Oikumwifa yomokupita mo muEgipiti
1 Israel eshi a tembwilwe muEgipiti,
eumbo laJakob eshi la dile moshiwana
shelaka tali duma,
2 Opo Juda a ninga ouyapuki waye,
naIsrael onhele youhamba waye.
3 Omeva efuta okwe shi mona,
ndele taa i onhapo,
omulonga Jordan owa shuna lwanima,
4 osha nhukifa eemhunda ngaashi eemenye
oimhundangala, ongaashi eedjona.
5 Efuta oove, oshike she ku hanga,
eshi to faduka po,
naave Jordan, eshi to i shanimanima?
6 Nanye eemhunda, eshi tamu nhukaanhuka
ngaashi eedi deemhedi,
nanye oimhundangala ngaashi eedjona?
7 Edu oove, kakama koshipala shOmwene,
koshipala shaKalunga kaJakob,
8 ou ta shitukifa emanya ediva,
eenghungumanya di ninge ofifiya.
1 When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;
2 Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion.
3 The sea saw it , and fled: Jordan was driven back.
4 The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs.
5 What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?
6 Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams; and ye little hills, like lambs?
7 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;
8 Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
