1 Amo esoga, osobo bagade dunu fi da sia: hisu hisu hame galu. Ilia huluane da sia: afadafa fawane galu.
At first, all the people in [MTY] the world spoke the same language [DOU].
2 Dunu fi huluane da eso maba gusudili ahoanu, umi soge ea dio amo Ba: bilone ba: i. Amo ganodini ilia fi dialu.
As people moved further east, they arrived at a plain in Babylonia region and began to live there.
3 Ilia da amane gilisili sia: dasu, “Defea! Ninia osobo ganumugini, gobele, igi agoai ‘baligi’ hamone, diasu gagumu.’ Amola amo liligi ‘baligi’ ilia da edele amoga madelagisu.
Then they said to each other, “(Hey/Come on), let’s form bricks and bake them to make them hard, for building!” So they used bricks instead of stones, and used tar instead of (mortar/a mixture of cement, sand and lime) to hold them together.
4 Amalalu, ilia da amane sia: i, “Ninia moilai bai bagade hamomu. Amo ganodini ninia da diasu sedade gagagula heda: i amo da Hebene amoga doaga: mu liligi gagumu. Ninia dio bagade hamomu. Ninia fi da osobo bagade soge huluane amoga afafasa: besa: le agoane hamomu.
They said, “Hey, let’s build a city for ourselves! We also ought to build a very high tower that reaches up to the sky! In that way we will become famous! If we do not do this, we will be scattered all over the earth!”
5 Be Hina Gode da moilai bai bagade amola diasu gado gagagula heda: i amo dunu da hamonanu, amo ba: la gudu sa: i.
So they began to build the city and the tower. Then Yahweh looked down and saw the city and the tower that those [puny] men were building.
6 E amane sia: i, “Ilia da fi afadafa amola sia: afadafa gala. Amo ilia da muni hamobeba: le, hobea huluane ilia hanaiga hamomusa: dawa: mu.
Yahweh said, “These people are one group that all speak the same language. If they have begun to do this now, then (there is nothing that they will decide to do that will be impossible for them/they will be able to do whatever they decide to do) [LIT]!
7 Defea! Ninia da gudu sa: ili, ilia sia: ededenagia: mu. Amasea, ilia sia: hisu hisu amoga sia: sea, nabimu gogolemu.”
So, okay/now, we will go down there and cause there to be many different languages, so that they will not be able to understand each other.”
8 Amaiba: le, Gode da dunu fi afagogole, osobo bagade dedeboma: ne asunasi. Ilia amo diasu gagagula heda: i gagumu yolesi dagoi.
So Yahweh did that. As a result, the people stopped building the city, and Yahweh caused them to disperse all over the earth.
9 Amaiba: le, amo diasu ilia da Ba: ibele dio asuli. Bai amoga Hina Gode da ilia sia: hisu hisu hamoi, amola ili afagogole, osobo bagade soge huluane fima: ne asunasi.
The city was called Babel which means ‘confusion’, because there Yahweh caused the people to become confused because the people [MTY] spoke [different languages that the others could not understand], not just one language. From there Yahweh caused them to disperse all over the earth.
