Amahubo 114

1 Ekuphumeni kukaIsrayeli eGibhithe, indlu kaJakobe ebantwini bolimi lwezizwe,

When Israel went forth out of Egypt, The house of Jacob from a people of strange language;

2 uJuda waba yindlu yakhe engcwele, uIsrayeli waba ngumbuso wakhe.

Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

3 Ulwandle lwakubona lwabaleka, iJordani yabuyela emuva.

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

4 Intaba zaqolotsha njengezinqama, amaqaqa njengamawundlu.

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

5 Ulani wena lwandle, ukuthi ubaleke? Wena Jordani, ukuthi ubuyele emuva?

What aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleest? Thou Jordan, that thou turnest back?

6 Lina zintaba, ukuthi liqolotshe njengezinqama? Lina maqaqa, njengamawundlu?

Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams; Ye little hills, like lambs?

7 Thuthumela, mhlaba, phambi kweNkosi, phambi kukaNkulunkulu kaJakobe,

Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, At the presence of the God of Jacob,

8 owaphendula idwalalibe lichibi lamanzi, ilitshe elilukhuni libe ngumthombo wamanzi.

Who turned the rock into a pool of water, The flint into a fountain of waters.
