Genesis 11
1 So it came to pass that, all the earth, was of one manner of speech, —and of one stock of words.
Hatnavah lawk phun touh hoi lawk pan e buet touh dueng doeh kaawm.
2 And it came to pass as they brake away onwards, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and dwelt there.
Kanîtholah hoi kahlawng a cei awh teh, Shinar ram dawk tanghling a hmu awh teh, haw vah kho hmuen a thawng awh.
3 Then said they, each man to his friend, Come on! let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly, —So the bricks, served them for stone, and bitumen, served them for mortar,
Hat torei teh, buet touh hoi buet touh, tho awh amhru sak awh vaiteh kahawicalah pâeng awh sei telah a kâti awh. Hottelah talung e yueng lah amhru a hno awh teh pato nahanelah ailai a hno awh.
4 And they said Come on! let us build for ourselves a city, and a tower with its head in the heavens, so let us make for ourselves a name, —lest we be scattered abroad over the face of all the earth.
Hahoi, tho awh mamouh hanelah khopui thawng awh vaiteh kalvan kadeng lah imrasang sak awh sei. Mamouh hanelah min kamsawng sak awh sei, telah hoehpawiteh talai van tangkuem koe kâkahei payon han doeh telah ati awh.
5 And Yahweh came down, to behold the city, and the tower, —which the sons of men had built.
Hatei taminaw e capanaw ni a thawng awh e khopui hoi imrasang khet hanlah BAWIPA teh a kum.
6 Then said Yahweh: Lo! one people and one manner of speech, have they all, this, then is what they have begun to do, —now, therefore, nothing will be withholden from them which they may plan to do.
BAWIPA ni khenhaw! taminaw teh miphun buet touh lah ao awh teh lawk buet touh dueng a hno awh dawkvah, hete hno hmaloe pasuek a kamtawng awh. Sak han a ngai awh e kangangkung awm laipalah a sak awh han doeh.
7 Come on! let us go down, and there confuse their speech, —that they may not understand, each man the speech of his friend.
Hatdawkvah, tho awh, kum awh sei. Ahnimanaw buet touh hoi buet touh lawk kâthai awh hoeh nahanelah, lawk alouklouk lah sak awh sei telah ati.
8 So Yahweh scattered them from thence over the face of all the earth, —and so they left off building the city.
Hottelah BAWIPA ni ahnimanaw teh talai van a kampek sak awh teh khopui kangdout sak thai awh hoeh toe.
9 For this cause, was the name thereof called Babel ["Confusion"]; because there, did Yahweh confuse the speech of all the earth, —and, from thence, did Yahweh scatter them abroad, over the face of all the earth.
Hatdawkvah, Babel telah min a poe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hote hmuen koehoi BAWIPA ni lawk alouklouk lah a pan sak teh talai van koung a kampek sak.

28 and Haran died, in the presence of Terah his father, —in the land of his birth, in Ur of the Chaldees.
Haran teh a na pa Terah hmaitung, a khenae hmuen Khaldean taminaw a onae Ur kho dawk a due.
29 And Abram and Nahor took to themselves wives; the name of Abram’s wife, was Sarai; and, the name of Nahor’s wife, Milcah, daughter of Haran father of Milcah, and father of Iscah.
Hahoi, Abram hoi Nahor ni a yu a la roi. Abram e a yu min teh Sarai, Nahor e a yu min teh Haran e a canu Mikah. Haran teh Milkah hoi Iskah e a na pa lah ao.
30 And, Sarai, remained barren, —she had no child,
Hatei Sarai teh carôe dawkvah ca tawn hoeh.
31 And Terah took Abram his son and Lot son of Haran his son’s son, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, wife of Abram his son, —and came forth with them out of Ur of the Chaldees, that they might go their way towards the land of Canaan, and they came in as far as Haran and dwelt there.
Terah ni a capa Abram hoi a capa Haran capa Lot, a langa lah kaawm a capa Abraham e yu Sarai, a kaw teh Kanaan ram lah cei hanelah Khaldean taminaw a onae Ur kho hoi a tâcokhai, Hatei Haran kho a pha awh navah haw vah kho a sak awh.
