Umbhoshongo WaseBhabhele
1Emhlabeni wonke abantu babekhuluma lulimi lunye. 2 Basuka empumalanga baze bayofika emathafeni eShinari, bahlala khona. 3 Babonisana, bathi: “Wozani sibumbe izitini, sizipheke emlilweni ukuze ziqine!”
Esikhundleni samatshe babumba izitini, esikhundleni sodaka benza ibhithumeni. 4 Base bethi: “Wozani sizakhele isithabathaba somuzi onombhoshongo omude ofinyelela esibhakabhakeni, ukuze ngawo sizakhele igama emhlabeni, singahlakazeki nezwe lonke!”
5 USimakade wehla ukuzobona umuzi nombhoshongo owawakhiwe ngabantu. 6 Wathi: “Bheka, laba bantu basizwe sinye, bakhuluma lulimi lunye. Lokhu kuseyisiqalo nje sezinto abazozenza. Manje sebezokwenza noma yini abazimisele ukuyenza. 7 Wozani sehle, siphambanise ulimi lwabo, khona bezogcina bengasezwani ukuthi omunye uthini komunye.”
8 USimakade wabahlakaza kanjalo-ke bagcwala umhlaba wonke, bakuyeka ukwakha umuzi. 9 Lowo muzi wabizwa ngokuthi yiBhabhele, ngokuba kulapho uSimakade aphambanisa khona ulimi lomhlaba wonke, wayesebahlakaza bagcwala umhlaba wonke.
