Genesisy 11
1 Ary ny tany rehetra dia iray fanononana sy iray fiteny.
The whole earth was of one language and of one speech.
2 Ary raha nifindrafindra niantsinanana ny olona, dia nahita tany lemaka tany amin’ ny tany Sinara izy ka nonina teo.
It happened, as they traveled from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they settled there.
3 Ary niresadresaka hoe izy: Andeha isika hanao biriky ka handotra azy tsara. Ary ny biriky na taony solom-bato, ary ny asfalta nataony solon-drihitra.
And they said to one another, "Come, let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly." They had brick for stone, and they used tar for mortar.
4 Ary hoy izy: Andeha isika hanao tanàna sy tilikambo ho antsika, ka ny tampony hahatakatra ny lanitra, dia hanao izay hahazoantsika laza, fandrao hiely eny ambonin’ ny tany rehetra isika.
They said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top reaches to the sky, and let us make ourselves a name, lest we be scattered abroad on the surface of the whole earth."
5 Dia nidina Jehovah hizaha ny tanàna sy ny tilikambo, izay nataon’ ny zanak’ olombelona.
The LORD came down to see the city and the tower, that humankind was building.
6 Ary hoy Jehovah: Indro, iray foko ny olona, sady iray fanononana izy rehetra, ary ity vao fiandohan’ ny hataony; koa izao dia tsy hisy azo sakanana na inona na inona izay saintsaininy hatao.
The LORD said, "Look, they are one people, and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do. So now nothing which they plan to do will be too difficult for them.
7 Aoka isika hidina, ka eny no hanorokoroantsika ny fiteniny, mba tsy hifankahala teny izy.
Come, let us go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another's speech."
8 Dia tao no nampielezan’ i Jehovah azy hiala ho eny ambonin’ ny tany rehetra; dia nitsahatra tsy nanao ny tanàna intsony izy.
Then God scattered them abroad from there on the surface of all the earth; so they ceased building the city.
9 Koa izany no nanaovana ny anarany hoe Babela; fa tao Jehovah no nanorokoro ny fitenin’ ny tany rehetra; ary tao no nampielezan’ i Jehovah ny olona ho eny ambonin’ ny tany rehetra.
Therefore its name was called Babel, because there God confused the language of all the earth. From there he scattered them over the face of the whole earth.
10 Izao no taranak’ i Sema: Rehefa zato taona Sema, dia niteraka an’ i Arpaksada izy roa taona taorian’ ny safo-drano.
These are the generations of Shem. Shem was one hundred years old and became the father of Arpachshad two years after the flood.

15 Ary ny andro niainan’ i Sela taorian’ ny niterahany an’ i Ebera dia telo amby efa-jato taona; ary niteraka zazalahy sy zazavavy izy.
and Shelah lived four hundred and three years after he became the father of Eber, and fathered sons and daughters.
16 Ary rehefa efatra amby telo-polo taona ny andro niainan’ i Ebera, dia niteraka an’ i Palega izy.
Eber lived one hundred and thirty-four years, and became the father of Peleg.
17 Ary ny andro niainan’ i Ebera taorian’ ny niterahany an’ i Palega dia telo-polo amby efa-jato taona; ary niteraka zazalahy sy zazavavy izy.
Eber lived three hundred and seventy years after he became the father of Peleg, and fathered sons and daughters.
18 Ary rehefa telo-polo taona ny andro niainan’ i Palega, dia niteraka an-dReo izy,

19 Ary ny andro niainan’ i Palega taorian’ ny niterahany an-dReo dia sivy amby roan-jato taona; ary niteraka zazalahy sy zazavavy izy.
Peleg lived two hundred and nine years after he became the father of Reu, and fathered sons and daughters.
20 Ary rehefa roa amby telo-polo, taona ny andro niainan-dReo, dia niteraka an’ i Seroga izy.
Reu lived one hundred and thirty-two years, and became the father of Serug.
21 Ary ny andro niainan-dReo taorian’ ny niterahany an’ i Seroga dia fito amby roan-jato taona; ary niteraka zazalahy sy zazavavy izy.

22 Ary rehefa telo-polo taona ny andro niainan’ i Seroga, dia niteraka an’ i Nahora izy,
Serug lived one hundred and thirty years, and became the father of Nahor.
23 Ary ny andro niainan’ i Seroga taorian’ ny niterahany an’ i Nahora dia roan-jato taona; ary niteraka zazalahy sy zazavavy izy.
Serug lived two hundred years after he became the father of Nahor, and fathered sons and daughters.
24 Ary rehefa sivy amby roa-polo taona ny andro niainan’ i Nahora, dia niteraka an’ i Tera izy.

Nahor lived one hundred and twenty-nine years after he became the father of Terah, and fathered sons and daughters.
26 Ary rehefa fito-polo taona ny andro niainan’ i Tera, dia niteraka an’ i Abrama sy Nahora ary Harana izy:
Terah lived seventy years, and became the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
27 Ary izao no taranak’ i Tera: Tera niteraka an’ i Abrama sy Nahora ary Harana; ary Harana niteraka an’ i Lota.
Now these are the generations of Terah. Terah became the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran. And Haran became the father of Lot.
28 Ary maty Harana, raha mbola teo anatrehan’ i Tera rainy tany amin’ ny tany nahaterahany, dia tao Oran’ ny Kaldeana.
And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his birth, in Ur Kasdim.
29 Ary Abrama sy Nahora dia samy naka vady ho azy: ny anaran’ ny vadin’ i Abrama dia Saray; ary ny anaran’ ny vadin’ i Nahora dia Milka, zanakavavin’ i Harana, rain’ i Milka sy rain’ Iska.
And Abram and Nahor took wives. The name of Abram's wife was Sarai, and the name of Nahor's wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran who was also the father of Iscah.
30 Ary momba Saray; tsy nanan-janaka izy.
And Sarai was barren. She had no child.
31 Ary Tera nitondra an’ i Abrama zanany sy Lota zafiny, zanak’ i Harana, ary Saray vinantoni-vavy, vadin’ i Abrama zanany; dia niaraka taminy ireo ka niala tao Oran’ ny Kaldeana hankany amin’ ny tany Kanana; dia tonga tao Harana izy ka nonina tao.
And Terah took Abram his son, Lot the son of Haran, his grandson, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram's wife, and with them he set out from Ur Kasdim to go into the land of Canaan. But when they came to Haran, they settled there.
32 Ary dimy amby roan-jato taona ny andro niainan’ i Tera; dia maty tao Harana izy.
And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years. And Terah died in Haran.
