Genesis 11
1 Nthawi imeneyo anthu onse a pa dziko lapansi ankayankhula chiyankhulo chimodzi ndipo mawu amene ankayankhula anali amodzi.
And all the world was of one tonge and one language.
2 Pamene anthu amapita chakummawa anapeza chigwa ku dziko la Sinara nakhazikikako.
And as they came from the east they founde a playne in the lande of Synear and there they dwelled.
3 Tsono anawuzana kuti, “Tiyeni tiwumbe njerwa ndi kuziwotcha bwinobwino.” Tsono mʼmalo mwa miyala anagwiritsa ntchito njerwa zowotcha, ndipo mʼmalo mwa matope anagwiritsa ntchito phula.
And they sayd one to a nother: come on let us make brycke ad burne it wyth fyre. So brycke was there stone and slyme was there morter
4 Kenaka anati, “Tiyeni tidzimangire mzinda wokhala ndi nsanja yoti ikafike kumwamba kuti titchuke. Kupanda kutero tibalalikana pa dziko lonse lapansi.”
And they sayd: Come on let vs buylde vs a cyte and a toure that the toppe may reach vnto heauen. And let vs make us a name for perauenture we shall be scatered abrode over all the erth.
5 Koma Yehova anatsika kudzaona mzindawo ndi nsanja imene anthu aja ankayimanga.
And the LORde came downe to see the cyte and the toure which the childern of Ada had buylded.
6 Yehova anati, “Anthuwa ndi amodzi, ndipo ali ndi chiyankhulo chimodzi. Izi akuchitazi nʼchiyambi chabe cha zomwe akufuna kukwaniritsa kuchita.
And the LORde sayd: See the people is one and haue one tonge amonge them all. And thys haue they begon to do and wyll not leaue of from all that they haue purposed to do.
7 Tiyeni titsikireko tikasokoneze chiyankhulo chawo kuti asamamvetsetsane.”
Come on let vs descende and myngell theire tonge even there that one vnderstonde not what a nother sayeth.
8 Choncho Yehova anabalalitsa anthu aja pa dziko lonse lapansi ndipo analeka kumanga mzindawo.
Thus ye LORde skatered them from thence vppon all the erth. And they left of to buylde the cyte.
9 Nʼchifukwa chake mzindawo unatchedwa Babeli, popeza Yehova anasokoneza chiyankhulo cha anthu onse. Powachotsa kumeneko, Yehova anawabalalitsira pa dziko lonse lapansi.
Wherfore the name of it is called Babell because that the LORDE there confounded the tonge of all the world. And because that the LORde from thence skatered them abrode vppon all the erth.
