Amahubo 114

1 Ekuphumeni kukaIsrayeli eGibhithe, indlu kaJakobe ebantwini bolimi lwezizwe,

When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a barbarous people:

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

Judea made his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

3 Ulwandle lwakubona lwabaleka, iJordani yabuyela emuva.

The sea saw and fled: Jordan was turned back.

4 Intaba zaqolotsha njengezinqama, amaqaqa njengamawundlu.

The mountains skipped like rams, and the hills like the lambs of the flock.

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

What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou didst flee: and thou, O Jordan, that thou wast turned back?

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

Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams, and ye hills, like lambs of the flock?

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

At the presence of the Lord the earth was moved, at the presence of the God of Jacob:

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

Who turned the rock into pools of water, and the stony hill into fountains of waters.
