< Genesis 11 >

1 Then the whole earth was of one language and one speache.
Ensi yonna yalina olulimi lumu, nga bakozesa ebigambo bye bimu.
2 And as they went from the East, they found a plaine in the land of Shinar, and there they abode.
Abantu bwe baava oluuyi olw’ebuvanjuba ne batuuka mu lusenyi nsi ya Sinaali ne babeera omwo.
3 And they said one to another, Come, let vs make bricke, and burne it in the fire. So they had bricke for stone, and slime had they in steade of morter.
Ne bateesa nti, “Mujje tukole amatoffaali, tugookye bulungi.” Ne baba n’amatoffaali mu kifo ky’amayinja, ne kolaasi mu kifo ky’ettosi.
4 Also they said, Goe to, let vs builde vs a citie and a towre, whose top may reache vnto the heauen, that we may get vs a name, lest we be scattered vpon the whole earth.
Awo ne bagamba nti, “Mujje twezimbire ekibuga, tutuuse omunaala gwakyo ku ggulu; twekolere erinnya, tuleme okusaasaanyizibwa okubuna ensi yonna.”
5 But the Lord came downe, to see the citie and towre, which the sonnes of men builded.
Naye Mukama nakka okulaba ekibuga n’omunaala, abaana b’abantu kye baali bazimba.
6 And the Lord said, Beholde, the people is one, and they all haue one language, and this they begin to doe, neither can they now be stopped from whatsoeuer they haue imagined to do.
Mukama n’ayogera nti, “Laba, bali omuntu omu, era boogera olulimi lumu! Era eno ntandikwa butandikwa ey’ebyo bye banaakola; era tewali kye banaateesa kukola ekinaabalemerera.
7 Come on, let vs goe downe, and there confound their language, that euery one perceiue not anothers speache.
Mujje, tukke wansi tutabuletabule olulimi lwabwe, baleme kutegeeragana.”
8 So ye Lord scattered them from thence vpon all the earth, and they left off to build the citie.
Bw’atyo Mukama n’abasaasaanya ne babuna ensi yonna, n’ekibuga kyabwe ne batakimaliriza.
9 Therefore the name of it was called Babel, because the Lord did there confounde the language of all the earth: from thence then did the Lord scatter them vpon all the earth.
Ekibuga ekyo erinnya lyakyo kye lyava liyitibwa Babiri, kubanga eyo Mukama gye yatabuliratabulira olulimi lw’ensi yonna. Eyo Mukama gye yabasaasaanyiza okubuna ensi yonna.
10 These are the generations of Shem: Shem was an hundreth yeere olde, and begate Arpachshad two yeere after the flood.
Bino bye bifa ku b’olulyo lwa Seemu: Seemu bwe yali ng’aweza emyaka kikumi, n’azaala Alupakusaadi nga wakayita emyaka ebiri okuva ku mataba.
11 And Shem liued, after he begate Arpachshad, fiue hundreth yeeres, and begate sonnes and daughters.
Seemu n’amala emyaka ebikumi bitaano nga Alupakusaadi amaze okusaalibwa. N’azaaliramu abaana aboobulenzi n’aboobuwala.
12 Also Arpachshad liued fiue and thirtie yeeres, and begate Shelah.
Alupakusaadi bwe yaweza emyaka asatu mu etaano n’azaala Seera,
13 And Arpachshad liued, after he begate Shelah, foure hundreth and three yeeres, and begate sonnes and daughters.
Alupakusaadi bwe yamala okuzaala Seera n’awangaala emyaka emirala ebikumi bina mu esatu, omwo n’azaaliramu abaana aboobulenzi n’aboobuwala.
14 And Shelah liued thirtie yeeres, and begat Eber.
Seera bwe yaweza emyaka amakumi asatu n’azaala Eberi,
15 So Shelah liued, after he begat Eber, foure hundreth and three yeeres, and begat sonnes and daughters.
ate Seera n’aweza emyaka emirala ebikumi bina mu asatu ng’amaze okuzaala Eberi, era omwo n’azaaliramu abaana abalala aboobulenzi n’aboobuwala.
16 Likewise Eber liued foure and thirtie yeres, and begate Peleg.
Eberi bwe yaweza emyaka amakumi asatu mu ena n’azaala Peregi.
17 So Eber liued, after he begate Peleg, foure hundreth and thirtie yeeres, and begate sonnes and daughters
Eberi bwe yamala okuzaala Peregi n’awangaala emyaka ebikumi bina mu amakumi asatu, omwo n’azaaliramu abaana abalala aboobulenzi n’aboobuwala.
18 And Peleg liued thirtie yeeres, and begate Reu.
Peregi bwe yaweza emyaka amakumi asatu n’azaala Leewo,
19 And Peleg liued, after he begate Reu, two hundreth and nine yeeres, and begate sonnes and daughters.
bwe yamala okuzaala Leewo n’awangaala emyaka emirala ebikumi bibiri mu mwenda, n’azaaliramu abaana aboobulenzi n’aboobuwala.
20 Also Reu liued two and thirtie yeeres, and begate Serug.
Leewo bwe yaweza emyaka amakumi asatu mu ebiri n’azaala Serugi.
21 So Reu liued, after he begate Serug, two hundreth and seuen yeeres, and begate sonnes and daughters.
N’awangaala emyaka emirala ebikumi bibiri mu musanvu. Omwo n’azaaliramu abaana aboobulenzi n’aboobuwala.
22 Moreouer Serug liued thirtie yeeres, and begate Nahor.
Serugi bwe yaweza emyaka amakumi asatu n’azaala Nakoli,
23 And Serug liued, after he begate Nahor, two hundreth yeeres, and begate sonnes and daughters.
bwe yamala okuzaala Nakoli n’awangaala emyaka emirala ebikumi bibiri. Omwo n’azaaliramu abaana aboobulenzi n’aboobuwala.
24 And Nahor liued nine and twentie yeeres, and begate Terah.
Nakoli bwe yaweza emyaka amakumi abiri mu mwenda n’azaala Teera.
25 So Nahor liued, after he begate Terah, an hundreth and nineteene yeeres, and begat sonnes and daughters.
Bwe yamala okuzaala Teera n’awangaala emyaka emirala kikumi mu kkumi na mwenda, era omwo n’azaaliramu abaana aboobulenzi n’aboobuwala.
26 So Terah liued seuentie yeeres, and begate Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
Teera bwe yaweza emyaka nsanvu, n’azaala Ibulaamu, ne Nakoli ne Kalani.
27 Nowe these are the generations of Terah: Terah begate Abram, Nahor, and Haran: and Haran begate Lot.
Bino bye bifa ku b’olulyo lwa Teera: Teera ye kitaawe wa Ibulaamu, ne Nakoli ne Kalani; Kalani ye yali kitaawe wa Lutti.
28 Then Haran died before Terah his father in the land of his natiuitie, in Vr of the Caldees.
Kalani yafa nga kitaawe Teera tannafa. Yafiira mu Uli ey’Abakaludaaya mwe yazaalirwa.
29 So Abram and Nahor tooke them wiues. The name of Abrams wife was Sarai, and the name of Nahors wife Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah.
Ibulaamu ne Nakoli ne bawasa; erinnya lya mukazi wa Ibulaamu lyali Salaayi, ate mukazi wa Nakoli nga ye Mirika, muwala wa Kalani, kitaawe wa Mirika ne Isika.
30 But Sarai was barren, and had no childe.
Salaayi yali mugumba, teyalina mwana.
31 Then Terah tooke Abram his sonne, and Lot the sonne of Haran, his sonnes sonne, and Sarai his daughter in lawe, his sonne Abrams wife: and they departed together from Vr of the Caldees, to goe into the land of Canaan, and they came to Haran, and dwelt there.
Teera n’atwala Ibulaamu mutabani we Lutti muzzukulu we mutabani wa Kalani, ne Salaayi muka mutabani we Ibulaamu, ne bagenda bonna okuva mu Uli eky’Abakaludaaya okugenda mu nsi ya Kalani; bwe baatuuka mu Kalani, ne babeera omwo.
32 So the dayes of Terah were two hundreth and fiue yeeres, and Terah died in Haran.
Emyaka gya Teera gyali ebikumi bibiri mu etaano; Teera n’afiira mu Kalani.
