उत्पत्ति 11
1 अहिले सारा पृत्वीमा एउटै भाषा थियो र शब्दहरू पनि उही थिए ।
And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
2 तिनीहरू पूर्वतिर जाँदा, तिनीहरूले शिनारको भूमिमा एउटा मैदान भेट्टाए र तिनीहरू त्यही बसे ।
And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.
3 तिनीहरूले आपसमा भने, “आओ, ईंटहरू बनाऔँ र तिनीहरूलाई राम्ररी पलौँ ।” तिनीहरूसँग ढुङ्गाको सट्टामा ईंट थियो र हिलोको सट्टामा अलकत्रा थियो ।
And they said one to another, come, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar.
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 ।”
And they said, come, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach to heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we should be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
5 यसैले परमप्रभु परमेश्वर आदमका सन्तानहरूले निर्माण गरेका त्यो सहर र धरहरा हेर्न तल आउनुभयो ।
And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of 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 ।
And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be withheld from them, which they have imagined to do.
7 आओ, हामी तल जाऔँ र तिनीहरूका भाषा खलबलाइ दिऔँ, ताकि तिनीहरू एउटाले भनेको अर्काले बुझ्न सकून् ।”
Come, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.
8 यसैले परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूलाई सारा पृथ्वीभरि छरपष्ट पार्नुभयो र तिनीहरूले त्यो सहर निर्माण गर्न छोडे ।
So the LORD scattered them abroad from there upon the face of all the earth: and they stopped building the city.
9 यसकारण, यसको नाउँ बाबेल राखियो, किनभने परमप्रभुले त्यहाँ सारा पृथ्वीको भाषा खलबलाउनुभयो अनि त्यहाँबाट नै परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूलाई सारा पृथ्वीभरि छरपष्ट पा्र्नुभयो ।
Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD there confounded the language of all the earth: and from there did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.

27 तेरहका सन्तानहरू यिनीहरू थिए । तेरहस अब्राम, नाहोर र हारानका पिता भए अनि हारान लोतका पिता बने ।
Now these are the generations of Terah: Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot.
28 हारान तिनको पिता तेरहसको सामु नै तिनको जन्म थलो अर्थात् कल्दीहरूको ऊरमा मरे ।
And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees.
29 अब्राम र नाहोरले विवाह गरे र पत्नि ल्याए । अब्रामकी पत्निको नाउँ साराई थियो र नाहोरकी पत्निको नाउँ मिल्का थियो, तिनी हारानको छोरी थिइन् अनि हारान मिल्का र यिस्काका पिता थिए ।
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 सारा बाँझी थिइन्; तिनको कुनै बालबच्चाहरू थिएनन् ।
But Sarai was barren; she had no child.
31 तेरहले तिनका छोरो अब्राम, हारानाका छोरो लोत र तिनकी बुहारी साराई अर्थात् तिनका छोरो अब्रामको पत्निलाई लिए र कनानतिर जान तिनीहरू कल्दीहरूको ऊरतिर गए । तर तिनीहरू हारानमा आए र त्यहाँ नै बसे ।
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 to Haran, and dwelt there.
32 तेरह २०५ वर्ष बाँचे र तिनी हारानमा नै मरे ।
And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years: and Terah died in Haran.
