Farawa 11
1 To, a lokacin, yaren mutanen duniya ɗaya ne, maganarsu kuma ɗaya ce.
And all the earth had one language and one tongue.
2 Yayinda mutane suke ta yin ƙaura zuwa gabas, sai suka sami fili a Shinar, suka zauna a can.
And it came about that in their wandering from the east, they came to a stretch of flat country in the land of Shinar, and there they made their living-place.
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 bricks, burning them well. And they had bricks for stone, putting them together with sticky earth.
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 make a town, and a tower whose top will go up as high as heaven; and let us make a great name for ourselves, so that we may not be wanderers over the face of the earth.
5 Sai Ubangiji ya sauko don yă ga birni da kuma hasumiyar da mutanen suke gini.
And the Lord came down to see the town and the tower which the children of men were building.
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 the Lord said, See, they are all one people and have all one language; and this is only the start of what they may do: and now it will not be possible to keep them from any purpose of theirs.
7 Zo, mu sauka, mu rikitar da harshensu don kada su fahimci juna.”
Come, let us go down and take away the sense of their language, so that they will not be able to make themselves clear to one another.
8 Saboda haka Ubangiji ya watsar da su daga wurin zuwa ko’ina a doron ƙasa, suka kuwa daina gina birnin.
So the Lord God sent them away into every part of the earth: and they gave up building their town.
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.
So it was named Babel, because there the Lord took away the sense of all languages and from there the Lord sent them away over all the face of the earth.
