Genesis 11
1 At first, all the people in [MTY] the world spoke the same language [DOU].
Ke mutawauk ah, kain kas sefanna lun mwet faclu nufon, ac mwet uh orekmakin pusra sefanna.
2 As people moved further east, they arrived at a plain in Babylonia region and began to live there.
Ke elos forfor layen kutulap, elos sun sie acn tupasrpasr in acn Babylonia ac oakwuki we.
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.
Elos fahk nu sin sie sin sie, “Fahsru, kut in orek brick ac omunla in ku.” Ouinge elos orek brick mwe musa, ac sang tar folsani nu sie.
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!”
Na elos fahk, “Inge kut ac musaela sie siti ac sie tower ma ac sun acn inkusrao, inesr in mau ku in pwengpeng, ac kut in tia musalelik nu fin faclu nufon.”
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.
Na LEUM GOD El oatula ac liye siti sac ac tower se ma mwet uh musai,
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]!
ac El fahk, “Ingena, mwet inge ma sefanna ac elos sramsram ke kas sefanna. Tufahna pa inge mutaweyen ma elos ac mau oru uh. Ac tia paht na elos ac ku in oru kutena ma su elos ac lungse oru!
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.”
Fahsru, kut oatula ac akfohsyauk kas lalos, elos in tia kalem ke kas lun sie sin sie.”
8 So Yahweh did that. As a result, the people stopped building the city, and Yahweh caused them to disperse all over the earth.
Ouinge LEUM GOD El akfahsryeloselik nu fin faclu nufon, ac elos tila musai siti sac.
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.
Siti sac pangpang Babylon, mweyen LEUM GOD El akfohsyauk kas lun mwet nukewa we, ac akfahsryeloselik nukewa liki acn we nu fin faclu nufon.

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.
Pa inge fwilin tulik natul Terah, su papa tumal Abram, Nahor, ac Haran. Haran pa papa tumal Lot,
28 Haran died before his father died. He died in Ur [city] in Chaldea land, where he was born.
ac Haran el misa yen sel in acn Ur in Babylonia, ke papa tumal ah srakna moul.
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 el payukyak sel Sarai, ac Nahor el payukyak sel Milcah, acn natul Haran, su oayapa papa tumal Iscah.
30 Sarai was unable to bear any children.

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.
Terah el eisal Abram wen natul, ac Lot, wen natul Haran ma lel Abram, ac Sarai acn talupal, su mutan kial Abram, ac elos welul som liki siti Ur in Babylonia nu in facl Canaan. Elos som nwe sun acn Haran ac oakwuki we.
