UGenesisi 11
1 Umhlaba wonke-ke wawulolimi lunye, lamazwi manye.
And it was all the earth language one and words one.
2 Kwasekusithi ekuhambeni kwabo bevela empumalanga bafica igceke elizweni leShinari, basebehlala 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 Basebesithi ngulowo lalowo kumakhelwane wakhe: Wozani, asenzeni izitina sizitshise lokuzitshisa; lesitina saba lilitshe kubo, lengcino yaba ludaka kubo.
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: Wozani, asizakheleni umuzi lomphotshongo osihloko sawo sisemazulwini, besesizenzela ibizo, hlezi sihlakazeke ebusweni bomhlaba 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 INkosi yasisehla ukubona umuzi lomphotshongo abantwana babantu abawakhayo.
And he came down Yahweh to see the city and the tower which they had built [the] children of humankind.
6 INkosi yasisithi: Khangela, yisizwe sinye, njalo balolimi lunye bonke, njalo yikho abaqala ukukwenza; khathesi-ke akulalutho olungabehlula abamisa ukulwenza.
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 Wozani, asehle, siphambanise lapho ulimi lwabo, ukuze bangezwa, ngulowo lalowo ulimi lomakhelwane wakhe.
Give! let us go down and let us confuse there language their that not they will hear each [the] language of neighbor his.
8 Ngakho iNkosi yabahlakazela ebusweni bomhlaba wonke besuka lapho; basebesima ukwakha umuzi.
And he scattered Yahweh them from there over [the] surface of all the earth and they ceased to build the city.
9 Ngalokho kwabizwa ibizo lawo ngokuthi iBabeli, ngoba lapho iNkosi yaphambanisa ulimi lomhlaba wonke; kusukela lapho iNkosi yabahlakaza ebusweni bomhlaba 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.
