Genesis 11
1 Now the earth was of one language and of the same speech.
Nan konmansman, tout moun sou latè te pale yon sèl lang, yonn te konprann lòt.
2 And when they were advancing from the east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they dwelt in it.
Apre yo pati soti kote solèy leve a, yo rive nan yon plenn nan peyi Chenea. Yo moute kay yo la, yo rete.
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.
Lè sa a, yonn di lòt. Mezanmi, vini non! Ann fè brik. Ann kwit yo nan dife. Se konsa, yo pran brik sèvi wòch pou bati kay, yo pran asfat sèvi mòtye.
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.”
Apre sa, yo di. Annou wè! Ann bati yon gwo lavil pou nou rete ak yon gwo gwo kay tout won byen wo ki rive jouk nan syèl la. Konsa tout moun va respekte nou, yo p'ap ka gaye nou toupatou sou latè.
5 Then the Lord descended to see the city and the tower, which the sons of Adam were building.
Seyè a desann pou l' wè lavil la ansanm ak gwo kay won moun yo t'ap bati a.
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.
Epi li di. Koulye a, gade! Yo tout fè yon sèl pèp. Yo tout yo pale yon sèl lang. Gade sa yo konmanse ap fè. Talè konsa y'ap pare pou yo fè sa yo vle.
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.”
Bon. N'ap desann, n'ap mele lang yo. Konsa, yonn p'ap ka konprann sa lòt ap di.
8 And so the Lord divided them from that place into all the lands, and they ceased to build the city.
Se konsa Seyè a gaye yo toupatou sou latè. Yo sispann bati lavil la.
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.
Se poutèt sa yo rele lavil la Babèl, paske se la Seyè a te mele lang tout moun ki rete sou latè, li fè yo pati, li gaye yo toupatou sou latè.
10 These are the generations of Shem. Shem was one hundred years old when he conceived Arphaxad, two years after the great flood.
Men pitit pitit Sèm yo. Dezan apre inondasyon an, Sèm te gen santan (100 an) lè li fè yon pitit gason yo rele Apachad.
11 And after he conceived Arphaxad, Shem lived for five hundred years, and he conceived sons and daughters.
Apre sa, li viv senksanzan (500 an) ankò. Li te fè lòt pitit gason ak pitit fi.
12 Next, Arphaxad lived for thirty-five years, and then he conceived Shelah.
Apachad te gen trannsenkan lè li te fè yon pitit gason yo rele Chela.
13 And after he conceived Shelah, Arphaxad lived for three hundred and three years, and he conceived sons and daughters.
Apre sa, li viv katsantwazan (403 an) ankò. Li te fè lòt pitit gason ak pitit fi.
14 Likewise, Shelah lived for thirty years, and then he conceived Eber.
Chela te gen trantan lè li fè yon pitit gason yo rele Ebè.
15 And after he conceived Eber, Shelah lived for four hundred and three years, and he conceived sons and daughters.
Apre sa, li viv katsantwazan (403 an) ankò. Li te fè lòt pitit gason ak pitit fi.
16 Then Eber lived for thirty-four years, and he conceived Peleg.
Ebè te gen trannkatran lè li fè yon pitit gason yo rele Pelèg.
17 And after he conceived Peleg, Eber lived for four hundred and thirty years, and he conceived sons and daughters.
Apre sa, li viv katsantrantan (430 an). Li te fè lòt pitit gason ak pitit fi.
18 Likewise, Peleg lived for thirty years, and then he conceived Reu.
Pelèg te gen trantan lè li fè yon pitit gason yo rele Reou.
19 And after he conceived Reu, Peleg lived for two hundred and nine years, and he conceived sons and daughters.
Apre sa, li viv desannevan (209 an) ankò. Li te fè lòt pitit gason ak pitit fi.
20 Then Reu lived for thirty-two years, and then he conceived Serug.
Reou te gen tranndezan lè li fè yon pitit gason yo rele Sewoug.
21 Likewise, after he conceived Serug, Reu lived for two hundred and seven years, and he conceived sons and daughters.
Apre sa, li viv desansetan (207 an) ankò. Li fè lòt pitit gason ak pitit fi.
22 In truth, Serug lived for thirty years, and then he conceived Nahor.
Sewoug te gen trantan lè li fè yon pitit gason yo rele Nakò.
23 And after he conceived Nahor, Serug lived for two hundred years, and he conceived sons and daughters.
Apre sa, li viv desanzan (200 an) ankò. Li te fè lòt pitit gason ak pitit fi.
24 And so Nahor lived for twenty-nine years, and then he conceived Terah.
Nakò te gen ventnevan lè li fè yon pitit gason yo rele Terak.
25 And after he conceived Terah, Nahor lived for one hundred and nineteen years, and he conceived sons and daughters.
Apre sa, li viv sandiznevan (119 an) ankò. Li te fè lòt pitit gason ak pitit fi.
26 And Terah lived for seventy years, and then he conceived Abram, and Nahor, and Haran.
Terak te gen swasanndizan lè li fè twa pitit gason yo rele Abram, Nakò ak Aran.
27 And these are the generations of Terah. Terah conceived Abram, Nahor, and Haran. Next Haran conceived Lot.
Men pitit ak pitit pitit Terak yo: Terak te papa Abram, Nakò ak Aran. Aran te papa Lòt.
28 And Haran died before his father Terah, in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldeans.
Aran mouri anvan papa l'. Li mouri lavil Our nan peyi Kalde kote l' te fèt la.
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.
Abram ak Nakò te fè pozisyon. Abram marye ak Sarayi, Nakò marye ak Milka, pitit fi Aran. Aran te gen yon lòt pitit ankò yo te rele Jiska.
30 But Sarai was barren and had no children.
Sarayi pa t' gen pitit, li pa t' ka fè pitit.
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.
Terak pran pitit li, Abram, pitit pitit li, Lòt, ki te pitit Aran, ansanm ak bèlfi li Sarayi ki te madanm Abram, pitit li. Li pati ak yo, li kite lavil Our nan peyi Kalde pou li ale nan peyi Kanaran. Men lè yo rive lavil Karan, yo te rete la.
32 And the days of Terah that passed were two hundred and five years, and then he died in Haran.
Se la Terak mouri. Li te gen desansenkan (205 an).
