UGenesisi 11
1 Umhlaba wonke-ke wawulolimi lunye, lamazwi manye.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo ya tene-rĩ, andũ othe a thĩ maarĩ na rũthiomi rũmwe na mwario o ũmwe.
2 Kwasekusithi ekuhambeni kwabo bevela empumalanga bafica igceke elizweni leShinari, basebehlala khona.
Na rĩrĩa andũ maathiiaga na mwena wa irathĩro, magĩkinya werũ-inĩ ũrĩa mwaraganu wa Shinaru, na magĩtũũra kuo.
3 Basebesithi ngulowo lalowo kumakhelwane wakhe: Wozani, asenzeni izitina sizitshise lokuzitshisa; lesitina saba lilitshe kubo, lengcino yaba ludaka kubo.
Nao makĩĩrana atĩrĩ, “Ũkai tũũmbe maturubarĩ na tũmacine wega.” Magĩtũmĩra maturubarĩ handũ ha mahiga, na rami handũ ha thimiti.
4 Basebesithi: Wozani, asizakheleni umuzi lomphotshongo osihloko sawo sisemazulwini, besesizenzela ibizo, hlezi sihlakazeke ebusweni bomhlaba wonke.
Ningĩ magĩcooka makiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũkai, rekei twĩyakĩre itũũra inene, rĩna mũthiringo mũraaya na igũrũ, ũkinye o matu-inĩ, nĩgeetha twĩgĩĩre igweta, na nĩguo tũtikaanahurunjwo thĩ yothe.”
5 INkosi yasisehla ukubona umuzi lomphotshongo abantwana babantu abawakhayo.
No rĩrĩ, Jehova agĩikũrũka oke one itũũra rĩu na mũthiringo ũcio andũ acio maakaga.
6 INkosi yasisithi: Khangela, yisizwe sinye, njalo balolimi lunye bonke, njalo yikho abaqala ukukwenza; khathesi-ke akulalutho olungabehlula abamisa ukulwenza.
Jehova akiuga atĩrĩ na ngoro yake, “Angĩkorwo na ũndũ wa ũrũmwe wa kwaria rũthiomi rũmwe andũ aya nĩmambĩrĩria gwĩka ũũ-rĩ, gũtirĩ ũndũ makaabanga gwĩka ũkaamarema.
7 Wozani, asehle, siphambanise lapho ulimi lwabo, ukuze bangezwa, ngulowo lalowo ulimi lomakhelwane wakhe.
Ũkai, tũikũrũke tũkahĩngĩcanie rũthiomi rwao, nĩgeetha matigacooke kũiguithania mĩario mũndũ na ũrĩa ũngĩ.”
8 Ngakho iNkosi yabahlakazela ebusweni bomhlaba wonke besuka lapho; basebesima ukwakha umuzi.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, kuuma hau Jehova akĩmahurunja thĩ yothe, nao magĩtiga gwaka itũũra rĩu inene.
9 Ngalokho kwabizwa ibizo lawo ngokuthi iBabeli, ngoba lapho iNkosi yaphambanisa ulimi lomhlaba wonke; kusukela lapho iNkosi yabahlakaza ebusweni bomhlaba wonke.
Na nĩkĩo itũũra rĩu rĩetirwo Babeli, tondũ nĩkuo Jehova aahĩngĩcanĩirie rũthiomi rwa andũ a thĩ yothe. Kuuma kũu, Jehova akĩmahurunja thĩ yothe.
