Psalmowo 114

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

Alleluia. At the going forth of Israel from Egypt, of the house of Jacob from a barbarous people,

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

Judea became his sanctuary, [and] Israel his dominion.

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

The sea saw and fled: Jordan was turned back.

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

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

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

What [ailed] thee, O sea, that thou fleddest? and thou Jordan, that thou wast turned back?

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

[Ye] mountains, that ye skipped like rams, and [ye] hills, like lambs?

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

The earth trembled 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 pools of water, and the flint into fountains of water.
