Genesisy 11
1 Ie henane zay, raike ty fivimby naho fisaontsi’ ze kila ondaty.
At first, all the people in [MTY] the world spoke the same language [DOU].
2 Aa ie niombotse boak’ atiñanañe le nandoak’ an-tane atao Sinare naho nanjo motombey vaho nañialo eo.
As people moved further east, they arrived at a plain in Babylonia region and began to live there.
3 Le nifanaontsy ty hoe: Antao hamboatse birìke oroañe soa. Nisolo vato ty birike’ iareo vaho solin-tane ty fanosoha’e.
Then they said to each other, “(Hey/Come on), let’s form bricks and bake them to make them hard, for building!” So they used bricks instead of stones, and used tar instead of (mortar/a mixture of cement, sand and lime) to hold them together.
4 Le hoe iereo: Antao hañoren-drova naho fitilik’ abo aman-dengo mitiotiotse an-dikerañe añe vaho hanoeñe tahinañe tika, tsy mone hivarakaike an-tarehe’ ty tane toy.
They said, “Hey, let’s build a city for ourselves! We also ought to build a very high tower that reaches up to the sky! In that way we will become famous! If we do not do this, we will be scattered all over the earth!”
5 Nizotso mb’eo t’Iehovà hivazoho i rovay naho i fitilik’abo ranjie’ o ana’ ondatioo.
So they began to build the city and the tower. Then Yahweh looked down and saw the city and the tower that those [puny] men were building.
6 Le hoe t’Iehovà, Hehe t’ie ondaty mitokañe, songa aman-tsaontsy raike, le ingo ty fifotoran-draha’e, ie henaneo tsy eo ty hahasebañe ze safirie’ iereo hanoeñe.
Yahweh said, “These people are one group that all speak the same language. If they have begun to do this now, then (there is nothing that they will decide to do that will be impossible for them/they will be able to do whatever they decide to do) [LIT]!
7 Aa le antao hizotso mb’eo hañalikàlike ty fivimbi’ iareo tsy hifankahazo saontsy
So, okay/now, we will go down there and cause there to be many different languages, so that they will not be able to understand each other.”
8 aa le nampiparatsiahe’ Iehovà ambone’ ty tane toy iereo vaho nijihetse ty fañoreñañe i rovay.
So Yahweh did that. As a result, the people stopped building the city, and Yahweh caused them to disperse all over the earth.
9 Ie nanoeñe: Bavèle, amy te navalitsikota’ Iehovà ze hene saontsi’ ty tane toy vaho nampiparaitahe’ Iehovà ambone’ ty tane bey toy iereo.
The city was called Babel which means ‘confusion’, because there Yahweh caused the people to become confused because the people [MTY] spoke [different languages that the others could not understand], not just one language. From there Yahweh caused them to disperse all over the earth.
