Zabbuli 114

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

When Israel went forth out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of a strange language:

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

Judah became his sanctuary, [and] Israel his dominion.

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

The sea beheld it, and fled: the Jordan was driven backward.

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

The mountains skipped like wethers, the hills like lambs.

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

What aileth thee, O sea, that thou fleest? thou, O Jordan, that thou art driven backward?

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

Ye mountains, that ye skip like wethers? ye hills, like lambs?

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

At the presence of the Lord tremble, O earth, at the presence of the God of Jacob;

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

Who changeth the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of water.
