Genesis 11
1 Now the whole earth used one language and had the same words.
Maꞌahulu na, basa atahori sia raefafoꞌ ia olaꞌ rendiꞌ a dedꞌeat esaꞌ a.
2 As they journeyed in the east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and they settled there.
Ruma sangga lali risiꞌ seriꞌ rulu, losa rae tetuꞌ esa sia Sinear, de ara leo sia naa.
3 They said to one another, “Come, let us make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” They had brick instead of stone and tar as mortar.
Basa se rala hara esa rae, “We! Toronooꞌ re! Ima fo tafefela nusa monaeꞌ esa. Ata musi tao fatu mbilas, fo lalangge losa manggatee. Basa fo ata lutu fatu mbilas naa ra no ter, fo tariri ume naruꞌ esa, tonggo na losa lalai. Naa fo, ata hambu naraꞌ ma dadꞌi leo monaeꞌ sa nda banggi-bꞌanggiꞌ sa.”
4 They said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower whose top will reach to the sky, and let us make a name for ourselves. If we do not, we will be scattered across the surface of the whole earth.”
5 So Yahweh came down to see the city and the tower which the descendants of Adam had built.
Boe ma LAMATUALAIN nema mete sobꞌa nusaꞌ naa, no ume naruꞌ fo rafefelaꞌ a.
6 Yahweh said, “Look, they are one people with the same language, and they are beginning to do this! Soon nothing that they intend to do will be impossible for them.
Ana olaꞌ nae, “Basa atahori ia ra, leo esa, ma dedꞌeat esa. Saa fo ara taoꞌ a ia, feꞌe fefeuꞌ. Mbila-fini esaꞌ, mete ma basa se raꞌabꞌue reu esa onaꞌ ia, naa, ara bisa tao sudꞌi a saa.
7 Come, let us go down and confuse their language there, so that they may not understand each other.”
Malole lenaꞌ Hita onda fo tao se esa-esaꞌ no dedꞌea na, fo esa nda nahine esa dedꞌea na saꞌ boe.”
8 So Yahweh scattered them from there across the surface of all the earth and they stopped building the city.
Boe ma Lamatualain onda tao tasibu dedꞌea nara. No taꞌo naa, Ana tao atahori ra sea-saranggaa risiꞌ basa mamanaꞌ sia raefafoꞌ a. Ara o nda rafefela rakandoo nusaꞌ naa saꞌ ena.
9 Therefore, its name was called Babel, because there Yahweh confused the language of the whole earth and from there Yahweh scattered them abroad over the surface of all the earth.
Naa de, ara babꞌae nusaꞌ naa, Babel, (lii na naeꞌ a onaꞌ dedꞌeat esa, fo sosoa na ‘tabꞌanganga’), huu LAMATUALAIN tao tasibꞌu dedꞌea nara, ma fee se sea-saranggaa sudꞌiꞌ a bee reu sia raefafoꞌ a.
10 These were the descendants of Shem. Shem was a hundred years old, and he became the father of Arphaxad two years after the flood.
Ia, Sem tititi-nonosi nara. Leleꞌ oe mandali monaeꞌ a naloeꞌ too rua ena, nandaa no Sem too natun esa ma, ana hambu ana touꞌ esa, naran Arpaksad.

12 When Arphaxad had lived thirty-five years, he became the father of Shelah.
Arpaksad too telu nulu lima ma, ana hambu ana touꞌ esa, naran Sela.
13 Arphaxad lived 403 years after he became the father of Shelah. He also became the father of other sons and daughters.
Basa ma, Arpaksad feꞌe nasodꞌa too natun haa telu, de hambu seluꞌ ana touꞌ ma inaꞌ fai.

16 When Eber had lived thirty-four years, he became the father of Peleg.
Eber too telu nulu haa ma, ana hambu ana touꞌ esa, naran Pelek.
17 Eber lived 430 years after he became the father of Peleg. He also became the father of other sons and daughters.
Basa ma, Eber feꞌe nasodꞌa seluꞌ too natun haa telu nulu, de ana hambu seluꞌ ana touꞌ ma inaꞌ fai.
18 When Peleg had lived thirty years, he became the father of Reu.
Pelek too telu nulu ma, ana hambu ana touꞌ esa, naran Rehu.
19 Peleg lived 209 years after he became the father of Reu. He also became the father of other sons and daughters.
Basa ma, Pelek nasodꞌa seluꞌ too natun rua sio, de hambu seluꞌ ana touꞌ ma inaꞌ fai.
20 When Reu had lived thirty-two years, he became the father of Serug.
Rehu too telu nulu rua ma, ana hambu ana touꞌ esa, naran Seruk.
21 Reu lived 207 years after he became the father of Serug. He also became the father of other sons and daughters.
Basa ma, Rehu feꞌe nasodꞌa too natun rua hitu, de hambu seluꞌ ana touꞌ ma inaꞌ fai.
22 When Serug had lived thirty years, he became the father of Nahor.
Seruk too telu nulu ma, ana hambu ana touꞌ esa, naran Nahor.
23 Serug lived two hundred years after he became the father of Nahor. He also became the father of other sons and daughters.
Basa ma, Seruk feꞌe nasodꞌa seluꞌ too natun rua, de hambu seluꞌ ana touꞌ ma inaꞌ fai.

26 After Terah had lived seventy years, he became the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
Tera too hitu nulu lena ma, ana hambu ana touꞌ telu ena, nara nara Abram, Nahor, ma Haran.
27 Now these were the descendants of Terah. Terah became the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran, and Haran became the father of Lot.
Ia, Tera tititi-nonosi nara. Tera ana nara, Abram, Nahor, ma Haran. Haran hambu ana touꞌ esa, naran Lot.
28 Haran died in the presence of his father Terah in the land of his birth, in Ur of the Chaldeans.
Haran mate mia kambo na, naran Ur, sia atahori Kasdim ra rae na. Ana mate te, ama na Tera feꞌe masodꞌaꞌ.
29 Abram and Nahor took wives. The name of Abram's wife was Sarai and the name of Nahor's wife was Milkah, a daughter of Haran, who was the father of Milkah and Iskah.
Abram sao na Sarai. Nahor sao nala Haran ana feto na, Milka. Haran o ma ana touꞌ esa, naran Yiska.
30 Now Sarai was barren; she had no child.
Te Sarai nda mana bꞌonggiꞌ sa.
31 Terah took Abram his son, Lot the son of his son Haran, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram's wife, and together they left Ur of the Chaldeans, to go into the land of Canaan. But they came to Haran and stayed there.
Lao esa, Tera nendi ana na Abram, ana feto feu na Sarai, ma umbu na Lot, de ara lao hela kambo Ur. Ara rae reu sia rae Kanaꞌan, te losa kambo Haran ma, ara leo reuꞌ a naa.
32 Terah lived 205 years and then died in Haran.
Tera too natun rua lima ma, ana mate sia naa.
