Genesisy 11
1 Ary ny tany rehetra dia iray fanononana sy iray fiteny.
Now the whole earth used one language and had the same words.
2 Ary raha nifindrafindra niantsinanana ny olona, dia nahita tany lemaka tany amin’ ny tany Sinara izy ka nonina teo.
As they journeyed in the east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and they settled 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.
They said to one another, “Come, let us make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” They had brick instead of stone and tar as 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.
They said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower whose top will reach to the sky, and let us make a name for ourselves. If we do not, we will be scattered across the surface of the whole earth.”
5 Dia nidina Jehovah hizaha ny tanàna sy ny tilikambo, izay nataon’ ny zanak’ olombelona.
So Yahweh came down to see the city and the tower which the descendants of Adam had built.
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.
Yahweh said, “Look, they are one people with the same language, and they are beginning to do this! Soon nothing that they intend to do will be impossible for them.
7 Aoka isika hidina, ka eny no hanorokoroantsika ny fiteniny, mba tsy hifankahala teny izy.
Come, let us go down and confuse their language there, so that they may not understand each other.”
8 Dia tao no nampielezan’ i Jehovah azy hiala ho eny ambonin’ ny tany rehetra; dia nitsahatra tsy nanao ny tanàna intsony izy.
So Yahweh scattered them from there across the surface of all the earth and they stopped building 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, its name was called Babel, because there Yahweh confused the language of the whole earth and from there Yahweh scattered them abroad over the surface 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 were the descendants of Shem. Shem was a hundred years old, and he became the father of Arphaxad 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.
Shem lived five hundred years after he became the father of Arphaxad. He also became the father of other sons and daughters.
12 Ary rehefa dimy amby telo-polo taona ny andro niainan’ i Arpaksada, dia niteraka an’ i Sela izy.
When Arphaxad had lived thirty-five years, he became the father of Shelah.
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.
Arphaxad lived 403 years after he became the father of Shelah. He also became the father of other sons and daughters.
14 Ary rehefa telo-polo taona ny andro niainan’ i Sela, dia niteraka an’ i Ebera izy.
When Shelah had lived thirty years, he became the father of 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.
Shelah lived 403 years after he became the father of Eber. He also became the father of other sons and daughters.
16 Ary rehefa efatra amby telo-polo taona ny andro niainan’ i Ebera, dia niteraka an’ i Palega izy.
When Eber had lived thirty-four years, he became the father of 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.
Eber lived 430 years after he became the father of Peleg. He also became the father of other sons and daughters.
18 Ary rehefa telo-polo taona ny andro niainan’ i Palega, dia niteraka an-dReo izy,
When Peleg had lived thirty years, he became the father of 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.
Peleg lived 209 years after he became the father of Reu. He also became the father of other sons and daughters.
20 Ary rehefa roa amby telo-polo, taona ny andro niainan-dReo, dia niteraka an’ i Seroga izy.
When Reu had lived thirty-two years, he became the father of 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.
Reu lived 207 years after he became the father of Serug. He also became the father of other sons and daughters.
22 Ary rehefa telo-polo taona ny andro niainan’ i Seroga, dia niteraka an’ i Nahora izy,
When Serug had lived thirty years, he became the father of Nahor.
23 Ary ny andro niainan’ i Seroga taorian’ ny niterahany an’ i Nahora dia roan-jato taona; ary niteraka zazalahy sy zazavavy izy.
Serug lived two hundred years after he became the father of Nahor. He also became the father of other sons and daughters.
24 Ary rehefa sivy amby roa-polo taona ny andro niainan’ i Nahora, dia niteraka an’ i Tera izy.
When Nahor had live twenty-nine years, he became the father of Terah.
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.
Nahor lived 119 years after he became the father of Terah. He also became the father of other sons and daughters.
26 Ary rehefa fito-polo taona ny andro niainan’ i Tera, dia niteraka an’ i Abrama sy Nahora ary Harana izy:
After Terah had lived seventy years, he became the father of Abram, Nahor, 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 were the descendants of Terah. Terah became the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran, and Haran became the father of Lot.
28 Ary maty Harana, raha mbola teo anatrehan’ i Tera rainy tany amin’ ny tany nahaterahany, dia tao Oran’ ny Kaldeana.
Haran died in the presence of his father Terah in the land of his birth, in Ur of the Chaldeans.
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.
Abram and Nahor took wives. The name of Abram's wife was Sarai and the name of Nahor's wife was Milkah, a daughter of Haran, who was the father of Milkah and Iskah.
30 Ary momba Saray; tsy nanan-janaka izy.
Now 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.
Terah took Abram his son, Lot the son of his son Haran, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram's wife, and together they left Ur of the Chaldeans, to go into the land of Canaan. But they came to Haran and stayed there.
32 Ary dimy amby roan-jato taona ny andro niainan’ i Tera; dia maty tao Harana izy.
Terah lived 205 years and then died in Haran.
