Jenèz 11
1 Nan konmansman, tout moun sou latè te pale yon sèl lang, yonn te konprann lòt.
Then the whole earth was of one language and one speache.
2 Apre yo pati soti kote solèy leve a, yo rive nan yon plenn nan peyi Chenea. Yo moute kay yo la, yo rete.
And as they went from the East, they found a plaine in the land of Shinar, and there they abode.
3 Lè sa a, yonn di lòt. Mezanmi, vini non! Ann fè brik. Ann kwit yo nan dife. Se konsa, yo pran brik sèvi wòch pou bati kay, yo pran asfat sèvi mòtye.
And they said one to another, Come, let vs make bricke, and burne it in the fire. So they had bricke for stone, and slime had they in steade of morter.
4 Apre sa, yo di. Annou wè! Ann bati yon gwo lavil pou nou rete ak yon gwo gwo kay tout won byen wo ki rive jouk nan syèl la. Konsa tout moun va respekte nou, yo p'ap ka gaye nou toupatou sou latè.
Also they said, Goe to, let vs builde vs a citie and a towre, whose top may reache vnto the heauen, that we may get vs a name, lest we be scattered vpon the whole earth.
5 Seyè a desann pou l' wè lavil la ansanm ak gwo kay won moun yo t'ap bati a.
But the Lord came downe, to see the citie and towre, which the sonnes of men builded.
6 Epi li di. Koulye a, gade! Yo tout fè yon sèl pèp. Yo tout yo pale yon sèl lang. Gade sa yo konmanse ap fè. Talè konsa y'ap pare pou yo fè sa yo vle.
And the Lord said, Beholde, the people is one, and they all haue one language, and this they begin to doe, neither can they now be stopped from whatsoeuer they haue imagined to do.
7 Bon. N'ap desann, n'ap mele lang yo. Konsa, yonn p'ap ka konprann sa lòt ap di.
Come on, let vs goe downe, and there confound their language, that euery one perceiue not anothers speache.
8 Se konsa Seyè a gaye yo toupatou sou latè. Yo sispann bati lavil la.
So ye Lord scattered them from thence vpon all the earth, and they left off to build the citie.
9 Se poutèt sa yo rele lavil la Babèl, paske se la Seyè a te mele lang tout moun ki rete sou latè, li fè yo pati, li gaye yo toupatou sou latè.
Therefore the name of it was called Babel, because the Lord did there confounde the language of all the earth: from thence then did the Lord scatter them vpon all the earth.
10 Men pitit pitit Sèm yo. Dezan apre inondasyon an, Sèm te gen santan (100 an) lè li fè yon pitit gason yo rele Apachad.
These are the generations of Shem: Shem was an hundreth yeere olde, and begate Arpachshad two yeere after the flood.
11 Apre sa, li viv senksanzan (500 an) ankò. Li te fè lòt pitit gason ak pitit fi.
And Shem liued, after he begate Arpachshad, fiue hundreth yeeres, and begate sonnes and daughters.
12 Apachad te gen trannsenkan lè li te fè yon pitit gason yo rele Chela.
Also Arpachshad liued fiue and thirtie yeeres, and begate Shelah.
13 Apre sa, li viv katsantwazan (403 an) ankò. Li te fè lòt pitit gason ak pitit fi.
And Arpachshad liued, after he begate Shelah, foure hundreth and three yeeres, and begate sonnes and daughters.
14 Chela te gen trantan lè li fè yon pitit gason yo rele Ebè.
And Shelah liued thirtie yeeres, and begat Eber.
15 Apre sa, li viv katsantwazan (403 an) ankò. Li te fè lòt pitit gason ak pitit fi.

Likewise Eber liued foure and thirtie yeres, and begate Peleg.

18 Pelèg te gen trantan lè li fè yon pitit gason yo rele Reou.
And Peleg liued thirtie yeeres, and begate Reu.
19 Apre sa, li viv desannevan (209 an) ankò. Li te fè lòt pitit gason ak pitit fi.
And Peleg liued, after he begate Reu, two hundreth and nine yeeres, and begate sonnes and daughters.
20 Reou te gen tranndezan lè li fè yon pitit gason yo rele Sewoug.
Also Reu liued two and thirtie yeeres, and begate Serug.
21 Apre sa, li viv desansetan (207 an) ankò. Li fè lòt pitit gason ak pitit fi.
So Reu liued, after he begate Serug, two hundreth and seuen yeeres, and begate sonnes and daughters.
22 Sewoug te gen trantan lè li fè yon pitit gason yo rele Nakò.
Moreouer Serug liued thirtie yeeres, and begate Nahor.
23 Apre sa, li viv desanzan (200 an) ankò. Li te fè lòt pitit gason ak pitit fi.
And Serug liued, after he begate Nahor, two hundreth yeeres, and begate sonnes and daughters.
24 Nakò te gen ventnevan lè li fè yon pitit gason yo rele Terak.
And Nahor liued nine and twentie yeeres, and begate Terah.
25 Apre sa, li viv sandiznevan (119 an) ankò. Li te fè lòt pitit gason ak pitit fi.
So Nahor liued, after he begate Terah, an hundreth and nineteene yeeres, and begat sonnes and daughters.
26 Terak te gen swasanndizan lè li fè twa pitit gason yo rele Abram, Nakò ak Aran.
So Terah liued seuentie yeeres, and begate Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
27 Men pitit ak pitit pitit Terak yo: Terak te papa Abram, Nakò ak Aran. Aran te papa Lòt.
Nowe these are the generations of Terah: Terah begate Abram, Nahor, and Haran: and Haran begate Lot.
28 Aran mouri anvan papa l'. Li mouri lavil Our nan peyi Kalde kote l' te fèt la.
Then Haran died before Terah his father in the land of his natiuitie, in Vr of the Caldees.
29 Abram ak Nakò te fè pozisyon. Abram marye ak Sarayi, Nakò marye ak Milka, pitit fi Aran. Aran te gen yon lòt pitit ankò yo te rele Jiska.
So Abram and Nahor tooke them wiues. The name of Abrams wife was Sarai, and the name of Nahors wife Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah.
30 Sarayi pa t' gen pitit, li pa t' ka fè pitit.
But Sarai was barren, and had no childe.
31 Terak pran pitit li, Abram, pitit pitit li, Lòt, ki te pitit Aran, ansanm ak bèlfi li Sarayi ki te madanm Abram, pitit li. Li pati ak yo, li kite lavil Our nan peyi Kalde pou li ale nan peyi Kanaran. Men lè yo rive lavil Karan, yo te rete la.
Then Terah tooke Abram his sonne, and Lot the sonne of Haran, his sonnes sonne, and Sarai his daughter in lawe, his sonne Abrams wife: and they departed together from Vr of the Caldees, to goe into the land of Canaan, and they came to Haran, and dwelt there.
32 Se la Terak mouri. Li te gen desansenkan (205 an).
So the dayes of Terah were two hundreth and fiue yeeres, and Terah died in Haran.
