Amahubo 114

1 Ekuphumeni kukaIsrayeli eGibhithe, indlu kaJakobe ebantwini bolimi lwezizwe,

Alleluia. At the going forth of Israel from Egypt, of the house of Jacob from a barbarous people,

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

Judea became his sanctuary, [and] 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 lambs.

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

What [ailed] you, O sea, that you fled? and you Jordan, that you were turned back?

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

[You] mountains, that you skipped like rams, and [you] hills, like lambs?

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

The earth trembled 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 pools of water, and the flint into fountains of water.
