UGenesisi 11
1 Umhlaba wonke-ke wawulolimi lunye, lamazwi manye.
Bere bi, na nnipa a wɔwɔ asase so nyinaa ka kasa koro.
2 Kwasekusithi ekuhambeni kwabo bevela empumalanga bafica igceke elizweni leShinari, basebehlala khona.
Saa nnipa yi tu baa apuei fam no, wɔbɛtoo asase tamaa wɔ Babilonia asase so, na wɔtenaa hɔ.
3 Basebesithi ngulowo lalowo kumakhelwane wakhe: Wozani, asenzeni izitina sizitshise lokuzitshisa; lesitina saba lilitshe kubo, lengcino yaba ludaka kubo.
Wosisee wɔn ho wɔn ho se, “Momma yentwa ntayaa na yɛnto mma ɛmmen yiye.” Na wɔde ntayaa ne ama na esi adan.
4 Basebesithi: Wozani, asizakheleni umuzi lomphotshongo osihloko sawo sisemazulwini, besesizenzela ibizo, hlezi sihlakazeke ebusweni bomhlaba wonke.
Na wɔkae bio se, “Momma yɛnkyekye kurow kɛse, na yensi abantenten a ne sorɔnsorɔmmea du ɔsorosoro wɔ kurow no mu, na yennye din, na yɛanhwete wɔ asase so.”
5 INkosi yasisehla ukubona umuzi lomphotshongo abantwana babantu abawakhayo.
Awurade sian fii ɔsoro baa fam, behuu kurow kɛse a wɔrekyekyere no ne abantenten a wɔresi no.
6 INkosi yasisithi: Khangela, yisizwe sinye, njalo balolimi lunye bonke, njalo yikho abaqala ukukwenza; khathesi-ke akulalutho olungabehlula abamisa ukulwenza.
Awurade kae se, “Sɛ nnipa koro a wɔka kasa baako afi ase redi saa dwuma yi a, ɛno de biribiara a wɔbɔ wɔn tirim sɛ wɔbɛyɛ no renyɛ wɔn den.
7 Wozani, asehle, siphambanise lapho ulimi lwabo, ukuze bangezwa, ngulowo lalowo ulimi lomakhelwane wakhe.
Mommra na yɛnkɔ asase so, na yɛnkɔtoto wɔn kasa, na obiara nnya ne kasa, sɛnea obiara nte ne yɔnko kasa.”
8 Ngakho iNkosi yabahlakazela ebusweni bomhlaba wonke besuka lapho; basebesima ukwakha umuzi.
Ɛnam eyi so maa Awurade hwetee nnipa no nyinaa mu ma wɔpetee asase so nyinaa, maa wogyaee kurow kɛse no kyekyere.
9 Ngalokho kwabizwa ibizo lawo ngokuthi iBabeli, ngoba lapho iNkosi yaphambanisa ulimi lomhlaba wonke; kusukela lapho iNkosi yabahlakaza ebusweni bomhlaba wonke.
Ɛno nti na wɔfrɛɛ kurow kɛse no Babel, efisɛ, ɛhɔ na Awurade totoo kasa baako a na wɔka wɔ wiase nyinaa saa bere no, maa wɔn kasa ahorow. Efi hɔ na Awurade hwetee nnipa no nyinaa mu ma wɔpetee asase so nyinaa.
