Olubereberye 11
1 Ensi yonna yalina olulimi lumu, nga bakozesa ebigambo bye bimu.
Umhlaba wonke wawulolimi lunye lokukhuluma okufananayo.
2 Abantu bwe baava oluuyi olw’ebuvanjuba ne batuuka mu lusenyi nsi ya Sinaali ne babeera omwo.
Kwathi abantu belokhu beqhelela empumalanga, bafumana indawo evulekileyo eShinari basebesakha khona.
3 Ne bateesa nti, “Mujje tukole amatoffaali, tugookye bulungi.” Ne baba n’amatoffaali mu kifo ky’amayinja, ne kolaasi mu kifo ky’ettosi.
Basebetshelana bathi, “Kasitshayeni izitina sizitshise kakhulu.” Babesebenzisa izitina endaweni yamatshe, lethara endaweni yodaka.
4 Awo ne bagamba nti, “Mujje twezimbire ekibuga, tutuuse omunaala gwakyo ku ggulu; twekolere erinnya, tuleme okusaasaanyizibwa okubuna ensi yonna.”
Basebesithi, “Zwanini, kasizakheleni idolobho libe lomphongolo ofika emazulwini, ukuze sizenzele ibizo singaze sasabalala umhlaba wonke.”
5 Naye Mukama nakka okulaba ekibuga n’omunaala, abaana b’abantu kye baali bazimba.
Kodwa uThixo wehla wazalibona idolobho kanye lomphongolo abantu ababewakha.
6 Mukama n’ayogera nti, “Laba, bali omuntu omu, era boogera olulimi lumu! Era eno ntandikwa butandikwa ey’ebyo bye banaakola; era tewali kye banaateesa kukola ekinaabalemerera.
UThixo wathi, “Nxa bengabantu banye bekhuluma limi lunye sebeqalisile ukwenza lokhu, pho kakukho okungabehlula.
7 Mujje, tukke wansi tutabuletabule olulimi lwabwe, baleme kutegeeragana.”
Zwanini, kasehleni siye phansi sisanganise ulimi lwabo bangabe besazwana.”
8 Bw’atyo Mukama n’abasaasaanya ne babuna ensi yonna, n’ekibuga kyabwe ne batakimaliriza.
Kanjalo uThixo wabahlakaza emhlabeni wonke, bayekela ukwakha idolobho.
9 Ekibuga ekyo erinnya lyakyo kye lyava liyitibwa Babiri, kubanga eyo Mukama gye yatabuliratabulira olulimi lw’ensi yonna. Eyo Mukama gye yabasaasaanyiza okubuna ensi yonna.
Kungakho labizwa ngokuthi yiBhabheli, ngoba khonapho uThixo wasanganisa ulimi lomhlaba wonke. Kusukela lapho uThixo wabahlakazela emhlabeni wonke.
