Zabbuli 114

1 Isirayiri bwe yava mu Misiri, abaana ba Yakobo abo, ne bava mu bantu abaayogeranga olulimi olutali lwabwe;

At the time of the exodus of Israel from Egypt, when the descendants of Jacob left that foreign country,

2 Yuda n’afuuka omutukuvu wa Katonda, Isirayiri n’afuuka amatwale ge.

the land of Judah became the Lord's sanctuary, Israel his kingdom.

3 Ennyanja bwe yabalaba n’edduka; Omugga Yoludaani ne gudda emabega.

The Red Sea saw them and ran away; the Jordan River retreated.

4 Ensozi ne zibuukabuuka ng’endiga zisseddume, n’obusozi obutono ng’obuliga obuto.

Mountains jumped in fright like rams, hills startled like lambs.

5 Ggwe ennyanja, lwaki wadduka? Ggwe Yoludaani, lwaki wadda emabega?

Red Sea—why did you run away? Jordan River—why did you retreat?

6 Mmwe ensozi, lwaki mwabuukabuuka ng’endiga zisseddume, nammwe obusozi obutono ng’obuliga obuto?

Mountains—why did you jump in fright? Hills—why did you startle like lambs?

7 Kankana, ggwe ensi, mu maaso ga Mukama, mu maaso ga Katonda wa Yakobo,

Earth, tremble in the presence of the Lord, tremble in the presence of the God of Jacob!

8 eyafuula olwazi ekidiba eky’amazzi, n’olwazi olugumu n’aluggyamu ensulo ez’amazzi.

He is the one who turned the rock into a pool of water; making water flow from the hard rock.
