Genesis 11
1 And all the earth had one language and one tongue.
Maꞌahulu na, basa atahori sia raefafoꞌ ia olaꞌ rendiꞌ a dedꞌeat esaꞌ a.
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.
Ruma sangga lali risiꞌ seriꞌ rulu, losa rae tetuꞌ esa sia Sinear, de ara leo sia naa.
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.
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 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.
5 And the Lord came down to see the town and the tower which the children of men were building.
Boe ma LAMATUALAIN nema mete sobꞌa nusaꞌ naa, no ume naruꞌ fo rafefelaꞌ a.
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.
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 take away the sense of their language, so that they will not be able to make themselves clear to one another.
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 God sent them away into every part of the earth: and they gave up building their town.
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 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.
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 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;
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.
11 And after the birth of Arpachshad, Shem went on living for five hundred years, and had sons and daughters:
Basa ma, Sem feꞌe nasodꞌa too natun lima, de hambu seluꞌ ana touꞌ ma inaꞌ fai.
12 And Arpachshad was thirty-five years old when he became the father of Shelah:
Arpaksad too telu nulu lima ma, ana hambu ana touꞌ esa, naran Sela.
13 And after the birth of Shelah, Arpachshad went on living for four hundred and three years, and had sons and daughters:
Basa ma, Arpaksad feꞌe nasodꞌa too natun haa telu, de hambu seluꞌ ana touꞌ ma inaꞌ fai.
14 And Shelah was thirty years old when he became the father of Eber:
Sela too telu nulu ma, ana hambu ana touꞌ esa, naran Eber.
15 And after the birth of Eber, Shelah went on living for four hundred and three years, and had sons and daughters:
Basa ma, Sela feꞌe nasodꞌa too natun haa telu, de hambu seluꞌ ana touꞌ ma inaꞌ fai.
16 And Eber was thirty-four years old when he became the father of Peleg:
Eber too telu nulu haa ma, ana hambu ana touꞌ esa, naran Pelek.
17 And after the birth of Peleg, Eber went on living for four hundred and thirty years, and had sons and daughters:
Basa ma, Eber feꞌe nasodꞌa seluꞌ too natun haa telu nulu, de ana hambu seluꞌ ana touꞌ ma inaꞌ fai.
18 And Peleg was thirty years old when he became the father of Reu:
Pelek too telu nulu ma, ana hambu ana touꞌ esa, naran Rehu.
19 And after the birth of Reu, Peleg went on living for two hundred and nine years, and had sons and daughters:
Basa ma, Pelek nasodꞌa seluꞌ too natun rua sio, de hambu seluꞌ ana touꞌ ma inaꞌ fai.
20 And Reu was thirty-two years old when he became the father of Serug:
Rehu too telu nulu rua ma, ana hambu ana touꞌ esa, naran Seruk.
21 And after the birth of Serug, Reu went on living for two hundred and seven years, and had sons and daughters:
Basa ma, Rehu feꞌe nasodꞌa too natun rua hitu, de hambu seluꞌ ana touꞌ ma inaꞌ fai.
22 And Serug was thirty years old when he became the father of Nahor:
Seruk too telu nulu ma, ana hambu ana touꞌ esa, naran Nahor.
23 And after the birth of Nahor, Serug went on living for two hundred years, and had sons and daughters:
Basa ma, Seruk feꞌe nasodꞌa seluꞌ too natun rua, de hambu seluꞌ ana touꞌ ma inaꞌ fai.
24 And Nahor was twenty-nine years old when he became the father of Terah:
Nahor too rua nulu sio ma, ana hambu ana touꞌ esa, naran Tera.
25 And after the birth of Terah, Nahor went on living for a hundred and nineteen years, and had sons and daughters:
Basa ma, Nahor feꞌe nasodꞌa seluꞌ too natun esa sana hulu sio, de hambu seluꞌ ana touꞌ ma inaꞌ fai.
26 And Terah was seventy years old when 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 These are the generations of Terah: Terah was the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran was the father of Lot.
Ia, Tera tititi-nonosi nara. Tera ana nara, Abram, Nahor, ma Haran. Haran hambu ana touꞌ esa, naran Lot.
28 And death came to Haran when he was with his father Terah in the land of his birth, Ur of the Chaldees.
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: 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 sao na Sarai. Nahor sao nala Haran ana feto na, Milka. Haran o ma ana touꞌ esa, naran Yiska.
30 And Sarai had no child.
Te Sarai nda mana bꞌonggiꞌ sa.
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.
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 And all the years of Terah's life were two hundred and five: and Terah came to his end in Haran.
Tera too natun rua lima ma, ana mate sia naa.
