Suencuek 11
1 Te vaengah diklai pum ah ol pakhat neh olka thikat la om.
The whole earth was of one language and of one speech.

They said to one another, “Come, let’s make bricks, and burn them thoroughly.” They had brick for stone, and they used tar for mortar.
4 Te vaengah, “Lo lah, mamih ham khopuei neh rhaltoengim khaw, a soi te vaan duela sa uh sih. Te dongah mamih ham ming khueh sih, diklai pum kah mikhmuh ah vik n'taekyak uh ve,” a ti uh.
They said, “Come, let’s build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top reaches to the sky, and let’s make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad on the surface of the whole earth.”
5 Tedae khopuei te hmuh ham BOEIPA ha pawk vaengah hlang ca rhoek loh rhaltoengim te ana sak uh.
Adonai came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men built.
6 BOEIPA loh, “Amih he pilnam pakhat neh ol pakhat la boeih a om uh dongah saii ham a mangtaeng uh khaw saii ham a tong uh hatah amih ham lol tlaih pawt la he!
Adonai said, “Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language, and this is what they begin to do. Now nothing will be withheld from them, which they intend to do.
7 Ceh, suntla uh sih lamtah amih ol te thoek pah sih. Te daengah ni hlang loh a hui kah hmuilai te a yaak pawt eh,” a ti.
Come, let’s go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not sh'ma ·hear understand obey· one another’s speech.”
8 Te dongah BOEIPA loh amih te diklai hman boeih ah a taekyak tih khopuei thoh ham khaw a toeng uh.
So Adonai scattered them abroad from there on the surface of all the earth. They stopped building the city.
9 He kongah BOEIPA loh diklai pum kah ol he pahoi a thoek pah tih a ming te Babylon a sui. Te lamlong tah BOEIPA loh amih te diklai hman boeih ah a taekyak.
Therefore its name was called Babel [Confusion], because there Adonai confused the language of all the earth. From there, Adonai scattered them abroad on the surface of all the earth.
