Zabbuli 114

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

When Israel left Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people who spoke a foreign language,

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

Judah became his holy place, Israel his kingdom.

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

The sea looked and fled; the Jordan turned back.

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

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

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

Why did you flee, sea? Jordan, why did you turn back?

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

Mountains, why did you skip like rams? You little hills, why did you skip like lambs?

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

Tremble, earth, before the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob.

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

He turned the rock into a pool of water, the hard rock into a spring of water.
