Genesis 11
1 And 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 And it came to pass, as they journeyed east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.
Na rĩrĩa andũ maathiiaga na mwena wa irathĩro, magĩkinya werũ-inĩ ũrĩa mwaraganu wa Shinaru, na magĩtũũra kuo.
3 And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar.
Nao makĩĩrana atĩrĩ, “Ũkai tũũmbe maturubarĩ na tũmacine wega.” Magĩtũmĩra maturubarĩ handũ ha mahiga, na rami handũ ha thimiti.
4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city, and a tower, whose top [may reach] unto heaven, and let us make us a name; lest we be scattered abroad upon the face 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 the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
No rĩrĩ, Jehova agĩikũrũka oke one itũũra rĩu na mũthiringo ũcio andũ acio maakaga.
6 And the LORD said, Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language; and this is what they begin to do: and now nothing will be withholden from them, which they purpose to do.
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 Go to, let us go down, and there confound 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 So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, kuuma hau Jehova akĩmahurunja thĩ yothe, nao magĩtiga gwaka itũũra rĩu inene.
9 Therefore was the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the 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 an hundred years old, and begat 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 and Shem lived after he begat Arpachshad five hundred years, and begat 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.
12 And Arpachshad lived five and thirty years, and begat Shelah:
Nake Arafakasadi aakinyia mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtatũ na ĩtano, agĩtuĩka ithe wa Shela.
13 and Arpachshad lived after he begat Shelah four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.
Na thuutha wa gũtuĩka ithe wa Shela, Arafakasadi agĩtũũra muoyo mĩaka ĩngĩ magana mana na ĩtatũ, na akĩgĩa na ciana ingĩ cia aanake na cia airĩtu.
14 And Shelah lived thirty years, and begat Eber:
Nake Shela aakinyia mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtatũ, agĩtuĩka ithe wa Eberi.
15 and Shelah lived after he begat Eber four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.
Na thuutha wa gũtuĩka ithe wa Eberi, Shela agĩtũũra muoyo mĩaka ĩngĩ magana mana na ĩtatũ, na akĩgĩa na ciana ingĩ cia aanake na cia airĩtu.
16 And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begat Peleg:
Nake Eberi aakinyia mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtatũ na ĩna, agĩtuĩka ithe wa Pelegu.
17 and Eber lived after he begat Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters.
Na thuutha wa gũtuĩka ithe wa Pelegu, Eberi agĩtũũra muoyo mĩaka ĩngĩ magana mana na mĩrongo ĩtatũ, na akĩgĩa na ciana ingĩ cia aanake na cia airĩtu.
18 And Peleg lived thirty years, and begat Reu:
Nake Pelegu aakinyia mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtatũ, agĩtuĩka ithe wa Reu.
19 and Peleg lived after he begat Reu two hundred and nine years, and begat 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 And Reu lived two and thirty years, and begat Serug:
Nake Reu aakinyia mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtatũ na ĩĩrĩ, agĩtuĩka ithe wa Serugu.
21 and Reu lived after he begat Serug two hundred and seven years, and begat 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.
22 And Serug lived thirty years, and begat Nahor:
Nake Serugu aakinyia mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtatũ, agĩtuĩka ithe wa Nahoru.
23 and Serug lived after he begat Nahor two hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.
Na thuutha wa gũtuĩka ithe wa Nahoru, Serugu agĩtũũra muoyo mĩaka ĩngĩ magana meerĩ na akĩgĩa na ciana ingĩ cia aanake na cia airĩtu.
24 And Nahor lived nine and twenty years, and begat Terah:
Nake Nahoru aakinyia mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na kenda, agĩtuĩka ithe wa Tera.
25 and Nahor lived after he begat Terah an hundred and nineteen years, and begat sons and daughters.
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 And Terah lived seventy years, and begat 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 begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begat 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 in the presence of his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees.
Ithe wao Tera arĩ o muoyo-rĩ, Harani nĩakuire arĩ bũrũri-inĩ wa Uri-kwa-Akalidei, kũrĩa aaciarĩirwo.
29 And Abram and Nahor took them wives: the name of Abram’s wife was Sarai; and the name of Nahor’s wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and 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, and Lot the son of Haran, his son’s son, and Sarai his daughter in law, his son Abram’s wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Haran, and dwelt 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.
