Genesis 11
1 And the whole earth had one language, and the same words.
Le ɣe ma ɣi me la, amegbetɔƒome blibo la doa gbe ɖeka ko.
2 And it came to pass as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and dwelt there.
Esi amewo de asi agbɔsɔsɔ ɖe edzi me la, woɖo ta ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo, eye woke ɖe anyigba aɖe si sɔ la ŋu le Sinar. Eteƒe medidi kura hafi amewo sɔ gbɔ ɖe afi sia o.
3 And they said one to another, Come on, let us make bricks, and burn [them] thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and they had asphalt for mortar.
Wogblɔ na wo nɔewo be, “Miva, mina míame anyikpewo, míaƒo dzo wo nyuie.” Wowɔ anyikpe ŋu dɔ ɖe kpe ŋutɔ teƒe kple aŋɔ yibɔ ɖe anyi teƒe.
4 And they said, Come on, let us build ourselves a city and a tower, the top of which [may reach] to the heavens; and let us make ourselves a name, lest we be scattered over the face of the whole earth.
Woyi edzi gblɔ be, “Miva, mina míatso du na mía ɖokui, eye míawɔ gbetakpɔxɔ kɔkɔ aɖe wòayi aɖatɔ dziƒo, be míaƒe ŋkɔ nade du ne míagakaka ɖe anyigba katã dzi o.”
5 And Jehovah came down to see the city and the tower which the children of men built.
Ke esi Yehowa va kpɔ dua kple mɔ si tum amegbetɔviwo nɔ la,
6 And Jehovah said, Behold, the people is one, and have all one language; and this have they begun to do. And now will they be hindered in nothing that they meditate doing.
egblɔ be, “Ne woate ŋu awɔ nu siawo katã fifia, esi wònye azɔ koe wodze sii be gbe ɖeka gblɔm yewole, eye dukɔ ɖeka yewonye la, mibu nu si woava wɔ emegbe la ŋu kpɔ! Naneke meli si woado kpo wɔwɔ o.
7 Come, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.
Mina míaɖi ayi anyigba dzi, eye míatɔtɔ woƒe gbe ale be womagase wo nɔewo gɔme o!”
8 And Jehovah scattered them thence over the face of the whole earth. And they left off building the city.
Ale Yehowa ka wo katã hlẽ ɖe anyigba blibo la dzi. Ale du la tsotso nu tso.
9 Therefore was its name called Babel; because Jehovah there confounded the language of the whole earth. And Jehovah scattered them thence over the face of the whole earth.
Eya ta wona ŋkɔ du ma be Babel si gɔmee nye, “Tɔtɔ,” elabena afi ma Yehowa tɔtɔ gbe na amewo le, eye wokaka ɖe afi sia afi le anyigba blibo la dzi.
10 These are the generations of Shem. Shem was a hundred years old, and begot Arphaxad two years after the flood.
Esiae nye Sem ƒe ŋutinya. eve le tsiɖɔɖɔ megbe, esime Sem xɔ ƒe alafa ɖeka la, edzi Arfaxad.
11 And Shem lived after he had begotten Arphaxad five hundred years, and begot sons and daughters.

Esi Eber xɔ ƒe blaetɔ̃-vɔ-ene la, edzi Peleg.
17 And Eber lived after he had begotten Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and begot sons and daughters.
Esi wòdzi Peleg la, Eber ganɔ agbe ƒe alafa ene blaetɔ̃, eye wògadzi viŋutsu kple vinyɔnu bubuwo.
18 And Peleg lived thirty years, and begot Reu.
Esi Peleg xɔ ƒe blaetɔ̃ la, edzi Reu.
19 And Peleg lived after he had begotten Reu two hundred and nine years, and begot sons and daughters.
Eye esi wòdzi Reu la, Peleg ganɔ agbe ƒe alafa eve kple asiekɛ, eye wògadzi viŋutsu kple vinyɔnu bubuwo.

21 And Reu lived after he had begotten Serug two hundred and seven years, and begot sons and daughters.
Eye esi wòdzi Serug la, Reu ganɔ agbe ƒe alafa eve kple adre, eye wògadzi viŋutsu kple vinyɔnu bubuwo.
22 And Serug lived thirty years, and begot Nahor.
Esi Serug xɔ ƒe blaetɔ̃ la, edzi Nahor.
23 And Serug lived after he had begotten Nahor two hundred years, and begot sons and daughters.
Eye esi wòdzi Nahor megbe la, Serug ganɔ agbe ƒe alafa eve, eye wògadzi viŋutsu kple vinyɔnu bubuwo.
24 And Nahor lived twenty-nine years, and begot Terah.
Esi Nahor xɔ ƒe blaeve-vɔ-asiekɛ la, edzi Tera.
25 And Nahor lived after he had begotten Terah a hundred and nineteen years, and begot sons and daughters.
Eye esi wòdzi Tera la, Nahor ganɔ agbe ƒe alafa ɖeka kple wuiasiekɛ, eye wògadzi viŋutsu kple vinyɔnu bubuwo.
26 And Terah lived seventy years, and begot Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
Esi Tera xɔ ƒe blaadre la, edzi Abram, Nahor kple Haran.
27 And these are the generations of Terah: Terah begot Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begot Lot.
Tera ƒe dzidzimeviwo ŋutinya enye si. Tera dzi Abram, Nahor kple Haran; eye Haran dzi Lot.
28 And Haran died before the face of his father Terah in the land of his nativity at Ur of the Chaldeans.
Ke Haran ku kaba le anyigba si dzi wodzii ɖo la dzi si nye Ur le Kaldea le esime fofoa Tera ganɔ agbe ko.
29 And Abram and Nahor took wives: the name of Abram's wife was Sarai; and the name of Nahor's wife, Milcah, a daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah and the father of Iscah.
Abram ɖe fofoa ƒe vi Sarai le esime nɔvia Nahor ɖe Haran si ku la ƒe vi, Milka. Nɔviŋutsu si nɔ Milka sie nye Yiska.
30 And Sarai was barren: she had no child.
Ke Sarai medzi vi aɖeke o.
31 And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran his son's son, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram's wife; and they went forth together out of Ur of the Chaldeans, to go into the land of Canaan, and came as far as Haran, and dwelt there.
Tera kplɔ via Abram, eƒe tɔgbuiyɔvi Lot, ame si nye Haran ƒe vi la kple via Abram srɔ̃, Sarai, eye wodzo le Ur le Kaldea be yewoayi Kanaanyigba dzi. Ke wotɔ, eye wotso kɔƒe ɖe Haran.
32 And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years; and Terah died in Haran.
Tera ku le Haran esi wòxɔ ƒe alafa eve kple atɔ̃.
