Genesis 11
1 And all the earth had one language and one tongue.
To naah long pum ah lok maeto khue oh moe, lok maeto ni apaeh o.
2 And it came about that in their wandering from the east, they came to a stretch of flat country in the land of Shinar, and there they made their living-place.
Ni angyae bang hoiah a caeh o, Shinar azawn to hnuk o naah, to ah khosak o.
3 And they said one to another, Come, let us make bricks, burning them well. And they had bricks for stone, putting them together with sticky earth.
To naah nihcae mah maeto hoi maeto khaeah, Angzo oh, amlai long pahlom o si loe, hmaiqoeng o si, tiah thuih o. Thlung zuengah amlai long to patoh o moe, param long zuengah thing tangpri to patoh o.
4 And they said, Come, let us make a town, and a tower whose top will go up as high as heaven; and let us make a great name for ourselves, so that we may not be wanderers over the face of the earth.
Nihcae mah, Angzo oh, vangpui maeto sah o si loe, van pha khoek to imsang to sah o si; aimacae ahmin amthang hanah sah o si, to tih ai nahaeloe long pum ah ampraek o boih moeng tih, tiah a thuih o.
5 And the Lord came down to see the town and the tower which the children of men were building.
Angraeng loe kaminawk mah sak ih imsang hoi vangpui to khet hanah, angzoh tathuk.
6 And the Lord said, See, they are all one people and have all one language; and this is only the start of what they may do: and now it will not be possible to keep them from any purpose of theirs.
Angraeng mah, Khenah, kaminawk loe maeto ah oh o moe, lok maeto apaeh o boih pongah, hae tok hae sak amtong o boeh; vaihi sak han a poek o ih hmuen hae pakaahaih tidoeh om ai ah sah o tih.
7 Come, let us go down and take away the sense of their language, so that they will not be able to make themselves clear to one another.
Angzo oh, caeh o tathuk si loe, maeto hoi maeto lok angthaih han ai ah, lok anghmangsak si, tiah thuih o.
8 So the Lord God sent them away into every part of the earth: and they gave up building their town.
To pongah Angraeng mah nihcae to long pum ah ampraeksak; to naah vangpui to sah ai ah toengh o sut.
9 So it was named Babel, because there the Lord took away the sense of all languages and from there the Lord sent them away over all the face of the earth.
Angraeng mah long pum ah kaom kaminawk to lok anghmangsak, to ahmuen hoiah nihcae to long pum ah ampraeksak phang, to pongah vangpui to Babel, tiah kawk o.
10 These are the generations of Shem. Shem was a hundred years old when he became the father of Arpachshad, two years after the great flow of waters;
Shem ih caanawk kawng loe hae tiah oh; Shem loe saning cumvaito oh moe, tui uemhaih phak pacoeng, saning hnetto naah, Arphazad to sak;
11 And after the birth of Arpachshad, Shem went on living for five hundred years, and had sons and daughters:
Arphazad to a sak pacoengah, Shem loe saning cumvai pangato hing moe, kalah capa hoi canunawk doeh sak vop.
12 And Arpachshad was thirty-five years old when he became the father of Shelah:
Arphazad loe saning qui thum, pangato naah Salah to sak.
13 And after the birth of Shelah, Arpachshad went on living for four hundred and three years, and had sons and daughters:
Arphazad loe Salah sak pacoengah, saning cumvai pali, thumto hing moe, kalah capa hoi canunawk doeh sak vop.
14 And Shelah was thirty years old when he became the father of Eber:
Salah loe saning qui thumto naah, Eber to sak.
15 And after the birth of Eber, Shelah went on living for four hundred and three years, and had sons and daughters:
Salah loe Eber sak pacoengah saning cumvai pali, thumto hing moe, kalah capa hoi canunawk doeh sak vop.
16 And Eber was thirty-four years old when he became the father of Peleg:
Eber loe saning qui thum, palito naah Peleg to sak.
17 And after the birth of Peleg, Eber went on living for four hundred and thirty years, and had sons and daughters:
Eber loe Peleg sak pacoengah, saning cumvai pali, qui thumto hing moe, kalah capa hoi canunawk doeh sak vop.
18 And Peleg was thirty years old when he became the father of Reu:
Peleg loe saning qui thumto naah Reu to sak.
19 And after the birth of Reu, Peleg went on living for two hundred and nine years, and had sons and daughters:
Peleg loe Reu sak pacoengah, saning cumvai hnet, takawtto hing moe, kalah capa hoi canunawk doeh sak vop.
20 And Reu was thirty-two years old when he became the father of Serug:
Reu loe saning qui thum, hnetto naah Serug to sak.
21 And after the birth of Serug, Reu went on living for two hundred and seven years, and had sons and daughters:
Reu loe Serug sak pacoengah, saning cumvai hnet, sarihto hing moe, kalah capa hoi canunawk doeh sak vop.
22 And Serug was thirty years old when he became the father of Nahor:
Serug loe saning qui thumto naah Nahor to sak.
23 And after the birth of Nahor, Serug went on living for two hundred years, and had sons and daughters:
Serug loe Nahor sak pacoengah, saning cumvai hnetto hing moe, kalah capa hoi canunawk doeh sak vop.
24 And Nahor was twenty-nine years old when he became the father of Terah:
Nahor loe saning pumphae takawtto naah, Terah to sak.
25 And after the birth of Terah, Nahor went on living for a hundred and nineteen years, and had sons and daughters:
Nahor loe Terah sak pacoengah, saning cumvai, hatlai takawtto hing moe, capa hoi canunawk sak vop.
26 And Terah was seventy years old when he became the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
Terah loe saning cumvai sarihto naah, Abram, Nahor hoi Haran to sak.
27 These are the generations of Terah: Terah was the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran was the father of Lot.
Terah ih caanawk kawng loe hae tiah oh; Terah mah Abram, Nahor hoi Haran to sak; Haran mah Lot to sak.
28 And death came to Haran when he was with his father Terah in the land of his birth, Ur of the Chaldees.
Haran loe ampa Terah dueh ai naah, a tapenhaih Khaldia prae Ur vangpui ah duek.
29 And Abram and Nahor took wives for themselves: the name of Abram's wife was Sarai, and the name of Nahor's wife was Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah and Iscah.
Abram hoi Nahor loe zu lak hoi hmaek; Abram ih zu loe Sarai; Nahor ih zu loe Milkah; Haran mah canu, Milkah hoi Ishkah to sak.
30 And Sarai had no child.
Sarai loe caa kaak; to pongah caa sah ai.
31 And Terah took Abram, his son, and Lot, the son of Haran, and Sarai, his daughter-in-law, the wife of his son Abram and they went out from Ur of the Chaldees, to go to the land of Canaan; and they came to Haran, and were there for some time.
Terah mah a capa Abram, Haran ih capa Lot, a capa Abram ih zu, a langah Sarai to kawk moe, Khadia prae Ur vangpui hoiah Kanaan prae ah caeh haih; Haran vangpui phak o naah, to ah khosak o.
32 And all the years of Terah's life were two hundred and five: and Terah came to his end in Haran.
Terah loe saning cumvai hnet, pangato hing moe, Haran vangpui ah duek.
