Genesis 11
1 The whole earth was of one language and of one speech.
Maꞌahulu na, basa atahori sia raefafoꞌ ia olaꞌ rendiꞌ a dedꞌeat esaꞌ a.
2 As they traveled east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they lived there.
Ruma sangga lali risiꞌ seriꞌ rulu, losa rae tetuꞌ esa sia Sinear, de ara leo sia naa.
3 They said to one another, “Come, let’s make bricks, and burn them thoroughly.” They had brick for stone, and they used tar for mortar.
Basa se rala hara esa rae, “We! Toronooꞌ re! Ima fo tafefela nusa monaeꞌ esa. Ata musi tao fatu mbilas, fo lalangge losa manggatee. Basa fo ata lutu fatu mbilas naa ra no ter, fo tariri ume naruꞌ esa, tonggo na losa lalai. Naa fo, ata hambu naraꞌ ma dadꞌi leo monaeꞌ sa nda banggi-bꞌanggiꞌ sa.”
4 They said, “Come, let’s build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top reaches to the sky, and let’s make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad on the surface of the whole earth.”
5 The LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men built.
Boe ma LAMATUALAIN nema mete sobꞌa nusaꞌ naa, no ume naruꞌ fo rafefelaꞌ a.
6 The LORD said, “Behold, they are one people, and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do. Now nothing will be withheld from them, which they intend to do.
Ana olaꞌ nae, “Basa atahori ia ra, leo esa, ma dedꞌeat esa. Saa fo ara taoꞌ a ia, feꞌe fefeuꞌ. Mbila-fini esaꞌ, mete ma basa se raꞌabꞌue reu esa onaꞌ ia, naa, ara bisa tao sudꞌi a saa.
7 Come, let’s go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.”
Malole lenaꞌ Hita onda fo tao se esa-esaꞌ no dedꞌea na, fo esa nda nahine esa dedꞌea na saꞌ boe.”
8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from there on the surface of all the earth. They stopped building the city.
Boe ma Lamatualain onda tao tasibu dedꞌea nara. No taꞌo naa, Ana tao atahori ra sea-saranggaa risiꞌ basa mamanaꞌ sia raefafoꞌ a. Ara o nda rafefela rakandoo nusaꞌ naa saꞌ ena.
9 Therefore its name was called Babel, because there the LORD confused the language of all the earth. From there, the LORD scattered them abroad on the surface of all the earth.
Naa de, ara babꞌae nusaꞌ naa, Babel, (lii na naeꞌ a onaꞌ dedꞌeat esa, fo sosoa na ‘tabꞌanganga’), huu LAMATUALAIN tao tasibꞌu dedꞌea nara, ma fee se sea-saranggaa sudꞌiꞌ a bee reu sia raefafoꞌ a.
10 This is the history of the generations of Shem: Shem was one hundred years old when he became the father of Arpachshad two years after the flood.
Ia, Sem tititi-nonosi nara. Leleꞌ oe mandali monaeꞌ a naloeꞌ too rua ena, nandaa no Sem too natun esa ma, ana hambu ana touꞌ esa, naran Arpaksad.

Arpaksad too telu nulu lima ma, ana hambu ana touꞌ esa, naran Sela.
13 Arpachshad lived four hundred three years after he became the father of Shelah, and became the father of more sons and daughters.

Tera too hitu nulu lena ma, ana hambu ana touꞌ telu ena, nara nara Abram, Nahor, ma Haran.
27 Now this is the history of the generations of Terah. Terah became the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran. Haran became the father of Lot.
Ia, Tera tititi-nonosi nara. Tera ana nara, Abram, Nahor, ma Haran. Haran hambu ana touꞌ esa, naran Lot.
28 Haran died in the land of his birth, in Ur of the Chaldees, while his father Terah was still alive.
Haran mate mia kambo na, naran Ur, sia atahori Kasdim ra rae na. Ana mate te, ama na Tera feꞌe masodꞌaꞌ.
29 Abram and Nahor married wives. The name of Abram’s wife was Sarai, and the name of Nahor’s wife was Milcah, the daughter of Haran, who was also the father of Iscah.
Abram sao na Sarai. Nahor sao nala Haran ana feto na, Milka. Haran o ma ana touꞌ esa, naran Yiska.
30 Sarai was barren. She had no child.
Te Sarai nda mana bꞌonggiꞌ sa.
31 Terah took Abram his son, Lot the son of Haran, his son’s son, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram’s wife. They went from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan. They came to Haran and lived there.
Lao esa, Tera nendi ana na Abram, ana feto feu na Sarai, ma umbu na Lot, de ara lao hela kambo Ur. Ara rae reu sia rae Kanaꞌan, te losa kambo Haran ma, ara leo reuꞌ a naa.
32 The days of Terah were two hundred five years. Terah died in Haran.
Tera too natun rua lima ma, ana mate sia naa.
