Zabbuli 114

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

When Israel came forth from Egypt, The house of Jacob from a people of strange language,

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

Judah was his sanctuary, And Israel his dominion.

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

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

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

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

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

What aileth thee, O thou sea! that thou fleest? Thou, Jordan, that thou runnest back?

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

Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams, And ye hills like lambs?

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

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

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

Who turned the rock into a standing lake, And the flint into a fountain of water!
