< Farawa 11 >
1 To, a lokacin, yaren mutanen duniya ɗaya ne, maganarsu kuma ɗaya ce.
And the whole earth was of one language and of one speech.
2 Yayinda mutane suke ta yin ƙaura zuwa gabas, sai suka sami fili a Shinar, suka zauna a can.
And it came to pass, as they journeyed east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they dwelt there.
3 Suka ce wa juna, “Ku zo, mu yi tubula, mu gasa su sosai.” Suka yi amfani da tubula a maimakon duwatsu, kwalta kuma a maimakon laka.
And they said one to another, Come, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and they had slime for mortar.
4 Sa’an nan suka ce, “Ku zo, mu gina wa kanmu birni da hasumiyar da za tă kai har sammai, domin mu yi wa kanmu suna, don kada mu warwatsu ko’ina a doron ƙasa.”
And they said, Come, let us build a city for us, and a tower, and its top in the heavens. And let us make a name for us, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
5 Sai Ubangiji ya sauko don yă ga birni da kuma hasumiyar da mutanen suke gini.
And Jehovah came down to see the city and the tower, which the sons of men built.
6 Ubangiji ya ce, “Ga su, su jama’a ɗaya ce, su duka kuwa harshensu guda ne. Wannan kuwa masomi ne kawai na abin da za su iya yi, babu kuma abin da suka yi shirya yi da ba za su iya yi ba.
And Jehovah said, Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language, and this is what they begin to do. And now nothing will be withheld from them, which they propose to do.
7 Zo, mu sauka, mu rikitar da harshensu don kada su fahimci juna.”
Come, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand each other's speech.
8 Saboda haka Ubangiji ya watsar da su daga wurin zuwa ko’ina a doron ƙasa, suka kuwa daina gina birnin.
So Jehovah scattered them abroad from there upon the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city.
9 Shi ya sa aka kira birnin Babel, domin a can ne Ubangiji ya rikitar da harshen dukan duniya. Daga can Ubangiji ya watsar da su ko’ina a doron ƙasa.
Therefore the name of it was called Babel, because Jehovah there confounded the language of all the earth, and from there Jehovah scattered them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
