Kamtawngnae 11
1 Hatnavah lawk phun touh hoi lawk pan e buet touh dueng doeh kaawm.
And the whole earth was of one language, and of one kind of words.
2 Kanîtholah hoi kahlawng a cei awh teh, Shinar ram dawk tanghling a hmu awh teh, haw vah kho hmuen a thawng awh.
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 Hat torei teh, buet touh hoi buet touh, tho awh amhru sak awh vaiteh kahawicalah pâeng awh sei telah a kâti awh. Hottelah talung e yueng lah amhru a hno awh teh pato nahanelah ailai a hno awh.
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 Hahoi, tho awh mamouh hanelah khopui thawng awh vaiteh kalvan kadeng lah imrasang sak awh sei. Mamouh hanelah min kamsawng sak awh sei, telah hoehpawiteh talai van tangkuem koe kâkahei payon han doeh telah ati awh.
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 Hatei taminaw e capanaw ni a thawng awh e khopui hoi imrasang khet hanlah BAWIPA teh a kum.
And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of man were building.
6 BAWIPA ni khenhaw! taminaw teh miphun buet touh lah ao awh teh lawk buet touh dueng a hno awh dawkvah, hete hno hmaloe pasuek a kamtawng awh. Sak han a ngai awh e kangangkung awm laipalah a sak awh han doeh.
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 Hatdawkvah, tho awh, kum awh sei. Ahnimanaw buet touh hoi buet touh lawk kâthai awh hoeh nahanelah, lawk alouklouk lah sak awh sei telah ati.
Go to, let us go down, and confound there their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.
8 Hottelah BAWIPA ni ahnimanaw teh talai van a kampek sak awh teh khopui kangdout sak thai awh hoeh toe.
So the Lord scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth; and they left off to build the city.
9 Hatdawkvah, Babel telah min a poe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hote hmuen koehoi BAWIPA ni lawk alouklouk lah a pan sak teh talai van koung a kampek sak.
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.
