Genesis 11
1 The whole earth was of one language and of one speech.
Maꞌahulu na, basa atahori sia raefafoꞌ ia olaꞌ rendiꞌ a dedꞌeat esaꞌ a.
2 It happened, as they traveled from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they settled there.
Ruma sangga lali risiꞌ seriꞌ rulu, losa rae tetuꞌ esa sia Sinear, de ara leo sia naa.
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.
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 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."
5 And God came down to see the city and the tower, that humankind was building.
Boe ma LAMATUALAIN nema mete sobꞌa nusaꞌ naa, no ume naruꞌ fo rafefelaꞌ a.
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.
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 Come, let us go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another's speech."
Malole lenaꞌ Hita onda fo tao se esa-esaꞌ no dedꞌea na, fo esa nda nahine esa dedꞌea na saꞌ boe.”
8 Then God scattered them abroad from there on the surface of all the earth; so they ceased building 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 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.
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 was one hundred years old and became the father of Arpachshad 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.

28 And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his birth, in Ur Kasdim.
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 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.
Abram sao na Sarai. Nahor sao nala Haran ana feto na, Milka. Haran o ma ana touꞌ esa, naran Yiska.
30 And Sarai was barren. She had no child.
Te Sarai nda mana bꞌonggiꞌ sa.
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.
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 were two hundred and five years. And Terah died in Haran.
Tera too natun rua lima ma, ana mate sia naa.
