Amahubo 114

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

When Israel went out of Egypt, and the house of Iaakob from the barbarous people,

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

Iudah was his sanctification, and Israel his dominion.

3 Ulwandle lwakubona lwabaleka, iJodani yabuyela emuva.

The Sea sawe it and fled: Iorden was turned backe.

4 Izintaba zaqothuka njengenqama, amaqaqa enza njengamawundlu.

The mountaines leaped like rams, and the hils as lambes.

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

What ailed thee, O Sea, that thou fleddest? O Iorden, why wast thou turned backe?

6 Lani zintaba laqolotsha njengenqama, lina maqaqa njengamawundlu?

Ye mountaines, why leaped ye like rams, and ye hils as lambes?

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

The earth trembled at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Iaakob,

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

Which turneth the rocke into waterpooles, and the flint into a fountaine of water.
