Olubereberye 11
1 Ensi yonna yalina olulimi lumu, nga bakozesa ebigambo bye bimu.
Umhlaba wonke-ke wawulolimi lunye, lamazwi manye.
2 Abantu bwe baava oluuyi olw’ebuvanjuba ne batuuka mu lusenyi nsi ya Sinaali ne babeera omwo.
Kwasekusithi ekuhambeni kwabo bevela empumalanga bafica igceke elizweni leShinari, basebehlala khona.
3 Ne bateesa nti, “Mujje tukole amatoffaali, tugookye bulungi.” Ne baba n’amatoffaali mu kifo ky’amayinja, ne kolaasi mu kifo ky’ettosi.
Basebesithi ngulowo lalowo kumakhelwane wakhe: Wozani, asenzeni izitina sizitshise lokuzitshisa; lesitina saba lilitshe kubo, lengcino yaba ludaka kubo.
4 Awo ne bagamba nti, “Mujje twezimbire ekibuga, tutuuse omunaala gwakyo ku ggulu; twekolere erinnya, tuleme okusaasaanyizibwa okubuna ensi yonna.”
Basebesithi: Wozani, asizakheleni umuzi lomphotshongo osihloko sawo sisemazulwini, besesizenzela ibizo, hlezi sihlakazeke ebusweni bomhlaba wonke.
5 Naye Mukama nakka okulaba ekibuga n’omunaala, abaana b’abantu kye baali bazimba.
INkosi yasisehla ukubona umuzi lomphotshongo abantwana babantu abawakhayo.
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.
INkosi yasisithi: Khangela, yisizwe sinye, njalo balolimi lunye bonke, njalo yikho abaqala ukukwenza; khathesi-ke akulalutho olungabehlula abamisa ukulwenza.
7 Mujje, tukke wansi tutabuletabule olulimi lwabwe, baleme kutegeeragana.”
Wozani, asehle, siphambanise lapho ulimi lwabo, ukuze bangezwa, ngulowo lalowo ulimi lomakhelwane wakhe.
8 Bw’atyo Mukama n’abasaasaanya ne babuna ensi yonna, n’ekibuga kyabwe ne batakimaliriza.
Ngakho iNkosi yabahlakazela ebusweni bomhlaba wonke besuka lapho; basebesima ukwakha umuzi.
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.
Ngalokho kwabizwa ibizo lawo ngokuthi iBabeli, ngoba lapho iNkosi yaphambanisa ulimi lomhlaba wonke; kusukela lapho iNkosi yabahlakaza ebusweni bomhlaba wonke.
