Genesis 11
1 And the whole earth is of one pronunciation, and of the same words,
Lẹ́yìn náà, gbogbo àgbáyé sì ń sọ èdè kan ṣoṣo.
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;
Bí àwọn ènìyàn ṣe ń tẹ̀síwájú lọ sí ìhà ìlà-oòrùn, wọ́n rí pẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀ kan ní ilẹ̀ Ṣinari, wọ́n sì tẹ̀dó síbẹ̀.
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.
Wọ́n sì wí fún ara wọn pé, “Ẹ wá, ẹ jẹ́ kí a mọ bíríkì kí a sì sún wọ́n jìnà.” Bíríkì ni wọ́n ń lò ní ipò òkúta, àti ọ̀dà ilẹ̀ tí wọn ń lò láti mú wọn papọ̀ dípò ẹfun (òkúta láìmù tí wọ́n fi ń ṣe símẹ́ńtì àti omi).
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.'
Nígbà náà ni wọ́n wí pé, “Ẹ wá, ẹ jẹ́ kí a tẹ ìlú kan dó fún ara wa, kí a sì kọ́ ilé ìṣọ́ kan tí yóò kan ọ̀run, kí a ba à lè ní orúkọ, kí a má sì tú káàkiri sórí gbogbo ilẹ̀ ayé.”
5 And Jehovah cometh down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men have builded;
Ṣùgbọ́n, Olúwa sọ̀kalẹ̀ láti wo ìlú àti ilé ìṣọ́ tí àwọn ènìyàn náà ń kọ́.
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.
Olúwa wí pé, “Bí àwọn ènìyàn bá ń jẹ́ ọ̀kan àti èdè kan tí wọ́n sì bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí í ṣe iṣẹ́ yìí, kò sí ohun tí wọ́n gbèrò tí wọn kò ní le ṣe yọrí.
7 Give help, let us go down, and mingle there their pronunciation, so that a man doth not understand the pronunciation of his companion.'
Ẹ wá, ẹ jẹ́ kí a sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ, kí a da èdè wọn rú kí èdè wọn má ba à yé ara wọn mọ́.”
8 And Jehovah doth scatter them from thence over the face of all the earth, and they cease to build the city;
Olúwa sì tú wọn ká sórí ilẹ̀ gbogbo, wọ́n sì ṣíwọ́ ìlú náà tí wọn ń tẹ̀dó.
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.
Ìdí èyí ni a fi pè é ní Babeli nítorí ní ibẹ̀ ni Olúwa ti da èdè gbogbo ayé rú. Olúwa tí sì tú àwọn ènìyàn ká sí gbogbo orí ilẹ̀ ayé.

Wọ̀nyí ni ìran Tẹra. Tẹra ni baba Abramu, Nahori àti Harani. Harani sì bí Lọti.
28 and Haran dieth in the presence of Terah his father, in the land of his birth, in Ur of the Chaldees.
