< Farawa 11 >
1 To, a lokacin, yaren mutanen duniya ɗaya ne, maganarsu kuma ɗaya ce.
And the whole earth had one language, and the same words.
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 from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and 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 on, let us make bricks, and burn [them] thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and they had asphalt 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 on, let us build ourselves a city and a tower, the top of which [may reach] to the heavens; and let us make ourselves a name, lest we be scattered over 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 children 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, the people is one, and have all one language; and this have they begun to do. And now will they be hindered in nothing that they meditate doing.
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 one another's speech.
8 Saboda haka Ubangiji ya watsar da su daga wurin zuwa ko’ina a doron ƙasa, suka kuwa daina gina birnin.
And Jehovah scattered them thence over the face of the whole 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 was its name called Babel; because Jehovah there confounded the language of the whole earth. And Jehovah scattered them thence over the face of the whole earth.
