Psalms 114

1 When Israel came forth from 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 beheld, and fled; The Jordan turned back.

Gungwa rakazviona rikatiza, Jorodhani rwakadzokera shure;

4 The mountains skipped like rams, And the hills like lambs.

makomo akakwakuka samakondobwe, zvikomo samakwayana.

5 What aileth thee, O thou sea! that thou fleest? Thou, Jordan, that thou runnest back?

Haiwa gungwa, wakatizeiko, iwe Jorodhani zvawakadzokera shure,

6 Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams, And ye hills like lambs?

imi makomo zvamakakwakuka samakondobwe, nemi zvikomo, samakwayana?

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

Dedera, iwe nyika pamberi paShe, pamberi paMwari waJakobho,

8 Who turned the rock into a standing lake, And the flint into a fountain of water!

akashandura dombo rikava dziva, dombo rakaoma rikava matsime emvura.
