Genesis 11
1 So it came to pass that, all the earth, was of one manner of speech, —and of one stock of words.
Ensi yonna yalina olulimi lumu, nga bakozesa ebigambo bye bimu.
2 And it came to pass as they brake away onwards, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and dwelt there.
Abantu bwe baava oluuyi olw’ebuvanjuba ne batuuka mu lusenyi nsi ya Sinaali ne babeera omwo.
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,
Ne bateesa nti, “Mujje tukole amatoffaali, tugookye bulungi.” Ne baba n’amatoffaali mu kifo ky’amayinja, ne kolaasi mu kifo ky’ettosi.
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.
Awo ne bagamba nti, “Mujje twezimbire ekibuga, tutuuse omunaala gwakyo ku ggulu; twekolere erinnya, tuleme okusaasaanyizibwa okubuna ensi yonna.”
5 And Yahweh came down, to behold the city, and the tower, —which the sons of men had built.
Naye Mukama nakka okulaba ekibuga n’omunaala, abaana b’abantu kye baali bazimba.
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.
Mukama n’ayogera nti, “Laba, bali omuntu omu, era boogera olulimi lumu! Era eno ntandikwa butandikwa ey’ebyo bye banaakola; era tewali kye banaateesa kukola ekinaabalemerera.
7 Come on! let us go down, and there confuse their speech, —that they may not understand, each man the speech of his friend.
Mujje, tukke wansi tutabuletabule olulimi lwabwe, baleme kutegeeragana.”
8 So Yahweh scattered them from thence over the face of all the earth, —and so they left off building the city.
Bw’atyo Mukama n’abasaasaanya ne babuna ensi yonna, n’ekibuga kyabwe ne batakimaliriza.
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.
Ekibuga ekyo erinnya lyakyo kye lyava liyitibwa Babiri, kubanga eyo Mukama gye yatabuliratabulira olulimi lw’ensi yonna. Eyo Mukama gye yabasaasaanyiza okubuna ensi yonna.

Bino bye bifa ku b’olulyo lwa Teera: Teera ye kitaawe wa Ibulaamu, ne Nakoli ne Kalani; Kalani ye yali kitaawe wa Lutti.
28 and Haran died, in the presence of Terah his father, —in the land of his birth, in Ur of the Chaldees.
Kalani yafa nga kitaawe Teera tannafa. Yafiira mu Uli ey’Abakaludaaya mwe yazaalirwa.
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.
Ibulaamu ne Nakoli ne bawasa; erinnya lya mukazi wa Ibulaamu lyali Salaayi, ate mukazi wa Nakoli nga ye Mirika, muwala wa Kalani, kitaawe wa Mirika ne Isika.
30 And, Sarai, remained barren, —she had no child,
