UGenesisi 11
1 Umhlaba wonke wawulolimi lunye lokukhuluma okufananayo.
And it was all the earth language one and words one.
2 Kwathi abantu belokhu beqhelela empumalanga, bafumana indawo evulekileyo eShinari basebesakha khona.
And it was when set out they from [the] east and they found a plain in [the] land of Shinar and they dwelt there.
3 Basebetshelana bathi, “Kasitshayeni izitina sizitshise kakhulu.” Babesebenzisa izitina endaweni yamatshe, lethara endaweni yodaka.
And they said each to neighbor his give! let us make bricks bricks and let us burn [them] to burning and became for them brick to stone and bitumen became for them to mortar.
4 Basebesithi, “Zwanini, kasizakheleni idolobho libe lomphongolo ofika emazulwini, ukuze sizenzele ibizo singaze sasabalala umhlaba wonke.”
And they said give! - let us build for ourselves a city and a tower and top its [will be] in the heavens and we may make for ourselves a name lest we should be scattered over [the] surface of all the earth.
5 Kodwa uThixo wehla wazalibona idolobho kanye lomphongolo abantu ababewakha.
And he came down Yahweh to see the city and the tower which they had built [the] children of humankind.
6 UThixo wathi, “Nxa bengabantu banye bekhuluma limi lunye sebeqalisile ukwenza lokhu, pho kakukho okungabehlula.
And he said Yahweh here! a people one and a language one [belongs] to all of them and this [is] beginning they to do and now not it will be withheld from them all that they will plan to do.
7 Zwanini, kasehleni siye phansi sisanganise ulimi lwabo bangabe besazwana.”
Give! let us go down and let us confuse there language their that not they will hear each [the] language of neighbor his.
8 Kanjalo uThixo wabahlakaza emhlabeni wonke, bayekela ukwakha idolobho.
And he scattered Yahweh them from there over [the] surface of all the earth and they ceased to build the city.
9 Kungakho labizwa ngokuthi yiBhabheli, ngoba khonapho uThixo wasanganisa ulimi lomhlaba wonke. Kusukela lapho uThixo wabahlakazela emhlabeni wonke.
There-fore someone called name its Babel for there he confused Yahweh [the] language of all the earth and from there he scattered them Yahweh over [the] surface of all the earth.
