Psalmowo 114

1 Esi Israel do go tso Egipte, esi Yakob ƒe aƒe la do go tso gbe bubu gblɔlawo dome la,

When Israel departed from Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of foreign tongue,

2 Yuda zu Mawu ƒe kɔkɔeƒe, eye Israel zu eƒe fiaɖuƒe.

Judah became God’s sanctuary, and Israel His dominion.

3 Atsiaƒu kpɔe, eye wòsi dzo, Yɔdan tɔsisi hã te yi megbe.

The sea observed and fled; the Jordan turned back;

4 Towo ti kpo abe agbowo ene, eye togbɛwo abe alẽviwo ene.

the mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs.

5 O! Atsiaƒu, nu ka ta nèsi ɖo, O! Yɔdan tɔsisi, nu ka ta nète yi megbe ɖo?

Why was it, O sea, that you fled, O Jordan, that you turned back,

6 Mi towo, nu ka ta mieti kpo abe agbowo ene, eye mi togbɛwo abe alẽviwo ene ɖo?

O mountains, that you skipped like rams, O hills, like lambs?

7 O! Anyigba, dzo nyanyanya le Aƒetɔ la ŋkume, le Yakob ƒe Mawu la ŋkume,

Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,

8 eya ame si trɔ agakpe wòzu tɔʋu kple agakpe sesẽ wòzu tsidzɔƒe.

who turned the rock into a pool, the flint into a fountain of water!
