Genesis 11
1 Ke mutawauk ah, kain kas sefanna lun mwet faclu nufon, ac mwet uh orekmakin pusra sefanna.
And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
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 they 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, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they 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, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach to heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we should be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
5 Na LEUM GOD El oatula ac liye siti sac ac tower se ma mwet uh musai,
And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men were building.
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 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 withheld from them, which they have imagined to do.
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.
So the LORD scattered them abroad from there upon the face of all the earth: and they stopped 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 is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD there confounded the language of all the earth: and from there did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
