Genesisi 11
1 Zvino nyika yose yakanga ino rurimi rumwe chete nokutaura kwakafanana.
And the whole earth is of one language, and of the same words,
2 Vanhu vakati vachitamira kumabvazuva, vakawana bani romuShinari vakagaramo.
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 Vakataurirana vakati, “Uyai, ngatiitei zvidhina tigozvipisa kwazvo.” Vakashandisa zvidhina pachinzvimbo chamabwe, uye bhitumini ikava dhaka ravo.
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 Ipapo vakati, “Uyai, ngatizvivakirei guta neshongwe inosvika kudengadenga, kuti tizviitire mukurumbira uye kuti tirege kupararira panyika yose.”
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 Asi Jehovha akaburuka pasi kuti azoona guta neshongwe yakanga ichivakwa navanhu.
And YHWH comes down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men have built;
6 Jehovha akati, “Kana vanhu ava vava somunhu mumwe, vachitaura rurimi rumwe chete, vakatanga kuita izvi, zvino hapana chinhu chavanoronga kuti vachiite chichavaomera.
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 Uyai, ngatiburukei tindovapesanisa mutauro wavo kuti varege kunzwisisana.”
Give help, let us go down there and confuse their language, so that a man will not understand the language of his companion.”
8 Saka Jehovha akavaparadzira pamusoro penyika yose ipapo, uye vakarega kuvaka guta.
And YHWH scatters them from there over the face of all the earth, and they cease to build the city;
9 Ndokusaka nzvimbo iyo yakanzi Bhabheri, nokuti ipapo Jehovha akapesanisa mutauro wenyika yose. Kubva ipapo Jehovha akavaparadzira pamusoro penyika yose.
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.

And Abram and Nahor take to themselves wives; the name of Abram’s wife [is] Sarai, and the name of Nahor’s wife [is] Milcah, daughter of Haran, father of Milcah, and father of Iscah.
