Genesis 11
1 And the whole earth is of one language, and of the same words,
To naah long pum ah lok maeto khue oh moe, lok maeto ni apaeh o.
2 and it comes to pass, in their journeying from the east, that they find a valley in the land of Shinar and dwell there;
Ni angyae bang hoiah a caeh o, Shinar azawn to hnuk o naah, to ah khosak o.
3 and they each say to his neighbor, “Give help, let us make bricks, and burn [them] thoroughly”: and the brick is to them for stone, and the bitumen has been to them for mortar.
To naah nihcae mah maeto hoi maeto khaeah, Angzo oh, amlai long pahlom o si loe, hmaiqoeng o si, tiah thuih o. Thlung zuengah amlai long to patoh o moe, param long zuengah thing tangpri to patoh o.
4 And they say, “Give help, let us build for ourselves a city and tower with its head in the heavens, and make for ourselves a name, lest we be scattered over the face of all the earth.”
Nihcae mah, Angzo oh, vangpui maeto sah o si loe, van pha khoek to imsang to sah o si; aimacae ahmin amthang hanah sah o si, to tih ai nahaeloe long pum ah ampraek o boih moeng tih, tiah a thuih o.
5 And YHWH comes down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men have built;
Angraeng loe kaminawk mah sak ih imsang hoi vangpui to khet hanah, angzoh tathuk.
6 and YHWH says, “Behold, the people [is] one, and one language [is] to them all, and this it has dreamed of doing; and now, nothing is restrained from them of that which they have purposed to do.
Angraeng mah, Khenah, kaminawk loe maeto ah oh o moe, lok maeto apaeh o boih pongah, hae tok hae sak amtong o boeh; vaihi sak han a poek o ih hmuen hae pakaahaih tidoeh om ai ah sah o tih.
7 Give help, let us go down there and confuse their language, so that a man will not understand the language of his companion.”
Angzo oh, caeh o tathuk si loe, maeto hoi maeto lok angthaih han ai ah, lok anghmangsak si, tiah thuih o.
8 And YHWH scatters them from there over the face of all the earth, and they cease to build the city;
To pongah Angraeng mah nihcae to long pum ah ampraeksak; to naah vangpui to sah ai ah toengh o sut.
9 therefore [one] has called its name Babel, for there YHWH has confused the language of all the earth, and from there YHWH has scattered them over the face of all the earth.
Angraeng mah long pum ah kaom kaminawk to lok anghmangsak, to ahmuen hoiah nihcae to long pum ah ampraeksak phang, to pongah vangpui to Babel, tiah kawk o.
10 These [are] the generations of Shem: Shem [is] a son of one hundred years, and begets Arphaxad two years after the flood.
Shem ih caanawk kawng loe hae tiah oh; Shem loe saning cumvaito oh moe, tui uemhaih phak pacoeng, saning hnetto naah, Arphazad to sak;
11 And Shem lives after his begetting Arphaxad five hundred years, and begets sons and daughters.

23 And Serug lives after his begetting Nahor two hundred years, and begets sons and daughters.
Serug loe Nahor sak pacoengah, saning cumvai hnetto hing moe, kalah capa hoi canunawk doeh sak vop.
24 And Nahor lives twenty-nine years [[or seventy-nine years]], and begets Terah.
Nahor loe saning pumphae takawtto naah, Terah to sak.
25 And Nahor lives after his begetting Terah one hundred and nineteen years [[or one hundred and twenty-nine years]], and begets sons and daughters.
Nahor loe Terah sak pacoengah, saning cumvai, hatlai takawtto hing moe, capa hoi canunawk sak vop.
26 And Terah lives seventy years, and begets Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
Terah loe saning cumvai sarihto naah, Abram, Nahor hoi Haran to sak.
27 And these [are] the generations of Terah: Terah has begotten Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran has begotten Lot;
Terah ih caanawk kawng loe hae tiah oh; Terah mah Abram, Nahor hoi Haran to sak; Haran mah Lot to sak.
28 and Haran dies in the presence of Terah his father, in the land of his birth, in Ur of the Chaldees.
Haran loe ampa Terah dueh ai naah, a tapenhaih Khaldia prae Ur vangpui ah duek.
29 And Abram and Nahor take to themselves wives; the name of Abram’s wife [is] Sarai, and the name of Nahor’s wife [is] Milcah, daughter of Haran, father of Milcah, and father of Iscah.
Abram hoi Nahor loe zu lak hoi hmaek; Abram ih zu loe Sarai; Nahor ih zu loe Milkah; Haran mah canu, Milkah hoi Ishkah to sak.
30 And Sarai is barren—she has no child.
Sarai loe caa kaak; to pongah caa sah ai.
31 And Terah takes his son Abram, and Lot, son of Haran, his son’s son, and his daughter-in-law Sarai, wife of his son Abram, and they go out with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go toward the land of Canaan; and they come to Haran, and dwell there.
Terah mah a capa Abram, Haran ih capa Lot, a capa Abram ih zu, a langah Sarai to kawk moe, Khadia prae Ur vangpui hoiah Kanaan prae ah caeh haih; Haran vangpui phak o naah, to ah khosak o.
32 And the days of Terah are two hundred and five years, and Terah dies in Haran.
Terah loe saning cumvai hnet, pangato hing moe, Haran vangpui ah duek.
