< Psalmowo 114 >
1 Esi Israel do go tso Egipte, esi Yakob ƒe aƒe la do go tso gbe bubu gblɔlawo dome la,
When Israel went out of Egypt, and the house of Iaakob from the barbarous people,
2 Yuda zu Mawu ƒe kɔkɔeƒe, eye Israel zu eƒe fiaɖuƒe.
Iudah was his sanctification, and Israel his dominion.
3 Atsiaƒu kpɔe, eye wòsi dzo, Yɔdan tɔsisi hã te yi megbe.
The Sea sawe it and fled: Iorden was turned backe.
4 Towo ti kpo abe agbowo ene, eye togbɛwo abe alẽviwo ene.
The mountaines leaped like rams, and the hils as lambes.
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? O Iorden, why wast thou turned backe?
6 Mi towo, nu ka ta mieti kpo abe agbowo ene, eye mi togbɛwo abe alẽviwo ene ɖo?
Ye mountaines, why leaped ye like rams, and ye hils as lambes?
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 Iaakob,
8 eya ame si trɔ agakpe wòzu tɔʋu kple agakpe sesẽ wòzu tsidzɔƒe.
Which turneth the rocke into waterpooles, and the flint into a fountaine of water.
