1 Umhlaba wonke-ke wawulolimi lunye, lamazwi manye.
Nʼoge ahụ, ụwa niile nwere naanị otu asụsụ, okwu niile bụkwa otu.
2 Kwasekusithi ekuhambeni kwabo bevela empumalanga bafica igceke elizweni leShinari, basebehlala khona.

3 Basebesithi ngulowo lalowo kumakhelwane wakhe: Wozani, asenzeni izitina sizitshise lokuzitshisa; lesitina saba lilitshe kubo, lengcino yaba ludaka kubo.
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: Wozani, asizakheleni umuzi lomphotshongo osihloko sawo sisemazulwini, besesizenzela ibizo, hlezi sihlakazeke ebusweni bomhlaba 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 INkosi yasisehla ukubona umuzi lomphotshongo abantwana babantu abawakhayo.
Onyenwe anyị rịdatara hụ obodo ahụ na ụlọ elu ahụ ndị mmadụ na-ewu.
6 INkosi yasisithi: Khangela, yisizwe sinye, njalo balolimi lunye bonke, njalo yikho abaqala ukukwenza; khathesi-ke akulalutho olungabehlula abamisa ukulwenza.
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 Wozani, asehle, siphambanise lapho ulimi lwabo, ukuze bangezwa, ngulowo lalowo ulimi lomakhelwane wakhe.
Ngwa, ka anyị rịda gaa gbarụọ asụsụ ha, ka onye o bụla ghara ịghọta asụsụ ibe ya.”
8 Ngakho iNkosi yabahlakazela ebusweni bomhlaba wonke besuka lapho; basebesima ukwakha umuzi.
Onyenwe anyị mere ka ha gbasaa nʼelu ụwa niile. Ha kwụsịkwara iwu obodo ahụ.
9 Ngalokho kwabizwa ibizo lawo ngokuthi iBabeli, ngoba lapho iNkosi yaphambanisa ulimi lomhlaba wonke; kusukela lapho iNkosi yabahlakaza ebusweni bomhlaba 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.
