Mwanzo 11
1 Sasa nchi yote ilikuwa inatumia lugha moja na ilikua na usemi mmoja.
And all the world was of one tonge and one language.
2 Ikawa waliposafiri upande wa mashariki, wakaona eneo tambarare katika nchi ya Shinari na wakakaa pale.
And as they came from the east they founde a playne in the lande of Synear and there they dwelled.
3 Wakasemezana, “Haya njoni, tufanye matofari na tuyachome kikamilifu.” Walikuwa na matofari badala ya mawe na lami kama chokaa.
And they sayd one to a nother: come on let us make brycke ad burne it wyth fyre. So brycke was there stone and slyme was there morter
4 Wakasema, “njoni, na tujenge mji sisi wenyewe na mnara ambao kilele chake kitafika angani, na tujifanyie jina. Kama hatutafanya, basi tutatawanyika katika uso wa nchi yote.”
And they sayd: Come on let vs buylde vs a cyte and a toure that the toppe may reach vnto heauen. And let vs make us a name for perauenture we shall be scatered abrode over all the erth.
5 Kwa hiyo Yahwe akashuka kuona mji na mnara ambao wazao wa Ibrahimu walikuwa wamejenga.
And the LORde came downe to see the cyte and the toure which the childern of Ada had buylded.
6 Yahwe akasema, “Tazama, watu hawa ni taifa moja na lugha moja, na wameanza kufanya hivi! Hivikaribuni halitashindikana jambo watakalo kusudia kulifanya.
And the LORde sayd: See the people is one and haue one tonge amonge them all. And thys haue they begon to do and wyll not leaue of from all that they haue purposed to do.
7 Njoni, tushuke na tuvuruge lugha yao pale, ili kwamba wasielewane.”
Come on let vs descende and myngell theire tonge even there that one vnderstonde not what a nother sayeth.
8 Kwa hiyo Yahwe akawatawanya kutoka pale kwenda pande zote za uso wa nchi na wakaacha kujenga mji.
Thus ye LORde skatered them from thence vppon all the erth. And they left of to buylde the cyte.
9 Kwa hiyo, jina lake ukaitwa Babeli, kwa sababu hapo Yahwe alivuruga lugha ya nchi yote na tangu pale Yahwe akawatawanya ng'ambo juu ya uso wa nchi yote.
Wherfore the name of it is called Babell because that the LORDE there confounded the tonge of all the world. And because that the LORde from thence skatered them abrode vppon all the erth.

29 Abram na Nahori wakajitwalia wake. Mke wa Abram aliitwa Sarai na mke wa Nahori aliitwa Milka, binti wa Harani, aliyekuwa baba wa Milka na Iska.
And Abram and Nahor toke them wyves. Abras wyfe was called Sarai. And Nahors wyfe Mylca the doughter of Haran which was father of Milca ad of Iisca.
30 Sasa Sarai alikuwa Tasa; hakuwa na mtoto.
