< Genesis 11 >
1 So it came to pass that, all the earth, was of one manner of speech, —and of one stock of words.
Ary ny tany rehetra dia iray fanononana sy iray fiteny.
2 And it came to pass as they brake away onwards, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and dwelt there.
Ary raha nifindrafindra niantsinanana ny olona, dia nahita tany lemaka tany amin’ ny tany Sinara izy ka nonina teo.
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,
Ary niresadresaka hoe izy: Andeha isika hanao biriky ka handotra azy tsara. Ary ny biriky na taony solom-bato, ary ny asfalta nataony solon-drihitra.
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.
Ary hoy izy: Andeha isika hanao tanàna sy tilikambo ho antsika, ka ny tampony hahatakatra ny lanitra, dia hanao izay hahazoantsika laza, fandrao hiely eny ambonin’ ny tany rehetra isika.
5 And Yahweh came down, to behold the city, and the tower, —which the sons of men had built.
Dia nidina Jehovah hizaha ny tanàna sy ny tilikambo, izay nataon’ ny zanak’ olombelona.
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.
Ary hoy Jehovah: Indro, iray foko ny olona, sady iray fanononana izy rehetra, ary ity vao fiandohan’ ny hataony; koa izao dia tsy hisy azo sakanana na inona na inona izay saintsaininy hatao.
7 Come on! let us go down, and there confuse their speech, —that they may not understand, each man the speech of his friend.
Aoka isika hidina, ka eny no hanorokoroantsika ny fiteniny, mba tsy hifankahala teny izy.
8 So Yahweh scattered them from thence over the face of all the earth, —and so they left off building the city.
Dia tao no nampielezan’ i Jehovah azy hiala ho eny ambonin’ ny tany rehetra; dia nitsahatra tsy nanao ny tanàna intsony izy.
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.
Koa izany no nanaovana ny anarany hoe Babela; fa tao Jehovah no nanorokoro ny fitenin’ ny tany rehetra; ary tao no nampielezan’ i Jehovah ny olona ho eny ambonin’ ny tany rehetra.

26 And Terah lived seventy years, —and begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
Ary rehefa fito-polo taona ny andro niainan’ i Tera, dia niteraka an’ i Abrama sy Nahora ary Harana izy:
27 These, then are the generations of Terah, Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran, —and, Haran, begat Lot;
Ary izao no taranak’ i Tera: Tera niteraka an’ i Abrama sy Nahora ary Harana; ary Harana niteraka an’ i Lota.
28 and Haran died, in the presence of Terah his father, —in the land of his birth, in Ur of the Chaldees.
Ary maty Harana, raha mbola teo anatrehan’ i Tera rainy tany amin’ ny tany nahaterahany, dia tao Oran’ ny Kaldeana.
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.
Ary Abrama sy Nahora dia samy naka vady ho azy: ny anaran’ ny vadin’ i Abrama dia Saray; ary ny anaran’ ny vadin’ i Nahora dia Milka, zanakavavin’ i Harana, rain’ i Milka sy rain’ Iska.
30 And, Sarai, remained barren, —she had no child,
Ary momba Saray; tsy nanan-janaka izy.
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.
Ary Tera nitondra an’ i Abrama zanany sy Lota zafiny, zanak’ i Harana, ary Saray vinantoni-vavy, vadin’ i Abrama zanany; dia niaraka taminy ireo ka niala tao Oran’ ny Kaldeana hankany amin’ ny tany Kanana; dia tonga tao Harana izy ka nonina tao.
32 And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years, —and Terah died in Haran.
Ary dimy amby roan-jato taona ny andro niainan’ i Tera; dia maty tao Harana izy.
