Genesis 11
1 Now the whole world had one language and a common form of speech.
Maꞌahulu na, basa atahori sia raefafoꞌ ia olaꞌ rendiꞌ a dedꞌeat esaꞌ a.
2 And as people journeyed eastward, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there.
Ruma sangga lali risiꞌ seriꞌ rulu, losa rae tetuꞌ esa sia Sinear, de ara leo sia naa.
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.
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 “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.”
5 Then the LORD came down to see the city and the tower that the sons of men were building.
Boe ma LAMATUALAIN nema mete sobꞌa nusaꞌ naa, no ume naruꞌ fo rafefelaꞌ a.
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.
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 Us go down and confuse their language, so that they will 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 from there over the face of all the earth, and 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 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.
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 account of Shem. Two years after the flood, when Shem was 100 years old, he became the father of Arphaxad.
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.

16 When Eber was 34 years old, he became the father of Peleg.
Eber too telu nulu haa ma, ana hambu ana touꞌ esa, naran Pelek.
17 And after he had become the father of Peleg, Eber lived 430 years and had other sons and daughters.
Basa ma, Eber feꞌe nasodꞌa seluꞌ too natun haa telu nulu, de ana hambu seluꞌ ana touꞌ ma inaꞌ fai.

20 When Reu was 32 years old, he became the father of Serug.
Rehu too telu nulu rua ma, ana hambu ana touꞌ esa, naran Seruk.
21 And after he had become the father of Serug, Reu lived 207 years and had other sons and daughters.
Basa ma, Rehu feꞌe nasodꞌa too natun rua hitu, de hambu seluꞌ ana touꞌ ma inaꞌ fai.
22 When Serug was 30 years old, he became the father of Nahor.

23 And after he had become the father of Nahor, Serug lived 200 years and had other sons and daughters.
Basa ma, Seruk feꞌe nasodꞌa seluꞌ too natun rua, de hambu seluꞌ ana touꞌ ma inaꞌ fai.

25 And after he had become the father of Terah, Nahor lived 119 years and had other sons and daughters.
Basa ma, Nahor feꞌe nasodꞌa seluꞌ too natun esa sana hulu sio, de hambu seluꞌ ana touꞌ ma inaꞌ fai.
26 When Terah was 70 years old, he became the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
Tera too hitu nulu lena ma, ana hambu ana touꞌ telu ena, nara nara Abram, Nahor, ma Haran.
27 This is the account of Terah. Terah became the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran. And 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 During his father Terah’s lifetime, Haran died in his native land, in Ur of the Chaldeans.
Haran mate mia kambo na, naran Ur, sia atahori Kasdim ra rae na. Ana mate te, ama na Tera feꞌe masodꞌaꞌ.
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 sao na Sarai. Nahor sao nala Haran ana feto na, Milka. Haran o ma ana touꞌ esa, naran Yiska.
30 But Sarai was barren; she had no children.
Te Sarai nda mana bꞌonggiꞌ sa.
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.
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 Terah lived 205 years, and he died in Haran.
Tera too natun rua lima ma, ana mate sia naa.
