< Mapisarema 114 >

1 Israeri akati abuda muIjipiti, imba yaJakobho ichibva kurudzi runo mutauro wokumwe,
When Israel came forth out of Egypt, The house of Jacob from among a people of strange tongue,
2 Judha akava imba tsvene yaMwari, Israeri ushe hwake.
Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his realm:
3 Gungwa rakazviona rikatiza, Jorodhani rwakadzokera shure;
The sea, beheld, and fled, The Jordan, turned back;
4 makomo akakwakuka samakondobwe, zvikomo samakwayana.
The mountains, started like rams, The hills like the young of the flock?
5 Haiwa gungwa, wakatizeiko, iwe Jorodhani zvawakadzokera shure,
What aileth thee, O sea, that thou fleest? O Jordan, that thou turnest back?
6 imi makomo zvamakakwakuka samakondobwe, nemi zvikomo, samakwayana?
Ye mountains, that ye start like rams? Ye hills, like the young of the flock?
7 Dedera, iwe nyika pamberi paShe, pamberi paMwari waJakobho,
Before the Lord, be in anguish, O earth, Before the GOD of Jacob:
8 akashandura dombo rikava dziva, dombo rakaoma rikava matsime emvura.
Who turneth The Rock into a pool of water, The Flint into springs of water.
