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, Jacob’s house from a barbarous people,

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

God chose Judah for himself, Israel became his kingdom.

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

The sea saw it, and fled, Jordan river ran backwards.

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

Mountains skipped like rams, hills like the young of the flock.

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

Why, sea, do you flee? Jordan, why run backwards?

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

Mountains, why skip ram-like? Why, hills, like the young of the flock?

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

Earth, tremble before the Lord, at the presence of Jacob’s God,

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

who turns rocks into pools of water, and flint into fountains of water.
