Genesis 11
1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
Zvino nyika yose yakanga ino rurimi rumwe chete nokutaura kwakafanana.
2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.
Vanhu vakati vachitamira kumabvazuva, vakawana bani romuShinari vakagaramo.
3 And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter.
Vakataurirana vakati, “Uyai, ngatiitei zvidhina tigozvipisa kwazvo.” Vakashandisa zvidhina pachinzvimbo chamabwe, uye bhitumini ikava dhaka ravo.
4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top [may reach] unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
Ipapo vakati, “Uyai, ngatizvivakirei guta neshongwe inosvika kudengadenga, kuti tizviitire mukurumbira uye kuti tirege kupararira panyika yose.”
5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
Asi Jehovha akaburuka pasi kuti azoona guta neshongwe yakanga ichivakwa navanhu.
6 And the LORD said, Behold, the people [is] one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
Jehovha akati, “Kana vanhu ava vava somunhu mumwe, vachitaura rurimi rumwe chete, vakatanga kuita izvi, zvino hapana chinhu chavanoronga kuti vachiite chichavaomera.
7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.
Uyai, ngatiburukei tindovapesanisa mutauro wavo kuti varege kunzwisisana.”
8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.
Saka Jehovha akavaparadzira pamusoro penyika yose ipapo, uye vakarega kuvaka guta.
9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
Ndokusaka nzvimbo iyo yakanzi Bhabheri, nokuti ipapo Jehovha akapesanisa mutauro wenyika yose. Kubva ipapo Jehovha akavaparadzira pamusoro penyika yose.
10 These [are] the generations of Shem: Shem [was] an hundred years old, and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood:
Iyi ndiyo rondedzero yamarudzi aShemu. Makore maviri shure kwamafashamu, Shemu paakanga ava namakore zana okuberekwa, akabereka Afakisadhi.

Ebheri akati ava namakore makumi matatu namana okuberekwa, akabereka Peregi.
17 And Eber lived after he begat Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters.
Uye shure kwokubereka kwake Peregi, Ebheri akararama kwamakore mazana mana namakumi matatu uye akazova navamwe vanakomana navanasikana.
18 And Peleg lived thirty years, and begat Reu:
Peregi akati ava namakore makumi matatu, okuberekwa akabereka Reu.
19 And Peleg lived after he begat Reu two hundred and nine years, and begat sons and daughters.
Uye shure kwokubereka kwake Reu, Peregi akararama kwamakore mazana maviri namapfumbamwe uye akazova navamwe vanakomana navanasikana.
20 And Reu lived two and thirty years, and begat Serug:

23 And Serug lived after he begat Nahor two hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.
Uye shure kwokubereka kwake Nahori, Serugi akararama kwamakore mazana maviri uye akazova navamwe vanakomana navanasikana.

25 And Nahor lived after he begat Terah an hundred and nineteen years, and begat sons and daughters.

26 And Terah lived seventy years, and begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
Shure kwokunge Nahori ava namakore makumi manomwe okuberekwa, akabereka Abhurama, Nahori naHarani.
27 Now these [are] the generations of Terah: Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot.
Iyi ndiyo rondedzero yavana vaTera. Tera akabereka Abhurama, Nahori naHarani. Uye Harani akabereka Roti.
28 And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees.
Baba vake Tera vachiri vapenyu Harani akafira muUri ravaKaradhea, munyika yaakaberekerwa,
29 And Abram and Nahor took them wives: the name of Abram’s wife [was] Sarai; and the name of Nahor’s wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah.
vose vari vaviri Abhurama naNahori vakawana. Zita romukadzi waAbhurama rainzi Sarai, uye zita romukadzi waNahori rainzi Mirika; akanga ari mwanasikana waHarani, baba vaMirika naIsika.
30 But Sarai was barren; she [had] no child.
Zvino Sarai akanga asingabereki; akanga asina vana.
31 And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran his son’s son, and Sarai his daughter in law, his son Abram’s wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Haran, and dwelt there.
Tera akatora mwanakomana wake Abhurama, muzukuru wake Roti, mwanakomana waHarani, nomuroora wake Sarai, mukadzi womwanakomana wake Abhurama, uye vakaenda kuUri yavaKaradhea pamwe chete kuti vaende kuKenani. Asi vakati vasvika paHarani, vakagara ipapo.
32 And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years: and Terah died in Haran.
Tera akararama kwamakore mazana maviri namashanu, uye akafira paHarani.
