UGenesisi 11
1 Umhlaba wonke wawulolimi lunye lokukhuluma okufananayo.
HOOKAHI no lehelehe, hookahi hoi olelo a ko ka honua a pau.
2 Kwathi abantu belokhu beqhelela empumalanga, bafumana indawo evulekileyo eShinari basebesakha khona.
A i ko lakou hele ana mai ka hikina mai, loaa ia lakou kahi papu ma ka aina o Sinara; a noho iho la lakou ilaila.
3 Basebetshelana bathi, “Kasitshayeni izitina sizitshise kakhulu.” Babesebenzisa izitina endaweni yamatshe, lethara endaweni yodaka.
Olelo ae la kekahi kanaka i kona hoa, Ina kakou, e hana kakou i na pohaku ula, e kahu a moa loa. O ko lakou pohaku, he pohaku ula, a he bitumena ko lakou puna.
4 Basebesithi, “Zwanini, kasizakheleni idolobho libe lomphongolo ofika emazulwini, ukuze sizenzele ibizo singaze sasabalala umhlaba wonke.”
Olelo ae la lakou, Ina kakou, e hana kakou i kulanakauhale no kakou, a me ka halepakui e kiekie ae kona welau i ka lani; a e hookaulana i ko kakou inoa, o hoopuehuia'ku kakou maluna o ka honua a pau.
5 Kodwa uThixo wehla wazalibona idolobho kanye lomphongolo abantu ababewakha.
Iho mai la o Iehova ilalo e nana i ke kulanakauhale a me ka halepakui a na keiki a kanaka i hana'i.
6 UThixo wathi, “Nxa bengabantu banye bekhuluma limi lunye sebeqalisile ukwenza lokhu, pho kakukho okungabehlula.
I iho la o Iehova, Aia hoi, hookahi no ka poe kanaka, hookahi hoi ko lakou lehelehe; eia ka lakou e hoomaka nei e hana: a mahope aku, aohe mea keakea ia lakou ke hana i na mea a pau a lakou e manao ai.
7 Zwanini, kasehleni siye phansi sisanganise ulimi lwabo bangabe besazwana.”
Ina kakou, e iho iho kakou, a malaila kakou hookahuli ai i ka lakou olelo, i hoomaopopo ole ai lakou i ka olelo a kekahi.
8 Kanjalo uThixo wabahlakaza emhlabeni wonke, bayekela ukwakha idolobho.
Pela o Iehova i hoopuehu aku ai ia lakou maluna o ka honua a pau: a oki iho la ka lakou hana ana i ua kulanakauhale la.
9 Kungakho labizwa ngokuthi yiBhabheli, ngoba khonapho uThixo wasanganisa ulimi lomhlaba wonke. Kusukela lapho uThixo wabahlakazela emhlabeni wonke.
No ia mea, ua kapaia ka inoa o ia wahi, o Babela, no ka mea, ilaila o Iehova i hookahuli ai i ka olelo a ko ka honua a pau: a mai ia wahi aku i hoopuehu aku ai o Iehova ia lakou maluna o ka honua a pau.
10 Lo ngumlando wosendo lukaShemu. Eminyakeni emibili emva kukazamcolo, uShemu eseleminyaka elikhulu wazala u-Afazadi.
Eia ka mooolelo na Sema: hookani haneri makahiki o Sema, a hanau mai o Arepakada nana, elua makahiki mahope mai o ke kaiakahinalii.
11 Esezele u-Afazadi, uShemu waphila okweminyaka engamakhulu amahlanu, njalo waba lamanye amadodana lamadodakazi.
Mahope mai o ka hanau ana o Arepakada, alima haneri no makahiki o ko Sema ola ana, a nana mai na keikikane a me na kaikamahine.
12 Kwathi u-Afazadi esephile iminyaka engamatshumi amathathu lanhlanu, wazala uShela.
He kanakolu na makahiki a me kumamalima o ko Arepakada ola ana, a hanau mai o Sala nana:
13 Esezele uShela, u-Afazadi waphila okweminyaka engamakhulu amane lantathu, njalo waba lamanye amadodana lamadodakazi.
Mahope mai o ka hanau ana o Sala, aha haneri na makahiki a me kumamakolu o ko Arepakada ola ana, a nana mai na keikikane a me na kaikamahine.
14 UShela esephile iminyaka engamatshumi amathathu wazala u-Ebha.
He kanakolu na makahiki o ko Sala ola ana, a hanau mai o Ebera nana:
15 Esezele u-Ebha, uShela waphila okweminyaka engamakhulu amane lantathu, njalo waba lamanye amadodana lamadodakazi.
Mahope mai o ka hanau ana o Ebera, aha haneri na makahiki me kumamakolu o ko Sala ola ana, a nana mai na keikikane a me na kaikamahine.
16 U-Ebha esephile iminyaka engamatshumi amathathu lane wazala uPhelegi.
He kanakolu na makahiki a me kumamaha o ko Ebera ola ana, a hanau mai o Pelega nana:
17 Esezele uPhelegi, u-Ebha waphila okweminyaka engamakhulu amane lamatshumi amathathu, njalo waba lamanye amadodana lamadodakazi.
Mahope mai o ka hanau ana o Pelega, aha haneri na makahiki a me kanakolu o ko Ebera ola ana, a nana mai na keikikane a me na kaikamahine.
18 UPhelegi esephile iminyaka engamatshumi amathathu, wazala uRewu.
He kanakolu na makahiki o ko Pelega ola ana, a hanau mai o Reu nana:
19 Esezele uRewu, uPhelegi waphila okweminyaka engamakhulu amabili lesificamunwemunye, njalo waba lamanye amadodana lamadodakazi.
Mahope mai o ko Reu hanau ana, alua haneri na makahiki a me kumamaiwa o ko Pelega ola ana, a nana mai na keikikane a me na kaikamahine.
20 Kwathi uRewu esephile iminyaka engamatshumi amathathu lambili, wazala uSerugi.
He kanakolu na makahiki a me kumamalua o ko Reu ola ana, a hanau mai o Seruga nana:
21 Esezele uSerugi, uRewu waphila okweminyaka engamakhulu amabili lesikhombisa, njalo waba lamanye amadodana lamadodakazi.
Elua haneri na makahiki a me kumamahiku o ko Reu ola ana mahope mai o ka hanau ana o Seruga, a nana mai na keikikane a me na kaikamahine.
22 Kwathi uSerugi esephile iminyaka engamatshumi amathathu, wazala uNahori.
He kanakolu na makahiki o ko Seruga ola ana, a hanau mai o Nahora nana:
23 Esezele uNahori, uSerugi waphila okweminyaka engamakhulu amabili, njalo waba lamanye amadodana lamadodakazi.
Mahope mai o ka hanau ana o Nahora, elua haneri na makahiki o ko Seruga ola ana, a nana mai na keikikane a me na kaikamahine.
24 UNahori esephile iminyaka engamatshumi amabili lesificamunwemunye wazala uThera.
He iwakalua na makahiki a me kumamaiwa o ko Nahora ola ana, a hanau mai o Tera nana:
25 Esezele uThera, uNahori waphila okweminyaka elikhulu letshumi lesificamunwemunye, njalo waba lamanye amadodana lamadodakazi.
Mahope mai o ka hanau ana o Tera, he haneri na makahiki a me ka umikumamaiwa o ko Nahora ola ana, a nana mai na keikikane a me na kaikamahine.
26 UThera esephile iminyaka engamatshumi ayisikhombisa wazala u-Abhrama, uNahori loHarani.
He kanahiku na makahiki o ko Tera ola ana, a hanau mai o Aberama, o Nahora, a o Harana.
27 Lo ngumlando wosendo lukaThera. UThera wazala u-Abhrama, uNahori loHarani. Kwathi uHarani wazala uLothi.
Eia ka mooolelo no Tera; na Tera o Aberama, o Nahora, a o Harana; na Harana o Lota.
28 Kwathi uyise uThera esaphila uHarani wafa bese-Uri idolobho lamaKhaladiya, elizweni lokuzalwa kwakhe.
Make iho la o Harana mamua o kona makuakane o Tera, ma kona aina i hanau ai, ma Ura no ko Kaledea.
29 U-Abhrama loNahori bathatha bobabili. Ibizo lomka-Abhrama lalinguSarayi, kwathi ibizo likamkaNahori linguMilikha; wayeyindodakazi kaHarani uyise kaMilikha kanye lo-Isikha.
Lawe ae la o Aberama laua o Nahora i mau wahine na laua: o Sarai ka inoa o ka wahine a Aberama, a o Mileka ka inoa o ka wahine a Nahora; oia ke kaikamahine a Harana, a ka makuakane o Mileka, a o ka makuakane hoi o Iseka.
30 Kodwa uSarayi wayeyinyumba; wayengelabantwana.
A he pa o Sarai; aohe ana keiki.
31 UThera wathatha indodana yakhe u-Abhrama, lomzukulu wakhe uLothi indodana kaHarani, lomalokazana wakhe uSarayi umfazi wendodana yakhe u-Abhrama, basuka bonke e-Uri lamaKhaladiya baqonda eKhenani. Kodwa bafika eHarani basebesakha khona.
Lawe ae la o Tera i kana keiki ia Aberama, a me kana moopuna ia Lota, ke keiki a Harana, a me Sarai kana hunonawahine, o ka wahine a kana keiki a Aberama; a haele pu mai la lakou mai Ura mai no ko Kaledea, i ka hele ana ma ka aina o Kanaana: hiki mai la lakou i Harana, a noho iho la ilaila.
32 UThera waphila okweminyaka engamakhulu amabili lanhlanu, wafela eHarani.
O na la o Tera, elua ia haneri makahiki a me kumamalima: a make iho la o Tera ma Harana.
