< Psalms 114 >

1 When Israel came forth out of Egypt, The house of Jacob from among a people of strange tongue,
Ekuphumeni kukaIsrayeli eGibhithe, indlu kaJakobe ebantwini bolimi lwezizwe,
2 Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his realm:
uJuda waba yindlu yakhe engcwele, uIsrayeli waba ngumbuso wakhe.
3 The sea, beheld, and fled, The Jordan, turned back;
Ulwandle lwakubona lwabaleka, iJordani yabuyela emuva.
4 The mountains, started like rams, The hills like the young of the flock?
Intaba zaqolotsha njengezinqama, amaqaqa njengamawundlu.
5 What aileth thee, O sea, that thou fleest? O Jordan, that thou turnest back?
Ulani wena lwandle, ukuthi ubaleke? Wena Jordani, ukuthi ubuyele emuva?
6 Ye mountains, that ye start like rams? Ye hills, like the young of the flock?
Lina zintaba, ukuthi liqolotshe njengezinqama? Lina maqaqa, njengamawundlu?
7 Before the Lord, be in anguish, O earth, Before the GOD of Jacob:
Thuthumela, mhlaba, phambi kweNkosi, phambi kukaNkulunkulu kaJakobe,
8 Who turneth The Rock into a pool of water, The Flint into springs of water.
owaphendula idwalalibe lichibi lamanzi, ilitshe elilukhuni libe ngumthombo wamanzi.
