Genesis 11
1 The whole earth was of one language and of one speech.
Lẹ́yìn náà, gbogbo àgbáyé sì ń sọ èdè kan ṣoṣo.
2 It happened, as they traveled from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they settled there.
Bí àwọn ènìyàn ṣe ń tẹ̀síwájú lọ sí ìhà ìlà-oòrùn, wọ́n rí pẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀ kan ní ilẹ̀ Ṣinari, wọ́n sì tẹ̀dó síbẹ̀.
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.
Wọ́n sì wí fún ara wọn pé, “Ẹ wá, ẹ jẹ́ kí a mọ bíríkì kí a sì sún wọ́n jìnà.” Bíríkì ni wọ́n ń lò ní ipò òkúta, àti ọ̀dà ilẹ̀ tí wọn ń lò láti mú wọn papọ̀ dípò ẹfun (òkúta láìmù tí wọ́n fi ń ṣe símẹ́ńtì àti omi).
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."
Nígbà náà ni wọ́n wí pé, “Ẹ wá, ẹ jẹ́ kí a tẹ ìlú kan dó fún ara wa, kí a sì kọ́ ilé ìṣọ́ kan tí yóò kan ọ̀run, kí a ba à lè ní orúkọ, kí a má sì tú káàkiri sórí gbogbo ilẹ̀ ayé.”
5 And God came down to see the city and the tower, that humankind was building.
Ṣùgbọ́n, Olúwa sọ̀kalẹ̀ láti wo ìlú àti ilé ìṣọ́ tí àwọn ènìyàn náà ń kọ́.
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.
Olúwa wí pé, “Bí àwọn ènìyàn bá ń jẹ́ ọ̀kan àti èdè kan tí wọ́n sì bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí í ṣe iṣẹ́ yìí, kò sí ohun tí wọ́n gbèrò tí wọn kò ní le ṣe yọrí.
7 Come, let us go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another's speech."
Ẹ wá, ẹ jẹ́ kí a sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ, kí a da èdè wọn rú kí èdè wọn má ba à yé ara wọn mọ́.”
8 Then God scattered them abroad from there on the surface of all the earth; so they ceased building the city.
Olúwa sì tú wọn ká sórí ilẹ̀ gbogbo, wọ́n sì ṣíwọ́ ìlú náà tí wọn ń tẹ̀dó.
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.
Ìdí èyí ni a fi pè é ní Babeli nítorí ní ibẹ̀ ni Olúwa ti da èdè gbogbo ayé rú. Olúwa tí sì tú àwọn ènìyàn ká sí gbogbo orí ilẹ̀ ayé.

27 Now these are the generations of Terah. Terah became the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran. And Haran became the father of Lot.
Wọ̀nyí ni ìran Tẹra. Tẹra ni baba Abramu, Nahori àti Harani. Harani sì bí Lọti.
28 And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his birth, in Ur Kasdim.

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.
Abramu àti Nahori sì gbéyàwó. Orúkọ aya Abramu ni Sarai, nígbà tí aya Nahori ń jẹ́ Milka, tí ṣe ọmọ Harani. Harani ni ó bí Milka àti Iska.
30 And Sarai was barren. She had no child.

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.
