Zabbuli 114

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

When Israel [God prevails] went out of Egypt [Abode of slavery], the house of Jacob [Supplanter] from a people of foreign language;

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

Judah [Praised] became his sanctuary, Israel [God prevails] his dominion.

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

The sea saw it, and fled. The Jordan [Descender] was driven back.

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

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

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

What was it, you sea, that you fled? You Jordan [Descender], that you turned back?

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

You mountains, that you skipped like rams; you little hills, like lambs?

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

Tremble, you earth, at the presence of 'Adon [Lord], at the presence of the God of Jacob [Supplanter],

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

who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a spring of waters.
