Jenèz 11
1 Nan konmansman, tout moun sou latè te pale yon sèl lang, yonn te konprann lòt.
And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
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 it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.
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, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for 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.
And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top [may reach] unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
5 Seyè a desann pou l' wè lavil la ansanm ak gwo kay won moun yo t'ap bati a.
And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children 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, Behold, the people [is] one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
7 Bon. N'ap desann, n'ap mele lang yo. Konsa, yonn p'ap ka konprann sa lòt ap di.
Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.
8 Se konsa Seyè a gaye yo toupatou sou latè. Yo sispann bati lavil la.
So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.
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 is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.

25 Apre sa, li viv sandiznevan (119 an) ankò. Li te fè lòt pitit gason ak pitit fi.
And Nahor lived after he begat Terah an hundred and nineteen years, and begat sons and daughters.
26 Terak te gen swasanndizan lè li fè twa pitit gason yo rele Abram, Nakò ak Aran.
And Terah lived seventy years, and begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
27 Men pitit ak pitit pitit Terak yo: Terak te papa Abram, Nakò ak Aran. Aran te papa Lòt.
Now these [are] the generations of Terah: Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot.
28 Aran mouri anvan papa l'. Li mouri lavil Our nan peyi Kalde kote l' te fèt la.
And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees.
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.
And Abram and Nahor took them wives: the name of Abram’s wife [was] Sarai; and the name of Nahor’s 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; she [had] no child.
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.
And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran his son’s son, and Sarai his daughter in law, his son Abram’s wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Haran, and dwelt there.
32 Se la Terak mouri. Li te gen desansenkan (205 an).
And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years: and Terah died in Haran.
