Genesis 11
1 Nthawi imeneyo anthu onse a pa dziko lapansi ankayankhula chiyankhulo chimodzi ndipo mawu amene ankayankhula anali amodzi.
Then the whole earth was of one language and one speache.
2 Pamene anthu amapita chakummawa anapeza chigwa ku dziko la Sinara nakhazikikako.
And as they went from the East, they found a plaine in the land of Shinar, and there they abode.
3 Tsono anawuzana kuti, “Tiyeni tiwumbe njerwa ndi kuziwotcha bwinobwino.” Tsono mʼmalo mwa miyala anagwiritsa ntchito njerwa zowotcha, ndipo mʼmalo mwa matope anagwiritsa ntchito phula.
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.
4 Kenaka anati, “Tiyeni tidzimangire mzinda wokhala ndi nsanja yoti ikafike kumwamba kuti titchuke. Kupanda kutero tibalalikana pa dziko lonse lapansi.”
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.
5 Koma Yehova anatsika kudzaona mzindawo ndi nsanja imene anthu aja ankayimanga.
But the Lord came downe, to see the citie and towre, which the sonnes of men builded.
6 Yehova anati, “Anthuwa ndi amodzi, ndipo ali ndi chiyankhulo chimodzi. Izi akuchitazi nʼchiyambi chabe cha zomwe akufuna kukwaniritsa kuchita.
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.
7 Tiyeni titsikireko tikasokoneze chiyankhulo chawo kuti asamamvetsetsane.”
Come on, let vs goe downe, and there confound their language, that euery one perceiue not anothers speache.
8 Choncho Yehova anabalalitsa anthu aja pa dziko lonse lapansi ndipo analeka kumanga mzindawo.
So ye Lord scattered them from thence vpon all the earth, and they left off to build the citie.
9 Nʼchifukwa chake mzindawo unatchedwa Babeli, popeza Yehova anasokoneza chiyankhulo cha anthu onse. Powachotsa kumeneko, Yehova anawabalalitsira pa dziko lonse lapansi.
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.

Then Haran died before Terah his father in the land of his natiuitie, in Vr of the Caldees.
29 Abramu ndi Nahori onse anakwatira. Dzina la mkazi wa Abramu linali Sarai, ndipo la mkazi wa Nahori linali Milika. Iyeyu ndi Isika abambo awo anali Harani.
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.
30 Sarai analibe ana chifukwa anali wosabereka.
But Sarai was barren, and had no childe.
31 Tera anatenga mwana wake Abramu, mdzukulu wake Loti, ndi mpongozi wake Sarai, mkazi wa Abramu natuluka mzinda wa Uri wa ku Akaldeya kupita ku Kanaani. Pamene anafika ku Harani, anakhazikika kumeneko.
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.

So the dayes of Terah were two hundreth and fiue yeeres, and Terah died in Haran.
