Genesis 11
1 At first, all the people in [MTY] the world spoke the same language [DOU].
E kindeno ogendini duto manie piny ne wacho dhok achiel kod weche machal.
2 As people moved further east, they arrived at a plain in Babylonia region and began to live there.
Kane gidhi yo wuok chiengʼ, negiyudo pap moro e piny Shinar mine gidak kanyo.
3 Then they said to each other, “(Hey/Come on), let’s form bricks and bake them to make them hard, for building!” So they used bricks instead of stones, and used tar instead of (mortar/a mixture of cement, sand and lime) to hold them together.
Negiwacho e kindgi giwegi niya, “Biuru walosuru matafare kendo wawangʼ-gi mochiek maber.” Negitiyo gi matafare kar kite kendo lowo kar simiti.
4 They said, “Hey, let’s build a city for ourselves! We also ought to build a very high tower that reaches up to the sky! In that way we will become famous! If we do not do this, we will be scattered all over the earth!”
Eka negiwacho niya, “Biuru wager dala maduongʼ man-gi ohinga mabor machopo nyaka e polo mondo omi walos nyingwa kendo kik wabed moke e kor piny.”
5 So they began to build the city and the tower. Then Yahweh looked down and saw the city and the tower that those [puny] men were building.
To Jehova Nyasaye nolor piny mondo one dala maduongʼ kod ohinga mabor mane dhano gero.
6 Yahweh said, “These people are one group that all speak the same language. If they have begun to do this now, then (there is nothing that they will decide to do that will be impossible for them/they will be able to do whatever they decide to do) [LIT]!
Jehova Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Ka gin oganda achiel, mawacho dhok achiel ema gisechako timo ma, kara gimoro amora ma gichano timo ok nyal tamogi.
7 So, okay/now, we will go down there and cause there to be many different languages, so that they will not be able to understand each other.”
Biuru, kendo wadhi mondo wapog dhogi mondo kik giwinjre dhok ngʼato gi ngʼato.”
8 So Yahweh did that. As a result, the people stopped building the city, and Yahweh caused them to disperse all over the earth.
Omiyo Jehova Nyasaye nokeyogi koa kanyo nyaka e piny duto kendo ne giweyo gero dalano.
9 The city was called Babel which means ‘confusion’, because there Yahweh caused the people to become confused because the people [MTY] spoke [different languages that the others could not understand], not just one language. From there Yahweh caused them to disperse all over the earth.
Mano emomiyo ne iluongo dalano ni Babel, nikech kanyo ema Jehova Nyasaye nopogoe dho ogendini kendo okeyogi e pinje duto.
10 (This is a bigger list/I will now tell you more) of the descendants of Shem: Two years after the flood, when Shem was 100 years old, he became the father of Arpachshad.
Ma e nonro mar joka Shem. Higni ariyo bangʼ ataro ka Shem ja-higni mia achiel nonywolo Arfaksad.
11 After Arpachshad was born, Shem lived 500 more years and had more sons and daughters.

13 After Shelah was born, Arpachshad lived 403 more years and became the father of more sons and daughters.
Kendo bangʼ kane osenywolo Shela, Arfaksad nodak kuom higni mia angʼwen gadek kendo nonywolo yawuowi kod nyiri mamoko.

Kendo bangʼ kane osenywolo Eber, Shela nodak higni mia angʼwen gadek kendo nonywolo yawuowi kod nyiri mamoko.
16 When Eber was 34 years old, he became the father of Peleg.

17 After Peleg was born, Eber lived 430 more years and became the father of other sons and daughters.
Bangʼ kane osenywolo Peleg, Eber nodak kuom higni mia angʼwen gi piero adek kendo nonywolo yawuowi kod nyiri mamoko.

Kendo bangʼ nywolo Serug, Reu nodak higni mia ariyo gabiriyo kendo nonywolo yawuowi kod nyiri mamoko.

Kendo bangʼ kane osenywolo Tera, Nahor nodak higni mia achiel gapar gochiko kendo nonywolo yawuowi kod nyiri mamoko.
26 When Terah was 70 years old, his son Abram was born. Later, two other sons, Nahor and Haran were born.
Bangʼ ka Tera nosedak higni piero abiriyo nonywolo Abram, Nahor kod Haran.
27 (This is/I will now give) a list of the descendants of Terah: Terah’s sons were Abram, Nahor, and Haran. Haran’s son was named Lot.
Ma e nonro mar Tera. Tera nonywolo Abram, Nahor kod Haran. Kendo Haran nonywolo Lut.
28 Haran died before his father died. He died in Ur [city] in Chaldea land, where he was born.
Haran notho e dalagi miluongo ni Ur manie piny Kaldea kane Tera wuon mare pod ngima.
29 Abram and Nahor both married. Abram’s wife was named Sarai, and Nahor’s wife was named Milcah. Milcah and her younger sister Iscah were the daughters of Haran.
Abram kod Nahor nokendo. Nying chi Abram ne Sarai kendo nying chi Nahor ne Milka; mane nyar Haran; wuon Milka kod Iska.
30 Sarai was unable to bear any children.
To Sarai ne en migumba; nikech ne ok onywol.
31 Terah decided to leave Ur and go to live in Canaan land. So he took his son Abram and his grandson Lot, the son of Haran, and Abram’s wife Sarai with him. But instead of going to Canaan, they stopped at Haran [town] and lived there.
Tera nokawo Abram wuode, gi Lut nyakware ma ka wuode Haran kod Sarai, chi Abram mi giwuok Ur e piny Kaldea ka gidhi Kanaan. To kane gichopo Haran, negidak kanyo.
32 When Terah was 205 years old, he died there in Haran.
Tera nodak higni mia ariyo gabich kendo notho Haran.
