Genesis 11
1 At first, all the people in [MTY] the world spoke the same language [DOU].
Ie henane zay, raike ty fivimby naho fisaontsi’ ze kila ondaty.
2 As people moved further east, they arrived at a plain in Babylonia region and began to live there.
Aa ie niombotse boak’ atiñanañe le nandoak’ an-tane atao Sinare naho nanjo motombey vaho nañialo eo.
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.
Le nifanaontsy ty hoe: Antao hamboatse birìke oroañe soa. Nisolo vato ty birike’ iareo vaho solin-tane ty fanosoha’e.
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!”
Le hoe iereo: Antao hañoren-drova naho fitilik’ abo aman-dengo mitiotiotse an-dikerañe añe vaho hanoeñe tahinañe tika, tsy mone hivarakaike an-tarehe’ ty tane toy.
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.
Nizotso mb’eo t’Iehovà hivazoho i rovay naho i fitilik’abo ranjie’ o ana’ ondatioo.
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]!
Le hoe t’Iehovà, Hehe t’ie ondaty mitokañe, songa aman-tsaontsy raike, le ingo ty fifotoran-draha’e, ie henaneo tsy eo ty hahasebañe ze safirie’ iereo hanoeñe.
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.”
Aa le antao hizotso mb’eo hañalikàlike ty fivimbi’ iareo tsy hifankahazo saontsy
8 So Yahweh did that. As a result, the people stopped building the city, and Yahweh caused them to disperse all over the earth.
aa le nampiparatsiahe’ Iehovà ambone’ ty tane toy iereo vaho nijihetse ty fañoreñañe i rovay.
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.
Ie nanoeñe: Bavèle, amy te navalitsikota’ Iehovà ze hene saontsi’ ty tane toy vaho nampiparaitahe’ Iehovà ambone’ ty tane bey toy iereo.
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.
Izay ty fanoñona’ i Seme. Ie roe taoñe añe i fiempoempoañey, le ni-zato taoñe t’i Seme naho nisamake i Arpaksade.
11 After Arpachshad was born, Shem lived 500 more years and had more sons and daughters.
Ie nahatoly i Arpaksade t’i Seme le mbe niveloñe 500 taoñe nisamak’ ana-dahy naho anak’ampela.
12 When Arphachshad was 35 years old, he became the father of Shelah.
Ie niveloñe 35 taoñe t’i Arpaksade le nisamake i Selake,

16 When Eber was 34 years old, he became the father of Peleg.
Niveloñe 34 taoñe t’i Evre vaho nisamake i Pelege,
17 After Peleg was born, Eber lived 430 more years and became the father of other sons and daughters.
ie nahatoly i Pelege t’i Evre le mbe niveloñe 430 taoñe nisamak’ ana-dahy naho anak’ ampela.
18 When Peleg was 30 years old, he became the father of Reu.
Niveloñe 30 taoñe t’i Pelege vaho nisamake i Rehò,
19 After Reu was born, Peleg lived 209 more years and became the father of other sons and daughters.
ie nahatoly i Rehò t’i Pelege le mbe niveloñe 209 taoñe nisamak’ ana-dahy naho anak’ ampela.
20 When Reu was 32 years old, he became the father of Serug.
Niveloñe 32 taoñe t’i Rehò vaho nisamake i Seroge,
21 After Serug was born, Reu lived 207 more years and became the father of other sons and daughters.
ie nahatoly i Seroge t’i Rehò le niveloñe 207 taoñe nisamak’ ana-dahy naho anak’ampela.
22 When Serug was 30 years old, he became the father of Nahor.
Niveloñe 30 taoñe t’i Seroge vaho nisamake i Nakhore,
23 After Nahor was born, Serug lived 200 more years and became the father of other sons and daughters.
aa naho nahatoly i Nakhore t’i Seroge le niveloñe 200 taoñe nisamak’ ana-dahy naho anak’ ampela.
24 When Nahor was 29 years old, he became the father of Terah.
Niveloñe 29 taoñe t’i Nakore te nisamake i Tèrake,
25 After Terah was born, Nahor lived 119 more years and became the father of other sons and daughters.
aa naho nahatoly i Terake t’i Nakore le niveloñe 119 taoñe nisamak’ ana-dahy naho anak’ ampela.
26 When Terah was 70 years old, his son Abram was born. Later, two other sons, Nahor and Haran were born.
Ie niveloñe 70 taoñe t’i Teràhke le nisamake i Avrame, naho i Nakhore, vaho i Kharane.
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.
Izay ty famoliliañe i Teràke. Nisamake i Avrame naho i Nakhore naho i Kharane t’i Terahke. Le nisamake i Lote t’i Kharane.
28 Haran died before his father died. He died in Ur [city] in Chaldea land, where he was born.
Ie mbe veloñe i Teràhke Rae’ey le nihomake e Ore’ o nte-Kasdio t’i Kharane, an-tane nisamaha’e ao.
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.
Songa nañenga valy t’i Avrame naho i Nakhore. Sarae ty tahina’ ty vali’ i Avrame, vaho Milkae, ana’ i Kharane ty tahina’ ty vali’ i Nakhore. Rae’ i Milkae naho Iskà t’i Kharane.
30 Sarai was unable to bear any children.
Betsiterake t’i Sarae, tsy aman’ anake.
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.
Ninday i Avrame ana’e naho i Lote ana’ i Kharane, anan’ana’e, vaho i Sarae vinanto’e ampela, vali’ i Avrame ana’e, t’i Terake, vaho nienga i Ore’ o nte-Kasdìo hionjom-b’e Kanàne fe nivotrake e Kharane, vaho nimoneñe ao.
32 When Terah was 205 years old, he died there in Haran.
Ty andro niveloma’ i Terahke le 205 taoñe. Nihomake e Kharane ao t’i Terahke.
