UGenesisi 11
1 Umhlaba wonke-ke wawulolimi lunye, lamazwi manye.
Ɛberɛ bi, na nnipa a wɔwɔ asase so nyinaa ka kasa korɔ.
2 Kwasekusithi ekuhambeni kwabo bevela empumalanga bafica igceke elizweni leShinari, basebehlala khona.
Saa nnipa yi tu baa apueeɛ 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.
Wɔdwennwenee ho sɛ, “Momma yɛntwa ntayaa na yɛnto mma ɛmmen yie.” Wɔde ntayaa no sii aboɔ anan na wɔde ama hyehyɛɛ ntam.
4 Basebesithi: Wozani, asizakheleni umuzi lomphotshongo osihloko sawo sisemazulwini, besesizenzela ibizo, hlezi sihlakazeke ebusweni bomhlaba wonke.
Afei, wɔdwennwenee ho bio sɛ, “Momma yɛnkyekyere kuro kɛseɛ, na yɛnsi abantenten a ne sorɔnsorɔmmea duru sorosoro wɔ kuro no mu, na yɛnnye edin, na yɛanhwete wɔ asase so.”
5 INkosi yasisehla ukubona umuzi lomphotshongo abantwana babantu abawakhayo.
Awurade siane firii soro baa fam, bɛhunuu kuro kɛseɛ 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.
Afei, Awurade kaa sɛ, “Sɛ nnipa korɔ a wɔka kasa baako afiti aseɛ redi saa dwuma yi a, ɛnneɛ 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 nya ne kasa, sɛdeɛ obiara nte ne yɔnko kasa.”
8 Ngakho iNkosi yabahlakazela ebusweni bomhlaba wonke besuka lapho; basebesima ukwakha umuzi.
Ɛnam yei so maa Awurade hwetee nnipa no nyinaa mu, ma wɔpetee asase so nyinaa, ma wɔgyaee kuro kɛseɛ no kyekyere.
9 Ngalokho kwabizwa ibizo lawo ngokuthi iBabeli, ngoba lapho iNkosi yaphambanisa ulimi lomhlaba wonke; kusukela lapho iNkosi yabahlakaza ebusweni bomhlaba wonke.
Ɛno enti na wɔfrɛɛ kuro kɛseɛ no Babel, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛhɔ na Awurade totoo kasa baako a na wɔka wɔ ewiase nyinaa saa ɛberɛ no, maa wɔn kasa hodoɔ. Ɛfiri hɔ na Awurade hwetee nnipa no nyinaa mu, ma wɔpetee asase so nyinaa.
