< Genesis 11 >
1 The whole earth was of one language and of one speech.
Phatkhat lai tah chun vannoiya mihem jousen pao khat bou ana tho uvin, apao cheng manu jong tha khat cheh ana hi.
2 It happened, as they traveled from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they settled there.
Hiche lai chun miho chu nisolama konin ahung kichon uvin ahile Shinar gamsunga chun phaicham mun ong lentah ahin mudoh uvin, hikoma chun acheng tauve.
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.
Hichun ama ho khat le khat aki hou un, “Eihon cheh gadengu hitin goutah lheng'u hite,” akiti uvin; hiti chun song panna pang dingin cheh amang uvin, songlou dingin leingan amang uve.
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."
Hichun amahon hitin aseiuve, “Hung un eihon khopi khat kisah uhitin, chule in sangtah khat a tingvum vantoh kibang khat sadoh uhitin, vannoiya imin'u ki thansah uhite, achuti loule leiset chunga iki moh thethang gam ding'u ahi,” atiuve.
5 And God came down to see the city and the tower, that humankind was building.
Hinlah Pakai Pathen chu mihemten khopi asah'u le insang asah doh'u veding in Pakai ahung kumlha tai.
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.
Hichun Pakai Pathen in aseiye, “Vetan mipiho hi aki pumkhat thei lheh jeng uvin chule pao khatseh bou atho uvin, hijeh chun phat chomkhat jou teng le amaho hin ipi hijongle abolgot ho u-chu ajo lel lou beh dingu ahi.
7 Come, let us go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another's speech."
Hijeh chun hung un eiho ga kumsuh'u hitin apao'u ga suhkhen peh uhite, chutile khat le khat athusei kihet mon um tauvinte,” ati.
8 Then God scattered them abroad from there on the surface of all the earth; so they ceased building the city.
Hiti chun Pakai Pathen in leiset chung ah abon uvin, athe cheh soh hel'in hiche apat'a chu khopi insah chu hung bouiya ahiuve.
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.
Hijeh a chu hiche kopi insang kisah chu Babel kiti ahi, ajeh chu Pathen in mipi ho lung asuhboui a paochom paochom athosah ahi tia hi Pathen in vannoiya ana thecheh'u ahi.

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.

27 Now these are the generations of Terah. Terah became the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran. And Haran became the father of Lot.
Hiche hi Terahte thusim kisei ahi. Terah chun Abram, Nahor, chule Haran pa ahin, chule Haran chu Lot pa ahiye.
28 And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his birth, in Ur Kasdim.
Ahin Haran chu apa Terah thi masang in, apenna Chaldeans gam'a Ur khopi achun athitai.
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.
Ahin chutobang lai chun Abram le Nahor chun ji anei gel lhon in, Abram jinu min chu Sarai ahin, Nahor jinu min chu ahile Milcah ahin, Haran chanu ahiye; (Milcah le a sopi nu Iscah chu Nahor sopi pa Haran Chanute ahi lhon e).
30 And Sarai was barren. She had no child.
Ahin Sarai chu aching in naovop thei louvin cha hing lou vin aum tai.
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.
