< Psalmowo 114 >
1 Esi Israel do go tso Egipte, esi Yakob ƒe aƒe la do go tso gbe bubu gblɔlawo dome la,
When Israel came forth from 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 beheld, and fled; The Jordan 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 aileth thee, O thou sea! that thou fleest? Thou, Jordan, that thou runnest back?
6 Mi towo, nu ka ta mieti kpo abe agbowo ene, eye mi togbɛwo abe alẽviwo ene ɖo?
Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams, And ye hills like lambs?
7 O! Anyigba, dzo nyanyanya le Aƒetɔ la ŋkume, le Yakob ƒe Mawu la ŋkume,
Tremble, O 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.
Who turned the rock into a standing lake, And the flint into a fountain of water!
