Mose 1 11
1 Le ɣe ma ɣi me la, amegbetɔƒome blibo la doa gbe ɖeka ko.
And the whole earth is of one pronunciation, and of the same words,
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 cometh to pass, in their journeying from the east, that they find a valley in the land of Shinar, and dwell 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 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.
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 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.'
5 Ke esi Yehowa va kpɔ dua kple mɔ si tum amegbetɔviwo nɔ la,
And Jehovah cometh down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men have builded;
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 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.
7 Mina míaɖi ayi anyigba dzi, eye míatɔtɔ woƒe gbe ale be womagase wo nɔewo gɔme o!”
Give help, let us go down, and mingle there their pronunciation, so that a man doth not understand the pronunciation of his companion.'
8 Ale Yehowa ka wo katã hlẽ ɖe anyigba blibo la dzi. Ale du la tsotso nu tso.
And Jehovah doth scatter them from thence over the face of all the earth, and they cease to build 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 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.
