< Psalms 114 >
1 When went out Israel from Egypt [the] house of Jacob from a people speaking a foreign language.
Ekuphumeni kukaIsrayeli eGibhithe, indlu kaJakobe ebantwini bolimi lwezizwe,
2 It became Judah sanctuary his Israel dominion his.
uJuda waba yindlu yakhe engcwele, uIsrayeli waba ngumbuso wakhe.
3 The sea it saw and it fled the Jordan it turned around to backwards.
Ulwandle lwakubona lwabaleka, iJordani yabuyela emuva.
4 The mountains they skipped about like rams hills like young ones of sheep.
Intaba zaqolotsha njengezinqama, amaqaqa njengamawundlu.
5 What? [is] to you O sea that you will flee O Jordan you will turn around to backwards.
Ulani wena lwandle, ukuthi ubaleke? Wena Jordani, ukuthi ubuyele emuva?
6 O mountains you will skip about like rams O hills like young ones of sheep.
Lina zintaba, ukuthi liqolotshe njengezinqama? Lina maqaqa, njengamawundlu?
7 From to before [the] lord tremble O earth from to before [the] God of Jacob.
Thuthumela, mhlaba, phambi kweNkosi, phambi kukaNkulunkulu kaJakobe,
8 Who turned the rock a pool of water flint into spring of his water.
owaphendula idwalalibe lichibi lamanzi, ilitshe elilukhuni libe ngumthombo wamanzi.
