¹Pakubuda kwaIsiraeri Imba yaJakove ichibuda pakati pavanhu vakanga vanorumwe rurimi;

¹When Israel went forth out of Egypt, The house of Jacob from a people of strange language;

²Judha akaitwa imba yake tsvene, Nalsiraeri ushe hwake.

²Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

³Gungwa rakazviona, rikatiza; Joridhani rwakadzokera shure.

³The sea saw it, and fled; The Jordan was driven back.

⁴Makomo akapembera samakondobwe, Nezvikomo samakwayana.

⁴The mountains skipped like rams, The little hills like lambs.

⁵Unonzweiko iwe gungwa, zvaunotiza iwe? Newe Joridhani, zvaunodzokera shure?

⁵What aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleest? Thou Jordan, that thou turnest back?

⁶nemwi makomo, zvamunopembera samakondobwe; nemwi zvikomo, samakwayana?

⁶Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams; Ye little hills, like lambs?

⁷Bvunda iwe pasi, pamberi paShe, Pamberi paMwari waJakove;

⁷Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, At the presence of the God of Jacob,

⁸Iye akashandura dombo, rikava dziva remvura,

⁸Who turned the rock into a pool of water, The flint into a fountain of waters.
