Genesis 11
1 And the earth was of one tongue, and of the same speech.
Nan konmansman, tout moun sou latè te pale yon sèl lang, yonn te konprann lòt.
2 And when they removed from the east, they found a plain in the land of Sennaar, and dwelt in it.
Apre yo pati soti kote solèy leve a, yo rive nan yon plenn nan peyi Chenea. Yo moute kay yo la, yo rete.
3 And each one said to his neighbour: Come, let us make brick, and bake them with fire. And they had brick instead of stones, and slime instead of mortar.
Lè sa a, yonn di lòt. Mezanmi, vini non! Ann fè brik. Ann kwit yo nan dife. Se konsa, yo pran brik sèvi wòch pou bati kay, yo pran asfat sèvi mòtye.
4 And they said: Come, let us make a city and a tower, the top whereof may reach to heaven: and let us make our name famous before we be scattered abroad into all lands.
Apre sa, yo di. Annou wè! Ann bati yon gwo lavil pou nou rete ak yon gwo gwo kay tout won byen wo ki rive jouk nan syèl la. Konsa tout moun va respekte nou, yo p'ap ka gaye nou toupatou sou latè.
5 And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of Adam were building.
Seyè a desann pou l' wè lavil la ansanm ak gwo kay won moun yo t'ap bati a.
6 And he said: Behold, it is one people, and all have one tongue: and they have begun to do this, neither will they leave off from their designs, till they accomplish them in deed.
Epi li di. Koulye a, gade! Yo tout fè yon sèl pèp. Yo tout yo pale yon sèl lang. Gade sa yo konmanse ap fè. Talè konsa y'ap pare pou yo fè sa yo vle.
7 Come ye, therefore, let us go down, and there confound their tongue, that they may not understand one another’s speech.
Bon. N'ap desann, n'ap mele lang yo. Konsa, yonn p'ap ka konprann sa lòt ap di.
8 And so the Lord scattered them from that place into all lands, and they ceased to build the city.
Se konsa Seyè a gaye yo toupatou sou latè. Yo sispann bati lavil la.
9 And therefore the name thereof was called Babel, because there the language of the whole earth was confounded: and from thence the Lord scattered them abroad upon the face of all countries.
Se poutèt sa yo rele lavil la Babèl, paske se la Seyè a te mele lang tout moun ki rete sou latè, li fè yo pati, li gaye yo toupatou sou latè.

27 And these are the generations of Thare: Thare begot Abram, Nachor, and Aran. And Aran begot Lot.
Men pitit ak pitit pitit Terak yo: Terak te papa Abram, Nakò ak Aran. Aran te papa Lòt.
28 And Aran died before Thare his father, in the land of his nativity in Ur of the Chaldees.
Aran mouri anvan papa l'. Li mouri lavil Our nan peyi Kalde kote l' te fèt la.
29 And Abram and Nachor married wives: the name of Abram’s wife was Sarai: and the name of Nachor’s wife, Melcha, the daughter of Aran, father of Melcha, and father of Jescha.

30 And Sarai was barren, and had no children.

31 And Thare took Abram, his son, and Lot the son of Aran, his son’s son, and Sarai his daughter in law, the wife of Abram his son, and brought them out of Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Chanaan: and they came as far as Haran, and dwelt there.
Terak pran pitit li, Abram, pitit pitit li, Lòt, ki te pitit Aran, ansanm ak bèlfi li Sarayi ki te madanm Abram, pitit li. Li pati ak yo, li kite lavil Our nan peyi Kalde pou li ale nan peyi Kanaran. Men lè yo rive lavil Karan, yo te rete la.
32 And the days of Thare were two hundred and five years, and he died in Haran.
Se la Terak mouri. Li te gen desansenkan (205 an).
