Abụ Ọma 114

1 Mgbe ụmụ Izrel si nʼala Ijipt pụta, mgbe ezinaụlọ Jekọb sitekwara nʼebe ndị asụsụ ha dị iche pụta,

When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a barbarous people:

2 Juda ghọrọ ebe nsọ Chineke, Izrel ghọrọ ala ọ na-achị.

Judea made his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

3 Osimiri hụrụ ya, gbaa ọsọ, osimiri Jọdan hụkwara ya chigharịa laa azụ;

The sea saw and fled: Jordan was turned back.

4 Ugwu ukwu niile wụliri elu dịka ebule; ugwu nta niile wụlikwara elu dịka ụmụ atụrụ.

The mountains skipped like rams, and the hills like the lambs of the flock.

5 Gịnị mere gị oke osimiri, i ji na-agba ọsọ? Osimiri Jọdan, gịnị na-eme gị i ji chigharịa laa azụ?

What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou didst flee: and thou, O Jordan, that thou wast turned back?

6 Gịnị na-eme unu, ugwu ukwu niile unu ji na-awụli elu dịka ụmụ ebule? Gịnị na-emekwa unu, ugwu nta niile, unu ji na-awụli elu dịka ụmụ atụrụ?

Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams, and ye hills, like lambs of the flock?

7 Ka ụwa niile maa jijiji nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, ka ọ maakwa jijiji nʼihu Chineke nke Jekọb,

At the presence of the Lord the earth was moved, at the presence of the God of Jacob:

8 onye mere ka oke nkume ghọọ ọdọ mmiri, onye mere ka ọmụ nkume ghọọ isi iyi mmiri.

Who turned the rock into pools of water, and the stony hill into fountains of waters.
