Umphongolo WaseBhabheli
1Umhlaba wonke wawulolimi lunye lokukhuluma okufananayo. 2Kwathi abantu belokhu beqhelela empumalanga, bafumana indawo evulekileyo eShinari basebesakha khona.
3Basebetshelana bathi, “Kasitshayeni izitina sizitshise kakhulu.” Babesebenzisa izitina endaweni yamatshe, lethara endaweni yodaka. 4Basebesithi, “Zwanini, kasizakheleni idolobho libe lomphongolo ofika emazulwini, ukuze sizenzele ibizo singaze sasabalala umhlaba wonke.”
5Kodwa uThixo wehla wazalibona idolobho kanye lomphongolo abantu ababewakha. 6UThixo wathi, “Nxa bengabantu banye bekhuluma limi lunye sebeqalisile ukwenza lokhu, pho kakukho okungabehlula. 7Zwanini, kasehleni siye phansi sisanganise ulimi lwabo bangabe besazwana.”
8Kanjalo uThixo wabahlakaza emhlabeni wonke, bayekela ukwakha idolobho. 9Kungakho labizwa ngokuthi yiBhabheli, ngoba khonapho uThixo wasanganisa ulimi lomhlaba wonke. Kusukela lapho uThixo wabahlakazela emhlabeni wonke.
