Olubereberye 11
1 Ensi yonna yalina olulimi lumu, nga bakozesa ebigambo bye bimu.
And the whole earth was of one language and of one speech.
2 Abantu bwe baava oluuyi olw’ebuvanjuba ne batuuka mu lusenyi nsi ya Sinaali ne babeera omwo.
And it came to pass, as they journeyed east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.
3 Ne bateesa nti, “Mujje tukole amatoffaali, tugookye bulungi.” Ne baba n’amatoffaali mu kifo ky’amayinja, ne kolaasi mu kifo ky’ettosi.
And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar.
4 Awo ne bagamba nti, “Mujje twezimbire ekibuga, tutuuse omunaala gwakyo ku ggulu; twekolere erinnya, tuleme okusaasaanyizibwa okubuna ensi yonna.”
And they said, Go to, let us build us a city, and a tower, whose top [may reach] unto heaven, and let us make us a name; lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
5 Naye Mukama nakka okulaba ekibuga n’omunaala, abaana b’abantu kye baali bazimba.
And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
6 Mukama n’ayogera nti, “Laba, bali omuntu omu, era boogera olulimi lumu! Era eno ntandikwa butandikwa ey’ebyo bye banaakola; era tewali kye banaateesa kukola ekinaabalemerera.
And the LORD said, Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language; and this is what they begin to do: and now nothing will be withholden from them, which they purpose to do.
7 Mujje, tukke wansi tutabuletabule olulimi lwabwe, baleme kutegeeragana.”
Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.
8 Bw’atyo Mukama n’abasaasaanya ne babuna ensi yonna, n’ekibuga kyabwe ne batakimaliriza.
So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.
9 Ekibuga ekyo erinnya lyakyo kye lyava liyitibwa Babiri, kubanga eyo Mukama gye yatabuliratabulira olulimi lw’ensi yonna. Eyo Mukama gye yabasaasaanyiza okubuna ensi yonna.
Therefore was the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
10 Bino bye bifa ku b’olulyo lwa Seemu: Seemu bwe yali ng’aweza emyaka kikumi, n’azaala Alupakusaadi nga wakayita emyaka ebiri okuva ku mataba.
These are the generations of Shem. Shem was an hundred years old, and begat Arpachshad two years after the flood:
11 Seemu n’amala emyaka ebikumi bitaano nga Alupakusaadi amaze okusaalibwa. N’azaaliramu abaana aboobulenzi n’aboobuwala.
and Shem lived after he begat Arpachshad five hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.
12 Alupakusaadi bwe yaweza emyaka asatu mu etaano n’azaala Seera,
And Arpachshad lived five and thirty years, and begat Shelah:
13 Alupakusaadi bwe yamala okuzaala Seera n’awangaala emyaka emirala ebikumi bina mu esatu, omwo n’azaaliramu abaana aboobulenzi n’aboobuwala.
and Arpachshad lived after he begat Shelah four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.
14 Seera bwe yaweza emyaka amakumi asatu n’azaala Eberi,
And Shelah lived thirty years, and begat Eber:
15 ate Seera n’aweza emyaka emirala ebikumi bina mu asatu ng’amaze okuzaala Eberi, era omwo n’azaaliramu abaana abalala aboobulenzi n’aboobuwala.
and Shelah lived after he begat Eber four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.
16 Eberi bwe yaweza emyaka amakumi asatu mu ena n’azaala Peregi.
And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begat Peleg:
17 Eberi bwe yamala okuzaala Peregi n’awangaala emyaka ebikumi bina mu amakumi asatu, omwo n’azaaliramu abaana abalala aboobulenzi n’aboobuwala.
and Eber lived after he begat Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters.
18 Peregi bwe yaweza emyaka amakumi asatu n’azaala Leewo,
And Peleg lived thirty years, and begat Reu:
19 bwe yamala okuzaala Leewo n’awangaala emyaka emirala ebikumi bibiri mu mwenda, n’azaaliramu abaana aboobulenzi n’aboobuwala.
and Peleg lived after he begat Reu two hundred and nine years, and begat sons and daughters.
20 Leewo bwe yaweza emyaka amakumi asatu mu ebiri n’azaala Serugi.
And Reu lived two and thirty years, and begat Serug:
21 N’awangaala emyaka emirala ebikumi bibiri mu musanvu. Omwo n’azaaliramu abaana aboobulenzi n’aboobuwala.
and Reu lived after he begat Serug two hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters.
22 Serugi bwe yaweza emyaka amakumi asatu n’azaala Nakoli,
And Serug lived thirty years, and begat Nahor:
23 bwe yamala okuzaala Nakoli n’awangaala emyaka emirala ebikumi bibiri. Omwo n’azaaliramu abaana aboobulenzi n’aboobuwala.
and Serug lived after he begat Nahor two hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.
24 Nakoli bwe yaweza emyaka amakumi abiri mu mwenda n’azaala Teera.
And Nahor lived nine and twenty years, and begat Terah:
25 Bwe yamala okuzaala Teera n’awangaala emyaka emirala kikumi mu kkumi na mwenda, era omwo n’azaaliramu abaana aboobulenzi n’aboobuwala.
and Nahor lived after he begat Terah an hundred and nineteen years, and begat sons and daughters.
26 Teera bwe yaweza emyaka nsanvu, n’azaala Ibulaamu, ne Nakoli ne Kalani.
And Terah lived seventy years, and begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
27 Bino bye bifa ku b’olulyo lwa Teera: Teera ye kitaawe wa Ibulaamu, ne Nakoli ne Kalani; Kalani ye yali kitaawe wa Lutti.
Now these are the generations of Terah. Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot.
28 Kalani yafa nga kitaawe Teera tannafa. Yafiira mu Uli ey’Abakaludaaya mwe yazaalirwa.
And Haran died in the presence of his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees.
29 Ibulaamu ne Nakoli ne bawasa; erinnya lya mukazi wa Ibulaamu lyali Salaayi, ate mukazi wa Nakoli nga ye Mirika, muwala wa Kalani, kitaawe wa Mirika ne Isika.
And Abram and Nahor took them wives: the name of Abram’s wife was Sarai; and the name of Nahor’s wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah.
30 Salaayi yali mugumba, teyalina mwana.
And Sarai was barren; she had no child.
31 Teera n’atwala Ibulaamu mutabani we Lutti muzzukulu we mutabani wa Kalani, ne Salaayi muka mutabani we Ibulaamu, ne bagenda bonna okuva mu Uli eky’Abakaludaaya okugenda mu nsi ya Kalani; bwe baatuuka mu Kalani, ne babeera omwo.
And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran, his son’s son, and Sarai his daughter in law, his son Abram’s wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Haran, and dwelt there.
32 Emyaka gya Teera gyali ebikumi bibiri mu etaano; Teera n’afiira mu Kalani.
And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years: and Terah died in Haran.
