Uumama 11
1 Bara sana addunyaan guutuun afaan tokkoo fi haasaa tokko qaba ture.
And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
2 Namoonni akkuma gara baʼa biiftuutti godaananiin, Shineʼaar keessatti lafa diriiraa argatanii achi qubatan.
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 Isaanis, “Kottaa mee xuubii hojjennee ibiddaan gubnaa” waliin jedhan. Isaanis qooda dhagaa, xuubiitti fayyadaman; hapheedhaaf immoo leeleetti fayyadaman.
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 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 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 Waaqayyo garuu magaalaa fi gamoo isaan ijaaraa turan sana ilaaluuf gad buʼe.
And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men were building.
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 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 Kottaa mee gad buunee, akka isaan wal hin hubanneef afaan isaanii waliin dhoofnaa!”
Come, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.
8 Kanaafuu Waaqayyo achii isaan baasee lafa hunda irra isaan bittinneesse; isaanis magaalaa ijaaruu dhiisan.
So the LORD scattered them abroad from there upon the face of all the earth: and they stopped building 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 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.

Now these are the generations of Terah: Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot.
28 Haaraan utuma abbaan isaa Taaraan jiruu Uuri biyya Kaldootaa keessatti lafuma itti dhalatetti duʼe.
And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees.
29 Abraamii fi Naahoor niitii fuudhan. Maqaan niitii Abraam Saaraa, maqaan niitii Naahoor immoo Miilkaa ture. Miilkaan intala Haaraan. Haaraan kun immoo abbaa Miikaatii fi Yiskaa ture.
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 Saaraan dhabduu turte; ijoollees hin deenye.
But Sarai was barren; she had no child.
31 Taaraan ilma isaa Abraamin, ilma ilma isaa jechuunis Loox ilma Haaraanii fi niitii ilma isaa jechuunis Saaraa niitii Abraam fudhatee Kanaʼaan dhaquuf, Uuri biyya Kaldootaatii walii wajjin baʼan; garuu yeroo Kaaraan gaʼanitti achuma qubatan.
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 Taaraan waggaa 205 jiraatee Kaaraanitti duʼe.
And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years: and Terah died in Haran.
