Genesis 11
1 At that time the whole world spoke just one language and used words with the same meaning.
To, a lokacin, yaren mutanen duniya ɗaya ne, maganarsu kuma ɗaya ce.
2 As they moved east they discovered a plain in the land of Shinar so they settled there.
Yayinda mutane suke ta yin ƙaura zuwa gabas, sai suka sami fili a Shinar, suka zauna a can.
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).
Suka ce wa juna, “Ku zo, mu yi tubula, mu gasa su sosai.” Suka yi amfani da tubula a maimakon duwatsu, kwalta kuma a maimakon laka.
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.”
Sa’an nan suka ce, “Ku zo, mu gina wa kanmu birni da hasumiyar da za tă kai har sammai, domin mu yi wa kanmu suna, don kada mu warwatsu ko’ina a doron ƙasa.”
5 But the Lord came down to take a look at the city and the tower that the people were building.
Sai Ubangiji ya sauko don yă ga birni da kuma hasumiyar da mutanen suke gini.
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!
Ubangiji ya ce, “Ga su, su jama’a ɗaya ce, su duka kuwa harshensu guda ne. Wannan kuwa masomi ne kawai na abin da za su iya yi, babu kuma abin da suka yi shirya yi da ba za su iya yi ba.
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.”
Zo, mu sauka, mu rikitar da harshensu don kada su fahimci juna.”
8 The Lord sent them away from there and scattered them all over the world, and they gave up building the city.
Saboda haka Ubangiji ya watsar da su daga wurin zuwa ko’ina a doron ƙasa, suka kuwa daina gina birnin.
9 That's why it was called Babel, because the Lord made the language of the world confused.
Shi ya sa aka kira birnin Babel, domin a can ne Ubangiji ya rikitar da harshen dukan duniya. Daga can Ubangiji ya watsar da su ko’ina a doron ƙasa.

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).
