IGENESIS 11

Inqaba yaseBhabheli
1Ke kaloku lonke ihlabathi libe lintetho-nye, limazwi manye. 2Kwathi, ekundulukeni kwabo besinga empumalanga, bafumana ithafa ezweni laseShinare; bahlala khona. Bathi abanye kwabanye, Yizani, senze izitena, sizitshise kunene. 3Baba nezitena endaweni yamatye, nebhitumene• endaweni yodaka. 4Bathi, Yizani, sizakhele umzi, nepoma lenqaba elincopho isemazulwini; sizenzele igama, hleze sichithakalele ehlabathini lonke.
5UYehova wehla, eza kukhangela umzi lowo, nenqaba leyo inde, bayakhayo oonyana boluntu. 6Wathi uYehova, Yabona, abantu banye, bantetho-nye bonke bephela; yingqalo ke le yokwenza kwabo; kaloku abayi kunqatyelwa nto bayinkqangiyeleyo ukuyenza. 7Yizani, sihle, sidube khona apho intetho yabo, ngokokuze bangevani ngentetho. 8UYehova wabachithachitha kwalapho ehlabathini lonke; bayeka ukuwakha loo mzi. 9Ngenxa yoko kwathiwa igama lawo yiBhabheli;• ngokuba uYehova wayiduba khona apho intetho yehlabathi lonke, wabachithachitha kwalapho uYehova ehlabathini lonke.
