Genesis 11
1 Then the whole earth was of one language and one speache.
Bere bi, na nnipa a wɔwɔ asase so nyinaa ka kasa koro.
2 And as they went from the East, they found a plaine in the land of Shinar, and there they abode.
Saa nnipa yi tu baa apuei fam no, wɔbɛtoo asase tamaa wɔ Babilonia asase so, na wɔtenaa hɔ.
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.
Wosisee wɔn ho wɔn ho se, “Momma yentwa ntayaa na yɛnto mma ɛmmen yiye.” Na wɔde ntayaa ne ama na esi adan.
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 wɔkae bio se, “Momma yɛnkyekye kurow kɛse, na yensi abantenten a ne sorɔnsorɔmmea du ɔsorosoro wɔ kurow no mu, na yennye din, na yɛanhwete wɔ asase so.”
5 But the Lord came downe, to see the citie and towre, which the sonnes of men builded.
Awurade sian fii ɔsoro baa fam, behuu kurow kɛse a wɔrekyekyere no ne abantenten a wɔresi no.
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.
Awurade kae se, “Sɛ nnipa koro a wɔka kasa baako afi ase redi saa dwuma yi a, ɛno de biribiara a wɔbɔ wɔn tirim sɛ wɔbɛyɛ no renyɛ wɔn den.
7 Come on, let vs goe downe, and there confound their language, that euery one perceiue not anothers speache.
Mommra na yɛnkɔ asase so, na yɛnkɔtoto wɔn kasa, na obiara nnya ne kasa, sɛnea obiara nte ne yɔnko kasa.”
8 So ye Lord scattered them from thence vpon all the earth, and they left off to build the citie.
Ɛnam eyi so maa Awurade hwetee nnipa no nyinaa mu ma wɔpetee asase so nyinaa, maa wogyaee kurow kɛse no kyekyere.
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.
Ɛno nti na wɔfrɛɛ kurow kɛse no Babel, efisɛ, ɛhɔ na Awurade totoo kasa baako a na wɔka wɔ wiase nyinaa saa bere no, maa wɔn kasa ahorow. Efi hɔ na Awurade hwetee nnipa no nyinaa mu ma wɔpetee asase so nyinaa.
10 These are the generations of Shem: Shem was an hundreth yeere olde, and begate Arpachshad two yeere after the flood.
Eyi ne Sem asefo ho asɛm. Nsuyiri no akyi, mfe abien no a na Sem adi mfe ɔha no, ɔwoo Arfaksad.
11 And Shem liued, after he begate Arpachshad, fiue hundreth yeeres, and begate sonnes and daughters.
Sem woo Arfaksad akyi no ɔtenaa ase mfe ahannum, wowoo mmabarima ne mmabea bi nso kaa ho.
12 Also Arpachshad liued fiue and thirtie yeeres, and begate Shelah.
Arfaksad nso dii mfe aduasa anum no, ɔwoo Sela.
13 And Arpachshad liued, after he begate Shelah, foure hundreth and three yeeres, and begate sonnes and daughters.
Arfaksad woo Sela akyi no ɔtenaa ase mfe ahannan ne abiɛsa, wowoo mmabarima ne mmabea bi nso kaa ho.
14 And Shelah liued thirtie yeeres, and begat Eber.
Sela dii mfe aduasa no, ɔwoo Eber.
15 So Shelah liued, after he begat Eber, foure hundreth and three yeeres, and begat sonnes and daughters.
Sela woo Eber akyi no ɔtenaa ase mfe ahannan ne abiɛsa, wowoo mmabarima ne mmabea bi nso kaa ho.
16 Likewise Eber liued foure and thirtie yeres, and begate Peleg.
Eber dii mfe aduasa anan no, ɔwoo Peleg.
17 So Eber liued, after he begate Peleg, foure hundreth and thirtie yeeres, and begate sonnes and daughters
Eber woo Peleg akyi no ɔtenaa ase mfe ahannan ne aduasa, wowoo mmabarima ne mmabea bi nso kaa ho.
18 And Peleg liued thirtie yeeres, and begate Reu.
Peleg dii mfe aduasa no, ɔwoo Reu.
19 And Peleg liued, after he begate Reu, two hundreth and nine yeeres, and begate sonnes and daughters.
Peleg woo Reu akyi no ɔtenaa ase mfe ahannu ne akron, wowoo mmabarima ne mmabea bi nso kaa ho.
20 Also Reu liued two and thirtie yeeres, and begate Serug.
Reu dii mfe aduasa abien no, ɔwoo Serug.
21 So Reu liued, after he begate Serug, two hundreth and seuen yeeres, and begate sonnes and daughters.
Reu woo Serug akyi no ɔtenaa ase mfe ahannu ne ason, wowoo mmabarima ne mmabea bi nso kaa ho.
22 Moreouer Serug liued thirtie yeeres, and begate Nahor.
Serug dii mfe aduasa no, ɔwoo Nahor.
23 And Serug liued, after he begate Nahor, two hundreth yeeres, and begate sonnes and daughters.
Serug woo Nahor akyi no ɔtenaa ase mfe ahannu wowoo mmabarima ne mmabea bi nso kaa ho.
24 And Nahor liued nine and twentie yeeres, and begate Terah.
Nahor dii mfe aduonu akron no, ɔwoo Tera.
25 So Nahor liued, after he begate Terah, an hundreth and nineteene yeeres, and begat sonnes and daughters.
Nahor woo Tera akyi no ɔtenaa ase mfe ɔha ne dunkron, wowoo mmabarima ne mmabea bi nso kaa ho.
26 So Terah liued seuentie yeeres, and begate Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
Tera dii mfe aduɔson no, ɔwoo Abram, Nahor ne Haran.
27 Nowe these are the generations of Terah: Terah begate Abram, Nahor, and Haran: and Haran begate Lot.
Eyi ne Tera asefo ho asɛm. Tera woo Abram, Nahor ne Haran. Na Haran woo Lot.
28 Then Haran died before Terah his father in the land of his natiuitie, in Vr of the Caldees.
Bere a Haran agya Tera te ase no, Haran wuu wɔ faako a wɔwoo no a wɔfrɛ hɔ Ur, a ɛwɔ Kaldea asase so no.
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.
Abram ne Nahor warewaree. Na Abram yere din de Sarai, na Nahor nso yere din de Milka a na ɔyɛ Haran babea. Saa Haran yi na ɔwoo Milka ne Iska.
30 But Sarai was barren, and had no childe.
Na Sarai yɛ obonin; na onni ba.
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.
Tera faa ne babarima Abram ne ne nena Lot, a ɔyɛ Haran babarima ne nʼasebea Sarai, a na ɔyɛ ne babarima Abram yere no, ne wɔn nyinaa sii mu fii Ur a ɛwɔ Kaldea asase so sɛ wɔrekɔ Kanaan asase so. Na woduu Haran no, wɔtenaa hɔ.
32 So the dayes of Terah were two hundreth and fiue yeeres, and Terah died in Haran.
Tera dii mfe ahannu ne anum, na owui wɔ Haran.
