Genesis 11
1 And the whole earth had one language, and the same words.
Bere bi, na nnipa a wɔwɔ asase so nyinaa ka kasa koro.
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.
Saa nnipa yi tu baa apuei fam no, wɔbɛtoo asase tamaa wɔ Babilonia asase so, na wɔtenaa hɔ.
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.
Wosisee wɔn ho wɔn ho se, “Momma yentwa ntayaa na yɛnto mma ɛmmen yiye.” Na wɔde ntayaa ne ama na esi adan.
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.
Na wɔkae bio se, “Momma yɛnkyekye kurow kɛse, na yensi abantenten a ne sorɔnsorɔmmea du ɔsorosoro wɔ kurow no mu, na yennye din, na yɛanhwete wɔ asase so.”
5 And Jehovah came down to see the city and the tower which the children of men built.
Awurade sian fii ɔsoro baa fam, behuu kurow kɛse a wɔrekyekyere no ne abantenten a wɔresi no.
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.
Awurade kae se, “Sɛ nnipa koro a wɔka kasa baako afi ase redi saa dwuma yi a, ɛno de biribiara a wɔbɔ wɔn tirim sɛ wɔbɛyɛ no renyɛ wɔn den.
7 Come, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.
Mommra na yɛnkɔ asase so, na yɛnkɔtoto wɔn kasa, na obiara nnya ne kasa, sɛnea obiara nte ne yɔnko kasa.”
8 And Jehovah scattered them thence over the face of the whole earth. And they left off building the city.
Ɛnam eyi so maa Awurade hwetee nnipa no nyinaa mu ma wɔpetee asase so nyinaa, maa wogyaee kurow kɛse no kyekyere.
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.
Ɛno nti na wɔfrɛɛ kurow kɛse no Babel, efisɛ, ɛhɔ na Awurade totoo kasa baako a na wɔka wɔ wiase nyinaa saa bere no, maa wɔn kasa ahorow. Efi hɔ na Awurade hwetee nnipa no nyinaa mu ma wɔpetee asase so nyinaa.
10 These are the generations of Shem. Shem was a hundred years old, and begot Arphaxad two years after the flood.
Eyi ne Sem asefo ho asɛm. Nsuyiri no akyi, mfe abien no a na Sem adi mfe ɔha no, ɔwoo Arfaksad.
11 And Shem lived after he had begotten Arphaxad five hundred years, and begot sons and daughters.
Sem woo Arfaksad akyi no ɔtenaa ase mfe ahannum, wowoo mmabarima ne mmabea bi nso kaa ho.
12 And Arphaxad lived thirty-five years, and begot Shelah.
Arfaksad nso dii mfe aduasa anum no, ɔwoo Sela.
13 And Arphaxad lived after he had begotten Shelah four hundred and three years, and begot sons and daughters.
Arfaksad woo Sela akyi no ɔtenaa ase mfe ahannan ne abiɛsa, wowoo mmabarima ne mmabea bi nso kaa ho.
14 And Shelah lived thirty years, and begot Eber.
Sela dii mfe aduasa no, ɔwoo Eber.
15 And Shelah lived after he had begotten Eber four hundred and three years, and begot sons and daughters.
Sela woo Eber akyi no ɔtenaa ase mfe ahannan ne abiɛsa, wowoo mmabarima ne mmabea bi nso kaa ho.
16 And Eber lived thirty-four years, and begot Peleg.
Eber dii mfe aduasa anan no, ɔwoo Peleg.
17 And Eber lived after he had begotten Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and begot sons and daughters.
Eber woo Peleg akyi no ɔtenaa ase mfe ahannan ne aduasa, wowoo mmabarima ne mmabea bi nso kaa ho.
18 And Peleg lived thirty years, and begot Reu.
Peleg dii mfe aduasa no, ɔwoo Reu.
19 And Peleg lived after he had begotten Reu two hundred and nine years, and begot sons and daughters.
Peleg woo Reu akyi no ɔtenaa ase mfe ahannu ne akron, wowoo mmabarima ne mmabea bi nso kaa ho.
20 And Reu lived thirty-two years, and begot Serug.
Reu dii mfe aduasa abien no, ɔwoo Serug.
21 And Reu lived after he had begotten Serug two hundred and seven years, and begot sons and daughters.
Reu woo Serug akyi no ɔtenaa ase mfe ahannu ne ason, wowoo mmabarima ne mmabea bi nso kaa ho.
22 And Serug lived thirty years, and begot Nahor.
Serug dii mfe aduasa no, ɔwoo Nahor.
23 And Serug lived after he had begotten Nahor two hundred years, and begot sons and daughters.
Serug woo Nahor akyi no ɔtenaa ase mfe ahannu wowoo mmabarima ne mmabea bi nso kaa ho.
24 And Nahor lived twenty-nine years, and begot Terah.
Nahor dii mfe aduonu akron no, ɔwoo Tera.
25 And Nahor lived after he had begotten Terah a hundred and nineteen years, and begot sons and daughters.
Nahor woo Tera akyi no ɔtenaa ase mfe ɔha ne dunkron, wowoo mmabarima ne mmabea bi nso kaa ho.
26 And Terah lived seventy years, and begot Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
Tera dii mfe aduɔson no, ɔwoo Abram, Nahor ne Haran.
27 And these are the generations of Terah: Terah begot Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begot Lot.
Eyi ne Tera asefo ho asɛm. Tera woo Abram, Nahor ne Haran. Na Haran woo Lot.
28 And Haran died before the face of his father Terah in the land of his nativity at Ur of the Chaldeans.
Bere a Haran agya Tera te ase no, Haran wuu wɔ faako a wɔwoo no a wɔfrɛ hɔ Ur, a ɛwɔ Kaldea asase so no.
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 ne Nahor warewaree. Na Abram yere din de Sarai, na Nahor nso yere din de Milka a na ɔyɛ Haran babea. Saa Haran yi na ɔwoo Milka ne Iska.
30 And Sarai was barren: she had no child.
Na Sarai yɛ obonin; na onni ba.
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 faa ne babarima Abram ne ne nena Lot, a ɔyɛ Haran babarima ne nʼasebea Sarai, a na ɔyɛ ne babarima Abram yere no, ne wɔn nyinaa sii mu fii Ur a ɛwɔ Kaldea asase so sɛ wɔrekɔ Kanaan asase so. Na woduu Haran no, wɔtenaa hɔ.
32 And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years; and Terah died in Haran.
Tera dii mfe ahannu ne anum, na owui wɔ Haran.
