Amahubo 114

1 Ekuphumeni kukaIsrayeli eGibhithe, indlu kaJakobe ebantwini bolimi lwezizwe,

When Israel came 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 turned backward.

4 Intaba zaqolotsha njengezinqama, amaqaqa njengamawundlu.

The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like young sheep.

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 backward?

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

Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams; ye hills, like young sheep?

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.
