Suencuek 11
1 Te vaengah diklai pum ah ol pakhat neh olka thikat laom.
So it came to pass that, all the earth, was of one manner of speech, —and of one stock of words.
2 Tedae amih te khothoeng la a puen uh hatah Shinar khohmuen ah kolbawn a hmuh uh tih teah te kho a sak uh.
And it came to pass as they brake away onwards, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and dwelt there.
3 Te vaengah hlang loh a hui taengah, “Halo, laiboeng sai uh sih lamtah hmai neh tik uh sih,” a ti uh. Te dongah lungto yueng la laiboeng te a khueh tih taplai yueng la lungpaat a khueh uh.
Then said they, each man to his friend, Come on! let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly, —So the bricks, served them for stone, and bitumen, served them 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.
And they said Come on! let us build for ourselves a city, and a tower with its head in the heavens, so let us make for ourselves a name, —lest we be scattered abroad over the face of all the earth.
5 Tedae khopuei te hmuh ham BOEIPA ha pawk vaengah hlang ca rhoek loh rhaltoengim te ana sak uh.
And Yahweh came down, to behold the city, and the tower, —which the sons of men had 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!
Then said Yahweh: Lo! one people and one manner of speech, have they all, this, then is what they have begun to do, —now, therefore, nothing will be withholden from them which they may plan 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 on! let us go down, and there confuse their speech, —that they may not understand, each man the speech of his friend.
8 Te dongah BOEIPA loh amih te diklai hman boeih ah a taekyak tih khopuei thoh ham khaw a toeng uh.
So Yahweh scattered them from thence over the face of all the earth, —and so they left off 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.
For this cause, was the name thereof called Babel ["Confusion"]; because there, did Yahweh confuse the speech of all the earth, —and, from thence, did Yahweh scatter them abroad, over the face of all the earth.
