Genesis 11
1 And the whole earth is of one language, and of the same words,
Maꞌahulu na, basa atahori sia raefafoꞌ ia olaꞌ rendiꞌ a dedꞌeat esaꞌ a.
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;
Ruma sangga lali risiꞌ seriꞌ rulu, losa rae tetuꞌ esa sia Sinear, de ara leo sia naa.
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.
Basa se rala hara esa rae, “We! Toronooꞌ re! Ima fo tafefela nusa monaeꞌ esa. Ata musi tao fatu mbilas, fo lalangge losa manggatee. Basa fo ata lutu fatu mbilas naa ra no ter, fo tariri ume naruꞌ esa, tonggo na losa lalai. Naa fo, ata hambu naraꞌ ma dadꞌi leo monaeꞌ sa nda banggi-bꞌanggiꞌ sa.”
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.”
5 And YHWH comes down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men have built;
Boe ma LAMATUALAIN nema mete sobꞌa nusaꞌ naa, no ume naruꞌ fo rafefelaꞌ a.
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.
Ana olaꞌ nae, “Basa atahori ia ra, leo esa, ma dedꞌeat esa. Saa fo ara taoꞌ a ia, feꞌe fefeuꞌ. Mbila-fini esaꞌ, mete ma basa se raꞌabꞌue reu esa onaꞌ ia, naa, ara bisa tao sudꞌi a saa.
7 Give help, let us go down there and confuse their language, so that a man will not understand the language of his companion.”
Malole lenaꞌ Hita onda fo tao se esa-esaꞌ no dedꞌea na, fo esa nda nahine esa dedꞌea na saꞌ boe.”
8 And YHWH scatters them from there over the face of all the earth, and they cease to build the city;
Boe ma Lamatualain onda tao tasibu dedꞌea nara. No taꞌo naa, Ana tao atahori ra sea-saranggaa risiꞌ basa mamanaꞌ sia raefafoꞌ a. Ara o nda rafefela rakandoo nusaꞌ naa saꞌ ena.
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.
Naa de, ara babꞌae nusaꞌ naa, Babel, (lii na naeꞌ a onaꞌ dedꞌeat esa, fo sosoa na ‘tabꞌanganga’), huu LAMATUALAIN tao tasibꞌu dedꞌea nara, ma fee se sea-saranggaa sudꞌiꞌ a bee reu sia raefafoꞌ a.
10 These [are] the generations of Shem: Shem [is] a son of one hundred years, and begets Arphaxad two years after the flood.
Ia, Sem tititi-nonosi nara. Leleꞌ oe mandali monaeꞌ a naloeꞌ too rua ena, nandaa no Sem too natun esa ma, ana hambu ana touꞌ esa, naran Arpaksad.
11 And Shem lives after his begetting Arphaxad five hundred years, and begets sons and daughters.
Basa ma, Sem feꞌe nasodꞌa too natun lima, de hambu seluꞌ ana touꞌ ma inaꞌ fai.
12 And Arphaxad has lived thirty-five years [[or one hundred and thirty-five years]], and begets Salah.
Arpaksad too telu nulu lima ma, ana hambu ana touꞌ esa, naran Sela.
13 And Arphaxad lives after his begetting Salah four hundred and three years [[or four hundred and thirty years]], and begets sons and daughters.
Basa ma, Arpaksad feꞌe nasodꞌa too natun haa telu, de hambu seluꞌ ana touꞌ ma inaꞌ fai.
14 And Salah has lived thirty years [[or one hundred and thirty years]], and begets Eber.
Sela too telu nulu ma, ana hambu ana touꞌ esa, naran Eber.
15 And Salah lives after his begetting Eber four hundred and three years [[or three hundred and thirty years]], and begets sons and daughters.
Basa ma, Sela feꞌe nasodꞌa too natun haa telu, de hambu seluꞌ ana touꞌ ma inaꞌ fai.
16 And Eber lives thirty-four years [[or one hundred and thirty-four years]], and begets Peleg.
Eber too telu nulu haa ma, ana hambu ana touꞌ esa, naran Pelek.
17 And Eber lives after his begetting Peleg four hundred and thirty years [[or three hundred and seventy years]], and begets sons and daughters.
Basa ma, Eber feꞌe nasodꞌa seluꞌ too natun haa telu nulu, de ana hambu seluꞌ ana touꞌ ma inaꞌ fai.
18 And Peleg lives thirty years [[or one hundred and thirty years]], and begets Reu.
Pelek too telu nulu ma, ana hambu ana touꞌ esa, naran Rehu.
19 And Peleg lives after his begetting Reu two hundred and nine years, and begets sons and daughters.
Basa ma, Pelek nasodꞌa seluꞌ too natun rua sio, de hambu seluꞌ ana touꞌ ma inaꞌ fai.
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.
Basa ma, Rehu feꞌe nasodꞌa too natun rua hitu, de hambu seluꞌ ana touꞌ ma inaꞌ fai.
22 And Serug lives thirty years [[or one hundred and thirty years]], and begets Nahor.

23 And Serug lives after his begetting Nahor two hundred years, and begets sons and daughters.
Basa ma, Seruk feꞌe nasodꞌa seluꞌ too natun rua, de hambu seluꞌ ana touꞌ ma inaꞌ fai.
24 And Nahor lives twenty-nine years [[or seventy-nine years]], and begets Terah.
Nahor too rua nulu sio ma, ana hambu ana touꞌ esa, naran Tera.
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.
Basa ma, Nahor feꞌe nasodꞌa seluꞌ too natun esa sana hulu sio, de hambu seluꞌ ana touꞌ ma inaꞌ fai.
26 And Terah lives seventy years, and begets Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
Tera too hitu nulu lena ma, ana hambu ana touꞌ telu ena, nara nara Abram, Nahor, ma Haran.
27 And these [are] the generations of Terah: Terah has begotten Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran has begotten Lot;
Ia, Tera tititi-nonosi nara. Tera ana nara, Abram, Nahor, ma Haran. Haran hambu ana touꞌ esa, naran Lot.
28 and Haran dies in the presence of Terah his father, in the land of his birth, in Ur of the Chaldees.
Haran mate mia kambo na, naran Ur, sia atahori Kasdim ra rae na. Ana mate te, ama na Tera feꞌe masodꞌaꞌ.
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 sao na Sarai. Nahor sao nala Haran ana feto na, Milka. Haran o ma ana touꞌ esa, naran Yiska.
30 And Sarai is barren—she has no child.
Te Sarai nda mana bꞌonggiꞌ sa.
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.
Lao esa, Tera nendi ana na Abram, ana feto feu na Sarai, ma umbu na Lot, de ara lao hela kambo Ur. Ara rae reu sia rae Kanaꞌan, te losa kambo Haran ma, ara leo reuꞌ a naa.
32 And the days of Terah are two hundred and five years, and Terah dies in Haran.
Tera too natun rua lima ma, ana mate sia naa.
