Genesis 11
1 And the whole earth is of one language, and of the same words,
Hatnavah lawk phun touh hoi lawk pan e buet touh dueng doeh kaawm.
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;
Kanîtholah hoi kahlawng a cei awh teh, Shinar ram dawk tanghling a hmu awh teh, haw vah kho hmuen a thawng awh.
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.
Hat torei teh, buet touh hoi buet touh, tho awh amhru sak awh vaiteh kahawicalah pâeng awh sei telah a kâti awh. Hottelah talung e yueng lah amhru a hno awh teh pato nahanelah ailai a hno awh.
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.”
Hahoi, tho awh mamouh hanelah khopui thawng awh vaiteh kalvan kadeng lah imrasang sak awh sei. Mamouh hanelah min kamsawng sak awh sei, telah hoehpawiteh talai van tangkuem koe kâkahei payon han doeh telah ati awh.
5 And YHWH comes down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men have built;
Hatei taminaw e capanaw ni a thawng awh e khopui hoi imrasang khet hanlah BAWIPA teh a kum.
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.
BAWIPA ni khenhaw! taminaw teh miphun buet touh lah ao awh teh lawk buet touh dueng a hno awh dawkvah, hete hno hmaloe pasuek a kamtawng awh. Sak han a ngai awh e kangangkung awm laipalah a sak awh han doeh.
7 Give help, let us go down there and confuse their language, so that a man will not understand the language of his companion.”
Hatdawkvah, tho awh, kum awh sei. Ahnimanaw buet touh hoi buet touh lawk kâthai awh hoeh nahanelah, lawk alouklouk lah sak awh sei telah ati.
8 And YHWH scatters them from there over the face of all the earth, and they cease to build the city;
Hottelah BAWIPA ni ahnimanaw teh talai van a kampek sak awh teh khopui kangdout sak thai awh hoeh toe.
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.
Hatdawkvah, Babel telah min a poe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hote hmuen koehoi BAWIPA ni lawk alouklouk lah a pan sak teh talai van koung a kampek sak.
10 These [are] the generations of Shem: Shem [is] a son of one hundred years, and begets Arphaxad two years after the flood.

26 And Terah lives seventy years, and begets Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
Terah teh kum 70 touh a pha nah Abram, Nahor, hoi Haran a sak.
27 And these [are] the generations of Terah: Terah has begotten Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran has begotten Lot;
Terah e casaknaw teh, Terah ni Abram, Nahor hoi Haran a sak. Haran ni Lot a sak.
28 and Haran dies in the presence of Terah his father, in the land of his birth, in Ur of the Chaldees.
Haran teh a na pa Terah hmaitung, a khenae hmuen Khaldean taminaw a onae Ur kho dawk a due.
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.
Hahoi, Abram hoi Nahor ni a yu a la roi. Abram e a yu min teh Sarai, Nahor e a yu min teh Haran e a canu Mikah. Haran teh Milkah hoi Iskah e a na pa lah ao.
30 And Sarai is barren—she has no child.
Hatei Sarai teh carôe dawkvah ca tawn hoeh.
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 ni a capa Abram hoi a capa Haran capa Lot, a langa lah kaawm a capa Abraham e yu Sarai, a kaw teh Kanaan ram lah cei hanelah Khaldean taminaw a onae Ur kho hoi a tâcokhai, Hatei Haran kho a pha awh navah haw vah kho a sak awh.
32 And the days of Terah are two hundred and five years, and Terah dies in Haran.
