Genesis 11
1 So it came to pass that, all the earth, was of one manner of speech, —and of one stock of words.
Pea naʻe ngutu taha pe ʻa māmani kotoa, mo lea taha pe.
2 And it came to pass as they brake away onwards, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and dwelt there.
Pea naʻe hoko, ʻi heʻenau fononga mei hahake, naʻa nau ʻilo ai ʻae toafa ʻi he fonua ko Saina; pea nau nofo ai.
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,
Pea naʻa nau fepehēʻaki, “Vakai, ke tau ngaohi ʻae makaʻumea, pea taʻo ia ke vela ʻaupito. Pea naʻa nau maka ʻaki ʻae makaʻumea, mo nau lahe ʻaki ʻae kelepulu.”
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.
Pea naʻa nau pehē, “Vakai, ke tau langa moʻotautolu ha kolo mo e fale māʻolunga, kae aʻu hono tuʻa fale ki langi; pea tau fakaongoongoa ʻa hotau hingoa, telia naʻa fakamovetevete ʻakitautolu ki he funga ʻo māmani kotoa.”
5 And Yahweh came down, to behold the city, and the tower, —which the sons of men had built.
Pea naʻe hāʻele hifo ʻa Sihova, ke ʻafio ki he kolo mo e fale māʻolunga, ʻaia naʻe langa ʻe he fānau ʻae tangata.
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.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova, “Vakai, ʻoku taha pe ʻae kakai, pea ʻoku nau lea taha pe; pea kuo nau kamata fai eni: pea ko eni, ʻe ʻikai taʻofia ʻakinautolu, ʻi ha meʻa kuo nau fakakaukau ke fai.
7 Come on! let us go down, and there confuse their speech, —that they may not understand, each man the speech of his friend.
Vakai, ke tau ʻalu hifo, pea veuveuki ʻenau lea, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa nau feʻiloaki lea.”
8 So Yahweh scattered them from thence over the face of all the earth, —and so they left off building the city.
Ko ia naʻe fakamovetevete ai ʻakinautolu ʻe Sihova ki he funga ʻo māmani kotoa pē: pea naʻa nau tuku ʻae langa kolo.
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.
Ko ia ʻoku ui ai hono hingoa ko Pepeli; koeʻuhi naʻe veuveuki ʻi ai ʻe Sihova ʻae lea ʻa māmani kotoa pē: pea naʻe fakamovetevete ʻakinautolu mei ai, ʻe Sihova, ki he funga ʻo māmani kotoa pē.

Pea naʻe moʻui ʻa Tela ʻi he taʻu ʻe fitungofulu, pea naʻe fānau kiate ia ʻa ʻEpalame, mo Nehoa, mo Halani.
27 These, then are the generations of Terah, Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran, —and, Haran, begat Lot;
Pea ko eni ʻae hako ʻo Tela: naʻe fānau kia Tela ʻa ʻEpalame, mo Nehoa, mo Halani; pea naʻe fānau kia Halani ʻa Lote.
28 and Haran died, in the presence of Terah his father, —in the land of his birth, in Ur of the Chaldees.
Pea naʻe tomuʻa pekia ʻa Halani ʻi heʻene tamai ko Tela, ʻi he fonua naʻe fanauʻi ai ia, ko Ua ʻi Kalitia.
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.
Pea naʻe maʻu uaifi ʻa ʻEpalame mo Nehoa: ko e hingoa ʻoe uaifi ʻo ʻEpalame ko Selai, pea ko e hingoa ʻoe uaifi ʻo Nehoa ko Milika, ko e ʻofefine ʻo Halani, ko e tamai ʻa Milika, mo e tamai ʻa Isika.
30 And, Sarai, remained barren, —she had no child,
Ka naʻe paʻa ʻa Selai; naʻe ʻikai haʻa ne tama.
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.
Pea naʻe ʻave ʻe Tela ʻa hono foha ko ʻEpalame, mo Lote ko e foha ʻo hono foha ko Halani, mo Selai ko hono ʻofefine ʻi he fono, ko e uaifi ʻo hono foha ko ʻEpalame; pea naʻa nau ʻalu atu mei Ua ʻi Kalitia, ke fononga ki he fonua ko Kēnani; pea naʻa nau hoko ki Halani, ʻo nofo ai.
32 And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years, —and Terah died in Haran.
Pea ko e ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Tela ko e taʻu ʻe uangeau ma nima; pea naʻe pekia ʻa Tela ʻi Halani.
