Jenèz 11
1 Alò, tout latè te sèvi avèk menm lang avèk menm mo.
And the whole earth is of one pronunciation, and of the same words,
2 Konsa, li te rive ke pandan yo t ap vwayaje vè lès, ke yo te twouve yon gran plèn nan peyi ki rele Schinear, e yo te vin rete la.
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 Yo te di youn ak lòt: “Vini, annou fè brik e brile yo byen brile.” Epi yo te sèvi ak brik pou wòch, e yo te sèvi ak azfòt kòm mòtye.
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 Yo te di: “Vini, annou bati yon gran vil pou pwòp tèt nou, avèk yon kay wo tou won avèk yon twati ki va lonje rive jis nan syèl la. Konsa, annou fè pou pwòp tèt nou yon gran non, sof ke sa, nou va vin gaye toupatou sou tout sifas tè a.”
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 SENYÈ a te vin desann pou wè gran vil avèk kay wo tou won ke fis a lòm yo te fè a.
And Jehovah cometh down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men have builded;
6 Senyè a te di: “Gade byen, se yon sèl pèp yo ye, e yo tout gen menm lang, epi men sa ke yo kòmanse fè. Konsa, nenpòt sa yo eseye fè, yo p ap anpeche.
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 Vini, annou desann e konfonn langaj yo pou yo pa konprann lang youn lòt.”
Give help, let us go down, and mingle there their pronunciation, so that a man doth not understand the pronunciation of his companion.'
8 Pou sa, SENYÈ a te gaye yo toupatou sou tout tè a, e yo te sispann bati gran vil la.
And Jehovah doth scatter them from thence over the face of all the earth, and they cease to build the city;
9 Pou koz sa a, yo te rele non vil la Babel, akoz ke se la, SENYÈ a te konfonn langaj yo nan tout latè. Depi la, SENYÈ a te gaye yo toupatou sifas a tout tè a.
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.
10 Sa yo se te achiv pou tout jenerasyon a Sem yo. Sem te gen laj santan, lè l te vin papa a Arpacschad, dez ane apre delij la.
These [are] births of Shem: Shem [is] a son of an hundred years, and begetteth Arphaxad two years after the deluge.
11 Epi Sem te viv senk-santane apre li te vin papa a Arpacschad. Li te gen lòt fis ak fi.
And Shem liveth after his begetting Arphaxad five hundred years, and begetteth sons and daughters.
12 Arpacschad te viv trant-senk ane, lè l te vin papa a Schélach.
And Arphaxad hath lived five and thirty years, and begetteth Salah.
13 Konsa, Arpacschad te viv kat-san-twa lane apre li te vin papa a Schélach, e li te gen lòt fis ak fi.
And Arphaxad liveth after his begetting Salah four hundred and three years, and begetteth sons and daughters.
14 Schélach te viv trantan, e li te vin papa a Héber;
And Salah hath lived thirty years, and begetteth Eber.
15 epi Schélach te viv kat-san-twazane apre li te vin papa a Héber. Li te gen lòt fis ak fi.
And Salah liveth after his begetting Eber four hundred and three years, and begetteth sons and daughters.
16 Héber te viv pandan trant-kat ane, lè l te devni papa a Péleg;
And Eber liveth four and thirty years, and begetteth Peleg.
17 epi konsa, Héber te viv pandan kat-san-trant ane apre li te vin papa a Péleg, e li te gen lòt fis ak fi.
And Eber liveth after his begetting Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and begetteth sons and daughters.
18 Péleg te viv pandan trant ane, lè l te vin papa a Reu.
And Peleg liveth thirty years, and begetteth Reu.
19 Konsa, Péleg te viv pandan de-san-nèf ane apre li te vin papa a Rehu, e li te gen lòt fis ak fi.
And Peleg liveth after his begetting Reu two hundred and nine years, and begetteth sons and daughters.
20 Rehu te viv pandan trant-de ane, lè l te vin papa a Serug.
And Reu liveth two and thirty years, and begetteth Serug.
21 Rehu te viv pandan de-san-sèt ane apre li te vin papa a Serug, e li te gen lòt fis ak fi.
And Reu liveth after his begetting Serug two hundred and seven years, and begetteth sons and daughters.
22 Serug te viv pandan trant ane lè l te vin papa a Nachor.
And Serug liveth thirty years, and begetteth Nahor.
23 Epi Serug te viv de-san ane apre li te vin papa a Nachor, e li te fè lòt fis ak fi.
And Serug liveth after his begetting Nahor two hundred years, and begetteth sons and daughters.
24 Nachor te viv pandan vent-nèf ane, e li te vin papa a Térach;
And Nahor liveth nine and twenty years, and begetteth Terah.
25 epi Nachor te viv san-diz-nèf ane apre li te vin papa a Térach, e li te gen lòt fis ak fi.
And Nahor liveth after his begetting Terah an hundred and nineteen years, and begetteth sons and daughters.
26 Térach te viv swasann-dis ane, e li te vin papa a Abram, Nachor, ak Haran.
And Terah liveth seventy years, and begetteth Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
27 Alò sa yo se achiv pou tout jenerasyon a Térach yo. Térach te vin papa Abram, Nachor, avèk Haran. Haran te fè Lot.
And these [are] births of Terah: Terah hath begotten Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran hath begotten Lot;
28 Haran te mouri nan prezans papa li, Térach nan peyi nesans li, nan Ur pou Kaldeyen yo.
and Haran dieth in the presence of Terah his father, in the land of his birth, in Ur of the Chaldees.
29 Abram avèk Nachor te pran madanm yo pou yo menm. Non a madanm Abram nan se te Saraï, e non a madanm Nachor a se te Milca, fi a Haran an, papa a Milcah avèk Jisca.
And Abram and Nahor take to themselves wives; the name of Abram's wife [is] Sarai, and the name of Nahor's wife [is] Milcah, daughter of Haran, father of Milcah, and father of Iscah.
30 Saraï te esteril. Li pa t fè pitit.
And Sarai is barren — she hath no child.
31 Térach te pran Abram, fis li a, e Lot, fis Haran an, pitit a pitit li, ak Saraï, bèlfi li, madanm a Abram, fis li. Konsa, yo te kite Ur a Kaldeyen yo ansanm, pou yo ta kapab antre nan peyi Canaan an. Yo te ale jis rive Haran, e yo te rete la.
And Terah taketh Abram his son, and Lot, son of Haran, his son's son, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, wife of Abram his son, and they go out with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go towards the land of Canaan; and they come unto Charan, and dwell there.
32 Jou a Térach yo te de-san-senk ane. Térach te vin mouri Haran.
And the days of Terah are two hundred and five years, and Terah dieth in Charan.
