Uumama 11
1 Bara sana addunyaan guutuun afaan tokkoo fi haasaa tokko qaba ture.
And the whole earth is of one language, and of the same words,
2 Namoonni akkuma gara baʼa biiftuutti godaananiin, Shineʼaar keessatti lafa diriiraa argatanii achi qubatan.
and it comes to pass, in their journeying from the east, that they find a valley in the land of Shinar and dwell there;
3 Isaanis, “Kottaa mee xuubii hojjennee ibiddaan gubnaa” waliin jedhan. Isaanis qooda dhagaa, xuubiitti fayyadaman; hapheedhaaf immoo leeleetti fayyadaman.
and they each say to his neighbor, “Give help, let us make bricks, and burn [them] thoroughly”: and the brick is to them for stone, and the bitumen has been to them for mortar.
4 Ergasii, “Kottaa mee akka ofii keenyaa maqaa argannuu fi akka addunyaa guutuu irra hin bibittinnoofneef magaalaa gamoon isaa samii qaqqabu tokko ijaarrannaa” jedhan.
And they say, “Give help, let us build for ourselves a city and tower with its head in the heavens, and make for ourselves a name, lest we be scattered over the face of all the earth.”
5 Waaqayyo garuu magaalaa fi gamoo isaan ijaaraa turan sana ilaaluuf gad buʼe.
And YHWH comes down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men have built;
6 Waaqayyos akkana jedhe; “Erga isaan akka saba tokko kan afaanuma tokko dubbatuutti waan kana hojjechuu jalqabanii, yoos amma wanni isaan hojjechuuf karoorfatan kan isaaniif hin dandaʼamne tokko iyyuu hin jiraatu.
and YHWH says, “Behold, the people [is] one, and one language [is] to them all, and this it has dreamed of doing; and now, nothing is restrained from them of that which they have purposed to do.
7 Kottaa mee gad buunee, akka isaan wal hin hubanneef afaan isaanii waliin dhoofnaa!”
Give help, let us go down there and confuse their language, so that a man will not understand the language of his companion.”
8 Kanaafuu Waaqayyo achii isaan baasee lafa hunda irra isaan bittinneesse; isaanis magaalaa ijaaruu dhiisan.
And YHWH scatters them from there over the face of all the earth, and they cease to build the city;
9 Waan Waaqayyo achitti afaan addunyaa hunda waliin makeef iddoon sun Baabilon jedhame; Waaqayyo iddoo sanaa isaan baasee lafa hunda irra isaan bittinneesse.
therefore [one] has called its name Babel, for there YHWH has confused the language of all the earth, and from there YHWH has scattered them over the face of all the earth.
