Mose 1 11
1 Le ɣe ma ɣi me la, amegbetɔƒome blibo la doa gbe ɖeka ko.
And the whole earth was of one language and of one speech.
2 Esi amewo de asi agbɔsɔsɔ ɖe edzi me la, woɖo ta ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo, eye woke ɖe anyigba aɖe si sɔ la ŋu le Sinar. Eteƒe medidi kura hafi amewo sɔ gbɔ ɖe afi sia o.
And it came to pass, as they journeyed east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they dwelt there.
3 Wogblɔ na wo nɔewo be, “Miva, mina míame anyikpewo, míaƒo dzo wo nyuie.” Wowɔ anyikpe ŋu dɔ ɖe kpe ŋutɔ teƒe kple aŋɔ yibɔ ɖe anyi teƒe.
And they said one to another, Come, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and they had slime for mortar.
4 Woyi edzi gblɔ be, “Miva, mina míatso du na mía ɖokui, eye míawɔ gbetakpɔxɔ kɔkɔ aɖe wòayi aɖatɔ dziƒo, be míaƒe ŋkɔ nade du ne míagakaka ɖe anyigba katã dzi o.”
And they said, Come, let us build a city for us, and a tower, and its top in the heavens. And let us make a name for us, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
5 Ke esi Yehowa va kpɔ dua kple mɔ si tum amegbetɔviwo nɔ la,
And Jehovah came down to see the city and the tower, which the sons of men built.
6 egblɔ be, “Ne woate ŋu awɔ nu siawo katã fifia, esi wònye azɔ koe wodze sii be gbe ɖeka gblɔm yewole, eye dukɔ ɖeka yewonye la, mibu nu si woava wɔ emegbe la ŋu kpɔ! Naneke meli si woado kpo wɔwɔ o.
And Jehovah said, Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language, and this is what they begin to do. And now nothing will be withheld from them, which they propose to do.
7 Mina míaɖi ayi anyigba dzi, eye míatɔtɔ woƒe gbe ale be womagase wo nɔewo gɔme o!”
Come, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand each other's speech.
8 Ale Yehowa ka wo katã hlẽ ɖe anyigba blibo la dzi. Ale du la tsotso nu tso.
So Jehovah scattered them abroad from there upon the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city.
9 Eya ta wona ŋkɔ du ma be Babel si gɔmee nye, “Tɔtɔ,” elabena afi ma Yehowa tɔtɔ gbe na amewo le, eye wokaka ɖe afi sia afi le anyigba blibo la dzi.
Therefore the name of it was called Babel, because Jehovah there confounded the language of all the earth, and from there Jehovah scattered them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
