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 people of strange language;

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

Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion.

3 Ulwandle lwakubona lwabaleka, iJodani yabuyela emuva.

The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back.

4 Izintaba zaqothuka njengenqama, amaqaqa enza njengamawundlu.

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

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

What ailed you, O you sea, that you fled? you Jordan, that you were driven back?

6 Lani zintaba laqolotsha njengenqama, lina maqaqa njengamawundlu?

All of you mountains, that all of you skipped like rams; and all of you little hills, like lambs?

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

Tremble, you earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;

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

Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
