They said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top reaches to the sky, and let us make ourselves a name, lest we be scattered abroad on the surface of the whole earth."
5 Hinlah Pakai Pathen chu mihemten khopi asah'u le insang asah doh'u veding in Pakai ahung kumlha tai.
And God came down to see the city and the tower, that humankind was building.

And God said, "Look, they are one people, and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do. So now nothing which they plan to do will be too difficult for 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 there confuse their language, that they may 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.
Then God scattered them abroad from there on the surface of all the earth; so they ceased 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.
Therefore its name was called Babel, because there God confused the language of all the earth. From there he scattered them over the face of the whole earth.
