Abụ Ọma 114

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

When Israel came forth out of Egypt, The house of Jacob from among a people of strange tongue,

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

Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his realm:

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

The sea, beheld, and fled, The Jordan, turned back;

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

The mountains, started like rams, The hills like the young 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 aileth thee, O sea, that thou fleest? O Jordan, that thou turnest 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 start like rams? Ye hills, like the young of the flock?

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

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

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

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