A Passover Song
1 When the people of Israel left Egypt,
when Jacob's descendants left that foreign land,
2 Judah became the Lord's holy people,
Israel became his own possession.
3 The Red Sea looked and ran away;
the Jordan River stopped flowing.
4 The mountains skipped like goats;
the hills jumped around like lambs.
5 What happened, Sea, to make you run away?
And you, O Jordan, why did you stop flowing?
6 You mountains, why did you skip like goats?
You hills, why did you jump around like lambs?
7 Tremble, earth, at the Lord's coming,
at the presence of the God of Jacob,
8 who changes rocks into pools of water
and solid cliffs into flowing springs.
Eimbilo lyOpaasa
1 Aaisraeli sho ya zi muEgipiti,
oluvalo lwaJakob sho lwa thigi po oshilongo shaa shi shaandjawo,
2 Juda osha ningi ehala eyapuki lyOmuwa
Israel osha ningi oshipangelwa she.
3 Efuta olye shi mono e tali yi ontuku;
omulonga Jordan ogwa kankama.
4 Oondundu odha nuka dha fa oomenye,
niikulundundu ongoonzigona.
5 Futa, oshike she ku fadhukitha po?
Nangoye Jordan, owa mwena koshike?
6 Ne oondundu, omolwashike mwa nuka mwa fa oomenye,
nane iikulundundu mwa fa oonzigona?
7 Kakama, ngoye evi, koshipala shOmuwa,
okokukalapo kwaKalunga kaIsrael.
8 Oye ngoka ta lundulula oondundu,
te dhi ningi omadhiya
nomamanya te ga shitukitha oothithiya.
