Genesis 11
1 Now the earth was of one language and of the same speech.
Te vaengah diklai pum ah ol pakhat neh olka thikat laom.
2 And when they were advancing from the east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they dwelt in it.
Tedae amih te khothoeng la a puen uh hatah Shinar khohmuen ah kolbawn a hmuh uh tih teah te kho a sak uh.
3 And each one said to his neighbor, “Come, let us make bricks, and bake them with fire.” And they had bricks instead of stones, and pitch instead of mortar.
Te vaengah hlang loh a hui taengah, “Halo, laiboeng sai uh sih lamtah hmai neh tik uh sih,” a ti uh. Te dongah lungto yueng la laiboeng te a khueh tih taplai yueng la lungpaat a khueh uh.
4 And they said: “Come, let us make a city and a tower, so that its height may reach to heaven. And let us make our name famous before we are divided into all the lands.”
Te vaengah, “Lo lah, mamih ham khopuei neh rhaltoengim khaw, a soi te 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 Then the Lord descended to see the city and the tower, which the sons of Adam were building.
Tedae khopuei te hmuh ham BOEIPA ha pawk vaengah hlang ca rhoek loh rhaltoengim te ana sak uh.
6 And he said: “Behold, the people are united, and all have one tongue. And since they have begun to do this, they will not desist from their plans, until they have completed their work.
BOEIPA loh amih he pilnam pakhat neh ol pakhat la boeih a om uh dongah saii ham a mangtaeng uh khaw saii ham a tong uh hatah amih ham lol tlaih pawt la he!
7 Therefore, come, let us descend, and in that place confound their tongue, so that they may not listen, each one to the voice of his neighbor.”
Ceh, suntla uh sih 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 so the Lord divided them from that place into all the lands, and they ceased to build the city.
Te dongah BOEIPA loh amih te diklai hman boeih ah a taekyak tih khopuei thoh ham khaw a toeng uh.
9 And for this reason, its name was called ‘Babel,’ because in that place the language of the whole earth became confused. And from then on, the Lord scattered them across the face of every region.
He kongah BOEIPA loh diklai pum kah ol he pahoi a thoek pah tih a ming te Babylon a sui. Te lamlong tah BOEIPA loh amih te diklai hman boeih ah a taekyak.
10 These are the generations of Shem. Shem was one hundred years old when he conceived Arphaxad, two years after the great flood.
Hekah he Shem kah rhuirhong ni. Shem te kum yakhat lo ca coeng tih tuilii kum phoeiah Arpaxad te a sak.
11 And after he conceived Arphaxad, Shem lived for five hundred years, and he conceived sons and daughters.
Arpaxad te a sak phoeiah Shem khaw kum ya nga hing tih capa rhoek neh canu rhoek te a sak.
12 Next, Arphaxad lived for thirty-five years, and then he conceived Shelah.
Arpaxad khaw kum sawmthum neh kum nga a lo vaengah Shelah te a sak.
13 And after he conceived Shelah, Arphaxad lived for three hundred and three years, and he conceived sons and daughters.
Shelah te a sak phoeiah Arpaxad khaw kum ya li neh kum thum hing tih a capa rhoek neh canu rhoek te a sak.
14 Likewise, Shelah lived for thirty years, and then he conceived Eber.
Shelah khaw kum sawmthum a lo vaengah Eber te a sak.
15 And after he conceived Eber, Shelah lived for four hundred and three years, and he conceived sons and daughters.
Eber te a sak phoeiah Shelah khaw kum ya li neh kum thum hing tih capa rhoek neh canu rhoek te a sak.
16 Then Eber lived for thirty-four years, and he conceived Peleg.
Eber khaw kum sawmthum neh kum li a lo vaengah Palak te a sak.
17 And after he conceived Peleg, Eber lived for four hundred and thirty years, and he conceived sons and daughters.
Palak te a sak phoeiah Eber khaw kum ya li neh kum sawmthum hing tih capa rhoek neh canu rhoek te a sak.
18 Likewise, Peleg lived for thirty years, and then he conceived Reu.
Palak khaw kum sawmthum a lo vaengah Reu te a sak.
19 And after he conceived Reu, Peleg lived for two hundred and nine years, and he conceived sons and daughters.
Reu te a sak phoeiah Palak khaw kum yahnih neh kum ko hing tih capa rhoek neh canu rhoek te a sak.
20 Then Reu lived for thirty-two years, and then he conceived Serug.
Reu khaw kum sawmthum neh kum nit a lo vaengah Seruk te a sak.
21 Likewise, after he conceived Serug, Reu lived for two hundred and seven years, and he conceived sons and daughters.
Seruk te a sak phoeiah Reu khaw kum ya neh kum rhih hing tih capa rhoek neh canu rhoek te a sak.
22 In truth, Serug lived for thirty years, and then he conceived Nahor.
Seruk khaw kum sawmthum a lo vaengah Nakhaw te a sak.
23 And after he conceived Nahor, Serug lived for two hundred years, and he conceived sons and daughters.
Nakhaw te a sak phoeiah Seruk khaw kum yahnih hing tih capa rhoek neh canu rhoek te a sak.
24 And so Nahor lived for twenty-nine years, and then he conceived Terah.
Nakhaw khaw kum kul neh kum ko a lo vaengah Terah te a sak.
25 And after he conceived Terah, Nahor lived for one hundred and nineteen years, and he conceived sons and daughters.
Terah te a sak phoeiah Nakhaw khaw kum ya neh kum hlai ko hing tih capa rhoek neh canu rhoek te a sak.
26 And Terah lived for seventy years, and then he conceived Abram, and Nahor, and Haran.
Terah khaw kum sawmrhih a lo vaengah Abram, Nakhaw, neh Haran te a sak.
27 And these are the generations of Terah. Terah conceived Abram, Nahor, and Haran. Next Haran conceived Lot.
Te phoeiah hekah he Terah kah rhuirhong ni. Terah loh Abram, Nakhaw neh Haran te a sak tih Haran loh Lot te a sak.
28 And Haran died before his father Terah, in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldeans.
Tedae Haran te a napa Terah mikhmuh ah a pacaboeina khohmuen Khalden kho Ur ah duek.
29 Then Abram and Nahor took wives. 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 the father of Iscah.
Te phoeiah Abram neh Nakhaw loh yuu a loh rhoi. Abram yuu ming tah Sarai tih Nakhaw yuu ming tah Haran canu Milkah ni. Haran tah Milkah neh Iskah kah a napa ni.
30 But Sarai was barren and had no children.
Te vaengah Sarai te yaa la om tih camoe khueh pawh.
31 And so Terah took his son Abram, and his grandson Lot, the son of Haran, and his daughter-in-law Sarai, the wife of his son Abram, and he led them away from Ur of the Chaldeans, to go into the land of Canaan. And they approached as far as Haran, and they dwelt there.
Tedae Terah loh a capa Abram neh a capa Haran kah capa Lot khaw, a capa Abram yuu a langa Sarai khaw, a khuen tih Khalden kho Ur lamkah Kanaan khohmuen la caeh ham tun hlah uh dae Haran te a pha uh vaengah teah te kho vik a sak uh.
32 And the days of Terah that passed were two hundred and five years, and then he died in Haran.
Terah kah a tue khohnin he kum yahnih neh kum nga lo. Terah khaw Haran ah duek.
