Genesis 11
1 Ke mutawauk ah, kain kas sefanna lun mwet faclu nufon, ac mwet uh orekmakin pusra sefanna.
And the whole earth had one language, and the same words.
2 Ke elos forfor layen kutulap, elos sun sie acn tupasrpasr in acn Babylonia ac oakwuki we.
And it came to pass as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and dwelt there.
3 Elos fahk nu sin sie sin sie, “Fahsru, kut in orek brick ac omunla in ku.” Ouinge elos orek brick mwe musa, ac sang tar folsani nu sie.
And they said one to another, Come on, let us make bricks, and burn [them] thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and they had asphalt for mortar.
4 Na elos fahk, “Inge kut ac musaela sie siti ac sie tower ma ac sun acn inkusrao, inesr in mau ku in pwengpeng, ac kut in tia musalelik nu fin faclu nufon.”
And they said, Come on, let us build ourselves a city and a tower, the top of which [may reach] to the heavens; and let us make ourselves a name, lest we be scattered over the face of the whole earth.
5 Na LEUM GOD El oatula ac liye siti sac ac tower se ma mwet uh musai,
And Jehovah came down to see the city and the tower which the children of men built.
6 ac El fahk, “Ingena, mwet inge ma sefanna ac elos sramsram ke kas sefanna. Tufahna pa inge mutaweyen ma elos ac mau oru uh. Ac tia paht na elos ac ku in oru kutena ma su elos ac lungse oru!
And Jehovah said, Behold, the people is one, and have all one language; and this have they begun to do. And now will they be hindered in nothing that they meditate doing.
7 Fahsru, kut oatula ac akfohsyauk kas lalos, elos in tia kalem ke kas lun sie sin sie.”
Come, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.
8 Ouinge LEUM GOD El akfahsryeloselik nu fin faclu nufon, ac elos tila musai siti sac.
And Jehovah scattered them thence over the face of the whole earth. And they left off building the city.
9 Siti sac pangpang Babylon, mweyen LEUM GOD El akfohsyauk kas lun mwet nukewa we, ac akfahsryeloselik nukewa liki acn we nu fin faclu nufon.
Therefore was its name called Babel; because Jehovah there confounded the language of the whole earth. And Jehovah scattered them thence over the face of the whole earth.
