Genesis 11
1 The whole earth was of one language and of one speech.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo ya tene-rĩ, andũ othe a thĩ maarĩ na rũthiomi rũmwe na mwario o ũmwe.
2 It happened, as they traveled from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they settled there.
Na rĩrĩa andũ maathiiaga na mwena wa irathĩro, magĩkinya werũ-inĩ ũrĩa mwaraganu wa Shinaru, na magĩtũũra kuo.
3 And they said to one another, "Come, let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly." They had brick for stone, and they used tar for mortar.
Nao makĩĩrana atĩrĩ, “Ũkai tũũmbe maturubarĩ na tũmacine wega.” Magĩtũmĩra maturubarĩ handũ ha mahiga, na rami handũ ha thimiti.
4 They said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top reaches to the sky, and let us make ourselves a name, lest we be scattered abroad on the surface of the whole earth."
Ningĩ magĩcooka makiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũkai, rekei twĩyakĩre itũũra inene, rĩna mũthiringo mũraaya na igũrũ, ũkinye o matu-inĩ, nĩgeetha twĩgĩĩre igweta, na nĩguo tũtikaanahurunjwo thĩ yothe.”
5 And God came down to see the city and the tower, that humankind was building.
No rĩrĩ, Jehova agĩikũrũka oke one itũũra rĩu na mũthiringo ũcio andũ acio maakaga.
6 And God said, "Look, they are one people, and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do. So now nothing which they plan to do will be too difficult for them.
Jehova akiuga atĩrĩ na ngoro yake, “Angĩkorwo na ũndũ wa ũrũmwe wa kwaria rũthiomi rũmwe andũ aya nĩmambĩrĩria gwĩka ũũ-rĩ, gũtirĩ ũndũ makaabanga gwĩka ũkaamarema.
7 Come, let us go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another's speech."
Ũkai, tũikũrũke tũkahĩngĩcanie rũthiomi rwao, nĩgeetha matigacooke kũiguithania mĩario mũndũ na ũrĩa ũngĩ.”
8 Then God scattered them abroad from there on the surface of all the earth; so they ceased building the city.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, kuuma hau Jehova akĩmahurunja thĩ yothe, nao magĩtiga gwaka itũũra rĩu inene.
9 Therefore its name was called Babel, because there God confused the language of all the earth. From there he scattered them over the face of the whole earth.
Na nĩkĩo itũũra rĩu rĩetirwo Babeli, tondũ nĩkuo Jehova aahĩngĩcanĩirie rũthiomi rwa andũ a thĩ yothe. Kuuma kũu, Jehova akĩmahurunja thĩ yothe.
10 These are the generations of Shem. Shem was one hundred years old and became the father of Arpachshad two years after the flood.
Ũyũ nĩguo ũhoro wa Shemu. Mĩaka ĩĩrĩ thuutha wa mũiyũro wa maaĩ-rĩ, rĩrĩa Shemu aarĩ na ũkũrũ wa mĩaka igana rĩmwe-rĩ, nĩguo aatuĩkire ithe wa Arafakasadi.
11 Shem lived five hundred years after he became the father of Arpachshad, and fathered sons and daughters.
Shemu aatũũrire muoyo mĩaka magana matano thuutha wa gũtuĩka ithe wa Arafakasadi, na akĩgĩa na ciana ingĩ cia aanake na cia airĩtu.

Nake Pelegu aakinyia mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtatũ, agĩtuĩka ithe wa Reu.
19 Peleg lived two hundred and nine years after he became the father of Reu, and fathered sons and daughters.
Na thuutha wa gũtuĩka ithe wa Reu, Pelegu agĩtũũra muoyo mĩaka ĩngĩ magana meerĩ na kenda na akĩgĩa na ciana ingĩ cia aanake na cia airĩtu.
20 Reu lived one hundred and thirty-two years, and became the father of Serug.
Nake Reu aakinyia mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtatũ na ĩĩrĩ, agĩtuĩka ithe wa Serugu.
21 Reu lived two hundred and seven years after he became the father of Serug, and fathered sons and daughters.
Na thuutha wa gũtuĩka ithe wa Serugu, Reu agĩtũũra muoyo mĩaka ĩngĩ magana meerĩ na mũgwanja na akĩgĩa na ciana ingĩ cia aanake na cia airĩtu.

Na thuutha wa gũtuĩka ithe wa Tera, Nahoru agĩtũũra muoyo mĩaka ĩngĩ igana na ikũmi na kenda, na akĩgĩa na ciana ingĩ cia aanake na cia airĩtu.
26 Terah lived seventy years, and became the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
Thuutha wa Tera gũkinyia mĩaka mĩrongo mũgwanja, agĩtuĩka ithe wa Aburamu, na Nahoru na Harani.
27 Now these are the generations of Terah. Terah became the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran. And Haran became the father of Lot.
Ũyũ nĩguo ũhoro wa Tera. Tera nĩwe warĩ ithe wa Aburamu, na Nahoru na Harani. Nake Harani agĩtuĩka ithe wa Loti.
28 And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his birth, in Ur Kasdim.
Ithe wao Tera arĩ o muoyo-rĩ, Harani nĩakuire arĩ bũrũri-inĩ wa Uri-kwa-Akalidei, kũrĩa aaciarĩirwo.
29 And Abram and Nahor took wives. The name of Abram's wife was Sarai, and the name of Nahor's wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran who was also the father of Iscah.
Aburamu na Nahoru o eerĩ nĩmahikanirie. Mũtumia wa Aburamu eetagwo Sarai, nake mũtumia wa Nahoru eetagwo Milika; Milika aarĩ mwarĩ wa Harani. Harani nĩwe warĩ ithe wa Milika na Isika.
30 And Sarai was barren. She had no child.
Na rĩrĩ, Sarai aarĩ thaata; ndaarĩ na ciana.
31 And Terah took Abram his son, Lot the son of Haran, his grandson, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram's wife, and with them he set out from Ur Kasdim to go into the land of Canaan. But when they came to Haran, they settled there.
Nake Tera akĩoya mũriũ wake Aburamu, na Loti mũrũ wa mũrũwe Harani, na Sarai mũtumia wa mũriũ wake Aburamu; nao makiumagara hamwe moime bũrũri wa Uri-kwa-Akalidei mathiĩ Kaanani. No rĩrĩa maakinyire bũrũri wetagwo Harani, magĩtũũra kuo.
32 And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years. And Terah died in Haran.
Tera agĩtũũra muoyo mĩaka ĩngĩ magana meerĩ na ĩtano, na agĩkuĩra kũu Harani.
