Genesis 11
1 And the whole earth is of one language, and of the same words,
Ensi yonna yalina olulimi lumu, nga bakozesa ebigambo bye bimu.
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;
Abantu bwe baava oluuyi olw’ebuvanjuba ne batuuka mu lusenyi nsi ya Sinaali ne babeera omwo.
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.
Ne bateesa nti, “Mujje tukole amatoffaali, tugookye bulungi.” Ne baba n’amatoffaali mu kifo ky’amayinja, ne kolaasi mu kifo ky’ettosi.
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.”
Awo ne bagamba nti, “Mujje twezimbire ekibuga, tutuuse omunaala gwakyo ku ggulu; twekolere erinnya, tuleme okusaasaanyizibwa okubuna ensi yonna.”
5 And YHWH comes down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men have built;
Naye Mukama nakka okulaba ekibuga n’omunaala, abaana b’abantu kye baali bazimba.
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.
Mukama n’ayogera nti, “Laba, bali omuntu omu, era boogera olulimi lumu! Era eno ntandikwa butandikwa ey’ebyo bye banaakola; era tewali kye banaateesa kukola ekinaabalemerera.
7 Give help, let us go down there and confuse their language, so that a man will not understand the language of his companion.”
Mujje, tukke wansi tutabuletabule olulimi lwabwe, baleme kutegeeragana.”
8 And YHWH scatters them from there over the face of all the earth, and they cease to build the city;
Bw’atyo Mukama n’abasaasaanya ne babuna ensi yonna, n’ekibuga kyabwe ne batakimaliriza.
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.
Ekibuga ekyo erinnya lyakyo kye lyava liyitibwa Babiri, kubanga eyo Mukama gye yatabuliratabulira olulimi lw’ensi yonna. Eyo Mukama gye yabasaasaanyiza okubuna ensi yonna.
10 These [are] the generations of Shem: Shem [is] a son of one hundred years, and begets Arphaxad two years after the flood.
Bino bye bifa ku b’olulyo lwa Seemu: Seemu bwe yali ng’aweza emyaka kikumi, n’azaala Alupakusaadi nga wakayita emyaka ebiri okuva ku mataba.
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.

18 And Peleg lives thirty years [[or one hundred and thirty years]], and begets Reu.
Peregi bwe yaweza emyaka amakumi asatu n’azaala Leewo,
19 And Peleg lives after his begetting Reu two hundred and nine years, and begets sons and daughters.

20 And Reu lives thirty-two years [[or one hundred and thirty-two years]], and begets Serug.

21 And Reu lives after his begetting Serug two hundred and seven years, and begets sons and daughters.

26 And Terah lives seventy years, and begets Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
Teera bwe yaweza emyaka nsanvu, n’azaala Ibulaamu, ne Nakoli ne Kalani.
27 And these [are] the generations of Terah: Terah has begotten Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran has begotten Lot;
Bino bye bifa ku b’olulyo lwa Teera: Teera ye kitaawe wa Ibulaamu, ne Nakoli ne Kalani; Kalani ye yali kitaawe wa Lutti.
28 and Haran dies in the presence of Terah his father, in the land of his birth, in Ur of the Chaldees.
Kalani yafa nga kitaawe Teera tannafa. Yafiira mu Uli ey’Abakaludaaya mwe yazaalirwa.
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.
Ibulaamu ne Nakoli ne bawasa; erinnya lya mukazi wa Ibulaamu lyali Salaayi, ate mukazi wa Nakoli nga ye Mirika, muwala wa Kalani, kitaawe wa Mirika ne Isika.
30 And Sarai is barren—she has no child.
Salaayi yali mugumba, teyalina mwana.
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.
Teera n’atwala Ibulaamu mutabani we Lutti muzzukulu we mutabani wa Kalani, ne Salaayi muka mutabani we Ibulaamu, ne bagenda bonna okuva mu Uli eky’Abakaludaaya okugenda mu nsi ya Kalani; bwe baatuuka mu Kalani, ne babeera omwo.
32 And the days of Terah are two hundred and five years, and Terah dies in Haran.
Emyaka gya Teera gyali ebikumi bibiri mu etaano; Teera n’afiira mu Kalani.
