N te bong aei ao te taetae n I-Matang e a korakora rikirakena bwa te taetae ae nangi bainaki i aon te aonaaba ni kabuta. E a korakora ngkai te ien ma ianena (mixed marriages), are e nangi manga karika te okirikaaki nakon tii teuana taetaen te aonaaba (one worldwide language). A aki konaa n reitaki uoman aomata aika a kakaokoro aia reeti (taetae) ma tii rinanon te taetae teuana ae taabangaki.
E Rikirake te Aonaaba ae e Onrake n te Riaboroo
Naake a maiu imwiin te Ieka bon kaain te utu teuana, are ana utu Noa. Kaaina bon Noa, ma buuna, natiia ake teniman ma buuia. Botanaomata aika a manga riki imwiina a bon riki mai iroun te utu ae teuana aio.
Te B’aibara e aki toki n manewea teniua (3) te aonaaba (worlds) – te aonaaba are e a tia n rabunaki n te Ieka, te aonaaba ae onrake n te riaboroo aio, ao te aonaaba are e na roko.
Ngke e iiki nako ranin te ieka, ao te aonaaba aio e bon tii kaainaki iroun te utu ae tii teuana ae ana utu Noa. Ao Tiem, ae mainaina (white) ao e ien ma te aine ae mainaina naba, e a katea oin ana utu. Aam, ae ien ma te aine ae batabata (black), e kariki naati aika batabata ao e kateirakea naba oin ana utu. Iabeta, ae ien ma te aine ae baabooboo (yellow), e katea naba ana utu, aika a baabooboo kuniia. Rongorongon aei ae koreaki n te B’aibara e taekinaki iai “utu” (families), ma e aki katuruturuaki te “reeti” (race).
Te bwai ae riki n te Tauwa ae Babera: te Atua e kamwaita aia taetae aomata bwa ana konaa ni reitake ma raoiia aika a kakaokoro n oin aia taetae ae e okoro.
Ao imwiin te tai, ao a rikirake utu, te utu teuana ma oin ana taetae. E kaantaningaia te Atua bwa e na iai te kakaokoroaki n reeti ma abana (geographical segregation), tiaki te irengarengan n reeti (integration of races).
E katei kaawa aika totoa Nimrote – Babiron, Ereka, Akata, Karene, Niniwe, ao a mwaiti riki. A bon tei kaawa aikai ma oin aia tautaeka (local government). Imwiin te tai ao kaawa/tautaeka aikai a rikirake bwa botanaomata aika bubura (nations) ma aia oin tautaeka (national governments). Mai buakoia botanaomata (nations) aikai bon Chaldea, Egypt ao Assyria. Te aro (religion) are e kateirakea Nei Siemiramis e bon uotaki nakoia botanaomata aikai n oin aia taetae.

E kateaki man te aekan tautaeka (government system) are e kateirakea Nimrote, ao katein te aro (religious system) are e kateirakea Nei Siemiramis (n ana tai ni uea Nimrote).

Tua nikabane a bon kateaki iroun te aomata – irouia uea (kings) ma taan taua te tautaeka (despots), ke rabata n karaoi tua, n ai aron te kauntira, te auti-n-maungatabu. A rikirake kateia aomata (social customs developed) ma aia waaki nako (all facets of civilization) are a karika aron tein mangaongaon ara aonaaba (chaotic world) n taai aikai.

A karikaki aomata nako aon te aonaaba ibukin te tibwanga (purpose) teuana ae nangi kamimitong (glorious) ao e nangi tamaroa (wonderful).
E na kamwaita aekan te Atua!

E nanonaki ikai anuan Tamnein te Atua are e nangi kororaoi (perfect spiritual character of God). E na bon kakoroaki bukin aei nakoiia aomata.
Ma ibukin kakoroan bukina, ao te aomata e riai n karaoa (make) oin ana babaire (own decision). Rutibeero e a tia n rinea kawaina (chosen a course) ae birinako (opposite direction) mai roun te Atua.

E aki tangira (rejected) ana ataibwai te tamnei (spiritual knowledge) mai roun te Atua ao e aki kan mwiokoa (reliance) te Atua ibukin karekean te maiu n utobia (utopia).
E katea ana aonaaba te aomata i aon mwiokana i bon irouna n akea kainanon te Atua.
