Genesis 11
1 At that time the whole world spoke just one language and used words with the same meaning.
Amo esoga, osobo bagade dunu fi da sia: hisu hisu hame galu. Ilia huluane da sia: afadafa fawane galu.
2 As they moved east they discovered a plain in the land of Shinar so they settled there.
Dunu fi huluane da eso maba gusudili ahoanu, umi soge ea dio amo Ba: bilone ba: i. Amo ganodini ilia fi dialu.
3 They said to one another, “Come on, let's make some bricks and bake them with fire.” (They used brick instead of stone, and tar instead of cement).
Ilia da amane gilisili sia: dasu, “Defea! Ninia osobo ganumugini, gobele, igi agoai ‘baligi’ hamone, diasu gagumu.’ Amola amo liligi ‘baligi’ ilia da edele amoga madelagisu.
4 Then they said, “Now let's build a city for ourselves with a tower whose top reaches the heavens. That way we'll gain a great reputation and we won't end up being scattered all over the world.”
Amalalu, ilia da amane sia: i, “Ninia moilai bai bagade hamomu. Amo ganodini ninia da diasu sedade gagagula heda: i amo da Hebene amoga doaga: mu liligi gagumu. Ninia dio bagade hamomu. Ninia fi da osobo bagade soge huluane amoga afafasa: besa: le agoane hamomu.
5 But the Lord came down to take a look at the city and the tower that the people were building.
Be Hina Gode da moilai bai bagade amola diasu gado gagagula heda: i amo dunu da hamonanu, amo ba: la gudu sa: i.
6 The Lord said, “Look! These people are united and they all speak one language. If this is what they can do now when they're just getting started, nothing will be impossible for them when they all put their minds to it!
E amane sia: i, “Ilia da fi afadafa amola sia: afadafa gala. Amo ilia da muni hamobeba: le, hobea huluane ilia hanaiga hamomusa: dawa: mu.
7 We need to go down and mix up their language and make it confused so they won't be able to understand what they're saying to one other.”
Defea! Ninia da gudu sa: ili, ilia sia: ededenagia: mu. Amasea, ilia sia: hisu hisu amoga sia: sea, nabimu gogolemu.”
8 The Lord sent them away from there and scattered them all over the world, and they gave up building the city.
Amaiba: le, Gode da dunu fi afagogole, osobo bagade dedeboma: ne asunasi. Ilia amo diasu gagagula heda: i gagumu yolesi dagoi.
9 That's why it was called Babel, because the Lord made the language of the world confused.
Amaiba: le, amo diasu ilia da Ba: ibele dio asuli. Bai amoga Hina Gode da ilia sia: hisu hisu hamoi, amola ili afagogole, osobo bagade soge huluane fima: ne asunasi.
10 The following is the genealogy of Shem. When Shem was 100, he had Arphaxad. This was two years after the flood.
Sieme ea mano da hagudu dedei. Hano bagade da yolesili, ode aduna asili, Sieme da ode 100 esalu, ea dunu mano amo Aba: sa: de da lalelegei.
11 Shem lived another 500 years after Arphaxad was born and had other sons and daughters.
Amalalu, Sieme da ode 500 eno esalu. Amoga e da manolali eno lalelelegei.
12 When Arphaxad was 35, he had Shelah.
Aba: sa: de da ode 35 esalu, dunu mano amo ea dio Sila amo lai.

16 When Eber was 34, he had Peleg.
Ibe da ode 34 esalu, dunu mano amo ea dio Bilege lai.
17 Eber lived another 430 years after Peleg was born and had other sons and daughters.

18 When Peleg was 30, he had Reu.
Bilege da ode 30 esalu, dunu mano ea dio amo Liu lai.
19 Peleg lived another 209 years after Reu was born and had other sons and daughters.
Bilege da Liu lai amalu ode 209 eno esalu. Amoga e da egefelali eno lalelelegei amola uda manolali eno lalelelegei.
20 When Reu was 32, he had Serug.
Liu da ode 32 esalu, dunu mano ea dio amo Silage lai.
21 Reu lived another 207 years after Serug was born and had other sons and daughters.

22 When Serug was 30, he had Nahor.
Silage da ode 30 esalu, dunu mano ea dio amo Na: iho lai.
23 Serug lived another 200 years after Nahor was born and had other sons and daughters.
Silage da Na: iho lai amalu fa: no e da ode 200 eno esalu. Amoga e da dunu manolali eno lalelelegei amola uda manolali eno lalelelegei.
24 When Nahor was 29, he had Terah.
Na: iho da ode 29 esalu, dunu mano ea dio amo Dila lai.
25 Nahor lived another 119 years after Terah was born and had other sons and daughters.
E da Dila lai amalu fa: no ode 119 esalu. Amoga, e da dunu manolali eno lalelelegei amola uda manolali eno lalelelegei.
26 When Terah was 70, he had Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
Dila da ode 70 esalu, dunu mano udiana lai amo A: ibala: me, Na: iho amola Ha: ila: ne.
27 The following is the genealogy of Terah. Terah was the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran. Haran was the father of Lot.
Dila egaga fi da agoane. Ea mano da A: ibala: me, Na: iho amola Halane. Halane ea mano da Lode.
28 However, Haran died while his father, Terah, was still alive, in Ur of the Chaldeans, the land of his birth.
Halane da ea moilaidafa (moilai dio da E, Ba: bilone soge ganodini dialu) amoga bogoi. E bogoloba, ea ada Dila da esalebe ba: i.
29 Abram and Nahor both got married. Abram's wife was named Sarai, and Nahor's wife was named Milcah. (She was the daughter of Haran, who was the father of both Milcah and Iscah).
A: ibala: me da Selai lai amola Na: iho da Miliga lai. Miliga ea ada da Halane. Halane idiwi eno da Isiga.
30 Sarai wasn't able to become pregnant and so had no children.
Selai da aligime esalu. Mano lamu hamedei ba: i.
31 Terah took his son Abram, his grandson Lot, (who was the son of Haran), his daughter-in-law Sarai, (the wife of his son Abram), and left Ur of the Chaldeans to move to the land of Canaan. They got as far as Haran and settled there.
Dila da egefe A: ibala: me, eaowa Lode (Halane ea mano) amola ea nawi Selai (A: ibala: me idua) amo oule asili, Ba: bilone soge moilai amo E yolesili, Ga: ina: ne sogega doaga: musa: asi. Be ilia da Halane sogega doaga: le, fi galu.
32 Terah lived for 205 years and died in Haran.
Dila da amogawi bogoi. Ea esalu ode idi da 205 ba: i.
