Psalms 114

1 When Israel left Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people who spoke a foreign language,

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

2 Judah became his holy place, Israel his kingdom.

Judha akava imba tsvene yaMwari, Israeri ushe hwake.

3 The sea looked and fled; the Jordan turned back.

Gungwa rakazviona rikatiza, Jorodhani rwakadzokera shure;

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

makomo akakwakuka samakondobwe, zvikomo samakwayana.

5 Why did you flee, sea? Jordan, why did you turn back?

Haiwa gungwa, wakatizeiko, iwe Jorodhani zvawakadzokera shure,

6 Mountains, why did you skip like rams? You little hills, why did you skip like lambs?

imi makomo zvamakakwakuka samakondobwe, nemi zvikomo, samakwayana?

7 Tremble, earth, before the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob.

Dedera, iwe nyika pamberi paShe, pamberi paMwari waJakobho,

8 He turned the rock into a pool of water, the hard rock into a spring of water.

akashandura dombo rikava dziva, dombo rakaoma rikava matsime emvura.
