Psalmowo 114

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

At the time of the exodus of Israel from Egypt, when the descendants of Jacob left that foreign country,

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

the land of Judah became the Lord's sanctuary, Israel his kingdom.

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

The Red Sea saw them and ran away; the Jordan River retreated.

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

Mountains jumped in fright like rams, hills startled like lambs.

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

Red Sea—why did you run away? Jordan River—why did you retreat?

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

Mountains—why did you jump in fright? Hills—why did you startle like lambs?

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

Earth, tremble in the presence of the Lord, tremble in the presence of the God of Jacob!

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

He is the one who turned the rock into a pool of water; making water flow from the hard rock.
