Amahubo 114

1 Kwathi ekuphumeni kuka-Israyeli eGibhithe, indlu kaJakhobe isuka ebantwini bolimi lwezizweni,

When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a barbarous people:

2 uJuda waba yindlu engcwele kaNkulunkulu, u-Israyeli waba ngumbuso wakhe.

Judea made his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

3 Ulwandle lwakubona lwabaleka, iJodani yabuyela emuva.

The sea saw and fled: Jordan was turned back.

4 Izintaba zaqothuka njengenqama, amaqaqa enza njengamawundlu.

The mountains skipped like rams, and the hills like the lambs of the flock.

5 Kwakungani, we lwandle, wasuka wabaleka? Wena Jodani wabuyela emuva?

What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou didst flee: and thou, O Jordan, that thou wast turned back?

6 Lani zintaba laqolotsha njengenqama, lina maqaqa njengamawundlu?

Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams, and ye hills, like lambs of the flock?

7 Thuthumela, we mhlaba, phambi kukaThixo, phambi kukaNkulunkulu kaJakhobe,

At the presence of the Lord the earth was moved, at the presence of the God of Jacob:

8 owaphendula idwala laba lichibi, idwala eliqinileyo laba ngumthombo wamanzi.

Who turned the rock into pools of water, and the stony hill into fountains of waters.
