Bilowgii 11
1 Dhulka oo dhammuna wuxuu ahaa isku af iyo isku hadal keliya.
At first, all the people in [MTY] the world spoke the same language [DOU].
2 Waxaana dhacday markay xagga bari u sii socdaaleen inay waddankii Shincaar meel bannaan ka heleen; oo halkaas ayay degeen.
As people moved further east, they arrived at a plain in Babylonia region and began to live 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.
Then they said to each other, “(Hey/Come on), let’s form bricks and bake them to make them hard, for building!” So they used bricks instead of stones, and used tar instead of (mortar/a mixture of cement, sand and lime) to hold them together.
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.
They said, “Hey, let’s build a city for ourselves! We also ought to build a very high tower that reaches up to the sky! In that way we will become famous! If we do not do this, we will be scattered all over the earth!”
5 Rabbiguna wuxuu u soo degay inuu arko magaaladii iyo munaaraddii ay binu-aadmigu dhisayeen.
So they began to build the city and the tower. Then Yahweh looked down and saw the city and the tower that those [puny] 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.
Yahweh said, “These people are one group that all speak the same language. If they have begun to do this now, then (there is nothing that they will decide to do that will be impossible for them/they will be able to do whatever they decide to do) [LIT]!
7 Ina keena, aynu degnee, oo halkaas aynu afkooda iskaga qasnee, yaan midna midka kale hadalkiisa garanine.
So, okay/now, we will go down there and cause there to be many different languages, so that they will not be able to understand each other.”
8 Kolkaasaa Rabbigu halkaas ka kaxeeyey oo ku kala firdhiyey dhulka dushiisa oo dhan, oo dhisiddii magaaladii way joojiyeen.
So Yahweh did that. As a result, the people stopped building the city, and Yahweh caused them to disperse all over the earth.
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.
The city was called Babel which means ‘confusion’, because there Yahweh caused the people to become confused because the people [MTY] spoke [different languages that the others could not understand], not just one language. From there Yahweh caused them to disperse all over the earth.
10 Kuwanu waa farcankii Sheem. Sheem wuxuu jiray boqol sannadood, oo laba sannadood oo daadkii ka dambaysay wuxuu dhalay Arfaksad.

27 Kuwanu waa farcankii Terax. Terax wuxuu dhalay Aabraam, iyo Naaxoor, iyo Haaraan; Haaraanna wuxuu dhalay Luud.
(This is/I will now give) a list of the descendants of Terah: Terah’s sons were Abram, Nahor, and Haran. Haran’s son was named Lot.
28 Haaraanna wuxuu dhintay aabbihiis Terax oo jooga, wuxuuna ku dhintay dhulkii uu ku dhashay, oo la odhan jiray Uur tii reer Kaldayiin.
Haran died before his father died. He died in Ur [city] in Chaldea land, where he was born.
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.
Abram and Nahor both married. Abram’s wife was named Sarai, and Nahor’s wife was named Milcah. Milcah and her younger sister Iscah were the daughters of Haran.
30 Saarayna waxay ahayd madhalays; ilmona ma ay lahayn.
Sarai was unable to bear any 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.
Terah decided to leave Ur and go to live in Canaan land. So he took his son Abram and his grandson Lot, the son of Haran, and Abram’s wife Sarai with him. But instead of going to Canaan, they stopped at Haran [town] and lived there.
32 Wakhtigii Terax noolaa wuxuu ahaa laba boqol iyo shan sannadood, Teraxna wuxuu ku dhintay Haaraan.
When Terah was 205 years old, he died there in Haran.
