Genesis 11
1 And the whole earth was of one language and of one speech.
Ensi yonna yalina olulimi lumu, nga bakozesa ebigambo bye bimu.
2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they dwelt there.
Abantu bwe baava oluuyi olw’ebuvanjuba ne batuuka mu lusenyi nsi ya Sinaali ne babeera omwo.
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.
Ne bateesa nti, “Mujje tukole amatoffaali, tugookye bulungi.” Ne baba n’amatoffaali mu kifo ky’amayinja, ne kolaasi mu kifo ky’ettosi.
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.
Awo ne bagamba nti, “Mujje twezimbire ekibuga, tutuuse omunaala gwakyo ku ggulu; twekolere erinnya, tuleme okusaasaanyizibwa okubuna ensi yonna.”
5 And Jehovah came down to see the city and the tower, which the sons of men built.
Naye Mukama nakka okulaba ekibuga n’omunaala, abaana b’abantu kye baali bazimba.
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.
Mukama n’ayogera nti, “Laba, bali omuntu omu, era boogera olulimi lumu! Era eno ntandikwa butandikwa ey’ebyo bye banaakola; era tewali kye banaateesa kukola ekinaabalemerera.
7 Come, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand each other's speech.
Mujje, tukke wansi tutabuletabule olulimi lwabwe, baleme kutegeeragana.”
8 So Jehovah scattered them abroad from there upon the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city.
Bw’atyo Mukama n’abasaasaanya ne babuna ensi yonna, n’ekibuga kyabwe ne batakimaliriza.
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.
Ekibuga ekyo erinnya lyakyo kye lyava liyitibwa Babiri, kubanga eyo Mukama gye yatabuliratabulira olulimi lw’ensi yonna. Eyo Mukama gye yabasaasaanyiza okubuna ensi yonna.
10 These are the generations of Shem. Shem was a hundred years old, and begot Arphaxad two years after the flood.
Bino bye bifa ku b’olulyo lwa Seemu: Seemu bwe yali ng’aweza emyaka kikumi, n’azaala Alupakusaadi nga wakayita emyaka ebiri okuva ku mataba.
11 And Shem lived five hundred years after he begot Arphaxad, and begot sons and daughters.
Seemu n’amala emyaka ebikumi bitaano nga Alupakusaadi amaze okusaalibwa. N’azaaliramu abaana aboobulenzi n’aboobuwala.
12 And Arphaxad lived a hundred and thirty-five years, and begot Cainan.
Alupakusaadi bwe yaweza emyaka asatu mu etaano n’azaala Seera,
13 And Arphaxad lived after he had begotten Cainan, four hundred years, and begot sons and daughters, and died. And Cainan lived a hundred and thirty years and begot Shelah; and Cainan lived after he had begotten Shelah, three hundred and thirty years, and begot sons and daughters, and died.
Alupakusaadi bwe yamala okuzaala Seera n’awangaala emyaka emirala ebikumi bina mu esatu, omwo n’azaaliramu abaana aboobulenzi n’aboobuwala.
14 And Shelah lived thirty years, and begot Eber.
Seera bwe yaweza emyaka amakumi asatu n’azaala Eberi,
15 And Shelah lived four hundred and three years after he begot Eber, and begot sons and daughters.
ate Seera n’aweza emyaka emirala ebikumi bina mu asatu ng’amaze okuzaala Eberi, era omwo n’azaaliramu abaana abalala aboobulenzi n’aboobuwala.
16 And Eber lived thirty-four years, and begot Peleg.
Eberi bwe yaweza emyaka amakumi asatu mu ena n’azaala Peregi.
17 And Eber lived four hundred and thirty years after he begot Peleg, and begot sons and daughters.
Eberi bwe yamala okuzaala Peregi n’awangaala emyaka ebikumi bina mu amakumi asatu, omwo n’azaaliramu abaana abalala aboobulenzi n’aboobuwala.
18 And Peleg lived thirty years, and begot Reu.
Peregi bwe yaweza emyaka amakumi asatu n’azaala Leewo,
19 And Peleg lived two hundred and nine years after he begot Reu, and begot sons and daughters.
bwe yamala okuzaala Leewo n’awangaala emyaka emirala ebikumi bibiri mu mwenda, n’azaaliramu abaana aboobulenzi n’aboobuwala.
20 And Reu lived thirty-two years, and begot Serug.
Leewo bwe yaweza emyaka amakumi asatu mu ebiri n’azaala Serugi.
21 And Reu lived two hundred and seven years after he begot Serug, and begot sons and daughters.
N’awangaala emyaka emirala ebikumi bibiri mu musanvu. Omwo n’azaaliramu abaana aboobulenzi n’aboobuwala.
22 And Serug lived thirty years, and begot Nahor.
Serugi bwe yaweza emyaka amakumi asatu n’azaala Nakoli,
23 And Serug lived two hundred years after he begot Nahor, and begot sons and daughters.
bwe yamala okuzaala Nakoli n’awangaala emyaka emirala ebikumi bibiri. Omwo n’azaaliramu abaana aboobulenzi n’aboobuwala.
24 And Nahor lived twenty-nine years, and begot Terah.
Nakoli bwe yaweza emyaka amakumi abiri mu mwenda n’azaala Teera.
25 And Nahor lived a hundred and nineteen years after he begot Terah, and begot sons and daughters.
Bwe yamala okuzaala Teera n’awangaala emyaka emirala kikumi mu kkumi na mwenda, era omwo n’azaaliramu abaana aboobulenzi n’aboobuwala.
26 And Terah lived seventy years, and begot Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
Teera bwe yaweza emyaka nsanvu, n’azaala Ibulaamu, ne Nakoli ne Kalani.
27 Now these are the generations of Terah: Terah begot Abram, Nahor, and Haran. And Haran begot Lot.
Bino bye bifa ku b’olulyo lwa Teera: Teera ye kitaawe wa Ibulaamu, ne Nakoli ne Kalani; Kalani ye yali kitaawe wa Lutti.
28 And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees.
Kalani yafa nga kitaawe Teera tannafa. Yafiira mu Uli ey’Abakaludaaya mwe yazaalirwa.
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.
Ibulaamu ne Nakoli ne bawasa; erinnya lya mukazi wa Ibulaamu lyali Salaayi, ate mukazi wa Nakoli nga ye Mirika, muwala wa Kalani, kitaawe wa Mirika ne Isika.
30 And Sarai was barren; she had no child.
Salaayi yali mugumba, teyalina mwana.
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.
Teera n’atwala Ibulaamu mutabani we Lutti muzzukulu we mutabani wa Kalani, ne Salaayi muka mutabani we Ibulaamu, ne bagenda bonna okuva mu Uli eky’Abakaludaaya okugenda mu nsi ya Kalani; bwe baatuuka mu Kalani, ne babeera omwo.
32 And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years, and Terah died in Haran.
Emyaka gya Teera gyali ebikumi bibiri mu etaano; Teera n’afiira mu Kalani.
