.
5 What aileth thee, O thou sea! that thou fleest? Thou, Jordan, that thou runnest back?
Kwakungani, we lwandle, wasuka wabaleka? Wena Jodani wabuyela emuva?
6 Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams, And ye hills like lambs?
Lani zintaba laqolotsha njengenqama, lina maqaqa njengamawundlu?
7 Tremble, O earth! at the presence of the Lord, At the presence of the God of Jacob;
Thuthumela, we mhlaba, phambi kukaThixo, phambi kukaNkulunkulu kaJakhobe,
8 Who turned the rock into a standing lake, And the flint into a fountain of water!
owaphendula idwala laba lichibi, idwala eliqinileyo laba ngumthombo wamanzi.
