Mapisarema 114

1 Israeri akati abuda muIjipiti, imba yaJakobho ichibva kurudzi runo mutauro wokumwe,

When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a barbarous people:

2 Judha akava imba tsvene yaMwari, Israeri ushe hwake.

Judea made his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

3 Gungwa rakazviona rikatiza, Jorodhani rwakadzokera shure;

The sea saw and fled: Jordan was turned back.

4 makomo akakwakuka samakondobwe, zvikomo samakwayana.

The mountains skipped like rams, and the hills like the lambs of the flock.

5 Haiwa gungwa, wakatizeiko, iwe Jorodhani zvawakadzokera shure,

What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou didst flee: and thou, O Jordan, that thou wast turned back?

6 imi makomo zvamakakwakuka samakondobwe, nemi zvikomo, samakwayana?

Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams, and ye hills, like lambs of the flock?

7 Dedera, iwe nyika pamberi paShe, pamberi paMwari waJakobho,

At the presence of the Lord the earth was moved, at the presence of the God of Jacob:

8 akashandura dombo rikava dziva, dombo rakaoma rikava matsime emvura.

Who turned the rock into pools of water, and the stony hill into fountains of waters.
