Genesis 11
1 And the whole earth was of one language and of one speech.
Nan konmansman, tout moun sou latè te pale yon sèl lang, yonn te konprann lòt.
2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they dwelt there.
Apre yo pati soti kote solèy leve a, yo rive nan yon plenn nan peyi Chenea. Yo moute kay yo la, yo rete.
3 And they said one to another, Come, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and they had slime for mortar.
Lè sa a, yonn di lòt. Mezanmi, vini non! Ann fè brik. Ann kwit yo nan dife. Se konsa, yo pran brik sèvi wòch pou bati kay, yo pran asfat sèvi mòtye.
4 And they said, Come, let us build a city for us, and a tower, and its top in the heavens. And let us make a name for us, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
Apre sa, yo di. Annou wè! Ann bati yon gwo lavil pou nou rete ak yon gwo gwo kay tout won byen wo ki rive jouk nan syèl la. Konsa tout moun va respekte nou, yo p'ap ka gaye nou toupatou sou latè.
5 And Jehovah came down to see the city and the tower, which the sons of men built.
Seyè a desann pou l' wè lavil la ansanm ak gwo kay won moun yo t'ap bati a.
6 And Jehovah said, Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language, and this is what they begin to do. And now nothing will be withheld from them, which they propose to do.
Epi li di. Koulye a, gade! Yo tout fè yon sèl pèp. Yo tout yo pale yon sèl lang. Gade sa yo konmanse ap fè. Talè konsa y'ap pare pou yo fè sa yo vle.
7 Come, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand each other's speech.
Bon. N'ap desann, n'ap mele lang yo. Konsa, yonn p'ap ka konprann sa lòt ap di.
8 So Jehovah scattered them abroad from there upon the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city.
Se konsa Seyè a gaye yo toupatou sou latè. Yo sispann bati lavil la.
9 Therefore the name of it was called Babel, because Jehovah there confounded the language of all the earth, and from there Jehovah scattered them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
Se poutèt sa yo rele lavil la Babèl, paske se la Seyè a te mele lang tout moun ki rete sou latè, li fè yo pati, li gaye yo toupatou sou latè.
10 These are the generations of Shem. Shem was a hundred years old, and begot Arphaxad two years after the flood.

26 And Terah lived seventy years, and begot Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
Terak te gen swasanndizan lè li fè twa pitit gason yo rele Abram, Nakò ak Aran.
27 Now these are the generations of Terah: Terah begot Abram, Nahor, and Haran. And Haran begot Lot.
Men pitit ak pitit pitit Terak yo: Terak te papa Abram, Nakò ak Aran. Aran te papa Lòt.
28 And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees.
Aran mouri anvan papa l'. Li mouri lavil Our nan peyi Kalde kote l' te fèt la.
29 And Abram and Nahor took wives to themselves. The name of Abram's wife was Sarai, and the name of Nahor's wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah.
Abram ak Nakò te fè pozisyon. Abram marye ak Sarayi, Nakò marye ak Milka, pitit fi Aran. Aran te gen yon lòt pitit ankò yo te rele Jiska.
30 And Sarai was barren; she had no child.
Sarayi pa t' gen pitit, li pa t' ka fè pitit.
31 And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran, his son's son, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram's wife. And they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan. And they came to Haran, and dwelt there.
Terak pran pitit li, Abram, pitit pitit li, Lòt, ki te pitit Aran, ansanm ak bèlfi li Sarayi ki te madanm Abram, pitit li. Li pati ak yo, li kite lavil Our nan peyi Kalde pou li ale nan peyi Kanaran. Men lè yo rive lavil Karan, yo te rete la.
32 And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years, and Terah died in Haran.
Se la Terak mouri. Li te gen desansenkan (205 an).
