Ndebele - Genesis - 11

11:1  Umhlaba wonke-ke wawulolimi lunye, lamazwi manye.

11:2  Kwasekusithi ekuhambeni kwabo bevela empumalanga bafica igceke elizweni leShinari, basebehlala khona.

11:3  Basebesithi ngulowo lalowo kumakhelwane wakhe: Wozani, asenzeni izitina sizitshise lokuzitshisa; lesitina saba lilitshe kubo, lengcino yaba ludaka kubo.

11:4  Basebesithi: Wozani, asizakheleni umuzi lomphotshongo osihloko sawo sisemazulwini, besesizenzela ibizo, hlezi sihlakazeke ebusweni bomhlaba wonke.

11:5  INkosi yasisehla ukubona umuzi lomphotshongo abantwana babantu abawakhayo.

11:6  INkosi yasisithi: Khangela, yisizwe sinye, njalo balolimi lunye bonke, njalo yikho abaqala ukukwenza; khathesi-ke akulalutho olungabehlula abamisa ukulwenza.

11:7  Wozani, asehle, siphambanise lapho ulimi lwabo, ukuze bangezwa, ngulowo lalowo ulimi lomakhelwane wakhe.

11:8  Ngakho iNkosi yabahlakazela ebusweni bomhlaba wonke besuka lapho; basebesima ukwakha umuzi.

11:9  Ngalokho kwabizwa ibizo lawo ngokuthi iBabeli, ngoba lapho iNkosi yaphambanisa ulimi lomhlaba wonke; kusukela lapho iNkosi yabahlakaza ebusweni bomhlaba wonke.

11:10  Lezi yizizukulwana zikaShemu. UShemu wayeleminyaka elikhulu, wasezala uArpakishadi, iminyaka emibili emva kukazamcolo.

11:11  UShemu wasephila, esezele uArpakishadi, iminyaka engamakhulu amahlanu; wazala amadodana lamadodakazi.

11:12  UArpakishadi wasephila iminyaka engamatshumi amathathu lanhlanu, wazala uShela.

11:13  UArpakishadi wasephila, esezele uShela, iminyaka engamakhulu amane lantathu; wazala amadodana lamadodakazi.

11:14  UShela wasephila iminyaka engamatshumi amathathu, wazala uEberi.

11:15  UShela wasephila, esezele uEberi, iminyaka engamakhulu amane lantathu; wazala amadodana lamadodakazi.

11:16  UEberi wasephila iminyaka engamatshumi amathathu lane, wazala uPelegi.

11:17  UEberi wasephila, esezele uPelegi, iminyaka engamakhulu amane lamatshumi amathathu; wazala amadodana lamadodakazi.

11:18  UPelegi wasephila iminyaka engamatshumi amathathu, wazala uRewu.

11:19  UPelegi wasephila, esezele uRewu, iminyaka engamakhulu amabili layisificamunwemunye; wazala amadodana lamadodakazi.

11:20  URewu wasephila iminyaka engamatshumi amathathu lambili, wazala uSerugi.

11:21  URewu wasephila, esezele uSerugi, iminyaka engamakhulu amabili lesikhombisa; wazala amadodana lamadodakazi.

11:22  USerugi wasephila iminyaka engamatshumi amathathu, wazala uNahori.

11:23  USerugi wasephila, esezele uNahori, iminyaka engamakhulu amabili; wazala amadodana lamadodakazi.

11:24  UNahori wasephila iminyaka engamatshumi amabili lesificamunwemunye, wazala uTera.

11:25  UNahori wasephila, esezele uTera, iminyaka elikhulu lamatshumi ayisificamunwemunye; wazala amadodana lamadodakazi.

11:26  UTera wasephila iminyaka engamatshumi ayisikhombisa, wazala uAbrama, uNahori loHarani.

11:27  Lalezi yizizukulwana zikaTera. UTera wazala uAbrama, uNahori loHarani; uHarani wasezala uLothi.

11:28  UHarani wasesifa phambi kukayise uTera, elizweni lokuzalwa kwakhe, eUri yamaKhaladiya.

11:29  OAbrama loNahori basebezithathela abafazi; ibizo lomkaAbrama nguSarayi, lebizo lomkaNahori nguMilka, indodakazi kaHarani, uyise kaMilka loyise kaIska.

11:30  Kodwa uSarayi wayeyinyumba; wayengelamntwana.

11:31  UTera wasethatha uAbrama indodana yakhe, loLothi indodana kaHarani, indodana yendodana yakhe, loSarayi umalokazana wakhe, umkaAbrama indodana yakhe; basebesuka labo eUri yamaKhaladiya, ukuya elizweni leKhanani; basebefika eHarani, bahlala khona.

11:32  Lensuku zikaTera zaziyiminyaka engamakhulu amabili lanhlanu; uTera wasefela eHarani.
