Amahubo 114

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

When went out Israel from Egypt [the] house of Jacob from a people speaking a foreign language.

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

It became Judah sanctuary his Israel dominion his.

3 Ulwandle lwakubona lwabaleka, iJodani yabuyela emuva.

The sea it saw and it fled the Jordan it turned around to backwards.

4 Izintaba zaqothuka njengenqama, amaqaqa enza njengamawundlu.

The mountains they skipped about like rams hills like young ones of sheep.

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

What? [is] to you O sea that you will flee O Jordan you will turn around to backwards.

6 Lani zintaba laqolotsha njengenqama, lina maqaqa njengamawundlu?

O mountains you will skip about like rams O hills like young ones of sheep.

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

From to before [the] lord tremble O earth from to before [the] God of Jacob.

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

Who turned the rock a pool of water flint into spring of his water.
