Kenehi 11
1 Na kotahi tonu te reo o te whenua katoa, rite tonu ano nga korero.
And all the earth was one lip, and there was one language to all.
2 A, i a ratou e haere ana whaka te rawhiti, na ka kite ratou i tetahi mania i te whenua o Hinara; a noho ana ratou i reira.
And it came to pass as they moved from the east, they found a plain in the land of Senaar, and they lived there.
3 Na ka mea ratou ki tona hoa, ki tona hoa, Tena, tatou ka hanga pereki, me ata tahu marire ano hoki. Na ka meinga e ratou he pereki hei kohatu, he uku hoki ta ratou moata.
And a man said to his neighbour, Come, let us make bricks and bake them with fire. And the brick was to them for stone, and their mortar was bitumen.
4 Na ka mea ratou, Tena, tatou ka hanga i tetahi pa me tetahi pourewa, a kia tutuki a runga ki te rangi, kia whai ingoa ai tatou; kei marara noa atu tatou ki te mata o te whenua katoa.
And they said, Come, let us build to ourselves a city and tower, whose top shall be to heaven, and let us make to ourselves a name, before we are scattered abroad upon the face of all the earth.
5 Na ka heke iho a Ihowa kia kite i te pa me te pourewa, i hanga nei e nga tama a te tangata.
And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the sons of men built.
6 A ka mea a Ihowa, Nana, kotahi tonu te iwi nei, kotahi ano hoki to ratou reo; a ka timataia nei tenei mahi e ratou: e kore ano ratou e taea te pupuri mai i tetahi mea, e whakaaro ana ratou kia mahia.
And the Lord said, Behold, [there is] one race, and one lip of all, and they have begun to do this, and now nothing shall fail from them of all that they may have undertaken to do.
7 Tena, tatou ka heke atu, ka whakapoauau i o ratou reo i reira, kia kore ai ratou e matau, ia tangata, ia tangata ki te reo o tona hoa.
Come, and having gone down let us there confound their tongue, that they may not understand each the voice of his neighbour.
8 Na whakamararatia atu ana ratou i reira e Ihowa ki runga ki te mata o te whenua katoa: a mahue ake i a ratou te hanga i te pa.
And the Lord scattered them thence over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city and the tower.
9 Na kona i huaina ai to reira ingoa ko Papera; no te mea i whakapoauautia e Ihowa i reira te reo o te whenua katoa: no reira ano hoki te whakamararatanga a Ihowa i a ratou ki te mata o te whenua katoa.
On this account its name was called Confusion, because there the Lord confounded the languages of all the earth, and thence the Lord scattered them upon the face of all the earth.

And Arrhan died in the presence of Tharrha his father, in the land in which he was born, in the country of the Chaldees.
29 Na ka tango a Aperama raua ko Nahora i etahi wahine ma raua: ko te ingoa o te wahine a Aperama ko Harai, ko te ingoa o te wahine a Nahora ko Mireka tamahine a Harana, papa o Mireka, papa ano hoki o Iheka.
And Abram and Nachor took to themselves wives, the name of the wife of Abram was Sara, and the name of the wife of Nachor, Malcha, daughter of Arrhan, and he was the father of Malcha, the father of Jescha.
30 A he pakoko a Harai; kahore ana tamariki.
And Sara was barren, and did not bear children.
31 Na ka tango a Teraha i a Aperama i tana tama, raua ko Rota tama a Harana, ko te tama a tana tama, ratou ko tana hunaonga, ko Harai wahine a tana tama a Aperama; a whakatika tahi ana ratou i Uru o nga Karari, haere ana ki te whenua o Kanaana; na ka tae ki Harana, a noho ana i reira.
