< 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, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;
2 Yuda zu Mawu ƒe kɔkɔeƒe, eye Israel zu eƒe fiaɖuƒe.
Judah was his sanctuary, [and] Israel his dominion.
3 Atsiaƒu kpɔe, eye wòsi dzo, Yɔdan tɔsisi hã te yi megbe.
The sea saw [it], and fled: Jordan was driven back.
4 Towo ti kpo abe agbowo ene, eye togbɛwo abe alẽviwo ene.
The mountains skipped like rams, [and] the little 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 thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, [that] thou wast driven 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 little hills, like lambs?
7 O! Anyigba, dzo nyanyanya le Aƒetɔ la ŋkume, le Yakob ƒe Mawu la ŋkume,
Tremble, thou 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.
Which turned the rock [into] a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
