Jenesis 11
1 Nʼoge ahụ, ụwa niile nwere naanị otu asụsụ, okwu niile bụkwa otu.
And the whole earth is of one pronunciation, and of the same words,
2 Mgbe ndị mmadụ gbasara nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ ha chọtara ala dị larịị na Shaịna biri nʼebe ahụ.
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 Ha gwarịtara onwe ha okwu sị, “Bịanụ ka anyị kpụọ brik, kpọọ ha ọkụ nke ọma.” Ya mere, ha kpụrụ brik kama nkume, jirikwa bitumen kama ụrọ.
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 Mgbe ahụ, ha kwuru sị, “Bịanụ ka anyị wuore onwe anyị obodo na ụlọ elu, nke elu ya ga-eru nʼeluigwe, ka anyị si otu a meere onwe anyị aha, ka anyị ghara ịbụ ndị a ga-agbasa nʼụwa niile.”
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 Onyenwe anyị rịdatara hụ obodo ahụ na ụlọ elu ahụ ndị mmadụ na-ewu.
And Jehovah cometh down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men have builded;
6 Onyenwe anyị sịrị, “Lee! Ọ bụrụ na ha malitere ime ihe dị otu a, ugbu a ha bụ otu ndị, nweekwa otu asụsụ, o nweghị ihe ha zubere ime nke ha na-apụghị ime.
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 Ngwa, ka anyị rịda gaa gbarụọ asụsụ ha, ka onye o bụla ghara ịghọta asụsụ ibe ya.”
Give help, let us go down, and mingle there their pronunciation, so that a man doth not understand the pronunciation of his companion.'
8 Onyenwe anyị mere ka ha gbasaa nʼelu ụwa niile. Ha kwụsịkwara iwu obodo ahụ.
And Jehovah doth scatter them from thence over the face of all the earth, and they cease to build the city;
9 Ọ bụkwa nke a mere e ji kpọọ obodo ahụ Babel nʼihi na ọ bụ nʼebe ahụ ka Onyenwe anyị wetara ọgbaaghara nʼasụsụ ndị niile bi nʼụwa. Ọ bụkwa nʼebe ahụ ka Onyenwe anyị si gbasasịa ha nʼelu ụwa dum.
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.
