Genesis 11
1 And the whole earth is of one language, and of the same words,
Nʼoge ahụ, ụwa niile nwere naanị otu asụsụ, okwu niile bụkwa otu.
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;
Mgbe ndị mmadụ gbasara nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ ha chọtara ala dị larịị na Shaịna biri nʼebe ahụ.
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.
Ha gwarịtara onwe ha okwu sị, “Bịanụ ka anyị kpụọ brik, kpọọ ha ọkụ nke ọma.” Ya mere, ha kpụrụ brik kama nkume, jirikwa bitumen kama ụrọ.
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.”
Mgbe ahụ, ha kwuru sị, “Bịanụ ka anyị wuore onwe anyị obodo na ụlọ elu, nke elu ya ga-eru nʼeluigwe, ka anyị si otu a meere onwe anyị aha, ka anyị ghara ịbụ ndị a ga-agbasa nʼụwa niile.”
5 And YHWH comes down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men have built;
Onyenwe anyị rịdatara hụ obodo ahụ na ụlọ elu ahụ ndị mmadụ na-ewu.
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.
Onyenwe anyị sịrị, “Lee! Ọ bụrụ na ha malitere ime ihe dị otu a, ugbu a ha bụ otu ndị, nweekwa otu asụsụ, o nweghị ihe ha zubere ime nke ha na-apụghị ime.
7 Give help, let us go down there and confuse their language, so that a man will not understand the language of his companion.”
Ngwa, ka anyị rịda gaa gbarụọ asụsụ ha, ka onye o bụla ghara ịghọta asụsụ ibe ya.”
8 And YHWH scatters them from there over the face of all the earth, and they cease to build the city;
Onyenwe anyị mere ka ha gbasaa nʼelu ụwa niile. Ha kwụsịkwara iwu obodo ahụ.
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.
Ọ bụkwa nke a mere e ji kpọọ obodo ahụ Babel nʼihi na ọ bụ nʼebe ahụ ka Onyenwe anyị wetara ọgbaaghara nʼasụsụ ndị niile bi nʼụwa. Ọ bụkwa nʼebe ahụ ka Onyenwe anyị si gbasasịa ha nʼelu ụwa dum.
10 These [are] the generations of Shem: Shem [is] a son of one hundred years, and begets Arphaxad two years after the flood.
Nke a bụ akụkọ banyere usoro ezinaụlọ Shem. Mgbe afọ abụọ gafechara site nʼoge uju mmiri ahụ, nʼoge Shem gbara narị afọ, ọ mụtara Apakshad.
11 And Shem lives after his begetting Arphaxad five hundred years, and begets sons and daughters.

17 And Eber lives after his begetting Peleg four hundred and thirty years [[or three hundred and seventy years]], and begets sons and daughters.
Mgbe ọ ghọrọ nna Peleg, ọ dịrị ndụ narị afọ anọ na iri atọ ọzọ mụta ụmụ ndị ikom na ụmụ ndị inyom.
18 And Peleg lives thirty years [[or one hundred and thirty years]], and begets Reu.

19 And Peleg lives after his begetting Reu two hundred and nine years, and begets sons and daughters.
Emesịa, mgbe ọ ghọrọ nna Reu, ọ dịrị ndụ narị afọ abụọ na itoolu ọzọ mụta ụmụ ndị ikom na ụmụ ndị inyom.

26 And Terah lives seventy years, and begets Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
Mgbe Tera gbara iri afọ asaa, ọ ghọrọ nna Ebram, Nahọ na Haran.
27 And these [are] the generations of Terah: Terah has begotten Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran has begotten Lot;
Nke a bụ akụkọ gbasara usoro ezinaụlọ Tera. Tera ghọrọ nna Ebram, Nahọ na Haran. Haran ghọrọ nna Lọt.
28 and Haran dies in the presence of Terah his father, in the land of his birth, in Ur of the Chaldees.
Haran nwụrụ nʼihu nna ya Tera nʼala ebe a nọ mụọ ya, nke bụ na Ụọ, obodo ndị Kaldịa.
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.
Ebram na Nahọ lụrụ nwunye. Aha nwunye Ebram bụ Serai ma aha nwunye Nahọ bụ Milka. Milka bụ nwa Haran, onye bụ nna Milka na Iska.
30 And Sarai is barren—she has no child.
Ma Serai bụ nwanyị aga, ọ mụtaghị nwa ọbụla.
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.
Tera kpọrọ nwa ya Ebram, na nwa nwa ya Lọt, onye bụ nwa Haran, na nwunye nwa ya Serai, bụ nwunye Ebram, duru ha hapụ Ụọ, obodo ndị Kaldịa, pụọ gawa nʼala Kenan. Ma mgbe ha bịarutere nʼobodo Haran, ha kwụsịrị biri nʼebe ahụ.
32 And the days of Terah are two hundred and five years, and Terah dies in Haran.
Ọ bụ nʼobodo Haran ka Tera nọ nwụọ, mgbe ọ gbara narị afọ abụọ na ise.
