Genesis 11
1 And all the earth was one lip, and there was one language to all.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo ya tene-rĩ, andũ othe a thĩ maarĩ na rũthiomi rũmwe na mwario o ũmwe.
2 And it came to pass as they moved from the east, they found a plain in the land of Senaar, and they lived there.
Na rĩrĩa andũ maathiiaga na mwena wa irathĩro, magĩkinya werũ-inĩ ũrĩa mwaraganu wa Shinaru, na magĩtũũra kuo.
3 And a man said to his neighbor, Come, let us make bricks and bake them with fire. And the brick was to them for stone, and their mortar was bitumen.
Nao makĩĩrana atĩrĩ, “Ũkai tũũmbe maturubarĩ na tũmacine wega.” Magĩtũmĩra maturubarĩ handũ ha mahiga, na rami handũ ha thimiti.
4 And they said, Come, let us build to ourselves a city and tower, whose top shall be to heaven, and let us make to ourselves a name, before we are scattered abroad upon the face of all the earth.
Ningĩ magĩcooka makiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũkai, rekei twĩyakĩre itũũra inene, rĩna mũthiringo mũraaya na igũrũ, ũkinye o matu-inĩ, nĩgeetha twĩgĩĩre igweta, na nĩguo tũtikaanahurunjwo thĩ yothe.”
5 And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the sons of men built.
No rĩrĩ, Jehova agĩikũrũka oke one itũũra rĩu na mũthiringo ũcio andũ acio maakaga.
6 And the Lord said, Behold, [there is] one race, and one lip of all, and they have begun to do this, and now nothing shall fail from them of all that they may have undertaken to do.
Jehova akiuga atĩrĩ na ngoro yake, “Angĩkorwo na ũndũ wa ũrũmwe wa kwaria rũthiomi rũmwe andũ aya nĩmambĩrĩria gwĩka ũũ-rĩ, gũtirĩ ũndũ makaabanga gwĩka ũkaamarema.
7 Come, and having gone down let us there confound their tongue, that they may not understand each the voice of his neighbor.
Ũkai, tũikũrũke tũkahĩngĩcanie rũthiomi rwao, nĩgeetha matigacooke kũiguithania mĩario mũndũ na ũrĩa ũngĩ.”
8 And the Lord scattered them thence over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city and the tower.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, kuuma hau Jehova akĩmahurunja thĩ yothe, nao magĩtiga gwaka itũũra rĩu inene.
9 On this account its name was called Confusion, because there the Lord confounded the languages of all the earth, and thence the Lord scattered them upon the face of all the earth.
Na nĩkĩo itũũra rĩu rĩetirwo Babeli, tondũ nĩkuo Jehova aahĩngĩcanĩirie rũthiomi rwa andũ a thĩ yothe. Kuuma kũu, Jehova akĩmahurunja thĩ yothe.
10 And these [are] the generations of Sem: and Sem was a hundred years old when he begot Arphaxad, the second year after the flood.
Ũyũ nĩguo ũhoro wa Shemu. Mĩaka ĩĩrĩ thuutha wa mũiyũro wa maaĩ-rĩ, rĩrĩa Shemu aarĩ na ũkũrũ wa mĩaka igana rĩmwe-rĩ, nĩguo aatuĩkire ithe wa Arafakasadi.
11 And Sem lived, after he had begotten Arphaxad, five hundred years, and begot sons and daughters, and died.
Shemu aatũũrire muoyo mĩaka magana matano thuutha wa gũtuĩka ithe wa Arafakasadi, na akĩgĩa na ciana ingĩ cia aanake na cia airĩtu.
12 And Arphaxad lived a hundred and thirty-five years, and begot Cainan.
Nake Arafakasadi aakinyia mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtatũ na ĩtano, agĩtuĩka ithe wa Shela.
13 And Arphaxad lived after he had begotten Cainan, four hundred years, and begot sons and daughters, and died. And Cainan lived a hundred and thirty years and begot Sala; and Canaan lived after he had begotten Sala, three hundred and thirty years, and begot sons and daughters, and died.
Na thuutha wa gũtuĩka ithe wa Shela, Arafakasadi agĩtũũra muoyo mĩaka ĩngĩ magana mana na ĩtatũ, na akĩgĩa na ciana ingĩ cia aanake na cia airĩtu.

Nake Shela aakinyia mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtatũ, agĩtuĩka ithe wa Eberi.
15 And Sala lived after he had begotten Heber, three hundred and thirty years, and begot sons and daughters, and died.
Na thuutha wa gũtuĩka ithe wa Eberi, Shela agĩtũũra muoyo mĩaka ĩngĩ magana mana na ĩtatũ, na akĩgĩa na ciana ingĩ cia aanake na cia airĩtu.
16 And Heber lived an hundred and thirty-four years, and begot Phaleg.
Nake Eberi aakinyia mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtatũ na ĩna, agĩtuĩka ithe wa Pelegu.
17 And Heber lived after he had begotten Phaleg two hundred and seventy years, and begot sons and daughters, and died.
Na thuutha wa gũtuĩka ithe wa Pelegu, Eberi agĩtũũra muoyo mĩaka ĩngĩ magana mana na mĩrongo ĩtatũ, na akĩgĩa na ciana ingĩ cia aanake na cia airĩtu.
18 And Phaleg lived and hundred and thirty years, and begot Ragau.
Nake Pelegu aakinyia mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtatũ, agĩtuĩka ithe wa Reu.
19 And Phaleg lived after he had begotten Ragau, two hundred and nine years, and begot sons and daughters, and died.
Na thuutha wa gũtuĩka ithe wa Reu, Pelegu agĩtũũra muoyo mĩaka ĩngĩ magana meerĩ na kenda na akĩgĩa na ciana ingĩ cia aanake na cia airĩtu.
20 And Ragau lived and hundred thirty and two years, and begot Seruch.
Nake Reu aakinyia mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtatũ na ĩĩrĩ, agĩtuĩka ithe wa Serugu.
21 And Raau lived after he had begotten Seruch, two hundred and seven years, and begot sons and daughters, and died.
Na thuutha wa gũtuĩka ithe wa Serugu, Reu agĩtũũra muoyo mĩaka ĩngĩ magana meerĩ na mũgwanja na akĩgĩa na ciana ingĩ cia aanake na cia airĩtu.
22 And Seruch lived a hundred and thirty years, and begot Nachor.
Nake Serugu aakinyia mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtatũ, agĩtuĩka ithe wa Nahoru.
23 And Seruch lived after he had begotten Nachor, two hundred years, and begot sons and daughters, and died.
Na thuutha wa gũtuĩka ithe wa Nahoru, Serugu agĩtũũra muoyo mĩaka ĩngĩ magana meerĩ na akĩgĩa na ciana ingĩ cia aanake na cia airĩtu.
24 And Nachor lived a hundred and seventy-nine years, and begot Tharrha.
Nake Nahoru aakinyia mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na kenda, agĩtuĩka ithe wa Tera.
25 And Nachor lived after he had begotten Tharrha, an hundred and twenty-five years, and begot sons and daughters, and he died.
Na thuutha wa gũtuĩka ithe wa Tera, Nahoru agĩtũũra muoyo mĩaka ĩngĩ igana na ikũmi na kenda, na akĩgĩa na ciana ingĩ cia aanake na cia airĩtu.
26 And Tharrha lived seventy years, and begot Abram, and Nachor, and Arrhan.
Thuutha wa Tera gũkinyia mĩaka mĩrongo mũgwanja, agĩtuĩka ithe wa Aburamu, na Nahoru na Harani.
27 And these [are] the generations of Tharrha. Tharrha begot Abram and Nachor, and Arrhan; and Arrhan begot Lot.
Ũyũ nĩguo ũhoro wa Tera. Tera nĩwe warĩ ithe wa Aburamu, na Nahoru na Harani. Nake Harani agĩtuĩka ithe wa Loti.
28 And Arrhan died in the presence of Tharrha his father, in the land in which he was born, in the country of the Chaldees.
Ithe wao Tera arĩ o muoyo-rĩ, Harani nĩakuire arĩ bũrũri-inĩ wa Uri-kwa-Akalidei, kũrĩa aaciarĩirwo.
29 And Abram and Nachor took to themselves wives, the name of the wife of Abram was Sara, and the name of the wife of Nachor, Malcha, daughter of Arrhan, and he was the father of Malcha, the father of Jescha.
Aburamu na Nahoru o eerĩ nĩmahikanirie. Mũtumia wa Aburamu eetagwo Sarai, nake mũtumia wa Nahoru eetagwo Milika; Milika aarĩ mwarĩ wa Harani. Harani nĩwe warĩ ithe wa Milika na Isika.
30 And Sara was barren, and did not bear children.
Na rĩrĩ, Sarai aarĩ thaata; ndaarĩ na ciana.
31 And Tharrha took Abram his son, and Lot the son Arrhan, the son of his son, and Sara his daughter-in-law, the wife of Abram his son, and led them forth out of the land of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Chanaan, and they came as far as Charrhan, and he lived there.
Nake Tera akĩoya mũriũ wake Aburamu, na Loti mũrũ wa mũrũwe Harani, na Sarai mũtumia wa mũriũ wake Aburamu; nao makiumagara hamwe moime bũrũri wa Uri-kwa-Akalidei mathiĩ Kaanani. No rĩrĩa maakinyire bũrũri wetagwo Harani, magĩtũũra kuo.
32 And all the days of Tharrha in the land of Charrhan were two hundred and five years, and Tharrha died in Charrhan.
Tera agĩtũũra muoyo mĩaka ĩngĩ magana meerĩ na ĩtano, na agĩkuĩra kũu Harani.
