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 forth out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of a strange language:

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

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

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

The sea beheld it, and fled: the Jordan was driven backward.

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

The mountains skipped like wethers, the hills like lambs.

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

What aileth thee, O sea, that thou fleest? thou, O Jordan, that thou art driven backward?

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

Ye mountains, that ye skip like wethers? ye hills, like lambs?

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

At the presence of the Lord tremble, O earth, at the presence of the God of Jacob;

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

Who changeth the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of water.
