Genesis 11
1 Then the whole earth was of one language and one speache.
Na kotahi tonu te reo o te whenua katoa, rite tonu ano nga korero.
2 And as they went from the East, they found a plaine in the land of Shinar, and there they abode.
A, i a ratou e haere ana whaka te rawhiti, na ka kite ratou i tetahi mania i te whenua o Hinara; a noho ana ratou i reira.
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.
Na ka mea ratou ki tona hoa, ki tona hoa, Tena, tatou ka hanga pereki, me ata tahu marire ano hoki. Na ka meinga e ratou he pereki hei kohatu, he uku hoki ta ratou moata.
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.
Na ka mea ratou, Tena, tatou ka hanga i tetahi pa me tetahi pourewa, a kia tutuki a runga ki te rangi, kia whai ingoa ai tatou; kei marara noa atu tatou ki te mata o te whenua katoa.
5 But the Lord came downe, to see the citie and towre, which the sonnes of men builded.
Na ka heke iho a Ihowa kia kite i te pa me te pourewa, i hanga nei e nga tama a te tangata.
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.
A ka mea a Ihowa, Nana, kotahi tonu te iwi nei, kotahi ano hoki to ratou reo; a ka timataia nei tenei mahi e ratou: e kore ano ratou e taea te pupuri mai i tetahi mea, e whakaaro ana ratou kia mahia.
7 Come on, let vs goe downe, and there confound their language, that euery one perceiue not anothers speache.
Tena, tatou ka heke atu, ka whakapoauau i o ratou reo i reira, kia kore ai ratou e matau, ia tangata, ia tangata ki te reo o tona hoa.
8 So ye Lord scattered them from thence vpon all the earth, and they left off to build the citie.
Na whakamararatia atu ana ratou i reira e Ihowa ki runga ki te mata o te whenua katoa: a mahue ake i a ratou te hanga i te pa.
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.
Na kona i huaina ai to reira ingoa ko Papera; no te mea i whakapoauautia e Ihowa i reira te reo o te whenua katoa: no reira ano hoki te whakamararatanga a Ihowa i a ratou ki te mata o te whenua katoa.
10 These are the generations of Shem: Shem was an hundreth yeere olde, and begate Arpachshad two yeere after the flood.
Ko nga whakatupuranga enei o Hema: ka kotahi rau nga tau o Hema, na ka whanau a Arapahata i te rua o nga tau i muri i te waipuke:
11 And Shem liued, after he begate Arpachshad, fiue hundreth yeeres, and begate sonnes and daughters.
A e rima rau nga tau i ora ai a Hema i muri i te whanautanga o Arapahata, a ka whanau ana tama me ana tamahine.
12 Also Arpachshad liued fiue and thirtie yeeres, and begate Shelah.
A ka toru tekau ma rima nga tau i ora ai a Arapahata, na ka whanau a Haraha:
13 And Arpachshad liued, after he begate Shelah, foure hundreth and three yeeres, and begate sonnes and daughters.
A e wha rau e toru nga tau i ora ai a Arapahata i muri i te whanautanga o Haraha, ka whanau ana tama me ana tamahine.
14 And Shelah liued thirtie yeeres, and begat Eber.
A ka toru tekau nga tau i ora ai a Haraha, na ka whanau a Epere:
15 So Shelah liued, after he begat Eber, foure hundreth and three yeeres, and begat sonnes and daughters.
A e wha rau e toru nga tau o Haraha i muri i te whanautanga o Epere, ka whanau ana tama me ana tamahine.
16 Likewise Eber liued foure and thirtie yeres, and begate Peleg.
A e toru tekau ma wha nga tau i ora ai a Epere, ka whanau a Pereke:
17 So Eber liued, after he begate Peleg, foure hundreth and thirtie yeeres, and begate sonnes and daughters
E wha rau e toru tekau nga tau i ora ai a Epere i muri i te whanautanga o Pereke, a ka whanau ana tama me ana tamahine.
18 And Peleg liued thirtie yeeres, and begate Reu.
A ka toru tekau nga tau o Pereke, ka whanau a Reu:
19 And Peleg liued, after he begate Reu, two hundreth and nine yeeres, and begate sonnes and daughters.
A e rua rau e iwa nga tau i ora ai a Pereke i muri i te whanautanga o Reu, ka whanau ana tama me ana tamahine.
20 Also Reu liued two and thirtie yeeres, and begate Serug.
A ka toru tekau ma rua nga tau o Reu, na ka whanau a Heruka:
21 So Reu liued, after he begate Serug, two hundreth and seuen yeeres, and begate sonnes and daughters.
A e rua rau ma whitu nga tau i ora ai a Reu i muri i te whanautanga o Heruka, ka whanau ana tama me ana tamahine.
22 Moreouer Serug liued thirtie yeeres, and begate Nahor.
A ka toru tekau nga tau o Heruka, na ka whanau a Nahora:
23 And Serug liued, after he begate Nahor, two hundreth yeeres, and begate sonnes and daughters.
A e rua rau nga tau i ora ai a Heruka i muri i te whanautanga o Nahora, ka whanau ana tama me ana tamahine.
24 And Nahor liued nine and twentie yeeres, and begate Terah.
A e rua tekau ma iwa nga tau i ora ai a Nahora, na ka whanau a Teraha:
25 So Nahor liued, after he begate Terah, an hundreth and nineteene yeeres, and begat sonnes and daughters.
A kotahi rau kotahi tekau ma iwa nga tau i ora ai a Nahora i muri i te whanautanga o Teraha, a ka whanau ana tama me ana tamahine.
26 So Terah liued seuentie yeeres, and begate Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
A ka whitu tekau nga tau i ora ai a Teraha, na ka whanau a Aperama, a Nahora, ratou ko Harana.
27 Nowe these are the generations of Terah: Terah begate Abram, Nahor, and Haran: and Haran begate Lot.
Na, ko nga whakatupuranga enei o Teraha: na Teraha ko Aperama, ko Nahora, ratou ko Harana; na Harana ko Rota.
28 Then Haran died before Terah his father in the land of his natiuitie, in Vr of the Caldees.
A i mate a Harana i te oranga ano o tona papa o Teraha i te whenua i whanau ai ia, i Uru o nga Karari.
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.
Na ka tango a Aperama raua ko Nahora i etahi wahine ma raua: ko te ingoa o te wahine a Aperama ko Harai, ko te ingoa o te wahine a Nahora ko Mireka tamahine a Harana, papa o Mireka, papa ano hoki o Iheka.
30 But Sarai was barren, and had no childe.
A he pakoko a Harai; kahore ana tamariki.
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.
Na ka tango a Teraha i a Aperama i tana tama, raua ko Rota tama a Harana, ko te tama a tana tama, ratou ko tana hunaonga, ko Harai wahine a tana tama a Aperama; a whakatika tahi ana ratou i Uru o nga Karari, haere ana ki te whenua o Kanaana; na ka tae ki Harana, a noho ana i reira.
32 So the dayes of Terah were two hundreth and fiue yeeres, and Terah died in Haran.
A ko nga ra o Teraha e rua rau ma rima tau: na ka mate a Teraha ki Harana.
