Genesis 11
1 And all the earth had one language and one tongue.
Ary ny tany rehetra dia iray fanononana sy iray fiteny.
2 And it came about that in their wandering from the east, they came to a stretch of flat country in the land of Shinar, and there they made their living-place.
Ary raha nifindrafindra niantsinanana ny olona, dia nahita tany lemaka tany amin’ ny tany Sinara izy ka nonina teo.
3 And they said one to another, Come, let us make bricks, burning them well. And they had bricks for stone, putting them together with sticky earth.
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.
4 And they said, Come, let us make a town, and a tower whose top will go up as high as heaven; and let us make a great name for ourselves, so that we may not be wanderers over the face of the earth.
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.
5 And the Lord came down to see the town and the tower which the children of men were building.
Dia nidina Jehovah hizaha ny tanàna sy ny tilikambo, izay nataon’ ny zanak’ olombelona.
6 And the Lord said, See, they are all one people and have all one language; and this is only the start of what they may do: and now it will not be possible to keep them from any purpose of theirs.
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.
7 Come, let us go down and take away the sense of their language, so that they will not be able to make themselves clear to one another.
Aoka isika hidina, ka eny no hanorokoroantsika ny fiteniny, mba tsy hifankahala teny izy.
8 So the Lord God sent them away into every part of the earth: and they gave up building their town.
Dia tao no nampielezan’ i Jehovah azy hiala ho eny ambonin’ ny tany rehetra; dia nitsahatra tsy nanao ny tanàna intsony izy.
9 So it was named Babel, because there the Lord took away the sense of all languages and from there the Lord sent them away over all the face of the earth.
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.
10 These are the generations of Shem. Shem was a hundred years old when he became the father of Arpachshad, two years after the great flow of waters;
Izao no taranak’ i Sema: Rehefa zato taona Sema, dia niteraka an’ i Arpaksada izy roa taona taorian’ ny safo-drano.
11 And after the birth of Arpachshad, Shem went on living for five hundred years, and had sons and daughters:
Ary ny andro niainan’ i Sema taorian’ ny niterahany an’ i Arpaksada dia diman-jato taona; ary niteraka zazalahy sy zazavavy izy.
12 And Arpachshad was thirty-five years old when he became the father of Shelah:
Ary rehefa dimy amby telo-polo taona ny andro niainan’ i Arpaksada, dia niteraka an’ i Sela izy.
13 And after the birth of Shelah, Arpachshad went on living for four hundred and three years, and had sons and daughters:
Ary ny andro niainan’ i Arpaksada taorian’ ny niterahany an’ i Sela dia telo amby efa-jato taona; ary niteraka zazalahy sy zazavavy izy.
14 And Shelah was thirty years old when he became the father of Eber:
Ary rehefa telo-polo taona ny andro niainan’ i Sela, dia niteraka an’ i Ebera izy.
15 And after the birth of Eber, Shelah went on living for four hundred and three years, and had sons and daughters:
Ary ny andro niainan’ i Sela taorian’ ny niterahany an’ i Ebera dia telo amby efa-jato taona; ary niteraka zazalahy sy zazavavy izy.
16 And Eber was thirty-four years old when he became the father of Peleg:
Ary rehefa efatra amby telo-polo taona ny andro niainan’ i Ebera, dia niteraka an’ i Palega izy.
17 And after the birth of Peleg, Eber went on living for four hundred and thirty years, and had sons and daughters:
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.
18 And Peleg was thirty years old when he became the father of Reu:
Ary rehefa telo-polo taona ny andro niainan’ i Palega, dia niteraka an-dReo izy,
19 And after the birth of Reu, Peleg went on living for two hundred and nine years, and had sons and daughters:
Ary ny andro niainan’ i Palega taorian’ ny niterahany an-dReo dia sivy amby roan-jato taona; ary niteraka zazalahy sy zazavavy izy.
20 And Reu was thirty-two years old when he became the father of Serug:
Ary rehefa roa amby telo-polo, taona ny andro niainan-dReo, dia niteraka an’ i Seroga izy.
21 And after the birth of Serug, Reu went on living for two hundred and seven years, and had sons and daughters:
Ary ny andro niainan-dReo taorian’ ny niterahany an’ i Seroga dia fito amby roan-jato taona; ary niteraka zazalahy sy zazavavy izy.
22 And Serug was thirty years old when he became the father of Nahor:
Ary rehefa telo-polo taona ny andro niainan’ i Seroga, dia niteraka an’ i Nahora izy,
23 And after the birth of Nahor, Serug went on living for two hundred years, and had sons and daughters:
Ary ny andro niainan’ i Seroga taorian’ ny niterahany an’ i Nahora dia roan-jato taona; ary niteraka zazalahy sy zazavavy izy.
24 And Nahor was twenty-nine years old when he became the father of Terah:
Ary rehefa sivy amby roa-polo taona ny andro niainan’ i Nahora, dia niteraka an’ i Tera izy.
25 And after the birth of Terah, Nahor went on living for a hundred and nineteen years, and had sons and daughters:
Ary ny andro niainan’ i Nahora taorian’ ny niterahany an’ i Tera dia sivy ambin’ ny folo amby zato taona; ary niteraka zazalahy sy zazavavy izy.
26 And Terah was seventy years old when he became the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
Ary rehefa fito-polo taona ny andro niainan’ i Tera, dia niteraka an’ i Abrama sy Nahora ary Harana izy:
27 These are the generations of Terah: Terah was the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran was the father of Lot.
Ary izao no taranak’ i Tera: Tera niteraka an’ i Abrama sy Nahora ary Harana; ary Harana niteraka an’ i Lota.
28 And death came to Haran when he was with his father Terah in the land of his birth, Ur of the Chaldees.
Ary maty Harana, raha mbola teo anatrehan’ i Tera rainy tany amin’ ny tany nahaterahany, dia tao Oran’ ny Kaldeana.
29 And Abram and Nahor took wives for themselves: the name of Abram's wife was Sarai, and the name of Nahor's wife was Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah and Iscah.
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.
30 And Sarai had no child.
Ary momba Saray; tsy nanan-janaka izy.
31 And Terah took Abram, his son, and Lot, the son of Haran, and Sarai, his daughter-in-law, the wife of his son Abram and they went out from Ur of the Chaldees, to go to the land of Canaan; and they came to Haran, and were there for some time.
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.
32 And all the years of Terah's life were two hundred and five: and Terah came to his end in Haran.
Ary dimy amby roan-jato taona ny andro niainan’ i Tera; dia maty tao Harana izy.
