Amahubo 114

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

In the going out of Israel from Egypt, The house of Jacob from a strange people,

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

Judah became His sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

3 Ulwandle lwakubona lwabaleka, iJodani yabuyela emuva.

The sea hath seen, and fleeth, The Jordan turneth backward.

4 Izintaba zaqothuka njengenqama, amaqaqa enza njengamawundlu.

The mountains have skipped as rams, Heights as sons of a flock.

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

What — to thee, O sea, that thou fleest? O Jordan, thou turnest back!

6 Lani zintaba laqolotsha njengenqama, lina maqaqa njengamawundlu?

O mountains, ye skip as rams! O heights, as sons of a flock!

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

From before the Lord be afraid, O earth, From before the God of Jacob,

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

He is turning the rock to a pool of waters, The flint to a fountain of waters!
