Semtilbu 11
1 Phatkhat lai tah chun vannoiya mihem jousen pao khat bou ana tho uvin, apao cheng manu jong tha khat cheh ana hi.
Now the whole world had one language and a common form of speech.
2 Hiche lai chun miho chu nisolama konin ahung kichon uvin ahile Shinar gamsunga chun phaicham mun ong lentah ahin mudoh uvin, hikoma chun acheng tauve.
And as people journeyed eastward, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there.
3 Hichun ama ho khat le khat aki hou un, “Eihon cheh gadengu hitin goutah lheng'u hite,” akiti uvin; hiti chun song panna pang dingin cheh amang uvin, songlou dingin leingan amang uve.
And they said to one another, “Come, let us make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” So they used brick instead of stone, and tar instead of mortar.
4 Hichun amahon hitin aseiuve, “Hung un eihon khopi khat kisah uhitin, chule in sangtah khat a tingvum vantoh kibang khat sadoh uhitin, vannoiya imin'u ki thansah uhite, achuti loule leiset chunga iki moh thethang gam ding'u ahi,” atiuve.
“Come,” they said, “let us build for ourselves a city with a tower that reaches to the heavens, that we may make a name for ourselves and not be scattered over the face of all the earth.”
5 Hinlah Pakai Pathen chu mihemten khopi asah'u le insang asah doh'u veding in Pakai ahung kumlha tai.
Then the LORD came down to see the city and the tower that the sons of men were building.
6 Hichun Pakai Pathen in aseiye, “Vetan mipiho hi aki pumkhat thei lheh jeng uvin chule pao khatseh bou atho uvin, hijeh chun phat chomkhat jou teng le amaho hin ipi hijongle abolgot ho u-chu ajo lel lou beh dingu ahi.
And the LORD said, “If they have begun to do this as one people speaking the same language, then nothing they devise will be beyond them.
7 Hijeh chun hung un eiho ga kumsuh'u hitin apao'u ga suhkhen peh uhite, chutile khat le khat athusei kihet mon um tauvinte,” ati.
Come, let Us go down and confuse their language, so that they will not understand one another’s speech.”
8 Hiti chun Pakai Pathen in leiset chung ah abon uvin, athe cheh soh hel'in hiche apat'a chu khopi insah chu hung bouiya ahiuve.
So the LORD scattered them from there over the face of all the earth, and they stopped building the city.
9 Hijeh a chu hiche kopi insang kisah chu Babel kiti ahi, ajeh chu Pathen in mipi ho lung asuhboui a paochom paochom athosah ahi tia hi Pathen in vannoiya ana thecheh'u ahi.
That is why it is called Babel, for there the LORD confused the language of the whole world, and from that place the LORD scattered them over the face of all the earth.
