Genesis 11
1 And it was all the earth language one and words one.
Ɛberɛ bi, na nnipa a wɔwɔ asase so nyinaa ka kasa korɔ.
2 And it was when set out they from [the] east and they found a plain in [the] land of Shinar and they dwelt there.
Saa nnipa yi tu baa apueeɛ fam no, wɔbɛtoo asase tamaa wɔ Babilonia asase so, na wɔtenaa hɔ.
3 And they said each to neighbor his give! let us make bricks bricks and let us burn [them] to burning and became for them brick to stone and bitumen became for them to mortar.
Wɔdwennwenee ho sɛ, “Momma yɛntwa ntayaa na yɛnto mma ɛmmen yie.” Wɔde ntayaa no sii aboɔ anan na wɔde ama hyehyɛɛ ntam.
4 And they said give! - let us build for ourselves a city and a tower and top its [will be] in the heavens and we may make for ourselves a name lest we should be scattered over [the] surface of all the earth.
Afei, wɔdwennwenee ho bio sɛ, “Momma yɛnkyekyere kuro kɛseɛ, na yɛnsi abantenten a ne sorɔnsorɔmmea duru sorosoro wɔ kuro no mu, na yɛnnye edin, na yɛanhwete wɔ asase so.”
5 And he came down Yahweh to see the city and the tower which they had built [the] children of humankind.
Awurade siane firii soro baa fam, bɛhunuu kuro kɛseɛ a wɔrekyekyere no ne abantenten a wɔresi no.
6 And he said Yahweh here! a people one and a language one [belongs] to all of them and this [is] beginning they to do and now not it will be withheld from them all that they will plan to do.
Afei, Awurade kaa sɛ, “Sɛ nnipa korɔ a wɔka kasa baako afiti aseɛ redi saa dwuma yi a, ɛnneɛ biribiara a wɔbɔ wɔn tirim sɛ wɔbɛyɛ no renyɛ wɔn den.
7 Give! let us go down and let us confuse there language their that not they will hear each [the] language of neighbor his.
Mommra na yɛnkɔ asase so, na yɛnkɔtoto wɔn kasa, na obiara nya ne kasa, sɛdeɛ obiara nte ne yɔnko kasa.”
8 And he scattered Yahweh them from there over [the] surface of all the earth and they ceased to build the city.
Ɛnam yei so maa Awurade hwetee nnipa no nyinaa mu, ma wɔpetee asase so nyinaa, ma wɔgyaee kuro kɛseɛ no kyekyere.
9 There-fore someone called name its Babel for there he confused Yahweh [the] language of all the earth and from there he scattered them Yahweh over [the] surface of all the earth.
Ɛno enti na wɔfrɛɛ kuro kɛseɛ no Babel, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛhɔ na Awurade totoo kasa baako a na wɔka wɔ ewiase nyinaa saa ɛberɛ no, maa wɔn kasa hodoɔ. Ɛfiri hɔ na Awurade hwetee nnipa no nyinaa mu, ma wɔpetee asase so nyinaa.
