Genesis 11
1 And the earth was of one tongue, and of the same speech.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo ya tene-rĩ, andũ othe a thĩ maarĩ na rũthiomi rũmwe na mwario o ũmwe.
2 And when they removed from the east, they found a plain in the land of Sennaar, and dwelt in it.
Na rĩrĩa andũ maathiiaga na mwena wa irathĩro, magĩkinya werũ-inĩ ũrĩa mwaraganu wa Shinaru, na magĩtũũra kuo.
3 And each one said to his neighbour: Come, let us make brick, and bake them with fire. And they had brick instead of stones, and slime instead of mortar.
Nao makĩĩrana atĩrĩ, “Ũkai tũũmbe maturubarĩ na tũmacine wega.” Magĩtũmĩra maturubarĩ handũ ha mahiga, na rami handũ ha thimiti.
4 And they said: Come, let us make a city and a tower, the top whereof may reach to heaven: and let us make our name famous before we be scattered abroad into all lands.
Ningĩ magĩcooka makiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũkai, rekei twĩyakĩre itũũra inene, rĩna mũthiringo mũraaya na igũrũ, ũkinye o matu-inĩ, nĩgeetha twĩgĩĩre igweta, na nĩguo tũtikaanahurunjwo thĩ yothe.”
5 And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of Adam were building.
No rĩrĩ, Jehova agĩikũrũka oke one itũũra rĩu na mũthiringo ũcio andũ acio maakaga.
6 And he said: Behold, it is one people, and all have one tongue: and they have begun to do this, neither will they leave off from their designs, till they accomplish them in deed.
Jehova akiuga atĩrĩ na ngoro yake, “Angĩkorwo na ũndũ wa ũrũmwe wa kwaria rũthiomi rũmwe andũ aya nĩmambĩrĩria gwĩka ũũ-rĩ, gũtirĩ ũndũ makaabanga gwĩka ũkaamarema.
7 Come ye, therefore, let us go down, and there confound their tongue, that they may not understand one another’s speech.
Ũkai, tũikũrũke tũkahĩngĩcanie rũthiomi rwao, nĩgeetha matigacooke kũiguithania mĩario mũndũ na ũrĩa ũngĩ.”
8 And so the Lord scattered them from that place into all lands, and they ceased to build the city.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, kuuma hau Jehova akĩmahurunja thĩ yothe, nao magĩtiga gwaka itũũra rĩu inene.
9 And therefore the name thereof was called Babel, because there the language of the whole earth was confounded: and from thence the Lord scattered them abroad upon the face of all countries.
Na nĩkĩo itũũra rĩu rĩetirwo Babeli, tondũ nĩkuo Jehova aahĩngĩcanĩirie rũthiomi rwa andũ a thĩ yothe. Kuuma kũu, Jehova akĩmahurunja thĩ yothe.
10 These are the generations of Sem: Sem was a hundred years old when he begot Arphaxad, two years after the flood.
Ũyũ nĩguo ũhoro wa Shemu. Mĩaka ĩĩrĩ thuutha wa mũiyũro wa maaĩ-rĩ, rĩrĩa Shemu aarĩ na ũkũrũ wa mĩaka igana rĩmwe-rĩ, nĩguo aatuĩkire ithe wa Arafakasadi.
11 And Sem lived after he begot Arphaxad, five hundred years, and begot sons and daughters.
Shemu aatũũrire muoyo mĩaka magana matano thuutha wa gũtuĩka ithe wa Arafakasadi, na akĩgĩa na ciana ingĩ cia aanake na cia airĩtu.
12 And Arphaxad lived thirty-five years, and begot Sale.
Nake Arafakasadi aakinyia mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtatũ na ĩtano, agĩtuĩka ithe wa Shela.
13 And Arphaxad lived after he begot Sale, three hundred and three years; and begot sons and daughters.
Na thuutha wa gũtuĩka ithe wa Shela, Arafakasadi agĩtũũra muoyo mĩaka ĩngĩ magana mana na ĩtatũ, na akĩgĩa na ciana ingĩ cia aanake na cia airĩtu.
14 Sale also lived thirty years, and begot Heber.
Nake Shela aakinyia mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtatũ, agĩtuĩka ithe wa Eberi.
15 And Sale lived after he begot Heber, four hundred and three years; and begot sons and daughters.
Na thuutha wa gũtuĩka ithe wa Eberi, Shela agĩtũũra muoyo mĩaka ĩngĩ magana mana na ĩtatũ, na akĩgĩa na ciana ingĩ cia aanake na cia airĩtu.
16 And Heber lived thirty-four years, and begot Phaleg.
Nake Eberi aakinyia mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtatũ na ĩna, agĩtuĩka ithe wa Pelegu.
17 And Heber lived after he begot Phaleg, four hundred and thirty years: and begot sons and daughters.
Na thuutha wa gũtuĩka ithe wa Pelegu, Eberi agĩtũũra muoyo mĩaka ĩngĩ magana mana na mĩrongo ĩtatũ, na akĩgĩa na ciana ingĩ cia aanake na cia airĩtu.
18 Phaleg also lived thirty years, and begot Reu.
Nake Pelegu aakinyia mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtatũ, agĩtuĩka ithe wa Reu.
19 And Phaleg lived after he begot Reu, two hundred and nine years, and begot sons and daughters.
Na thuutha wa gũtuĩka ithe wa Reu, Pelegu agĩtũũra muoyo mĩaka ĩngĩ magana meerĩ na kenda na akĩgĩa na ciana ingĩ cia aanake na cia airĩtu.
20 And Reu lived thirty-two years, and begot Sarug.
Nake Reu aakinyia mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtatũ na ĩĩrĩ, agĩtuĩka ithe wa Serugu.
21 And Reu lived after he begot Sarug, two hundred and seven years, and begot sons and daughters.
Na thuutha wa gũtuĩka ithe wa Serugu, Reu agĩtũũra muoyo mĩaka ĩngĩ magana meerĩ na mũgwanja na akĩgĩa na ciana ingĩ cia aanake na cia airĩtu.
22 And Sarug lived thirty years, and begot Nachor.
Nake Serugu aakinyia mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtatũ, agĩtuĩka ithe wa Nahoru.
23 And Sarug lived after he begot Nachor, two hundred years: and begot sons and daughters.
Na thuutha wa gũtuĩka ithe wa Nahoru, Serugu agĩtũũra muoyo mĩaka ĩngĩ magana meerĩ na akĩgĩa na ciana ingĩ cia aanake na cia airĩtu.
24 And Nachor lived nine and twenty years, and begot Thare.
Nake Nahoru aakinyia mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na kenda, agĩtuĩka ithe wa Tera.
25 And Nachor lived after he begot Thare, a hundred and nineteen years: and begot sons and daughters.
Na thuutha wa gũtuĩka ithe wa Tera, Nahoru agĩtũũra muoyo mĩaka ĩngĩ igana na ikũmi na kenda, na akĩgĩa na ciana ingĩ cia aanake na cia airĩtu.
26 And Thare lived seventy years, and begot Abram, and Nachor, and Aran.
Thuutha wa Tera gũkinyia mĩaka mĩrongo mũgwanja, agĩtuĩka ithe wa Aburamu, na Nahoru na Harani.
27 And these are the generations of Thare: Thare begot Abram, Nachor, and Aran. And Aran begot Lot.
Ũyũ nĩguo ũhoro wa Tera. Tera nĩwe warĩ ithe wa Aburamu, na Nahoru na Harani. Nake Harani agĩtuĩka ithe wa Loti.
28 And Aran died before Thare his father, in the land of his nativity in Ur of the Chaldees.
Ithe wao Tera arĩ o muoyo-rĩ, Harani nĩakuire arĩ bũrũri-inĩ wa Uri-kwa-Akalidei, kũrĩa aaciarĩirwo.
29 And Abram and Nachor married wives: the name of Abram’s wife was Sarai: and the name of Nachor’s wife, Melcha, the daughter of Aran, father of Melcha, and father of Jescha.
Aburamu na Nahoru o eerĩ nĩmahikanirie. Mũtumia wa Aburamu eetagwo Sarai, nake mũtumia wa Nahoru eetagwo Milika; Milika aarĩ mwarĩ wa Harani. Harani nĩwe warĩ ithe wa Milika na Isika.
30 And Sarai was barren, and had no children.
Na rĩrĩ, Sarai aarĩ thaata; ndaarĩ na ciana.
31 And Thare took Abram, his son, and Lot the son of Aran, his son’s son, and Sarai his daughter in law, the wife of Abram his son, and brought them out of Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Chanaan: and they came as far as Haran, and dwelt there.
Nake Tera akĩoya mũriũ wake Aburamu, na Loti mũrũ wa mũrũwe Harani, na Sarai mũtumia wa mũriũ wake Aburamu; nao makiumagara hamwe moime bũrũri wa Uri-kwa-Akalidei mathiĩ Kaanani. No rĩrĩa maakinyire bũrũri wetagwo Harani, magĩtũũra kuo.
32 And the days of Thare were two hundred and five years, and he died in Haran.
Tera agĩtũũra muoyo mĩaka ĩngĩ magana meerĩ na ĩtano, na agĩkuĩra kũu Harani.
