< Genesis 11 >

1 Then the whole earth was of one language and one speache.
Le ɣe ma ɣi me la, amegbetɔƒome blibo la doa gbe ɖeka ko.
2 And as they went from the East, they found a plaine in the land of Shinar, and there they abode.
Esi amewo de asi agbɔsɔsɔ ɖe edzi me la, woɖo ta ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo, eye woke ɖe anyigba aɖe si sɔ la ŋu le Sinar. Eteƒe medidi kura hafi amewo sɔ gbɔ ɖe afi sia o.
3 And they said one to another, Come, let vs make bricke, and burne it in the fire. So they had bricke for stone, and slime had they in steade of morter.
Wogblɔ na wo nɔewo be, “Miva, mina míame anyikpewo, míaƒo dzo wo nyuie.” Wowɔ anyikpe ŋu dɔ ɖe kpe ŋutɔ teƒe kple aŋɔ yibɔ ɖe anyi teƒe.
4 Also they said, Goe to, let vs builde vs a citie and a towre, whose top may reache vnto the heauen, that we may get vs a name, lest we be scattered vpon the whole earth.
Woyi edzi gblɔ be, “Miva, mina míatso du na mía ɖokui, eye míawɔ gbetakpɔxɔ kɔkɔ aɖe wòayi aɖatɔ dziƒo, be míaƒe ŋkɔ nade du ne míagakaka ɖe anyigba katã dzi o.”
5 But the Lord came downe, to see the citie and towre, which the sonnes of men builded.
Ke esi Yehowa va kpɔ dua kple mɔ si tum amegbetɔviwo nɔ la,
6 And the Lord said, Beholde, the people is one, and they all haue one language, and this they begin to doe, neither can they now be stopped from whatsoeuer they haue imagined to do.
egblɔ be, “Ne woate ŋu awɔ nu siawo katã fifia, esi wònye azɔ koe wodze sii be gbe ɖeka gblɔm yewole, eye dukɔ ɖeka yewonye la, mibu nu si woava wɔ emegbe la ŋu kpɔ! Naneke meli si woado kpo wɔwɔ o.
7 Come on, let vs goe downe, and there confound their language, that euery one perceiue not anothers speache.
Mina míaɖi ayi anyigba dzi, eye míatɔtɔ woƒe gbe ale be womagase wo nɔewo gɔme o!”
8 So ye Lord scattered them from thence vpon all the earth, and they left off to build the citie.
Ale Yehowa ka wo katã hlẽ ɖe anyigba blibo la dzi. Ale du la tsotso nu tso.
9 Therefore the name of it was called Babel, because the Lord did there confounde the language of all the earth: from thence then did the Lord scatter them vpon all the earth.
Eya ta wona ŋkɔ du ma be Babel si gɔmee nye, “Tɔtɔ,” elabena afi ma Yehowa tɔtɔ gbe na amewo le, eye wokaka ɖe afi sia afi le anyigba blibo la dzi.
10 These are the generations of Shem: Shem was an hundreth yeere olde, and begate Arpachshad two yeere after the flood.
Esiae nye Sem ƒe ŋutinya. eve le tsiɖɔɖɔ megbe, esime Sem xɔ ƒe alafa ɖeka la, edzi Arfaxad.
11 And Shem liued, after he begate Arpachshad, fiue hundreth yeeres, and begate sonnes and daughters.
Esi wòdzi Arfaxad megbe la, eganɔ agbe ƒe alafa atɔ̃, eye wògadzi viŋutsu kple vinyɔnu bubuwo.
12 Also Arpachshad liued fiue and thirtie yeeres, and begate Shelah.
Esi Arfaxad xɔ ƒe blaetɔ̃ vɔ atɔ̃ la, edzi Sela.
13 And Arpachshad liued, after he begate Shelah, foure hundreth and three yeeres, and begate sonnes and daughters.
Eye esi wòdzi Sela megbe la, Arfaxad ganɔ agbe ƒe alafa ene kple etɔ̃, eye wòdzi viŋutsu kple vinyɔnu bubuwo.
14 And Shelah liued thirtie yeeres, and begat Eber.
Esi Sela xɔ ƒe blaetɔ̃ la, edzi Eber,
15 So Shelah liued, after he begat Eber, foure hundreth and three yeeres, and begat sonnes and daughters.
eye esi wòdzi Eber megbe la, Sela ganɔ agbe ƒe alafa ene kple etɔ̃, eye wòdzi viŋutsu kple vinyɔnu bubuwo.
16 Likewise Eber liued foure and thirtie yeres, and begate Peleg.
Esi Eber xɔ ƒe blaetɔ̃-vɔ-ene la, edzi Peleg.
17 So Eber liued, after he begate Peleg, foure hundreth and thirtie yeeres, and begate sonnes and daughters
Esi wòdzi Peleg la, Eber ganɔ agbe ƒe alafa ene blaetɔ̃, eye wògadzi viŋutsu kple vinyɔnu bubuwo.
18 And Peleg liued thirtie yeeres, and begate Reu.
Esi Peleg xɔ ƒe blaetɔ̃ la, edzi Reu.
19 And Peleg liued, after he begate Reu, two hundreth and nine yeeres, and begate sonnes and daughters.
Eye esi wòdzi Reu la, Peleg ganɔ agbe ƒe alafa eve kple asiekɛ, eye wògadzi viŋutsu kple vinyɔnu bubuwo.
20 Also Reu liued two and thirtie yeeres, and begate Serug.
Esi Reu xɔ ƒe blaetɔ̃-vɔ-eve la, edzi Serug.
21 So Reu liued, after he begate Serug, two hundreth and seuen yeeres, and begate sonnes and daughters.
Eye esi wòdzi Serug la, Reu ganɔ agbe ƒe alafa eve kple adre, eye wògadzi viŋutsu kple vinyɔnu bubuwo.
22 Moreouer Serug liued thirtie yeeres, and begate Nahor.
Esi Serug xɔ ƒe blaetɔ̃ la, edzi Nahor.
23 And Serug liued, after he begate Nahor, two hundreth yeeres, and begate sonnes and daughters.
Eye esi wòdzi Nahor megbe la, Serug ganɔ agbe ƒe alafa eve, eye wògadzi viŋutsu kple vinyɔnu bubuwo.
24 And Nahor liued nine and twentie yeeres, and begate Terah.
Esi Nahor xɔ ƒe blaeve-vɔ-asiekɛ la, edzi Tera.
25 So Nahor liued, after he begate Terah, an hundreth and nineteene yeeres, and begat sonnes and daughters.
Eye esi wòdzi Tera la, Nahor ganɔ agbe ƒe alafa ɖeka kple wuiasiekɛ, eye wògadzi viŋutsu kple vinyɔnu bubuwo.
26 So Terah liued seuentie yeeres, and begate Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
Esi Tera xɔ ƒe blaadre la, edzi Abram, Nahor kple Haran.
27 Nowe these are the generations of Terah: Terah begate Abram, Nahor, and Haran: and Haran begate Lot.
Tera ƒe dzidzimeviwo ŋutinya enye si. Tera dzi Abram, Nahor kple Haran; eye Haran dzi Lot.
28 Then Haran died before Terah his father in the land of his natiuitie, in Vr of the Caldees.
Ke Haran ku kaba le anyigba si dzi wodzii ɖo la dzi si nye Ur le Kaldea le esime fofoa Tera ganɔ agbe ko.
29 So Abram and Nahor tooke them wiues. The name of Abrams wife was Sarai, and the name of Nahors wife Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah.
Abram ɖe fofoa ƒe vi Sarai le esime nɔvia Nahor ɖe Haran si ku la ƒe vi, Milka. Nɔviŋutsu si nɔ Milka sie nye Yiska.
30 But Sarai was barren, and had no childe.
Ke Sarai medzi vi aɖeke o.
31 Then Terah tooke Abram his sonne, and Lot the sonne of Haran, his sonnes sonne, and Sarai his daughter in lawe, his sonne Abrams wife: and they departed together from Vr of the Caldees, to goe into the land of Canaan, and they came to Haran, and dwelt there.
Tera kplɔ via Abram, eƒe tɔgbuiyɔvi Lot, ame si nye Haran ƒe vi la kple via Abram srɔ̃, Sarai, eye wodzo le Ur le Kaldea be yewoayi Kanaanyigba dzi. Ke wotɔ, eye wotso kɔƒe ɖe Haran.
32 So the dayes of Terah were two hundreth and fiue yeeres, and Terah died in Haran.
Tera ku le Haran esi wòxɔ ƒe alafa eve kple atɔ̃.
