Psalmowo 114

1 Esi Israel do go tso Egipte, esi Yakob ƒe aƒe la do go tso gbe bubu gblɔlawo dome la,

When Israel left Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people who spoke a foreign language,

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

Judah became his holy place, Israel his kingdom.

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

The sea looked and fled; the Jordan turned back.

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

The mountains skipped like rams, the hills skipped like lambs.

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

Why did you flee, sea? Jordan, why did you turn back?

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

Mountains, why did you skip like rams? You little hills, why did you skip like lambs?

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

Tremble, earth, before the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob.

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

He turned the rock into a pool of water, the hard rock into a spring of water.
