Genesis 11
1 Now the whole world had one language and a common form of speech.
To, a lokacin, yaren mutanen duniya ɗaya ne, maganarsu kuma ɗaya ce.
2 And as people journeyed eastward, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there.
Yayinda mutane suke ta yin ƙaura zuwa gabas, sai suka sami fili a Shinar, suka zauna a can.
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.
Suka ce wa juna, “Ku zo, mu yi tubula, mu gasa su sosai.” Suka yi amfani da tubula a maimakon duwatsu, kwalta kuma a maimakon laka.
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.”
Sa’an nan suka ce, “Ku zo, mu gina wa kanmu birni da hasumiyar da za tă kai har sammai, domin mu yi wa kanmu suna, don kada mu warwatsu ko’ina a doron ƙasa.”
5 Then the LORD came down to see the city and the tower that the sons of men were building.
Sai Ubangiji ya sauko don yă ga birni da kuma hasumiyar da mutanen suke gini.
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.
Ubangiji ya ce, “Ga su, su jama’a ɗaya ce, su duka kuwa harshensu guda ne. Wannan kuwa masomi ne kawai na abin da za su iya yi, babu kuma abin da suka yi shirya yi da ba za su iya yi ba.
7 Come, let Us go down and confuse their language, so that they will not understand one another’s speech.”
Zo, mu sauka, mu rikitar da harshensu don kada su fahimci juna.”
8 So the LORD scattered them from there over the face of all the earth, and they stopped building the city.
Saboda haka Ubangiji ya watsar da su daga wurin zuwa ko’ina a doron ƙasa, suka kuwa daina gina birnin.
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.
Shi ya sa aka kira birnin Babel, domin a can ne Ubangiji ya rikitar da harshen dukan duniya. Daga can Ubangiji ya watsar da su ko’ina a doron ƙasa.

Wannan ita ce zuriyar Tera. Tera ya haifi Abram, Nahor da Haran. Haran kuma ya haifi Lot.
28 During his father Terah’s lifetime, Haran died in his native land, in Ur of the Chaldeans.
Yayinda mahaifinsa Tera yana da rai, Haran ya rasu a Ur ta Kaldiyawa, a ƙasar haihuwarsa.
29 And Abram and Nahor took wives for themselves. Abram’s wife was named Sarai, and Nahor’s wife was named Milcah; she was the daughter of Haran, who was the father of both Milcah and Iscah.
Abram da Nahor suka yi aure. Sunan matar Abram, Saira ne, sunan matar Nahor kuwa Milka; ita’yar Haran ce, mahaifin Milka da Iska.
30 But Sarai was barren; she had no children.
Saira kuwa bakararriya ce, ba ta da yara.
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.
Tera ya ɗauki ɗansa Abraham, jikansa Lot ɗan Haran, da surukarsa Saira, matar Abram, tare kuwa suka bar Ur ta Kaldiyawa, don su tafi Kan’ana. Amma sa’ad da suka zo Haran sai suka zauna a can.
32 Terah lived 205 years, and he died in Haran.
Tera yi shekaru 205, ya kuma mutu a Haran.
