Genesis 11
1 And the earth was of one tongue, and of the same speech.
Maꞌahulu na, basa atahori sia raefafoꞌ ia olaꞌ rendiꞌ a dedꞌeat esaꞌ a.
2 And when they removed from the east, they found a plain in the land of Sennaar, and dwelt in it.
Ruma sangga lali risiꞌ seriꞌ rulu, losa rae tetuꞌ esa sia Sinear, de ara leo sia naa.
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.
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 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.
5 And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of Adam were building.
Boe ma LAMATUALAIN nema mete sobꞌa nusaꞌ naa, no ume naruꞌ fo rafefelaꞌ 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.
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 ye, therefore, let us go down, and there confound their tongue, that they may not understand one another’s speech.
Malole lenaꞌ Hita onda fo tao se esa-esaꞌ no dedꞌea na, fo esa nda nahine esa dedꞌea na saꞌ boe.”
8 And so the Lord scattered them from that place into all lands, and they ceased to build 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 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.
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 are the generations of Sem: Sem was a hundred years old when he begot 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.
11 And Sem lived after he begot Arphaxad, five hundred years, and begot sons and daughters.
Basa ma, Sem feꞌe nasodꞌa too natun lima, de hambu seluꞌ ana touꞌ ma inaꞌ fai.
12 And Arphaxad lived thirty-five years, and begot Sale.
Arpaksad too telu nulu lima ma, ana hambu ana touꞌ esa, naran Sela.
13 And Arphaxad lived after he begot Sale, three hundred and three years; and begot sons and daughters.
Basa ma, Arpaksad feꞌe nasodꞌa too natun haa telu, de hambu seluꞌ ana touꞌ ma inaꞌ fai.
14 Sale also lived thirty years, and begot Heber.
Sela too telu nulu ma, ana hambu ana touꞌ esa, naran Eber.
15 And Sale lived after he begot Heber, four hundred and three years; and begot sons and daughters.
Basa ma, Sela feꞌe nasodꞌa too natun haa telu, de hambu seluꞌ ana touꞌ ma inaꞌ fai.
16 And Heber lived thirty-four years, and begot Phaleg.
Eber too telu nulu haa ma, ana hambu ana touꞌ esa, naran Pelek.
17 And Heber lived after he begot Phaleg, four hundred and thirty years: and begot sons and daughters.
Basa ma, Eber feꞌe nasodꞌa seluꞌ too natun haa telu nulu, de ana hambu seluꞌ ana touꞌ ma inaꞌ fai.
18 Phaleg also lived thirty years, and begot Reu.
Pelek too telu nulu ma, ana hambu ana touꞌ esa, naran Rehu.
19 And Phaleg lived after he begot Reu, two hundred and nine years, and begot sons and daughters.
Basa ma, Pelek nasodꞌa seluꞌ too natun rua sio, de hambu seluꞌ ana touꞌ ma inaꞌ fai.
20 And Reu lived thirty-two years, and begot Sarug.
Rehu too telu nulu rua ma, ana hambu ana touꞌ esa, naran Seruk.
21 And Reu lived after he begot Sarug, two hundred and seven years, and begot sons and daughters.
Basa ma, Rehu feꞌe nasodꞌa too natun rua hitu, de hambu seluꞌ ana touꞌ ma inaꞌ fai.
22 And Sarug lived thirty years, and begot Nachor.
Seruk too telu nulu ma, ana hambu ana touꞌ esa, naran Nahor.
23 And Sarug lived after he begot Nachor, two hundred years: and begot sons and daughters.
Basa ma, Seruk feꞌe nasodꞌa seluꞌ too natun rua, de hambu seluꞌ ana touꞌ ma inaꞌ fai.
24 And Nachor lived nine and twenty years, and begot Thare.
Nahor too rua nulu sio ma, ana hambu ana touꞌ esa, naran Tera.
25 And Nachor lived after he begot Thare, a hundred and nineteen years: and begot sons and daughters.
Basa ma, Nahor feꞌe nasodꞌa seluꞌ too natun esa sana hulu sio, de hambu seluꞌ ana touꞌ ma inaꞌ fai.
26 And Thare lived seventy years, and begot Abram, and Nachor, and Aran.
Tera too hitu nulu lena ma, ana hambu ana touꞌ telu ena, nara nara Abram, Nahor, ma Haran.
27 And these are the generations of Thare: Thare begot Abram, Nachor, and Aran. And Aran begot Lot.
Ia, Tera tititi-nonosi nara. Tera ana nara, Abram, Nahor, ma Haran. Haran hambu ana touꞌ esa, naran Lot.
28 And Aran died before Thare his father, in the land of his nativity in Ur of the Chaldees.
Haran mate mia kambo na, naran Ur, sia atahori Kasdim ra rae na. Ana mate te, ama na Tera feꞌe masodꞌaꞌ.
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.
Abram sao na Sarai. Nahor sao nala Haran ana feto na, Milka. Haran o ma ana touꞌ esa, naran Yiska.
30 And Sarai was barren, and had no children.
Te Sarai nda mana bꞌonggiꞌ sa.
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.
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 And the days of Thare were two hundred and five years, and he died in Haran.
Tera too natun rua lima ma, ana mate sia naa.
