Genesis 11
1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
Maꞌahulu na, basa atahori sia raefafoꞌ ia olaꞌ rendiꞌ a dedꞌeat esaꞌ a.
2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.
Ruma sangga lali risiꞌ seriꞌ rulu, losa rae tetuꞌ esa sia Sinear, de ara leo sia naa.
3 And they said one to another, come, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for 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 build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach to heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we should be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men were building.
Boe ma LAMATUALAIN nema mete sobꞌa nusaꞌ naa, no ume naruꞌ fo rafefelaꞌ a.
6 And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be withheld from them, which they have imagined to do.
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, let us go down, and there confound their language, 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 So the LORD scattered them abroad from there upon the face of all the earth: and they stopped building 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 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD there confounded the language of all the earth: and from there did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
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 Shem: Shem was an hundred years old, and begat 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 Shem lived after he begat Arphaxad five hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.
Basa ma, Sem feꞌe nasodꞌa too natun lima, de hambu seluꞌ ana touꞌ ma inaꞌ fai.
12 And Arphaxad lived five and thirty years, and begat Salah:
Arpaksad too telu nulu lima ma, ana hambu ana touꞌ esa, naran Sela.
13 And Arphaxad lived after he begat Salah four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.
Basa ma, Arpaksad feꞌe nasodꞌa too natun haa telu, de hambu seluꞌ ana touꞌ ma inaꞌ fai.
14 And Salah lived thirty years, and begat Eber:
Sela too telu nulu ma, ana hambu ana touꞌ esa, naran Eber.
15 And Salah lived after he begat Eber four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.
Basa ma, Sela feꞌe nasodꞌa too natun haa telu, de hambu seluꞌ ana touꞌ ma inaꞌ fai.
16 And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begat Peleg:
Eber too telu nulu haa ma, ana hambu ana touꞌ esa, naran Pelek.
17 And Eber lived after he begat Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters.
Basa ma, Eber feꞌe nasodꞌa seluꞌ too natun haa telu nulu, de ana hambu seluꞌ ana touꞌ ma inaꞌ fai.
18 And Peleg lived thirty years, and begat Reu:
Pelek too telu nulu ma, ana hambu ana touꞌ esa, naran Rehu.
19 And Peleg lived after he begat Reu two hundred and nine years, and begat sons and daughters.
Basa ma, Pelek nasodꞌa seluꞌ too natun rua sio, de hambu seluꞌ ana touꞌ ma inaꞌ fai.
20 And Reu lived two and thirty years, and begat Serug:
Rehu too telu nulu rua ma, ana hambu ana touꞌ esa, naran Seruk.
21 And Reu lived after he begat Serug two hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters.
Basa ma, Rehu feꞌe nasodꞌa too natun rua hitu, de hambu seluꞌ ana touꞌ ma inaꞌ fai.
22 And Serug lived thirty years, and begat Nahor:
Seruk too telu nulu ma, ana hambu ana touꞌ esa, naran Nahor.
23 And Serug lived after he begat Nahor two hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.
Basa ma, Seruk feꞌe nasodꞌa seluꞌ too natun rua, de hambu seluꞌ ana touꞌ ma inaꞌ fai.
24 And Nahor lived nine and twenty years, and begat Terah:
Nahor too rua nulu sio ma, ana hambu ana touꞌ esa, naran Tera.
25 And Nahor lived after he begat Terah an hundred and nineteen years, and begat 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 Terah lived seventy years, and begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
Tera too hitu nulu lena ma, ana hambu ana touꞌ telu ena, nara nara Abram, Nahor, ma Haran.
27 Now these are the generations of Terah: Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot.
Ia, Tera tititi-nonosi nara. Tera ana nara, Abram, Nahor, ma Haran. Haran hambu ana touꞌ esa, naran Lot.
28 And Haran died before his father Terah 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 Nahor took them wives: the name of Abram’s wife was Sarai; and the name of Nahor’s wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah.
Abram sao na Sarai. Nahor sao nala Haran ana feto na, Milka. Haran o ma ana touꞌ esa, naran Yiska.
30 But Sarai was barren; she had no child.
Te Sarai nda mana bꞌonggiꞌ sa.
31 And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran his son’s son, and Sarai his daughter in law, his son Abram’s wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came to 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 Terah were two hundred and five years: and Terah died in Haran.
Tera too natun rua lima ma, ana mate sia naa.
