UMCEBO LOSEVINI LANKULUNKULU | GENESISI 1-2
“Jehova Udala Tintfo Emhlabeni”
(Genesisi 1:3, 4) Nkulunkulu watsi: “Akube khona kukhanya,” kwaba khona kukhanya. 4 Nkulunkulu wabona kutsi kukhanya kuhle. Nkulunkulu wehlukanisa kukhanya nebumnyama.
(Genesisi 1:6) Nkulunkulu watsi: “Akube khona umkhatsi emkhatsini wemanti, wehlukanise emanti nemanti.”
(Genesisi 1:9) Nkulunkulu watsi: “Emanti langephansi kwelizulu akabutsane ndzawonye, kubonakale umhlaba lowomile.” Kwase kuba njalo.
(Genesisi 1:11) Nkulunkulu watsi: “Umhlaba awuvete konkhe lokumilako: lokutsela tinhlavu, netihlahla tetitselo letitsela tinhlavu letiyinhlanyelo ngetinhlobo tato.” Kwase kuba njalo.

Ngelilanga Lekucala, Nkulunkulu nakatsi, “Akube khona kukhanya,” kukhanya kwendlula emafu nanobe bekungacaci kahle kutsi kubuya kuphi njengobe bekukhanyisa umhlaba. Kubonakala shengatsi loku kwenteka kancane kancane, njengoba umhumushi J. W. Watts atsi: “Futsi kancane kancane kwase kuyakhanya.” (Gen. 1:3, I-Distinctive Translation of Genesis) Nkulunkulu wehlukanisa kukhanya nebumnyama, wabita kukhanya ngekutsi Yimini futsi bumnyama wakubita ngekutsi Busuku. Loku kuveta kutsi umhlaba bewuhamba ugucugucuka futsi utungeleta lilanga, kuze kutsi tincenye tawo, lokuyimphumalanga nenshonalanga, titfole kokubili kukhanya nebunyama.—Gen. 1:3, 4.
Ngelilanga Lesibili Nkulunkulu wenta kutsi kube nemkhatsi “lowehlukanisa nemanti nemanti.” Lamanye emanti asala emhlabeni, kodvwa lamanyenti awo aphakanyiswa kakhulu aba ngetulu kwemhlaba, futsi emkhatsini wawo kwaba nemkhatsi. Nkulunkulu wabita lomkhatsi ngekutsi Lizulu, kuze kutowehlukana nemhlaba, njengobe lamanti labengetulu kwemkhatsi bekete tinkhanyenti, inyenti naletinye tintfo letitfolakala esibhakabhakeni.—Gen. 1:6-8; buka sihloko lesitsi EXPANSE.
Ngelilanga Lesitsatfu Nkulunkulu wasebentisa emandla akhe kute abutsele ndzawonye emanti langephansi kwelizulu khona kutovela umhlaba lowomile, futsi wakubita ngekutsi nguMhlaba. Kungalelolanga lapho Nkulunkulu asebentisa emandla akhe hhayi kutigucukela kwemvelo kute ente umhlaba uvete konkhe lokumilako lokufaka ekhatsi tjani, lokutsela tinhlavu, netihlahla tetitselo letitsela tinhlavu letiyinhlanyelo. Konkhe loko bekuchubeka kukhula “ngetinhlobo” tako.—Gen. 1:9-13.
(Genesisi 1:14) Nkulunkulu watsi: “Akube khona tibane emkhatsini wesibhakabhaka tehlukanise imini nebusuku; atibe tibonakaliso tetikhatsi, netemalanga, neteminyaka.
(Genesisi 1:20) Nkulunkulu watsi:“Akube khona tibane emkhatsini wesibhakabhaka tehlukanise imini nebusuku; atibe tibonakaliso tetikhatsi, netemalanga, neteminyaka.”
(Genesisi 1:24) Nkulunkulu watsi: “Umhlaba awuvete tonkhe tinhlobo tetilwane letiphilako: tonkhe tinhlobo tetifuyo, netetilwane letihamba ngesisu, netilo tesiganga.” Kwase kuba njalo.
(Genesisi 1:27) Ngako Nkulunkulu wadala umuntfu waba ngumfanekiso wakhe; wamdala waba ngumfanekiso waNkulunkulu: wabadala, lomdvuna nalomsikati.

KuGenesisi 1:16 ligama lelisento lesiHebheru lelitsi ba·raʼʹ, lelisho ‘kudala,’ alikasetjentiswa. Kunaloko kusetjentiswe ligama lelisento lesiHebheru lelitsi ʽa·sahʹ lelisho “kwenta.” Njengobe lilanga, inyeti kanye netinkhanyenti kukhona kulamazulu lachazwe kuGenesisi 1:1, kwadalwa kucala ngaphambi kwekutsi kufike lilanga Lesine. Ngelilanga lesine Nkulunkulu wachubeka “wenta” tibane emkhatsini wesibhakabhaka kute tikhanyisele umhlaba. Nakutsiwa letibane, “Nkulunkulu watibeka emkhatsini wesibhakabhaka kutsi tikhanyisele umhlaba,” loku bekusho kutsi letibane besetitawubonakala emhlabeni, njengobe tisetulu esibhakabhakeni. Futsi, letinkhanyeti titawuba “tibonakaliso tetikhatsi, netemalanga, neteminyaka,” tiphindze tisite bantfu ngetindlela letehlukahlukene.—Gen. 1:14.
Ngelilanga Lesihlanu kwadalwa tilwane emhlabeni. Kute ngisho nayinye intfo Nkulunkulu layidala kutsi itishintje ibe ngulenye intfo, kodvwa tonkhe tinhlobonhlobo tetilwane tadalwa nguNkulunkulu. Kutsiwa: “Nkulunkulu waphindze wadala tilwane letinkhulu taselwandle kanye nato tonkhe tilwane lephilako letigcwele emantini ngetinhlobo tato, kanye nato tonkhe tinhlobo tilwane letinetimphiko.” Nkulunkulu ajatjuliswa kubona tonkhe tilwane lebekatentile, watibusisa tonkhe, watitjela kutsi “tandze,” futsi betingakhona kutalana ngetinhlobo tato ngoba Nkulunkulu watidala ngendlela yekutsi tikhone ‘kutalana ngetihlobo tato.’—Gen. 1:20-23.
Ngelilanga Lesitfupha “Nkulunkulu waphindze wenta tilwane tasendle ngetinhlobo tato kanye nato tonkhe tinhlobo tetilwane letifuywako netilwane letihamba ngesisu ngetinhlobo tato,” futsi kwaba kuhle, kwafana naleletinye tilwane Nkulunkulu lebekatidalile.—Gen. 1:24, 25.
Naseliyophela lilanga lisitfupha lekudala, wadala lolunye luhlobo lolwehlukile futsi loluphakeme kakhulu kunetilwane kodvwa lolungephasi kwetingilosi. Bekungumuntfu, lodalwe ngemfanekiso waNkulunkulu futsi lonebuntfu lobufana nebakhe. Njengoba Genesisi 1:27 ukhuluma kafishane ngesimo sebantfu ‘lokungulomdvuna nalomsikati’ lebebadalwe nguNkulunkulu, futsi umbhalo lohambisana nawo lokuGenesisi 2:7-9 uveta kutsi Jehova Nkulunkulu wenta umuntfu ngelutfuli lwemhlabatsi, futsi waphefumulela emakhaleni akhe umoya wekuphila, umuntfu waba ngumphefumulo lophilako. Likhaya lakhe belitawuba sepharadisi futsi bekunekudla khona. Kuloku Jehova wasebentisa tintfo latitsetse emhlabeni nakadala, futsi nasekamentile umuntfu lomdvuna, wabese udala umuntfu lomsikati asebentisa lunye lwetimbambo ta-Adamu. (Gen. 2:18-25) Ngekudalwa kwemuntfu lomsikati, umuntfu lomdvuna besekaphelele.—Gen. 5:1, 2.
Kufunisisa Umcebo EVini LaNkulunkulu
(Genesisi 1:1) Ekucaleni Nkulunkulu wadala lizulu nemhlaba.
Isayensi Ikutsintsa Njani Kuphila Kwakho
Budzala bemhlaba kanye nendalo yonkhe
Bososayensi balinganisela kutsi umhlaba uneminyaka lengu-4 billion wabakhona nekutsi indalo yonkhe yadalwa eminyakeni lengaba ngu-13 kuya ku-14 billion leyendlulile. LiBhayibheli alisho kutsi indalo yonkhe yadalwa nini, futsi kute lapho kucinisekiswa khona kutsi umhlaba uneminyaka lemingakhi wabakhona. Livesi lekucala leliseBhayibhelini litsi: “Ekucaleni Nkulunkulu wadala lizulu nemhlaba.” (Genesisi 1:1) Lamavi lawa ente bososayensi bafuna kwati kutsi umhlaba uneminyaka lemingakhi ngekwembono wesayensi.
(Genesisi 1:26) Nkulunkulu wase utsi: “Asente bantfu, babe ngumfanekiso wetfu, basifute; babuse etikwetinhlanti taselwandle, nasetikwetinyoni tasemoyeni, nasetikwetifuyo, nasetikwemhlaba wonkhe, nasetikwato tonkhe tilwane letihamba ngesisu netilwanyakatana.”

Akasuye Umdali. Nobe kunjalo, indvodzana beyinendzima letsite ekudalweni kwetintfo, kepha loko akusho kutsi seyingumdali njengaBabe wayo. Emandla ekudala avela kuNkulunkulu ngemoya wakhe longcwele.

(Hla. 36:9) Kunekutsi indvodzana ibe ngumdali, Jehova wasebentisa yona kute adale tonkhe tintfo. Jesu yena matfupha, udvumisa Nkulunkulu ngekutsi ungumdali, njengobe imiBhalo isho.—Mat. 19:4-6; buka sihloko lesitsi CREATION.

(Genesisi 1:1-19) Ekucaleni Nkulunkulu wadala lizulu nemhlaba. 2 Umhlaba wawulihlane lelingenalutfo, bumnyama babumbonye emanti nekujula kwawo, Moya waNkulunkulu abehla enyuka ahambahamba etikwemanti. 3 Nkulunkulu watsi: “Akube khona kukhanya,” kwaba khona kukhanya. 4 Nkulunkulu wabona kutsi kukhanya kuhle. Nkulunkulu wehlukanisa kukhanya nebumnyama. 5 Nkulunkulu wakwetsa kukhanya watsi: “Yimini,” bumnyama wabetsa watsi: “Busuku.” Kwahlwa, kwasa: Kwaba lilanga lekucala. 6 Nkulunkulu watsi: “Akube khona umkhatsi emkhatsini wemanti, wehlukanise emanti nemanti.” 7 Nkulunkulu wenta umkhatsi, wehlukanisa emanti labengephansi kwemkhatsi nemanti labengetulu kwemkhatsi. Kwase kuba njalo. 8 Nkulunkulu wawetsa lomkhatsi watsi: “Lizulu.” Kwahlwa, kwasa: Kwaba lilanga lesibili. 9 Nkulunkulu watsi: “Emanti langephansi kwelizulu akabutsane ndzawonye, kubonakale umhlaba lowomile.” Kwase kuba njalo. 10 Lokomile Nkulunkulu wakwetsa libito watsi: “Ngumhlaba;” nemanti labutsene ndzawonye wawetsa libito watsi: “Lwandle.” Nkulunkulu wabona kutsi loko kuhle. 11 Nkulunkulu watsi: “Umhlaba awuvete konkhe lokumilako: lokutsela tinhlavu, netihlahla tetitselo letitsela tinhlavu letiyinhlanyelo ngetinhlobo tato.” Kwase kuba njalo. 12 Umhlaba waveta konkhe lokumilako lokutsela tinhlavu, netihlahla tetitselo letitsela tinhlavu letiyinhlanyelo ngetinhlobo tato. Nkulunkulu wabona kutsi loko kuhle. 13 Kwahlwa, kwasa: Kwaba lilanga lesitsatfu. 14 Nkulunkulu watsi: “Akube khona tibane emkhatsini wesibhakabhaka tehlukanise imini nebusuku; atibe tibonakaliso tetikhatsi, netemalanga, neteminyaka. 15 Atibe tibane temkhatsi wesibhakabhaka tikhanyisele umhlaba.” Kwase kuba njalo. 16 Nkulunkulu wenta tibane letikhulu taba tibili: lesikhulu kutsi sibuse imini, lesincane kutsi sibuse busuku. Wenta netinkhanyeti futsi. 17 Nkulunkulu watibeka emkhatsini wesibhakabhaka kutsi tikhanyisele umhlaba, 18 tibuse imini nebusuku, tehlukanise kukhanya nebumnyama.

“Emanga Ekucala Abangela Imiphumela Lebuhlungu”
(Genesisi 3:1-5) Inyoka yayinebucili kwendlula tonkhe tilwane tesiganga labetentile Nkulunkulu Simakadze. Yatsi kumfati: “Kodvwa ngempela Nkulunkulu ushito yini kutsi: ‘Ningadli nome ngusinye nje sitselo setihlahla letisensimini’?” 2 Umfati waphendvula inyoka watsi: “Singatidla titselo tetihlahla letisensimini, 3 ngaphandle kwesitselo sesihlahla lesisekhatsi nensimi; Nkulunkulu utsite: ‘Ningasidli sitselo sesihlahla lesisekhatsi nensimi, ningasitsintsi nekusitsintsa, kuze ningafi.’” 4 Inyoka yatsi kumfati: “Ningeke nife. 5 Kepha Nkulunkulu uyati kutsi mhlazana nisidla, emehlo enu ayawuvuleka, bese nifanana naNkulunkulu nikwati lokuhle nalokubi.”
Injongo YaJehova Itawugcwaliseka
9 Sathane Develi wasebentisa inyoka kute ayenge Eva kutsi angamlaleli Babe wakhe longuJehova. (Fundza Genesisi 3:1-5; Semb. 12:9) Sathane wenta shengatsi Nkulunkulu bekangakabavumeli kutsi badle nobe ngusiphi “sitselo setihlahla letisensimini.” Kwaba shengatsi utsi: ‘Usho kutsi ngeke ukhone kwenta lokufunako?’ Wase sewucala emanga utsi: “Ningeke nife.” Ngemuva kwaloko wase sewetama kwenta Eva abone kutsi kute sidzingo sekulalela Nkulunkulu, ngekutsi atsi: “Nkulunkulu uyati kutsi mhlazana nisidla, emehlo enu ayawuvuleka.” Bekufana nekutsi Sathane utsi Jehova abengafuni kutsi badle lesitselo ngoba uyati kutsi nabasidla batawuhlakanipha. Ngetulu kwaloko, Sathane wabayenga ngekutsi atsi: ‘Nitawufanana naNkulunkulu nati lokuhle nalokubi.’
(Genesisi 3:6) Ngako-ke watsi umfati kube abone kutsi lesihlahla sasifanelwe kudliwa, nekutsi sasibukeka sisihle, nekutsi lesihlahla sasifanele kumhlakaniphisa umuntfu, wakha kulesihlahla wadla. Wanika nendvodza yakhe, nayo yadla.

Eva bekangeke akhone yini kusigwema sono sakhe? Bekangakhona! Loko lokwashiwo ngulenyoka bekuphambene kakhulu naloko lokwashiwo nguNkulunkulu na-Adamu. Kube bekunguwe Eva, bewungativa njani nakungefika umuntfu longamati akhulume kabi ngemuntfu lomtsandzako nalometsembako? Eva bekufanele ente ngendlela leyehlukile, bekufanele atfukutsele kakhulu, kangangekutsi aze angafuni ngisho nekulalela. Ngetulu kwaloko, beyingubani lenyoka kutsi ingangabata kulunga kwaNkulunkulu kanye nemavi emyeni wakhe? Kube bekalihlonipha lilungiselelo lebunhloko, Eva ngabe wacale wayofuna sicondziso kucala ngaphambi kwekutsi ente sincumo. Natsi kufanele sente njalo nangabe sitfola kwatiswa lokuphambene naloko lokushiwo nguNkulunkulu. Kunaloko, singalingisi Eva lowetsemba emavi aloMlingi, futsi wafuna kutentela yena tincumo talokuhle nalokubi. Kuchubeka acabanga kakhulu ngaloku, kwenta lombono waloMlingi wabonakala umuhle kuye. Lokuvumela imicabango lemibi kwaba liphutsa lelikhulu kakhulu, bekufanele ayikhweshise engcodvweni yakhe lemicabango nobe akhulume nemyeni wakhe ngalendzaba njengobe ayinhloko!—1 Khorinte 11:3; Jakobe 1:14, 15.
Adamu Ulalela Livi Lemkakhe
Ngekushesha Eva wenta Adamu kutsi naye one. Singasichaza njani lesento sa-Adamu lesinganangcondvo sekuvumelana nemkakhe? (Genesisi 3:6, 17) Adamu wabhekena nenkinga yekutsi bekatawulalela bani. Bekatawulalela uMdali wakhe yini, loyo lowamniketa konkhe lakudzingako kufaka ekhatsi ngisho nemfati lebekamtsandza, Eva? Bekatawucela sicondziso kuNkulunkulu yini mayelana nalesincumo lebekafuna kusitsatsa? Nobe bekatawuhambisana nesincumo semfati wakhe? Adamu bekati kahle kutsi loko Eva lebekatsembe kutsi utakutfola nasekadle lesitselo lebekungakafaneli asidle bekungeke kuze kwenteke. Umphostoli Pawula waphefumulelwa kutsi abhale atsi: “Adamu akazange ayengwe, kodvwa ngumfati lowayengwa wase uba soni.” (1 Thimothi 2:14) Adamu wakhetsa ngemabomu kungamlaleli Jehova. Kwesaba kutsi bekatawuhlukana nemfati wakhe kwabonakala kutsi bekuhamba embili kunekwetsemba kutsi Nkulunkulu utasilungisa lesimo.
(Genesisi 3:15-19) Ngitawubeka butsa emkhatsini wakho nemfati, nasemkhatsini wentalo yakho nentalo yemfati. Yona iyawufihlita inhloko yakho, wena uyawuluma sitsendze sayo.” 16 Watsi kumfati: “Ngitakwandzisa buhlungu ekukhulelweni kwakho, bube bukhulu kakhulu; uyawutala bantfwana kabuhlungu. Kufisa kwakho kuyawubasendvodzeni yakho, yona iyakukubusa.” 17 Ku-Adamu watsi: “Njengobe ulalele livi lemfati wakho, wasidla lesitselo salesihlahla lengakuyala ngaso ngatsi: ‘Ungasidli,’ umhlaba sewucalekisiwe ngenca yakho. Sewuyakudla kuwo kamatima onkhe emalanga ekuphila kwakho. 18 Uyawukuvetela emanyeva nelukhula, wena uyakudla lokumila esigangeni. 19 Uyawusebenta kamatima, ukujulukele kudla kwakho, udzimate ubuyele emhlabatsini, ngobe vele watsatfwa kuwo; njengobe ulutfuli, uyawubuyela elutfulini.”

Buhlungu lobukhulu lobuhambisana nekubeleka. Nkulunkulu watjela Eva umfati wekucala, ngemuva kwekutsi one, loko lebekutawukwenteka nakabeleka. Kube wachubeka etsembekile, tibusiso taNkulunkulu betitawuchubeka futsi bekatakujabulela kakhulu kubeleka, ngenca “yesibusiso saSimakadze lesenta umuntfu acebe, akengeti kuhlupheka kuso.” (Taga 10:22) Kodvwa nyalo, ngalokuvamile, imitimba yetfu lonesono isenta sive buhlungu. Ngenca yaloko, Nkulunkulu watsi (njengobe kuhlale kutsiwa tonkhe tintfo lativumele kutsi tenteke, tibangelwe nguye): “Ngitakwandzisa buhlungu ekukhulelweni kwakho, bube bukhulu kakhulu; uyawutala bantfwana kabuhlungu.”—Gen. 3:16.

(Genesisi 6:14-16) Yakha umkhumbi ngemapulangwe egofari; udzabule emakamelo kulomkhumbi, bese uwupenda ngelitiyela ngekhatsi nangephandle. 15 Utakuwakha kanje: Budze bemkhumbi butawuba ngemamitha langaba li-133, bubanti bube ngemamitha langaba ngema-22, kuphakama kube ngemamitha langaba li-13. 16 Wente loluphahla lwalomkhumbi lube nesikhala lesingemasentimitha langaba ngema-44, kusuka elubondzeni lwawo. Wakhe nemnyango emhlubulweni wawo. Uwakhe ube netitezi letitsatfu: lesinye sibe ngaphansi, lesinye sibesemkhatsini, lesinye sibe ngetulu.
‘Wahamba NaNkulunkulu’
Lomsebenti watsatsa emashumi eminyaka, mhlawumbe iminyaka lengu-40 kuya kulengu-50. Bekufanele kugawulwe tingodvo, tetfwalwe, tijutjwe, tibatwe bese tiyahlanganiswa. Lomkhumbi bekufanele ube titezi letintsatfu, nemakamelo lamanyenti bese uba nemnyango munye emhlubulweni wawo. Asingabati kutsi bekunemafasitelo kuletitezi neluphahla lobelutse kuphakama emkhatsini kuze lukhone kuwacitsa kahle emanti nalina.—Genesisi 6:14-16
(Genesisi 6:22) Nowa wakwenta konkhe layalwa nguNkulunkulu kutsi akwente.
Wugijime Ngekucinisela Lomncintiswano
13 Yini leyasita letinceku taJehova kutsi ticinisele futsi tiphumelele kulomncintiswano? Naka loko Pawula lakubhala ngaNowa. (Fundza Hebheru 11:7.) ‘Zamcolo lobewutawufike ubulale yonkhe inyama lenemoya wekuphila’ bewuyintfo Nowa ‘labengakaze ayibone.’ (Gen. 6:17) Bewuyintfo lebeyingakaze seyenteke emlandvweni, futsi uyintfo lebeyingacatjangwa. Nanobe kunjalo, Nowa akazange awutsatse njengentfo lebeyingeke yenteke nobe lengemanga. Kungani? Kungobe abekholwa kutsi konkhe Jehova lakushilo, utakwenta. Nowa akazange akutsatse njengalokumatima loko Jehova bekamtjele kutsi akwente. Kunaloko, “wakwenta konkhe.” (Gen. 6:22) Nasicabanga ngetintfo Nowa lobekufanele atente—kwakha umkhumbi, kubutsela tilwane ndzawonye, kufaka kudla lokutawudliwa ngibo kanye netilwane, kushumayela umlayeto wekwecwayisa bantfu, kanye nekugcina umndeni wakhe wondlekile ngekwakamoya—siyabona kutsi lona bekungasiwo nani umsebenti lomelula lobewungamane ‘uwente wonkhe.’ Nanobe kunjalo, kukholwa Nowa labenako kanye nekucinisela kwakhe kwaphumela ekusindzeni kanye nasetibusisweni takhe kanye netemndeni wakhe.
Kufunisisa Umcebo EVini LaNkulunkulu
(Genesisi 7:2) Kuto tonkhe tinhlobo tetilwane letihlambulukile tsatsa tibe sikhombisa letindvuna naletinsikati tibe sikhombisa, nakuto tinhlobo tetilwane letingakahlambuluki utsatse tibe timbili lesidvuna nalesisikati.

Lomehluko bewungabangelwa kutsi lesilwane siyadliwa nobe asidliwa kuze kwentiwe umnikelo ngaso, kodvwa lomehluko bewumayelana nekunikelwa kwato ekukhonteni Nkulunkulu. Ngaphambi kwazamcolo, bekungakafaneli kutsi kudliwe tilwane. NguMtsetfo waMosi lowaveta kutsi silwane ‘sihlantekile’ yini nobe asikahlanteki kutsi singadliwa, futsi loko kwaphela ngesikhatsi ucedvwa. (Imisebenti 10:9-16; Efesu 2:15) Ecinisweni, Nowa bekati kutsi ngutiphi tilwane lebekungentiwa ngato umhlatjelo kuJehova. Ngekushesha nje Nowa nakaphuma emkhunjini, “wakhela Nkulunkulu lilati, watsatsa kuto tonkhe tifuyo letihlambulukile nakuto tonkhe tinyoni letihlambulukile, wanikela kuNkulunkulu umnikelo wekushiswa elatini.”—Genesisi 8:20.

Ngelilanga lesibili lekudalwa, ngesikhatsi kwehlukaniswa umkhatsi, kwaba “nemanti labengephansi kwemkhatsi” kanye ‘nemanti langutulu kwemkhatsi.’ (Genesisi 1:6, 7) Emanti “labengephansi” ngulawo labekavele asemhlabeni. Emanti “labengetulu” bekamanyenti kakhulu, angumswakama longetulu kakhulu kwemhlaba, akha “tiyalu.” Lamanti lawa ngiwo lekehlela emhlabeni ngesikhatsi Nowa angena emkhunjini.
Kufundvwa KweliBhayibheli
(Genesisi 6:1-16) Kwatsi kube bantfu bacale kwandza nemhlaba wonkhe, batala tintfombi. 2 emadvodzana aNkulunkulu atibona letintfombi kutsi tinhle; ase atikhetsela letinye emkhatsini wato atenta bafati bawo. 3 Simakadze wase utsi: “Moya wami angeke asabenta bantfu baphile kuze kube phakadze, ngobe bantfu bayinyama, emalanga abo asayawuba ngiminyaka leli-120.” 4 Kulawo malanga, nangasemva kwawo, kwakunetichwaga letatitalwa bantfu emhlabeni. Emadvodzana aNkulunkulu nasangene kuletintfombi tebantfu, tawatalela bantfwana. Labantfwabato bekungemachawe asendvulo labenemandla neludvumo. 5 Simakadze wabona kutsi kukhulu kona kwemuntfu emhlabeni, nekutsi yonkhe imizindlo nemicabango yenhlitiyo yakhe mibi ngaso sonkhe sikhatsi. 6 Simakadze watisola ngekudala kwakhe umuntfu kutsi abe khona emhlabeni, wadzabuka enhlitiyweni yakhe. 7 Ngako Simakadze watsi: “Ngitabacitsa labantfu lengibadalile emhlabeni; yebo, bantfu, netifuyo, netilwane letihamba ngesisu, netinyoni letindiza emoyeni, ngobe sengiyatisola ngekutsi ngakwenta.” 8 Kodvwa Nowa watfola umusa kuSimakadze. 9 Nankhu-ke umlandvo ngaNowa. Nowa abelungile amsulwa esitukulwaneni sakhe, ahamba naNkulunkulu. 10 Nowa abenemadvodzana lamatsatfu: BekuboShemi, naHhamu, naJafethi. 11 Umhlaba wawonakele emehlweni aNkulunkulu; umhlaba wawugcwele budlova. 12 Nkulunkulu wabuka umhlaba wabona kutsi wonakele, ngobe bonkhe bantfu babetiphetse ngemonakalo emhlabeni. 13 Nkulunkulu watsi kuNowa: “Sengincume kutsi ngibacedze bonkhe bantfu; ngobe umhlaba ugcwele budlova ngenca yabo. Ngitawubabhubhisa, ngibesuse bonkhe emhlabeni. 14 Yakha umkhumbi ngemapulangwe egofari; udzabule emakamelo kulomkhumbi, bese uwupenda ngelitiyela ngekhatsi nangephandle. 15 Utakuwakha kanje: Budze bemkhumbi butawuba ngemamitha langaba li-133, bubanti bube ngemamitha langaba ngema-22, kuphakama kube ngemamitha langaba li-13. 16 Wente loluphahla lwalomkhumbi lube nesikhala lesingemasentimitha langaba ngema-44, kusuka elubondzeni lwawo.

“Umhlaba Wonkhe Wawukhuluma Lulwimi Lunye”
(Genesisi 11:1-4) Umhlaba wonkhe wawukhuluma lulwimi lunye lunemagama manye etintfo. 2 Batsi basahambahamba ngasemphumalanga, bakhandza litsafa eveni laseShinari, bafike bahlala khona. 3 Base bakhulumisana bodvwana, batsi: “Wotani, asente titini, sitishise.” Basebentisa titini esikhundleni sematje, nelitiyela esikhundleni seludzaka. 4 Batsi: “Wotani, sitakhele lidolobha, nembhoshongo lotawufikela ezulwini, sitentele ligama, sitekwatiwa, khona singetiwulahlekelana sisakateke nemhlaba wonkhe.”

IBhabhulona LeNkhulu
Beyibonakala Ngani IBhabhulona Yasendvulo? Lidolobha leseBhabhilona yasendvulo lelisemaTsafeni aseShimari lakhiwa endzaweni lefanako lapho bekwakhiwe khona uMbhoshongo waseBhabhele. (Gen. 11:2-9) Sizatfu lesiyihloko sekutsi kwakhiwe lombhoshongo kanye nalelidolobha besikutsi ‘batentele ligama’ kunekutsi badvumise ligama laNkulunkulu. Imibhoshongo leyakhiwe yabayi-ziggurat beyiveta kukhohlakala lobekwenteka eBhabhulona yasendvulo futsi bantfu baseMesophothamiya bebatsatsa lemibhoshongo njengetakhiwo letibalulekile tenkholo nobe ngabe beyakheke kanjani. Sincumo saJehova Nkulunkulu sekubhubhisa lemibhishongo besikuveta ebaleni kutsi lemibhoshongo beyinemsuka wenkholo yemanga. Nobe kunjalo, ligama lesiHebheru lokwetsiwa ngalo lelidolobha, iBhabhele, lisho “Kusangana,” kantsi ngesiSumerian ligama lelitsi Ka-dingir-ra nelesi-Akkadian lelitsi Bab-ilu omabili asho “Ligede LaNkulunkulu.” Kungako bantfu lebebahlala kulelidolobha balishintjashintja leligama kute bagweme umcondvo wekutsi lalahlwa, kodvwa lachubeka lichaza kutsi kwakulidolobha lenkholo.

Lulwimi
Incwadzi yaGenesisi ichaza kutsi labanye bantfu bangemuva kwazamcolo bahlangana ndzawonye kute bakhe intfo lebeyiphambene nenjongo yaNkulunkulu lebekayitjele boNowa kanye nemadvodzana akhe. (Gen. 9:1) Kunekutsi ‘bandze emhlabeni wonkhe,’ bancuma kubutsana ndzawonye bakha indzawo yabo yekuhlala leyagcine seyatiwa ngekutsi Litsafa laseShinari leseMesophothamiya. Bufakazi buveta kutsi bekutawuphindze kube yindzawo yenkholo lenembhoshongo wenkholo.—Gen. 11:2-4.
(Genesisi 11:6-8) Simakadze watsi: “Ase nibheke labantfu basive sinye, nelulwimi lunye; loku kusicalo saloko labatakwenta, kute labatawutsi nabatimisele kukwenta behluleke kukwenta. 7 Wotani, sehle, siyewusanganisa lulwimi lwabo, khona bangetiwuvana.” 8 Ngako Simakadze wabahlakata nemhlaba wonkhe, bayekela kulakha lelo dolobha.

Lulwimi
Nkulunkulu Somandla wawumisa lomsebenti wekwakha lesakhiwo ngekutsi asuse lebekubahlanganisa, ngekutsi asanganise lulwimi lwabo. Loko kwenta kutsi kube lukhuni kuvana njengobe kusasentjetwa, futsi bantfu bagcina basakateke emhlabeni wonkhe. Lokusanganiswa kwelulwimi lwabo bekutawuphindze kuvimbele inchubekela phambili yalokwakha lobekuphambene netsandvo yaNkulunkulu njengobe besebangeke bakhone kusebentisa kuhlakanipha kanye nemandla futsi bekutawuba matima ngabo kutsi basebentise lwati lwabo lwekwakha, lokulwati lwebantfu hhayi lwati lebalunikwe nguNkulunkulu. (Catsanisa nemShu. 7:29; Dut. 32:5.) Ngako, njengoba lokusanganiswa kwelulwimi kwabangela kwehlukana kakhulu kwebantfu, ngakulolunye luhlangatsi kwasita kakhulu bantfu ngoba kwabavimba ekutibekeleni imigomo leyingoti nobe lebeyitabafaka etinkingeni. (Gen. 11:5-9; catsanisa na-Isa. 8:9, 10) Kute sibone kubaluleka kwekutsi kwayangani Nkulunkulu akumise lokwakhiwa kweBhabheli, kufanele sibuke intfutfuko lekhona lamuhla, bantfu sebanelwati lolunyenti ngetintfo futsi labanye balusebentisa kabi lwati lwabo.
(Genesisi 11:9) Ngako-ke wetsiwa libito kwatsiwa yiBhabheli, ngobe Simakadze wasanganisa lulwimi lwemhlaba wonkhe. Kusuka lapho Simakadze bantfu wabasakata nemhlaba wonkhe.

Kungenteka kube Khenani bekatifaka yena etinkingeni futsi babe wakhe Hhamu bekehluleka kumekhuta. Nowa waphefumulelwa kutsi akhulume ngaloku, futsi wakubona kusengaphambili kutsi lomkhuba lomubi waHhawu bowutawuba nemiphumela lebuhlungu, lokungenteka leyo miphimumela beseyivele icalile ibonakala endvodzaneni yakhe Khenani, futsi bewutawendlulela nakubantfwana baKhenani. Incenye yalesicalekiso yacala kugcwaliseka ngesikhatsi ema-Israyeli ancoba emaKhenani. Labo labangazange bahlaselwe (sibonelo saloko nje, sive saseGibeyoni [Josh. 9]) bona bentiwa tigcili. Ngemuva kweminyaka lelikhulu, lesicaleliso saphindze sagcwaliseka esitukulwaneni saKhenani indvodzana yaHhamu, ngesikhatsi siba ngephansi kwemibuso wesitukulwane saJafethi lebeyinemandla ngaleso sikhatsi lokungumbuso wemaMede NemaPheresiya, iGrisi, kanye neRoma.

Josephus wabhala watsi: “Kancane kancane, [Nimrodi] washintja indlela yebantfu yekuphila kute abacindzetele, acabanga kutsi indlela yekwenta kutsi bantfu bangamesabi Nkulunkulu kutsi abente batsembele embusweni wakhe. Wahlongota kutsi batiphindziselela kuNkulunkulu nangabe afise kuphindze abhubhise umhlaba wonkhe njengobe enta; bekatsi utowakha umbhoshongo lobewutawuphakama kwendlula lamanti kute aphindziselele bokhokho bakhe. Bantfu bawujabulela lombono [waNimrodi] ngoba bebatsi kukugcilateka kutitfoba kuNkulunkulu; ngako bahlangana kute bakhe lombhoshongo. . . futsi wawuphakama ngendlela lemangalisako.”—Ngekusho kwe-Jewish Antiquities, I, 114, 115 (iv, 2, 3).
