11 Icyo gihe abantu bose bo ku isi bavugaga ururimi rumwe kandi bakoresha amagambo amwe. 2 Abantu bakomeje kugenda berekeza iburasirazuba, babona ikibaya mu gihugu cy’i Shinari*+ maze barahatura. 3 Bamwe babwira abandi bati: “Nimuze tubumbe amatafari tuyatwike.” Nuko bakoresha amatafari aho gukoresha amabuye, bayafatanyisha godoro.* 4 Hanyuma baravuga bati: “Nimuze twiyubakire umujyi, twubake n’umunara ugera ku ijuru maze tube ibyamamare. Bizatuma tudatatana ngo dukwire ku isi hose.”+

5 Yehova yitegereza abantu kandi abona umujyi n’umunara bari bubatse. 6 Hanyuma Yehova aravuga ati: “Aba bantu bunze ubumwe kandi bose bavuga ururimi rumwe,+ none dore ibyo batangiye gukora. Ubu nta kintu baziyemeza gukora ngo bananirwe kukigeraho. 7 Reka noneho dutume+ bavuga indimi zitandukanye* kugira ngo buri muntu atumva ibyo undi avuga.” 8 Nuko Yehova arabatatanya bakwira ku isi hose,+ amaherezo bareka kubaka uwo mujyi. 9 Ni yo mpamvu uwo mujyi wiswe Babeli,*+ kuko icyo gihe ari bwo Yehova yatumye abantu bavuga indimi zitandukanye. Kandi ni ho Yehova yabatatanyirije bakwira ku isi hose.
