Genesis 11
1 To naah long pum ah lok maeto khue oh moe, lok maeto ni apaeh o.
And the whole earth was of one language, and of one kind of words.
2 Ni angyae bang hoiah a caeh o, Shinar azawn to hnuk o naah, to ah khosak o.
And it came to pass, as they journeyed toward the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they dwelt there.
3 To naah nihcae mah maeto hoi maeto khaeah, Angzo oh, amlai long pahlom o si loe, hmaiqoeng o si, tiah thuih o. Thlung zuengah amlai long to patoh o moe, param long zuengah thing tangpri to patoh o.
And they said to one another, Go to, let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly. And thus the brick served them for stone, and slime served them for mortar.
4 Nihcae mah, Angzo oh, vangpui maeto sah o si loe, van pha khoek to imsang to sah o si; aimacae ahmin amthang hanah sah o si, to tih ai nahaeloe long pum ah ampraek o boih moeng tih, tiah a thuih o.
And they said, Go to, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower, the top of which may reach unto heaven; and let us make ourselves a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
5 Angraeng loe kaminawk mah sak ih imsang hoi vangpui to khet hanah, angzoh tathuk.
And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of man were building.
6 Angraeng mah, Khenah, kaminawk loe maeto ah oh o moe, lok maeto apaeh o boih pongah, hae tok hae sak amtong o boeh; vaihi sak han a poek o ih hmuen hae pakaahaih tidoeh om ai ah sah o tih.
And the Lord said, Behold, it is one people, and they have all one language, and this is the first thing they undertake to do; and now shall they not be restrained in all which they have imagined to do?
7 Angzo oh, caeh o tathuk si loe, maeto hoi maeto lok angthaih han ai ah, lok anghmangsak si, tiah thuih o.
Go to, let us go down, and confound there their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.
8 To pongah Angraeng mah nihcae to long pum ah ampraeksak; to naah vangpui to sah ai ah toengh o sut.
So the Lord scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth; and they left off to build the city.
9 Angraeng mah long pum ah kaom kaminawk to lok anghmangsak, to ahmuen hoiah nihcae to long pum ah ampraeksak phang, to pongah vangpui to Babel, tiah kawk o.
Therefore is the name of it called Babel, because the Lord did there confound the language of all the earth; and from there did the Lord scatter them abroad over the face of all the earth.

But Sarai was barren; she had no child.

And the days of Terach were two hundred and five years; and Terach died in Charan.
