< Genesis 11 >

1 Then the whole earth was of one language and one speache.
Bara sana addunyaan guutuun afaan tokkoo fi haasaa tokko qaba ture.
2 And as they went from the East, they found a plaine in the land of Shinar, and there they abode.
Namoonni akkuma gara baʼa biiftuutti godaananiin, Shineʼaar keessatti lafa diriiraa argatanii achi qubatan.
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.
Isaanis, “Kottaa mee xuubii hojjennee ibiddaan gubnaa” waliin jedhan. Isaanis qooda dhagaa, xuubiitti fayyadaman; hapheedhaaf immoo leeleetti fayyadaman.
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.
Ergasii, “Kottaa mee akka ofii keenyaa maqaa argannuu fi akka addunyaa guutuu irra hin bibittinnoofneef magaalaa gamoon isaa samii qaqqabu tokko ijaarrannaa” jedhan.
5 But the Lord came downe, to see the citie and towre, which the sonnes of men builded.
Waaqayyo garuu magaalaa fi gamoo isaan ijaaraa turan sana ilaaluuf gad buʼe.
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.
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.
7 Come on, let vs goe downe, and there confound their language, that euery one perceiue not anothers speache.
Kottaa mee gad buunee, akka isaan wal hin hubanneef afaan isaanii waliin dhoofnaa!”
8 So ye Lord scattered them from thence vpon all the earth, and they left off to build the citie.
Kanaafuu Waaqayyo achii isaan baasee lafa hunda irra isaan bittinneesse; isaanis magaalaa ijaaruu dhiisan.
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.
Waan Waaqayyo achitti afaan addunyaa hunda waliin makeef iddoon sun Baabilon jedhame; Waaqayyo iddoo sanaa isaan baasee lafa hunda irra isaan bittinneesse.
10 These are the generations of Shem: Shem was an hundreth yeere olde, and begate Arpachshad two yeere after the flood.
Seenaan maatii Seem kana. Bishaan badiisaa booddee waggaa lamatti Seem yeroo umuriin isaa waggaa 100 guutetti Arfaakshadin dhalche.

Felegi erga Reʼuu dhalchee booddee waggaa 209 jiraatee ilmaanii fi intallan biraas dhalche.
20 Also Reu liued two and thirtie yeeres, and begate Serug.
Reʼuun waggaa 32 jiraatee Seruugin dhalche.
21 So Reu liued, after he begate Serug, two hundreth and seuen yeeres, and begate sonnes and daughters.
Reʼuun erga Seruugin dhalchee booddee waggaa 207 jiraatee ilmaanii fi intallan biraa dhalche.
22 Moreouer Serug liued thirtie yeeres, and begate Nahor.
Seruugi waggaa 30 jiraatee Naahoorin dhalche.
23 And Serug liued, after he begate Nahor, two hundreth yeeres, and begate sonnes and daughters.
Seruugi erga Naahoorin dhalchee booddee waggaa 200 jiraatee ilmaanii fi intallan biraa dhalche.
24 And Nahor liued nine and twentie yeeres, and begate Terah.
Naahoor waggaa 29 jiraatee Taaraa dhalche.
25 So Nahor liued, after he begate Terah, an hundreth and nineteene yeeres, and begat sonnes and daughters.
Naahoor erga Taaraa dhalchee booddee waggaa 119 jiraatee ilmaanii fi intallan biraa dhalche.
26 So Terah liued seuentie yeeres, and begate Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
Taaraan waggaa 70 jiraatee Abraam, Naahoorii fi Haaraanin dhalche.
27 Nowe these are the generations of Terah: Terah begate Abram, Nahor, and Haran: and Haran begate Lot.
Seenaan maatii Taaraa kana. Taaraan Abraam, Naahoorii fi Haaraanin dhalche. Haaraan immoo Looxin dhalche.
28 Then Haran died before Terah his father in the land of his natiuitie, in Vr of the Caldees.
Haaraan utuma abbaan isaa Taaraan jiruu Uuri biyya Kaldootaa keessatti lafuma itti dhalatetti duʼe.
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.
Abraamii fi Naahoor niitii fuudhan. Maqaan niitii Abraam Saaraa, maqaan niitii Naahoor immoo Miilkaa ture. Miilkaan intala Haaraan. Haaraan kun immoo abbaa Miikaatii fi Yiskaa ture.
30 But Sarai was barren, and had no childe.
Saaraan dhabduu turte; ijoollees hin deenye.
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.
Taaraan ilma isaa Abraamin, ilma ilma isaa jechuunis Loox ilma Haaraanii fi niitii ilma isaa jechuunis Saaraa niitii Abraam fudhatee Kanaʼaan dhaquuf, Uuri biyya Kaldootaatii walii wajjin baʼan; garuu yeroo Kaaraan gaʼanitti achuma qubatan.
32 So the dayes of Terah were two hundreth and fiue yeeres, and Terah died in Haran.
Taaraan waggaa 205 jiraatee Kaaraanitti duʼe.
