< Genesis 11 >

1 And the whole earth is of one pronunciation, and of the same words,
Te vaengah diklai pum ah ol pakhat neh olka thikat laom.
2 and it cometh to pass, in their journeying from the east, that they find a valley in the land of Shinar, and dwell there;
Tedae amih te khothoeng la a puen uh hatah Shinar khohmuen ah kolbawn a hmuh uh tih teah te kho a sak uh.
3 and they say each one to his neighbour, 'Give help, let us make bricks, and burn [them] thoroughly:' and the brick is to them for stone, and the bitumen hath been to them for mortar.
Te vaengah hlang loh a hui taengah, “Halo, laiboeng sai uh sih lamtah hmai neh tik uh sih,” a ti uh. Te dongah lungto yueng la laiboeng te a khueh tih taplai yueng la lungpaat a khueh uh.
4 And they say, 'Give help, let us build for ourselves a city and tower, and its head in the heavens, and make for ourselves a name, lest we be scattered over the face of all the earth.'
Te vaengah, “Lo lah, mamih ham khopuei neh rhaltoengim khaw, a soi te vaan duela sa uh sih. Te dongah mamih ham ming khueh sih, diklai pum kah mikhmuh ah vik n'taekyak uh ve,” a ti uh.
5 And Jehovah cometh down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men have builded;
Tedae khopuei te hmuh ham BOEIPA ha pawk vaengah hlang ca rhoek loh rhaltoengim te ana sak uh.
6 and Jehovah saith, 'Lo, the people [is] one, and one pronunciation [is] to them all, and this it hath dreamed of doing; and now, nothing is restrained from them of that which they have purposed to do.
BOEIPA loh amih he pilnam pakhat neh ol pakhat la boeih a om uh dongah saii ham a mangtaeng uh khaw saii ham a tong uh hatah amih ham lol tlaih pawt la he!
7 Give help, let us go down, and mingle there their pronunciation, so that a man doth not understand the pronunciation of his companion.'
Ceh, suntla uh sih lamtah amih ol te thoek pah sih. Te daengah ni hlang loh a hui kah hmuilai te a yaak pawt eh?,” a ti.
8 And Jehovah doth scatter them from thence over the face of all the earth, and they cease to build the city;
Te dongah BOEIPA loh amih te diklai hman boeih ah a taekyak tih khopuei thoh ham khaw a toeng uh.
9 therefore hath [one] called its name Babel, for there hath Jehovah mingled the pronunciation of all the earth, and from thence hath Jehovah scattered them over the face of all the earth.
He kongah BOEIPA loh diklai pum kah ol he pahoi a thoek pah tih a ming te Babylon a sui. Te lamlong tah BOEIPA loh amih te diklai hman boeih ah a taekyak.
10 These [are] births of Shem: Shem [is] a son of an hundred years, and begetteth Arphaxad two years after the deluge.
Hekah he Shem kah rhuirhong ni. Shem te kum yakhat lo ca coeng tih tuilii kum phoeiah Arpaxad te a sak.

Nakhaw khaw kum kul neh kum ko a lo vaengah Terah te a sak.
25 And Nahor liveth after his begetting Terah an hundred and nineteen years, and begetteth sons and daughters.
Terah te a sak phoeiah Nakhaw khaw kum ya neh kum hlai ko hing tih capa rhoek neh canu rhoek te a sak.
26 And Terah liveth seventy years, and begetteth Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
Terah khaw kum sawmrhih a lo vaengah Abram, Nakhaw, neh Haran te a sak.
27 And these [are] births of Terah: Terah hath begotten Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran hath begotten Lot;
Te phoeiah hekah he Terah kah rhuirhong ni. Terah loh Abram, Nakhaw neh Haran te a sak tih Haran loh Lot te a sak.
28 and Haran dieth in the presence of Terah his father, in the land of his birth, in Ur of the Chaldees.
Tedae Haran te a napa Terah mikhmuh ah a pacaboeina khohmuen Khalden kho Ur ah duek.
29 And Abram and Nahor take to themselves wives; the name of Abram's wife [is] Sarai, and the name of Nahor's wife [is] Milcah, daughter of Haran, father of Milcah, and father of Iscah.
Te phoeiah Abram neh Nakhaw loh yuu a loh rhoi. Abram yuu ming tah Sarai tih Nakhaw yuu ming tah Haran canu Milkah ni. Haran tah Milkah neh Iskah kah a napa ni.
30 And Sarai is barren — she hath no child.
Te vaengah Sarai te yaa la om tih camoe khueh pawh.
31 And Terah taketh Abram his son, and Lot, son of Haran, his son's son, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, wife of Abram his son, and they go out with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go towards the land of Canaan; and they come unto Charan, and dwell there.
Tedae Terah loh a capa Abram neh a capa Haran kah capa Lot khaw, a capa Abram yuu a langa Sarai khaw, a khuen tih Khalden kho Ur lamkah Kanaan khohmuen la caeh ham tun hlah uh dae Haran te a pha uh vaengah teah te kho vik a sak uh.
32 And the days of Terah are two hundred and five years, and Terah dieth in Charan.
Terah kah a tue khohnin he kum yahnih neh kum nga lo. Terah khaw Haran ah duek.
