Psalms 114

1 When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of foreign 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. The Jordan was driven back.

Gungwa rakazviona rikatiza, Jorodhani rwakadzokera shure;

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

makomo akakwakuka samakondobwe, zvikomo samakwayana.

5 What was it, you sea, that you fled? You Jordan, that you turned back?

Haiwa gungwa, wakatizeiko, iwe Jorodhani zvawakadzokera shure,

6 You mountains, that you skipped like rams? You little hills, like lambs?

imi makomo zvamakakwakuka samakondobwe, nemi zvikomo, samakwayana?

7 Tremble, you 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 pool of water, the flint into a spring of waters.

akashandura dombo rikava dziva, dombo rakaoma rikava matsime emvura.
