Amahubo 114

1 Ekuphumeni kukaIsrayeli eGibhithe, indlu kaJakobe ebantwini bolimi lwezizwe,

When Israel went out of Egypt, and the house of Iaakob from the barbarous people,

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

Iudah was his sanctification, and Israel his dominion.

3 Ulwandle lwakubona lwabaleka, iJordani yabuyela emuva.

The Sea sawe it and fled: Iorden was turned backe.

4 Intaba zaqolotsha njengezinqama, amaqaqa njengamawundlu.

The mountaines leaped like rams, and the hils as lambes.

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

What ailed thee, O Sea, that thou fleddest? O Iorden, why wast thou turned backe?

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

Ye mountaines, why leaped ye like rams, and ye hils as lambes?

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

The earth trembled at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Iaakob,

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

Which turneth the rocke into waterpooles, and the flint into a fountaine of water.
