< Genesis 11 >

1 And all the earth was one lip, and there was one language to all.
Te vaengah diklai pum ah ol pakhat neh olka thikat laom.
2 And it came to pass as they moved from the east, they found a plain in the land of Senaar, and they dwelt there.
Tedae amih te khothoeng laa puen uh hatah Shinar khohmuenah kolbawna hmuh uh tih teah te kho a sak uh.
3 And a man said to his neighbour, Come, let us make bricks and bake them with fire. And the brick was to them for stone, and their mortar was bitumen.
Te vaengah hlangloh a hui taengah, “Halo, laiboeng sai uhsih lamtah hmai neh tik uh sih,” a ti uh. Te dongah lungto yueng la laiboeng tea khuehtih taplai yueng la lungpaata khueh uh.
4 And they said, Come, let us build to ourselves a city and tower, whose top shall be to heaven, and let us make to ourselves a name, before we are scattered abroad upon the face of all the earth.
Te vaengah, “Lo lah, mamih ham khopuei neh rhaltoengim khaw, a soite vaan duela sa uh sih. Te dongah mamih ham ming khueh sih, diklai pum kah mikhmuh ah vik n'taekyak uh ve,” a ti uh.
5 And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the sons of men built.
Tedae khopuei te hmuh ham BOEIPA ha pawk vaengah hlang ca rhoek loh rhaltoengim te ana sak uh.
6 And the Lord said, Behold, [there is] one race, and one lip of all, and they have begun to do this, and now nothing shall fail from them of all that they may have undertaken to do.
BOEIPA loh amih he pilnam pakhat neh ol pakhat la boeih a om uh dongah saii hama mangtaeng uh khaw saii hama tong uh hatah amih ham lol tlaih pawt la he!
7 Come, and having gone down let us there confound their tongue, that they may not understand each the voice of his neighbour.
Ceh, suntla uhsih lamtah amih ol te thoek pah sih. Te daengah ni hlang loh a hui kah hmuilai te a yaak pawt eh?,” a ti.
8 And the Lord scattered them thence over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city and the tower.
Te dongah BOEIPA loh amih te diklai hman boeih aha taekyak tih khopuei thoh ham khawa toeng uh.
9 On this account its name was called Confusion, because there the Lord confounded the languages of all the earth, and thence the Lord scattered them upon the face of all the earth.
He kongah BOEIPA loh diklai pum kah ol he pahoia thoek pah tih a mingte Babylona sui. Te lamlong tah BOEIPA loh amihte diklai hman boeih aha taekyak.

27 And these [are] the generations of Tharrha. Tharrha begot Abram and Nachor, and Arrhan; and Arrhan begot Lot.
Te phoeiah hekah he Terah kah rhuirhong ni. Terah loh Abram, Nakhaw neh Haran tea sak tih Haran loh Lot tea sak.
28 And Arrhan died in the presence of Tharrha his father, in the land in which he was born, in the country of the Chaldees.
Tedae Haran te a napa Terah mikhmuh ah a pacaboeina khohmuen Khalden kho Ur ah duek.
29 And Abram and Nachor took to themselves wives, the name of the wife of Abram was Sara, and the name of the wife of Nachor, Malcha, daughter of Arrhan, and he was the father of Malcha, the father of Jescha.
Te phoeiah Abram neh Nakhaw loh yuua loh rhoi. Abram yuu ming tah Sarai tih Nakhaw yuu ming tah Haran canu Milkah ni. Haran tah Milkah neh Iskah kaha napa ni.
30 And Sara was barren, and did not bear children.
Te vaengah Saraite yaa la omtih camoe khueh pawh.
31 And Tharrha took Abram his son, and Lot the son Arrhan, the son of his son, and Sara his daughter-in-law, the wife of Abram his son, and led them forth out of the land of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Chanaan, and they came as far as Charrhan, and he dwelt there.
Tedae Terahloh a capa Abram neha capa Haran kah capa Lot khaw, a capa Abram yuua langa Sarai khaw, a khuen tih Khalden kho Ur lamkah Kanaan khohmuen la caeh ham tun hlah uh dae Haran tea pha uh vaengah teah te kho vik a sak uh.

Terah kah a tue khohnin he kum yahnih neh kum nga lo. Terah khaw Haran ah duek.
