The Tower of Babel (Genesis 11: 1-9)
isiXhosa (Xhosa)
- Ke kaloku lonke ihlabathi libe lintetho-nye, limazwi manye.
- Kwathi, ekundulukeni kwabo besinga empumalanga, bafumana ithafa
ezweni laseShinare; bahlala khona. Bathi abanye kwabanye, Yizani,
senze izitena, sizitshise kunene.
- Baba nezitena endaweni yamatye, nebhitumene endaweni yodaka.
- Bathi, Yizani, sizakhele umzi, nepoma lenqaba elincopho isemazulwini;
sizenzele igama, hleze sichithakalele ehlabathini lonke.
- UYehova wehla, eza kukhangela umzi lowo, nenqaba leyo inde,
bayakhayo oonyana boluntu.
- Wathi uYehova, Yabona, abantu banye, bantetho-nye bonke bephela;
yingqalo ke le yokwenza kwabo; kaloku abayi kunqatyelwa nto
bayinkqangiyeleyo ukuyenza.
- Yizani, sihle, sidube khona apho intetho yabo, ngokokuze bangevani ngentetho.
- UYehova wabachithachitha kwalapho ehlabathini lonke; bayeka ukuwakha loo mzi.
- Ngenxa yoko kwathiwa igama lawo yiBhabheli; ngokuba uYehova wayiduba
khona apho intetho yehlabathi lonke, wabachithachitha kwalapho uYehova
ehlabathini lonke.
