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 out of Egypt, The house of Jacob from among a people of strange tongue,

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

Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his realm:

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, started like rams, The 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?

What aileth thee, O sea, that thou fleest? O Jordan, that thou turnest back?

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

Ye mountains, that ye start like rams? Ye hills, like the young of the flock?

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

Before the Lord, be in anguish, O earth, Before the GOD of Jacob:

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

Who turneth The Rock into a pool of water, The Flint into springs of water.
