Psalms 114

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

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

2 Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

Judha akava imba tsvene yaMwari, Israeri ushe hwake.

3 The sea saw it, and fled; Jordan was driven back.

Gungwa rakazviona rikatiza, Jorodhani rwakadzokera shure;

4 The mountains skipped like rams, the little hills like young sheep.

makomo akakwakuka samakondobwe, zvikomo samakwayana.

5 What aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleest? thou Jordan, that thou turnest back?

Haiwa gungwa, wakatizeiko, iwe Jorodhani zvawakadzokera shure,

6 Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams; ye little hills, like young sheep?

imi makomo zvamakakwakuka samakondobwe, nemi zvikomo, samakwayana?

7 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;

Dedera, iwe nyika pamberi paShe, pamberi paMwari waJakobho,

8 Which turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of waters.

akashandura dombo rikava dziva, dombo rakaoma rikava matsime emvura.
