< Bilowgii 11 >
1 Dhulka oo dhammuna wuxuu ahaa isku af iyo isku hadal keliya.
Now the whole world had one language and a common form of speech.
2 Waxaana dhacday markay xagga bari u sii socdaaleen inay waddankii Shincaar meel bannaan ka heleen; oo halkaas ayay degeen.
And as people journeyed eastward, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there.
3 Oo waxay isku yidhaahdeen, Ina keena, aynu leben samaysannee, oo aynu aad u dubnee. Oo waxay dhagaxa meeshiisa u haysteen leben, nuuradda meesheedana dhoobo.
And they said to one another, “Come, let us make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” So they used brick instead of stone, and tar instead of mortar.
4 Oo waxay yidhaahdeen, Ina keena, aynu magaalo dhisannee, iyo munaarad dhaladeedu samada gaadho, oo aynu magac yeelannee, waaba intaasoo aynu dhulka dushiisa oo dhan ku kala firidhnaaye.
“Come,” they said, “let us build for ourselves a city with a tower that reaches to the heavens, that we may make a name for ourselves and not be scattered over the face of all the earth.”
5 Rabbiguna wuxuu u soo degay inuu arko magaaladii iyo munaaraddii ay binu-aadmigu dhisayeen.
Then the LORD came down to see the city and the tower that the sons of men were building.
6 Oo Rabbigu wuxuu yidhi, Bal eega, iyagu waa isku dad keliya, oo dhammaan isku af keliya bay leeyihiin, oo waxanuna waa waxa ay bilaabayaan inay sameeyaan, oo haatan wax ka hor joogsan doona waxay damcaan inay sameeyaan ma jiraane.
And the LORD said, “If they have begun to do this as one people speaking the same language, then nothing they devise will be beyond them.
7 Ina keena, aynu degnee, oo halkaas aynu afkooda iskaga qasnee, yaan midna midka kale hadalkiisa garanine.
Come, let Us go down and confuse their language, so that they will not understand one another’s speech.”
8 Kolkaasaa Rabbigu halkaas ka kaxeeyey oo ku kala firdhiyey dhulka dushiisa oo dhan, oo dhisiddii magaaladii way joojiyeen.
So the LORD scattered them from there over the face of all the earth, and they stopped building the city.
9 Sidaas daraaddeed magaceedii waxaa loo bixiyey Baabel, maxaa yeelay, halkaasaa Rabbigu afkii dhulka oo dhan iskaga qasay; oo halkaasuu Rabbigu ka kaxeeyey iyagii oo ku kala firdhiyey dhulka dushiisa oo dhan.
That is why it is called Babel, for there the LORD confused the language of the whole world, and from that place the LORD scattered them over the face of all the earth.
10 Kuwanu waa farcankii Sheem. Sheem wuxuu jiray boqol sannadood, oo laba sannadood oo daadkii ka dambaysay wuxuu dhalay Arfaksad.
This is the account of Shem. Two years after the flood, when Shem was 100 years old, he became the father of Arphaxad.
11 Sheemna markuu Arfaksad dhalay ka dib wuxuu noolaa shan boqol oo sannadood, wiilal iyo gabdhona wuu dhalay.
And after he had become the father of Arphaxad, Shem lived 500 years and had other sons and daughters.

And after he had become the father of Eber, Shelah lived 403 years and had other sons and daughters.
16 Ceeberna wuxuu jiray afar iyo soddon sannadood, wuxuuna dhalay Feleg:
When Eber was 34 years old, he became the father of Peleg.
17 Ceeberna markuu Feleg dhalay ka dib wuxuu noolaa afar boqol iyo soddon sannadood, wiilal iyo gabdhona wuu dhalay.
And after he had become the father of Peleg, Eber lived 430 years and had other sons and daughters.
18 Felegna wuxuu jiray soddon sannadood, wuxuuna dhalay Recu:
When Peleg was 30 years old, he became the father of Reu.
19 Felegna markuu Recu dhalay ka dib wuxuu noolaa laba boqol iyo sagaal sannadood, wiilal iyo gabdhona wuu dhalay.
And after he had become the father of Reu, Peleg lived 209 years and had other sons and daughters.
20 Recuna wuxuu jiray laba iyo soddon sannadood, wuxuuna dhalay Seruug.
When Reu was 32 years old, he became the father of Serug.
21 Recuna markuu Seruug dhalay ka dib wuxuu noolaa laba boqol iyo toddoba sannadood, wiilal iyo gabdhona wuu dhalay.
And after he had become the father of Serug, Reu lived 207 years and had other sons and daughters.
22 Seruugna wuxuu jiray soddon sannadood, wuxuuna dhalay Naaxoor:
When Serug was 30 years old, he became the father of Nahor.
23 Seruugna markuu Naaxoor dhalay ka dib wuxuu noolaa laba boqol oo sannadood, wiilal iyo gabdhona wuu dhalay.
And after he had become the father of Nahor, Serug lived 200 years and had other sons and daughters.
24 Naaxoorna wuxuu jiray sagaal iyo labaatan sannadood, wuxuuna dhalay Terax;
When Nahor was 29 years old, he became the father of Terah.
25 Naaxoorna markuu Terax dhalay ka dib wuxuu noolaa boqol iyo sagaal iyo toban sannadood, wiilal iyo gabdhona wuu dhalay.
And after he had become the father of Terah, Nahor lived 119 years and had other sons and daughters.
26 Teraxna wuxuu jiray toddobaatan sannadood, wuxuuna dhalay Aabraam, iyo Naaxoor, iyo Haaraan.
When Terah was 70 years old, he became the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
27 Kuwanu waa farcankii Terax. Terax wuxuu dhalay Aabraam, iyo Naaxoor, iyo Haaraan; Haaraanna wuxuu dhalay Luud.
This is the account of Terah. Terah became the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran. And Haran became the father of Lot.
28 Haaraanna wuxuu dhintay aabbihiis Terax oo jooga, wuxuuna ku dhintay dhulkii uu ku dhashay, oo la odhan jiray Uur tii reer Kaldayiin.
During his father Terah’s lifetime, Haran died in his native land, in Ur of the Chaldeans.
29 Aabraam iyo Naaxoorna way guursadeen: Aabraam naagtiisii waxaa la odhan jiray Saaray; naagtii Naaxoorna waxaa la odhan jiray Milkah, waxayna ahayd gabadhii Haaraan, aabbihii Milkah iyo Iskah.
And Abram and Nahor took wives for themselves. Abram’s wife was named Sarai, and Nahor’s wife was named Milcah; she was the daughter of Haran, who was the father of both Milcah and Iscah.
30 Saarayna waxay ahayd madhalays; ilmona ma ay lahayn.
But Sarai was barren; she had no children.
31 Teraxna wuxuu kaxaystay wiilkiisii Aabraam, iyo Luud oo ahaa ina Haaraan, wiilkii wiilkiisii, iyo Saaray oo uu soddog u ahaa, oo ahayd naagtii wiilkiisii Aabraam; wayna kala baxeen Uur tii reer Kaldayiin, si ay u tagaan dalkii Kancaan; waxayna yimaadeen Haaraan, oo halkaasay degeen.
And Terah took his son Abram, his grandson Lot son of Haran, and his daughter-in-law Sarai the wife of Abram, and they set out from Ur of the Chaldeans for the land of Canaan. But when they arrived in Haran, they settled there.
32 Wakhtigii Terax noolaa wuxuu ahaa laba boqol iyo shan sannadood, Teraxna wuxuu ku dhintay Haaraan.
Terah lived 205 years, and he died in Haran.
