Farawa 11
1 To, a lokacin, yaren mutanen duniya ɗaya ne, maganarsu kuma ɗaya ce.
Now the earth was of one language and of the same speech.
2 Yayinda mutane suke ta yin ƙaura zuwa gabas, sai suka sami fili a Shinar, suka zauna a can.
And when they were advancing from the east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they dwelt in it.
3 Suka ce wa juna, “Ku zo, mu yi tubula, mu gasa su sosai.” Suka yi amfani da tubula a maimakon duwatsu, kwalta kuma a maimakon laka.
And each one said to his neighbor, “Come, let us make bricks, and bake them with fire.” And they had bricks instead of stones, and pitch instead of mortar.
4 Sa’an nan suka ce, “Ku zo, mu gina wa kanmu birni da hasumiyar da za tă kai har sammai, domin mu yi wa kanmu suna, don kada mu warwatsu ko’ina a doron ƙasa.”
And they said: “Come, let us make a city and a tower, so that its height may reach to heaven. And let us make our name famous before we are divided into all the lands.”
5 Sai Ubangiji ya sauko don yă ga birni da kuma hasumiyar da mutanen suke gini.
Then the Lord descended to see the city and the tower, which the sons of Adam were building.
6 Ubangiji ya ce, “Ga su, su jama’a ɗaya ce, su duka kuwa harshensu guda ne. Wannan kuwa masomi ne kawai na abin da za su iya yi, babu kuma abin da suka yi shirya yi da ba za su iya yi ba.
And he said: “Behold, the people are united, and all have one tongue. And since they have begun to do this, they will not desist from their plans, until they have completed their work.
7 Zo, mu sauka, mu rikitar da harshensu don kada su fahimci juna.”
Therefore, come, let us descend, and in that place confound their tongue, so that they may not listen, each one to the voice of his neighbor.”
8 Saboda haka Ubangiji ya watsar da su daga wurin zuwa ko’ina a doron ƙasa, suka kuwa daina gina birnin.
And so the Lord divided them from that place into all the lands, and they ceased to build the city.
9 Shi ya sa aka kira birnin Babel, domin a can ne Ubangiji ya rikitar da harshen dukan duniya. Daga can Ubangiji ya watsar da su ko’ina a doron ƙasa.
And for this reason, its name was called ‘Babel,’ because in that place the language of the whole earth became confused. And from then on, the Lord scattered them across the face of every region.
10 Wannan shi ne labarin Shem. Shekara biyu bayan ambaliya, sa’ad da Shem ya yi shekara 100, sai ya haifi Arfakshad.
These are the generations of Shem. Shem was one hundred years old when he conceived Arphaxad, two years after the great flood.
11 Bayan ya haifi Arfakshad, Shem ya yi shekara 500, ya haifi waɗansu’ya’ya maza da mata.
And after he conceived Arphaxad, Shem lived for five hundred years, and he conceived sons and daughters.

Next, Arphaxad lived for thirty-five years, and then he conceived Shelah.

And after he conceived Shelah, Arphaxad lived for three hundred and three years, and he conceived sons and daughters.
14 Sa’ad da Shela ya yi shekaru 30, sai ya haifi Eber.
Likewise, Shelah lived for thirty years, and then he conceived Eber.
15 Bayan ya haifi Eber, Shela ya yi shekara 403, ya kuma haifi waɗansu’ya’ya maza da mata.
And after he conceived Eber, Shelah lived for four hundred and three years, and he conceived sons and daughters.
16 Sa’ad da Eber ya yi shekaru 34, sai ya haifi Feleg.
Then Eber lived for thirty-four years, and he conceived Peleg.
17 Bayan ya haifi Feleg, Eber ya yi shekara 430, ya kuma haifi waɗansu’ya’ya maza da mata.
And after he conceived Peleg, Eber lived for four hundred and thirty years, and he conceived sons and daughters.
18 Sa’ad da Feleg ya yi shekaru 30, sai ya haifi Reyu.

Then Reu lived for thirty-two years, and then he conceived Serug.
21 Bayan ya haifi Serug, Reyu ya yi shekara 207, ya kuma haifi waɗansu’ya’ya maza da mata.
Likewise, after he conceived Serug, Reu lived for two hundred and seven years, and he conceived sons and daughters.
22 Sa’ad da Serug ya yi shekaru 30, sai ya haifi Nahor.
In truth, Serug lived for thirty years, and then he conceived Nahor.
23 Bayan ya haifi Nahor, Serug ya yi shekara 200, ya kuma haifi waɗansu’ya’ya maza da mata.
And after he conceived Nahor, Serug lived for two hundred years, and he conceived sons and daughters.
24 Sa’ad da Nahor ya yi shekaru 29, sai ya haifi Tera.
And so Nahor lived for twenty-nine years, and then he conceived Terah.
25 Bayan ya haifi Tera, Nahor ya yi shekara 119, ya kuma haifi waɗansu’ya’ya maza da mata.
And after he conceived Terah, Nahor lived for one hundred and nineteen years, and he conceived sons and daughters.
26 Bayan Tera ya yi shekaru 70, sai ya haifi Abram, Nahor da Haran.
And Terah lived for seventy years, and then he conceived Abram, and Nahor, and Haran.
27 Wannan ita ce zuriyar Tera. Tera ya haifi Abram, Nahor da Haran. Haran kuma ya haifi Lot.
And these are the generations of Terah. Terah conceived Abram, Nahor, and Haran. Next Haran conceived Lot.
28 Yayinda mahaifinsa Tera yana da rai, Haran ya rasu a Ur ta Kaldiyawa, a ƙasar haihuwarsa.
And Haran died before his father Terah, in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldeans.
29 Abram da Nahor suka yi aure. Sunan matar Abram, Saira ne, sunan matar Nahor kuwa Milka; ita’yar Haran ce, mahaifin Milka da Iska.
Then Abram and Nahor took wives. The name of Abram’s wife was Sarai. And the name of Nahor’s wife was Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah.
30 Saira kuwa bakararriya ce, ba ta da yara.
But Sarai was barren and had no children.
31 Tera ya ɗauki ɗansa Abraham, jikansa Lot ɗan Haran, da surukarsa Saira, matar Abram, tare kuwa suka bar Ur ta Kaldiyawa, don su tafi Kan’ana. Amma sa’ad da suka zo Haran sai suka zauna a can.
And so Terah took his son Abram, and his grandson Lot, the son of Haran, and his daughter-in-law Sarai, the wife of his son Abram, and he led them away from Ur of the Chaldeans, to go into the land of Canaan. And they approached as far as Haran, and they dwelt there.
32 Tera yi shekaru 205, ya kuma mutu a Haran.
And the days of Terah that passed were two hundred and five years, and then he died in Haran.
