Uumama 11
1 Bara sana addunyaan guutuun afaan tokkoo fi haasaa tokko qaba ture.
The whole earth was of one language and of one speech.
2 Namoonni akkuma gara baʼa biiftuutti godaananiin, Shineʼaar keessatti lafa diriiraa argatanii achi qubatan.
As they travelled east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they lived there.
3 Isaanis, “Kottaa mee xuubii hojjennee ibiddaan gubnaa” waliin jedhan. Isaanis qooda dhagaa, xuubiitti fayyadaman; hapheedhaaf immoo leeleetti fayyadaman.
They said to one another, “Come, let’s make bricks, and burn them thoroughly.” They had brick for stone, and they used tar for mortar.
4 Ergasii, “Kottaa mee akka ofii keenyaa maqaa argannuu fi akka addunyaa guutuu irra hin bibittinnoofneef magaalaa gamoon isaa samii qaqqabu tokko ijaarrannaa” jedhan.
They said, “Come, let’s build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top reaches to the sky, and let’s make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad on the surface of the whole earth.”
5 Waaqayyo garuu magaalaa fi gamoo isaan ijaaraa turan sana ilaaluuf gad buʼe.
The LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men built.
6 Waaqayyos akkana jedhe; “Erga isaan akka saba tokko kan afaanuma tokko dubbatuutti waan kana hojjechuu jalqabanii, yoos amma wanni isaan hojjechuuf karoorfatan kan isaaniif hin dandaʼamne tokko iyyuu hin jiraatu.
The LORD said, “Behold, they are one people, and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do. Now nothing will be withheld from them, which they intend to do.
7 Kottaa mee gad buunee, akka isaan wal hin hubanneef afaan isaanii waliin dhoofnaa!”
Come, let’s go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.”
8 Kanaafuu Waaqayyo achii isaan baasee lafa hunda irra isaan bittinneesse; isaanis magaalaa ijaaruu dhiisan.
So the LORD scattered them abroad from there on the surface of all the earth. They stopped building the city.
9 Waan Waaqayyo achitti afaan addunyaa hunda waliin makeef iddoon sun Baabilon jedhame; Waaqayyo iddoo sanaa isaan baasee lafa hunda irra isaan bittinneesse.
Therefore its name was called Babel, because there the LORD confused the language of all the earth. From there, the LORD scattered them abroad on the surface of all the earth.
