< Genesis 11 >

1 So it came to pass that, all the earth, was of one manner of speech, —and of one stock of words.
Ke mutawauk ah, kain kas sefanna lun mwet faclu nufon, ac mwet uh orekmakin pusra sefanna.
2 And it came to pass as they brake away onwards, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and dwelt there.
Ke elos forfor layen kutulap, elos sun sie acn tupasrpasr in acn Babylonia ac oakwuki we.
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,
Elos fahk nu sin sie sin sie, “Fahsru, kut in orek brick ac omunla in ku.” Ouinge elos orek brick mwe musa, ac sang tar folsani nu sie.
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.
Na elos fahk, “Inge kut ac musaela sie siti ac sie tower ma ac sun acn inkusrao, inesr in mau ku in pwengpeng, ac kut in tia musalelik nu fin faclu nufon.”
5 And Yahweh came down, to behold the city, and the tower, —which the sons of men had built.
Na LEUM GOD El oatula ac liye siti sac ac tower se ma mwet uh musai,
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.
ac El fahk, “Ingena, mwet inge ma sefanna ac elos sramsram ke kas sefanna. Tufahna pa inge mutaweyen ma elos ac mau oru uh. Ac tia paht na elos ac ku in oru kutena ma su elos ac lungse oru!
7 Come on! let us go down, and there confuse their speech, —that they may not understand, each man the speech of his friend.
Fahsru, kut oatula ac akfohsyauk kas lalos, elos in tia kalem ke kas lun sie sin sie.”
8 So Yahweh scattered them from thence over the face of all the earth, —and so they left off building the city.
Ouinge LEUM GOD El akfahsryeloselik nu fin faclu nufon, ac elos tila musai siti sac.
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.
Siti sac pangpang Babylon, mweyen LEUM GOD El akfohsyauk kas lun mwet nukewa we, ac akfahsryeloselik nukewa liki acn we nu fin faclu nufon.

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.
