< Genesisy 11 >
1 Ary ny tany rehetra dia iray fanononana sy iray fiteny.
And the whole earth was of one language, and of one kind of words.
2 Ary raha nifindrafindra niantsinanana ny olona, dia nahita tany lemaka tany amin’ ny tany Sinara izy ka nonina teo.
And it came to pass, as they journeyed toward the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they dwelt there.
3 Ary niresadresaka hoe izy: Andeha isika hanao biriky ka handotra azy tsara. Ary ny biriky na taony solom-bato, ary ny asfalta nataony solon-drihitra.
And they said to one another, Go to, let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly. And thus the brick served them for stone, and slime served them for mortar.
4 Ary hoy izy: Andeha isika hanao tanàna sy tilikambo ho antsika, ka ny tampony hahatakatra ny lanitra, dia hanao izay hahazoantsika laza, fandrao hiely eny ambonin’ ny tany rehetra isika.
And they said, Go to, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower, the top of which may reach unto heaven; and let us make ourselves a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
5 Dia nidina Jehovah hizaha ny tanàna sy ny tilikambo, izay nataon’ ny zanak’ olombelona.
And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of man were building.
6 Ary hoy Jehovah: Indro, iray foko ny olona, sady iray fanononana izy rehetra, ary ity vao fiandohan’ ny hataony; koa izao dia tsy hisy azo sakanana na inona na inona izay saintsaininy hatao.
And the Lord said, Behold, it is one people, and they have all one language, and this is the first thing they undertake to do; and now shall they not be restrained in all which they have imagined to do?
7 Aoka isika hidina, ka eny no hanorokoroantsika ny fiteniny, mba tsy hifankahala teny izy.
Go to, let us go down, and confound there their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.
8 Dia tao no nampielezan’ i Jehovah azy hiala ho eny ambonin’ ny tany rehetra; dia nitsahatra tsy nanao ny tanàna intsony izy.
So the Lord scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth; and they left off to build the city.
9 Koa izany no nanaovana ny anarany hoe Babela; fa tao Jehovah no nanorokoro ny fitenin’ ny tany rehetra; ary tao no nampielezan’ i Jehovah ny olona ho eny ambonin’ ny tany rehetra.
Therefore is the name of it called Babel, because the Lord did there confound the language of all the earth; and from there did the Lord scatter them abroad over the face of all the earth.
10 Izao no taranak’ i Sema: Rehefa zato taona Sema, dia niteraka an’ i Arpaksada izy roa taona taorian’ ny safo-drano.
These are the generations of Shem: Shem, when a hundred years old, begat Arpachshad, two years after the flood.
11 Ary ny andro niainan’ i Sema taorian’ ny niterahany an’ i Arpaksada dia diman-jato taona; ary niteraka zazalahy sy zazavavy izy.
And Shem lived after he had begotten Arpachshad five hundred years; and begat sons and daughters.
12 Ary rehefa dimy amby telo-polo taona ny andro niainan’ i Arpaksada, dia niteraka an’ i Sela izy.
And Arpachshad lived five and thirty years, and begat Shelach.
13 Ary ny andro niainan’ i Arpaksada taorian’ ny niterahany an’ i Sela dia telo amby efa-jato taona; ary niteraka zazalahy sy zazavavy izy.
And Arpachshad lived after he had begotten Shelach four hundred and three years; and begat sons and daughters.
14 Ary rehefa telo-polo taona ny andro niainan’ i Sela, dia niteraka an’ i Ebera izy.
And Shelach lived thirty years, and begat Eber.
15 Ary ny andro niainan’ i Sela taorian’ ny niterahany an’ i Ebera dia telo amby efa-jato taona; ary niteraka zazalahy sy zazavavy izy.
And Shelach lived after he had begotten Eber four hundred and three years; and begat sons and daughters.
16 Ary rehefa efatra amby telo-polo taona ny andro niainan’ i Ebera, dia niteraka an’ i Palega izy.
And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begat Peleg.
17 Ary ny andro niainan’ i Ebera taorian’ ny niterahany an’ i Palega dia telo-polo amby efa-jato taona; ary niteraka zazalahy sy zazavavy izy.
And Eber lived after he had begotten Peleg four hundred and thirty years; and begat sons and daughters.
18 Ary rehefa telo-polo taona ny andro niainan’ i Palega, dia niteraka an-dReo izy,
And Peleg lived thirty years, and begat Reu.
19 Ary ny andro niainan’ i Palega taorian’ ny niterahany an-dReo dia sivy amby roan-jato taona; ary niteraka zazalahy sy zazavavy izy.
And Peleg lived after he had begotten Reu two hundred and nine years; and begat sons and daughters.
20 Ary rehefa roa amby telo-polo, taona ny andro niainan-dReo, dia niteraka an’ i Seroga izy.
And Reu lived two and thirty years, and begat Serug.
21 Ary ny andro niainan-dReo taorian’ ny niterahany an’ i Seroga dia fito amby roan-jato taona; ary niteraka zazalahy sy zazavavy izy.
And Reu lived after he had begotten Serug two hundred and seven years; and begat sons and daughters.
22 Ary rehefa telo-polo taona ny andro niainan’ i Seroga, dia niteraka an’ i Nahora izy,
And Serug lived thirty years, and begat Nachor.
23 Ary ny andro niainan’ i Seroga taorian’ ny niterahany an’ i Nahora dia roan-jato taona; ary niteraka zazalahy sy zazavavy izy.
And Serug lived after he had begotten Nachor two hundred years; and begat sons and daughters.
24 Ary rehefa sivy amby roa-polo taona ny andro niainan’ i Nahora, dia niteraka an’ i Tera izy.
And Nachor lived nine and twenty years, and begat Terach.
25 Ary ny andro niainan’ i Nahora taorian’ ny niterahany an’ i Tera dia sivy ambin’ ny folo amby zato taona; ary niteraka zazalahy sy zazavavy izy.
And Nachor lived after he had begotten Terach a hundred and nineteen years; and begat sons and daughters.
26 Ary rehefa fito-polo taona ny andro niainan’ i Tera, dia niteraka an’ i Abrama sy Nahora ary Harana izy:
And Terach lived seventy years, and begat Abram, Nachor, and Haran.
27 Ary izao no taranak’ i Tera: Tera niteraka an’ i Abrama sy Nahora ary Harana; ary Harana niteraka an’ i Lota.
Now these are the generations of Terach: Terach begat Abram, Nachor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot.
28 Ary maty Harana, raha mbola teo anatrehan’ i Tera rainy tany amin’ ny tany nahaterahany, dia tao Oran’ ny Kaldeana.
And Haran died before his father Terach in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees.
29 Ary Abrama sy Nahora dia samy naka vady ho azy: ny anaran’ ny vadin’ i Abrama dia Saray; ary ny anaran’ ny vadin’ i Nahora dia Milka, zanakavavin’ i Harana, rain’ i Milka sy rain’ Iska.
And Abram and Nachor took themselves wives; the name of Abram's wife was Sarai; and the name of Nachor's wife was Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Yiscah.
30 Ary momba Saray; tsy nanan-janaka izy.
But Sarai was barren; she had no child.
31 Ary Tera nitondra an’ i Abrama zanany sy Lota zafiny, zanak’ i Harana, ary Saray vinantoni-vavy, vadin’ i Abrama zanany; dia niaraka taminy ireo ka niala tao Oran’ ny Kaldeana hankany amin’ ny tany Kanana; dia tonga tao Harana izy ka nonina tao.
And Terach took Abram his son, and Lot, the son of Haran, his son's son, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, the wife of his son Abram; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Charan, and dwelt there.
32 Ary dimy amby roan-jato taona ny andro niainan’ i Tera; dia maty tao Harana izy.
And the days of Terach were two hundred and five years; and Terach died in Charan.
