Amahubo 114

1 Ekuphumeni kukaIsrayeli eGibhithe, indlu kaJakobe ebantwini bolimi lwezizwe,

In the going out of Israel from Egypt, The house of Jacob from a strange people,

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 hath seen, and fleeth, The Jordan turneth backward.

4 Intaba zaqolotsha njengezinqama, amaqaqa njengamawundlu.

The mountains have skipped as rams, Heights as sons of a flock.

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

What — to thee, O sea, that thou fleest? O Jordan, thou turnest back!

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

O mountains, ye skip as rams! O heights, as sons of a flock!

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

From before the Lord be afraid, O earth, From before the God of Jacob,

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

He is turning the rock to a pool of waters, The flint to a fountain of waters!
