Genezesi 11:1-32
11 Sonu charu chosi chapasi chenga ndi chineneru chimoza ndipuso mazu ngakuyanana.
2 Pa nyengu yo ŵanthu alutanga chakuvuma,* angusaniya chidika mucharu cha Shinara,+ ndipu angwamba kuja kweniko.
3 Pavuli paki, angukambiskana kuti: “Tiyeni tiwumbi vidina ndipu tiviwotchi ndi motu.” Mwaviyo, angugwiriskiya ntchitu vidina mumalu mwa mya ndipuso phula nge dongu lakuzenge.
4 Sonu ŵanthu wo angukamba kuti: “Tiyeni tijizenge tawuni ndipuso nyumba* yakuthopoka mpaka kufika kuchanya, kuti tijipangiyi mbiri kweniso kuti tileki kumbininikiya pacharu chosi chapasi.”+
5 Pavuli paki, Yehova wangusika kuti wakawoni tawuni yo ndipuso nyumba yakuthopoka yo ŵanthu azenganga.
6 Ndipu Yehova wangukamba kuti: “Awonani! Ŵanthu yaŵa mbamoza kweniso alongoro chineneru chimoza,+ ndipu ivi ndivu ayamba kuchita. Sonu angatondeka cha kuchita chechosi cho angaŵanaŵana.
7 Tiyeni+ tiluti kweniko kuti tikatimbanyizgi chineneru chawu kuti weyosi wakatondekengi kuvwa chineneru cha munyaki.”
8 Mwaviyo, Yehova wanguŵambininiskiya pacharu chosi chapasi+ kutuwa pamalu yanga, ndipu kamana ndi kamana anguleka kuzenga tawuni yo.
9 Ndichu chifukwa chaki tawuni yo yingudanika kuti Babele,*+ chifukwa chakuti kwenuku Yehova wangutimbanyizga chineneru cha charu chosi chapasi ndipuso Yehova wanguŵambininiskiya pacharu chosi chapasi kutuliya kwenuku.
