UGenesisi 11
1 Umhlaba wonke-ke wawulolimi lunye, lamazwi manye.
HOOKAHI no lehelehe, hookahi hoi olelo a ko ka honua a pau.
2 Kwasekusithi ekuhambeni kwabo bevela empumalanga bafica igceke elizweni leShinari, basebehlala 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 Basebesithi ngulowo lalowo kumakhelwane wakhe: Wozani, asenzeni izitina sizitshise lokuzitshisa; lesitina saba lilitshe kubo, lengcino yaba ludaka kubo.
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: Wozani, asizakheleni umuzi lomphotshongo osihloko sawo sisemazulwini, besesizenzela ibizo, hlezi sihlakazeke ebusweni bomhlaba 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 INkosi yasisehla ukubona umuzi lomphotshongo abantwana babantu abawakhayo.
Iho mai la o Iehova ilalo e nana i ke kulanakauhale a me ka halepakui a na keiki a kanaka i hana'i.
6 INkosi yasisithi: Khangela, yisizwe sinye, njalo balolimi lunye bonke, njalo yikho abaqala ukukwenza; khathesi-ke akulalutho olungabehlula abamisa ukulwenza.
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 Wozani, asehle, siphambanise lapho ulimi lwabo, ukuze bangezwa, ngulowo lalowo ulimi lomakhelwane wakhe.
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 Ngakho iNkosi yabahlakazela ebusweni bomhlaba wonke besuka lapho; basebesima ukwakha umuzi.
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 Ngalokho kwabizwa ibizo lawo ngokuthi iBabeli, ngoba lapho iNkosi yaphambanisa ulimi lomhlaba wonke; kusukela lapho iNkosi yabahlakaza ebusweni bomhlaba 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 Lezi yizizukulwana zikaShemu. UShemu wayeleminyaka elikhulu, wasezala uArpakishadi, iminyaka emibili emva kukazamcolo.
Eia ka mooolelo na Sema: hookani haneri makahiki o Sema, a hanau mai o Arepakada nana, elua makahiki mahope mai o ke kaiakahinalii.
11 UShemu wasephila, esezele uArpakishadi, iminyaka engamakhulu amahlanu; wazala 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 UArpakishadi wasephila 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 UArpakishadi wasephila, esezele uShela, iminyaka engamakhulu amane lantathu; wazala 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 wasephila iminyaka engamatshumi amathathu, wazala uEberi.
He kanakolu na makahiki o ko Sala ola ana, a hanau mai o Ebera nana:
15 UShela wasephila, esezele uEberi, iminyaka engamakhulu amane lantathu; wazala 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 UEberi wasephila iminyaka engamatshumi amathathu lane, wazala uPelegi.
He kanakolu na makahiki a me kumamaha o ko Ebera ola ana, a hanau mai o Pelega nana:
17 UEberi wasephila, esezele uPelegi, iminyaka engamakhulu amane lamatshumi amathathu; wazala 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 UPelegi wasephila iminyaka engamatshumi amathathu, wazala uRewu.
He kanakolu na makahiki o ko Pelega ola ana, a hanau mai o Reu nana:
19 UPelegi wasephila, esezele uRewu, iminyaka engamakhulu amabili layisificamunwemunye; wazala 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 URewu wasephila 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 URewu wasephila, esezele uSerugi, iminyaka engamakhulu amabili lesikhombisa; wazala 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 USerugi wasephila iminyaka engamatshumi amathathu, wazala uNahori.
He kanakolu na makahiki o ko Seruga ola ana, a hanau mai o Nahora nana:
23 USerugi wasephila, esezele uNahori, iminyaka engamakhulu amabili; wazala 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 wasephila iminyaka engamatshumi amabili lesificamunwemunye, wazala uTera.

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 UTera wasephila iminyaka engamatshumi ayisikhombisa, wazala uAbrama, uNahori loHarani.
He kanahiku na makahiki o ko Tera ola ana, a hanau mai o Aberama, o Nahora, a o Harana.
27 Lalezi yizizukulwana zikaTera. UTera wazala uAbrama, uNahori loHarani; uHarani wasezala uLothi.
Eia ka mooolelo no Tera; na Tera o Aberama, o Nahora, a o Harana; na Harana o Lota.
28 UHarani wasesifa phambi kukayise uTera, elizweni lokuzalwa kwakhe, eUri yamaKhaladiya.
Make iho la o Harana mamua o kona makuakane o Tera, ma kona aina i hanau ai, ma Ura no ko Kaledea.
29 OAbrama loNahori basebezithathela abafazi; ibizo lomkaAbrama nguSarayi, lebizo lomkaNahori nguMilka, indodakazi kaHarani, uyise kaMilka loyise kaIska.
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; wayengelamntwana.
A he pa o Sarai; aohe ana keiki.
31 UTera wasethatha uAbrama indodana yakhe, loLothi indodana kaHarani, indodana yendodana yakhe, loSarayi umalokazana wakhe, umkaAbrama indodana yakhe; basebesuka labo eUri yamaKhaladiya, ukuya elizweni leKhanani; basebefika eHarani, bahlala 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 Lensuku zikaTera zaziyiminyaka engamakhulu amabili lanhlanu; uTera wasefela eHarani.
O na la o Tera, elua ia haneri makahiki a me kumamalima: a make iho la o Tera ma Harana.
