Genesis 11
1 And the whole earth is of one pronunciation, and of the same words,
Bara sana addunyaan guutuun afaan tokkoo fi haasaa tokko qaba ture.
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;
Namoonni akkuma gara baʼa biiftuutti godaananiin, Shineʼaar keessatti lafa diriiraa argatanii achi qubatan.
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.
Isaanis, “Kottaa mee xuubii hojjennee ibiddaan gubnaa” waliin jedhan. Isaanis qooda dhagaa, xuubiitti fayyadaman; hapheedhaaf immoo leeleetti fayyadaman.
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.'
Ergasii, “Kottaa mee akka ofii keenyaa maqaa argannuu fi akka addunyaa guutuu irra hin bibittinnoofneef magaalaa gamoon isaa samii qaqqabu tokko ijaarrannaa” jedhan.
5 And Jehovah cometh down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men have builded;
Waaqayyo garuu magaalaa fi gamoo isaan ijaaraa turan sana ilaaluuf gad buʼe.
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.
Waaqayyos akkana jedhe; “Erga isaan akka saba tokko kan afaanuma tokko dubbatuutti waan kana hojjechuu jalqabanii, yoos amma wanni isaan hojjechuuf karoorfatan kan isaaniif hin dandaʼamne tokko iyyuu hin jiraatu.
7 Give help, let us go down, and mingle there their pronunciation, so that a man doth not understand the pronunciation of his companion.'
Kottaa mee gad buunee, akka isaan wal hin hubanneef afaan isaanii waliin dhoofnaa!”
8 And Jehovah doth scatter them from thence over the face of all the earth, and they cease to build the city;
Kanaafuu Waaqayyo achii isaan baasee lafa hunda irra isaan bittinneesse; isaanis magaalaa ijaaruu dhiisan.
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.
Waan Waaqayyo achitti afaan addunyaa hunda waliin makeef iddoon sun Baabilon jedhame; Waaqayyo iddoo sanaa isaan baasee lafa hunda irra isaan bittinneesse.
10 These [are] births of Shem: Shem [is] a son of an hundred years, and begetteth Arphaxad two years after the deluge.

28 and Haran dieth in the presence of Terah his father, in the land of his birth, in Ur of the Chaldees.
Haaraan utuma abbaan isaa Taaraan jiruu Uuri biyya Kaldootaa keessatti lafuma itti dhalatetti duʼe.
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.
Abraamii fi Naahoor niitii fuudhan. Maqaan niitii Abraam Saaraa, maqaan niitii Naahoor immoo Miilkaa ture. Miilkaan intala Haaraan. Haaraan kun immoo abbaa Miikaatii fi Yiskaa ture.
30 And Sarai is barren — she hath no child.
Saaraan dhabduu turte; ijoollees hin deenye.
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.
Taaraan ilma isaa Abraamin, ilma ilma isaa jechuunis Loox ilma Haaraanii fi niitii ilma isaa jechuunis Saaraa niitii Abraam fudhatee Kanaʼaan dhaquuf, Uuri biyya Kaldootaatii walii wajjin baʼan; garuu yeroo Kaaraan gaʼanitti achuma qubatan.
