< Psalms 114 >
1 When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of foreign language,
Ekuphumeni kukaIsrayeli eGibhithe, indlu kaJakobe ebantwini bolimi lwezizwe,
2 Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.
uJuda waba yindlu yakhe engcwele, uIsrayeli waba ngumbuso wakhe.
3 The sea saw it, and fled. The Jordan was driven back.
Ulwandle lwakubona lwabaleka, iJordani yabuyela emuva.
4 The mountains skipped like rams, the little hills like lambs.
Intaba zaqolotsha njengezinqama, amaqaqa njengamawundlu.
5 What was it, you sea, that you fled? You Jordan, that you turned back?
Ulani wena lwandle, ukuthi ubaleke? Wena Jordani, ukuthi ubuyele emuva?
6 You mountains, that you skipped like rams? You little hills, like lambs?
Lina zintaba, ukuthi liqolotshe njengezinqama? Lina maqaqa, njengamawundlu?
7 Tremble, you earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,
Thuthumela, mhlaba, phambi kweNkosi, phambi kukaNkulunkulu kaJakobe,
8 who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a spring of waters.
owaphendula idwalalibe lichibi lamanzi, ilitshe elilukhuni libe ngumthombo wamanzi.
