Genesis 11
1 Now the whole world had one language and a common form of speech.
Te vaengah diklai pum ah ol pakhat neh olka thikat laom.
2 And as people journeyed eastward, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there.
Tedae amih te khothoeng laa puen uh hatah Shinar khohmuenah kolbawna hmuh uh tih teah te kho a sak uh.
3 And they said to one another, “Come, let us make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” So they used brick instead of stone, and tar instead of mortar.
Te vaengah hlangloh a hui taengah, “Halo, laiboeng sai uhsih lamtah hmai neh tik uh sih,” a ti uh. Te dongah lungto yueng la laiboeng tea khuehtih taplai yueng la lungpaata khueh uh.
4 “Come,” they said, “let us build for ourselves a city with a tower that reaches to the heavens, that we may make a name for ourselves and not be scattered over the face of all the earth.”
Te vaengah, “Lo lah, mamih ham khopuei neh rhaltoengim khaw, a soite vaan duela sa uh sih. Te dongah mamih ham ming khueh sih, diklai pum kah mikhmuh ah vik n'taekyak uh ve,” a ti uh.
5 Then the LORD came down to see the city and the tower that the sons of men were building.
Tedae khopuei te hmuh ham BOEIPA ha pawk vaengah hlang ca rhoek loh rhaltoengim te ana sak uh.
6 And the LORD said, “If they have begun to do this as one people speaking the same language, then nothing they devise will be beyond them.
BOEIPA loh amih he pilnam pakhat neh ol pakhat la boeih a om uh dongah saii hama mangtaeng uh khaw saii hama tong uh hatah amih ham lol tlaih pawt la he!
7 Come, let Us go down and confuse their language, so that they will not understand one another’s speech.”
Ceh, suntla uhsih lamtah amih ol te thoek pah sih. Te daengah ni hlang loh a hui kah hmuilai te a yaak pawt eh?,” a ti.
8 So the LORD scattered them from there over the face of all the earth, and they stopped building the city.
Te dongah BOEIPA loh amih te diklai hman boeih aha taekyak tih khopuei thoh ham khawa toeng uh.
9 That is why it is called Babel, for there the LORD confused the language of the whole world, and from that place the LORD scattered them over the face of all the earth.
He kongah BOEIPA loh diklai pum kah ol he pahoia thoek pah tih a mingte Babylona sui. Te lamlong tah BOEIPA loh amihte diklai hman boeih aha taekyak.

31 And Terah took his son Abram, his grandson Lot son of Haran, and his daughter-in-law Sarai the wife of Abram, and they set out from Ur of the Chaldeans for the land of Canaan. But when they arrived in Haran, they settled there.
