1 Umhlaba wonke wawulolimi lunye lokukhuluma okufananayo.
Nʼoge ahụ, ụwa niile nwere naanị otu asụsụ, okwu niile bụkwa otu.
2 Kwathi abantu belokhu beqhelela empumalanga, bafumana indawo evulekileyo eShinari basebesakha khona.
Mgbe ndị mmadụ gbasara nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ ha chọtara ala dị larịị na Shaịna biri nʼebe ahụ.
3 Basebetshelana bathi, “Kasitshayeni izitina sizitshise kakhulu.” Babesebenzisa izitina endaweni yamatshe, lethara endaweni yodaka.
Ha gwarịtara onwe ha okwu sị, “Bịanụ ka anyị kpụọ brik, kpọọ ha ọkụ nke ọma.” Ya mere, ha kpụrụ brik kama nkume, jirikwa bitumen kama ụrọ.
4 Basebesithi, “Zwanini, kasizakheleni idolobho libe lomphongolo ofika emazulwini, ukuze sizenzele ibizo singaze sasabalala umhlaba wonke.”
Mgbe ahụ, ha kwuru sị, “Bịanụ ka anyị wuore onwe anyị obodo na ụlọ elu, nke elu ya ga-eru nʼeluigwe, ka anyị si otu a meere onwe anyị aha, ka anyị ghara ịbụ ndị a ga-agbasa nʼụwa niile.”
5 Kodwa uThixo wehla wazalibona idolobho kanye lomphongolo abantu ababewakha.
Onyenwe anyị rịdatara hụ obodo ahụ na ụlọ elu ahụ ndị mmadụ na-ewu.
6 UThixo wathi, “Nxa bengabantu banye bekhuluma limi lunye sebeqalisile ukwenza lokhu, pho kakukho okungabehlula.
Onyenwe anyị sịrị, “Lee! Ọ bụrụ na ha malitere ime ihe dị otu a, ugbu a ha bụ otu ndị, nweekwa otu asụsụ, o nweghị ihe ha zubere ime nke ha na-apụghị ime.
7 Zwanini, kasehleni siye phansi sisanganise ulimi lwabo bangabe besazwana.”
Ngwa, ka anyị rịda gaa gbarụọ asụsụ ha, ka onye o bụla ghara ịghọta asụsụ ibe ya.”
8 Kanjalo uThixo wabahlakaza emhlabeni wonke, bayekela ukwakha idolobho.
Onyenwe anyị mere ka ha gbasaa nʼelu ụwa niile. Ha kwụsịkwara iwu obodo ahụ.
9 Kungakho labizwa ngokuthi yiBhabheli, ngoba khonapho uThixo wasanganisa ulimi lomhlaba wonke. Kusukela lapho uThixo wabahlakazela emhlabeni wonke.
Ọ bụkwa nke a mere e ji kpọọ obodo ahụ Babel nʼihi na ọ bụ nʼebe ahụ ka Onyenwe anyị wetara ọgbaaghara nʼasụsụ ndị niile bi nʼụwa. Ọ bụkwa nʼebe ahụ ka Onyenwe anyị si gbasasịa ha nʼelu ụwa dum.
