Genesis 11
1 Now the whole world had one language and a common form of speech.
Ary ny tany rehetra dia iray fanononana sy iray fiteny.
2 And as people journeyed eastward, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there.
Ary raha nifindrafindra niantsinanana ny olona, dia nahita tany lemaka tany amin’ ny tany Sinara izy ka nonina teo.
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.
Ary niresadresaka hoe izy: Andeha isika hanao biriky ka handotra azy tsara. Ary ny biriky na taony solom-bato, ary ny asfalta nataony solon-drihitra.
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.”
Ary hoy izy: Andeha isika hanao tanàna sy tilikambo ho antsika, ka ny tampony hahatakatra ny lanitra, dia hanao izay hahazoantsika laza, fandrao hiely eny ambonin’ ny tany rehetra isika.
5 Then the LORD came down to see the city and the tower that the sons of men were building.
Dia nidina Jehovah hizaha ny tanàna sy ny tilikambo, izay nataon’ ny zanak’ olombelona.
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.
Ary hoy Jehovah: Indro, iray foko ny olona, sady iray fanononana izy rehetra, ary ity vao fiandohan’ ny hataony; koa izao dia tsy hisy azo sakanana na inona na inona izay saintsaininy hatao.
7 Come, let Us go down and confuse their language, so that they will not understand one another’s speech.”
Aoka isika hidina, ka eny no hanorokoroantsika ny fiteniny, mba tsy hifankahala teny izy.
8 So the LORD scattered them from there over the face of all the earth, and they stopped building the city.
Dia tao no nampielezan’ i Jehovah azy hiala ho eny ambonin’ ny tany rehetra; dia nitsahatra tsy nanao ny tanàna intsony izy.
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.
Koa izany no nanaovana ny anarany hoe Babela; fa tao Jehovah no nanorokoro ny fitenin’ ny tany rehetra; ary tao no nampielezan’ i Jehovah ny olona ho eny ambonin’ ny tany rehetra.
10 This is the account of Shem. Two years after the flood, when Shem was 100 years old, he became the father of Arphaxad.
Izao no taranak’ i Sema: Rehefa zato taona Sema, dia niteraka an’ i Arpaksada izy roa taona taorian’ ny safo-drano.
11 And after he had become the father of Arphaxad, Shem lived 500 years and had other sons and daughters.
Ary ny andro niainan’ i Sema taorian’ ny niterahany an’ i Arpaksada dia diman-jato taona; ary niteraka zazalahy sy zazavavy izy.
12 When Arphaxad was 35 years old, he became the father of Shelah.
Ary rehefa dimy amby telo-polo taona ny andro niainan’ i Arpaksada, dia niteraka an’ i Sela izy.
13 And after he had become the father of Shelah, Arphaxad lived 403 years and had other sons and daughters.

14 When Shelah was 30 years old, he became the father of Eber.
Ary rehefa telo-polo taona ny andro niainan’ i Sela, dia niteraka an’ i Ebera izy.
15 And after he had become the father of Eber, Shelah lived 403 years and had other sons and daughters.
Ary ny andro niainan’ i Sela taorian’ ny niterahany an’ i Ebera dia telo amby efa-jato taona; ary niteraka zazalahy sy zazavavy izy.
16 When Eber was 34 years old, he became the father of Peleg.
Ary rehefa efatra amby telo-polo taona ny andro niainan’ i Ebera, dia niteraka an’ i Palega izy.
17 And after he had become the father of Peleg, Eber lived 430 years and had other sons and daughters.
Ary ny andro niainan’ i Ebera taorian’ ny niterahany an’ i Palega dia telo-polo amby efa-jato taona; ary niteraka zazalahy sy zazavavy izy.
18 When Peleg was 30 years old, he became the father of Reu.
Ary rehefa telo-polo taona ny andro niainan’ i Palega, dia niteraka an-dReo izy,
19 And after he had become the father of Reu, Peleg lived 209 years and had other sons and daughters.
Ary ny andro niainan’ i Palega taorian’ ny niterahany an-dReo dia sivy amby roan-jato taona; ary niteraka zazalahy sy zazavavy izy.
20 When Reu was 32 years old, he became the father of Serug.
Ary rehefa roa amby telo-polo, taona ny andro niainan-dReo, dia niteraka an’ i Seroga izy.
21 And after he had become the father of Serug, Reu lived 207 years and had other sons and daughters.
Ary ny andro niainan-dReo taorian’ ny niterahany an’ i Seroga dia fito amby roan-jato taona; ary niteraka zazalahy sy zazavavy izy.
22 When Serug was 30 years old, he became the father of Nahor.
Ary rehefa telo-polo taona ny andro niainan’ i Seroga, dia niteraka an’ i Nahora izy,
23 And after he had become the father of Nahor, Serug lived 200 years and had other sons and daughters.
Ary ny andro niainan’ i Seroga taorian’ ny niterahany an’ i Nahora dia roan-jato taona; ary niteraka zazalahy sy zazavavy izy.
24 When Nahor was 29 years old, he became the father of Terah.
Ary rehefa sivy amby roa-polo taona ny andro niainan’ i Nahora, dia niteraka an’ i Tera izy.
25 And after he had become the father of Terah, Nahor lived 119 years and had other sons and daughters.
Ary ny andro niainan’ i Nahora taorian’ ny niterahany an’ i Tera dia sivy ambin’ ny folo amby zato taona; ary niteraka zazalahy sy zazavavy izy.
26 When Terah was 70 years old, he became the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
Ary rehefa fito-polo taona ny andro niainan’ i Tera, dia niteraka an’ i Abrama sy Nahora ary Harana izy:
27 This is the account of Terah. Terah became the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran. And Haran became the father of Lot.
Ary izao no taranak’ i Tera: Tera niteraka an’ i Abrama sy Nahora ary Harana; ary Harana niteraka an’ i Lota.
28 During his father Terah’s lifetime, Haran died in his native land, in Ur of the Chaldeans.
Ary maty Harana, raha mbola teo anatrehan’ i Tera rainy tany amin’ ny tany nahaterahany, dia tao Oran’ ny Kaldeana.
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.
Ary Abrama sy Nahora dia samy naka vady ho azy: ny anaran’ ny vadin’ i Abrama dia Saray; ary ny anaran’ ny vadin’ i Nahora dia Milka, zanakavavin’ i Harana, rain’ i Milka sy rain’ Iska.
30 But Sarai was barren; she had no children.
Ary momba Saray; tsy nanan-janaka izy.
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.
Ary Tera nitondra an’ i Abrama zanany sy Lota zafiny, zanak’ i Harana, ary Saray vinantoni-vavy, vadin’ i Abrama zanany; dia niaraka taminy ireo ka niala tao Oran’ ny Kaldeana hankany amin’ ny tany Kanana; dia tonga tao Harana izy ka nonina tao.
32 Terah lived 205 years, and he died in Haran.
Ary dimy amby roan-jato taona ny andro niainan’ i Tera; dia maty tao Harana izy.
