Amahubo 114

1 Ekuphumeni kukaIsrayeli eGibhithe, indlu kaJakobe ebantwini bolimi lwezizwe,

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

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

Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion.

3 Ulwandle lwakubona lwabaleka, iJordani yabuyela emuva.

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

4 Intaba zaqolotsha njengezinqama, amaqaqa njengamawundlu.

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

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

What ailed you, O you sea, that you fled? you Jordan, that you were driven back?

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

All of you mountains, that all of you skipped like rams; and all of you little hills, like lambs?

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

Tremble, you 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.

Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
