< Genesis 11 >

1 The whole earth was of one language and of one speech.
E kindeno ogendini duto manie piny ne wacho dhok achiel kod weche machal.
2 It happened, as they traveled from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they settled there.
Kane gidhi yo wuok chiengʼ, negiyudo pap moro e piny Shinar mine gidak kanyo.
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.
Negiwacho e kindgi giwegi niya, “Biuru walosuru matafare kendo wawangʼ-gi mochiek maber.” Negitiyo gi matafare kar kite kendo lowo kar simiti.
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."
Eka negiwacho niya, “Biuru wager dala maduongʼ man-gi ohinga mabor machopo nyaka e polo mondo omi walos nyingwa kendo kik wabed moke e kor piny.”
5 And God came down to see the city and the tower, that humankind was building.
To Jehova Nyasaye nolor piny mondo one dala maduongʼ kod ohinga mabor mane dhano gero.
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 Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Ka gin oganda achiel, mawacho dhok achiel ema gisechako timo ma, kara gimoro amora ma gichano timo ok nyal tamogi.
7 Come, let us go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another's speech."
Biuru, kendo wadhi mondo wapog dhogi mondo kik giwinjre dhok ngʼato gi ngʼato.”
8 Then God scattered them abroad from there on the surface of all the earth; so they ceased building the city.
Omiyo Jehova Nyasaye nokeyogi koa kanyo nyaka e piny duto kendo ne giweyo gero dalano.
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.
Mano emomiyo ne iluongo dalano ni Babel, nikech kanyo ema Jehova Nyasaye nopogoe dho ogendini kendo okeyogi e pinje duto.
10 These are the generations of Shem. Shem was one hundred years old and became the father of Arpachshad two years after the flood.
Ma e nonro mar joka Shem. Higni ariyo bangʼ ataro ka Shem ja-higni mia achiel nonywolo Arfaksad.
11 Shem lived five hundred years after he became the father of Arpachshad, and fathered sons and daughters.

And Kenan lived one hundred and thirty years and became the father of Shelah. And Kenan lived three hundred and thirty years after he had become the father of Shelah, and fathered sons and daughters.

Kane Shela ja-higni piero adek, nonywolo Eber.
15 and Shelah lived four hundred and three years after he became the father of Eber, and fathered sons and daughters.
Kendo bangʼ kane osenywolo Eber, Shela nodak higni mia angʼwen gadek kendo nonywolo yawuowi kod nyiri mamoko.

23 Serug lived two hundred years after he became the father of Nahor, and fathered sons and daughters.
Kendo bangʼ kane osenywolo Nahor, Serug nodak higni mia ariyo kendo nonywolo yawuowi kod nyiri mamoko.

Bangʼ ka Tera nosedak higni piero abiriyo nonywolo Abram, Nahor kod Haran.
27 Now these are the generations of Terah. Terah became the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran. And Haran became the father of Lot.
Ma e nonro mar Tera. Tera nonywolo Abram, Nahor kod Haran. Kendo Haran nonywolo Lut.
28 And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his birth, in Ur Kasdim.
Haran notho e dalagi miluongo ni Ur manie piny Kaldea kane Tera wuon mare pod ngima.
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 kod Nahor nokendo. Nying chi Abram ne Sarai kendo nying chi Nahor ne Milka; mane nyar Haran; wuon Milka kod Iska.
30 And Sarai was barren. She had no child.
To Sarai ne en migumba; nikech ne ok onywol.
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.
Tera nokawo Abram wuode, gi Lut nyakware ma ka wuode Haran kod Sarai, chi Abram mi giwuok Ur e piny Kaldea ka gidhi Kanaan. To kane gichopo Haran, negidak kanyo.
32 And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years. And Terah died in Haran.
Tera nodak higni mia ariyo gabich kendo notho Haran.
