उत्पत्ति 11
1 अहिले सारा पृत्वीमा एउटै भाषा थियो र शब्दहरू पनि उही थिए ।
At first, all the people in [MTY] the world spoke the same language [DOU].
2 तिनीहरू पूर्वतिर जाँदा, तिनीहरूले शिनारको भूमिमा एउटा मैदान भेट्टाए र तिनीहरू त्यही बसे ।
As people moved further east, they arrived at a plain in Babylonia region and began to live there.
3 तिनीहरूले आपसमा भने, “आओ, ईंटहरू बनाऔँ र तिनीहरूलाई राम्ररी पलौँ ।” तिनीहरूसँग ढुङ्गाको सट्टामा ईंट थियो र हिलोको सट्टामा अलकत्रा थियो ।
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 तिनीहरूले भने, “आओ, हाम्रो निम्ति एउटा सहर बनाऔँ र आकाश नै छुने एउटा धरहरा निर्माण गर्यौँ अनि नाउँ कमाऔँ । यदि हामीले यसो गरनौँ भने हामी सारा पृथ्वीभरि छरपष्ट हुनेछौँ ।”
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 यसैले परमप्रभु परमेश्वर आदमका सन्तानहरूले निर्माण गरेका त्यो सहर र धरहरा हेर्न तल आउनुभयो ।
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 परमेप्रभुले भन्नुभयो, “हेर, तिनीहरू एउटै भाषामा एउटै मानिसझैँ छन् अनि तिनीहरूले यसो गर्न सुरु गरिरहेका छन् । तिनीहरूले गर्न चाहेको कुनै पनि कुरा तिनीहरूको निम्ति असम्भव हुनेछैन ।
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 आओ, हामी तल जाऔँ र तिनीहरूका भाषा खलबलाइ दिऔँ, ताकि तिनीहरू एउटाले भनेको अर्काले बुझ्न सकून् ।”
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 यसैले परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूलाई सारा पृथ्वीभरि छरपष्ट पार्नुभयो र तिनीहरूले त्यो सहर निर्माण गर्न छोडे ।
So Yahweh did that. As a result, the people stopped building the city, and Yahweh caused them to disperse all over the earth.
9 यसकारण, यसको नाउँ बाबेल राखियो, किनभने परमप्रभुले त्यहाँ सारा पृथ्वीको भाषा खलबलाउनुभयो अनि त्यहाँबाट नै परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूलाई सारा पृथ्वीभरि छरपष्ट पा्र्नुभयो ।
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.
