Mwanzo 11
1 Sasa nchi yote ilikuwa inatumia lugha moja na ilikua na usemi mmoja.
Forsothe the lond was of o langage, and of the same speche.
2 Ikawa waliposafiri upande wa mashariki, wakaona eneo tambarare katika nchi ya Shinari na wakakaa pale.
And whanne thei yeden forth fro the eest, thei fonden a feeld in the lond of Sennaar, and dwelliden ther ynne.
3 Wakasemezana, “Haya njoni, tufanye matofari na tuyachome kikamilifu.” Walikuwa na matofari badala ya mawe na lami kama chokaa.
And oon seide to his neiybore, Come ye, and make we tiel stonys, and bake we tho with fier; and thei hadden tiel for stonus, and pitche for 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 seiden, Come ye, and make we to vs a citee and tour, whos hiynesse stretche `til to heuene; and make we solempne oure name bifor that we be departid in to alle londis.
5 Kwa hiyo Yahwe akashuka kuona mji na mnara ambao wazao wa Ibrahimu walikuwa wamejenga.
Forsothe the Lord cam down to se the citee and tour, which the sones of Adam bildiden.
6 Yahwe akasema, “Tazama, watu hawa ni taifa moja na lugha moja, na wameanza kufanya hivi! Hivikaribuni halitashindikana jambo watakalo kusudia kulifanya.
And he seide, Lo! the puple is oon, and o langage is to alle, and thei han bigunne to make this, nethir thei schulen ceesse of her thouytis, til thei fillen tho in werk; therfor come ye, go we doun,
7 Njoni, tushuke na tuvuruge lugha yao pale, ili kwamba wasielewane.”
and scheende we there the tunge of hem, that ech man here not the voys of his neiybore.
8 Kwa hiyo Yahwe akawatawanya kutoka pale kwenda pande zote za uso wa nchi na wakaacha kujenga mji.
And so the Lord departide hem fro that place in to alle londis; and thei cessiden to bielde a cytee.
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.
And therfor the name therof was clepid Babel, for the langage of al erthe was confoundide there; and fro thennus the Lord scaterede hem on the face of alle cuntrees.
10 Hivi ndivyo vilikuwa vizazi vya Shemu. Shemu alikuwa na umri wa miaka mia moja, na akamzaa Alfaksadi miaka miwili baada ya gharika.
These ben the generaciouns of Sem. Sem was of an hundrid yeer whanne he gendride Arfaxath, twey yeer aftir the greet flood.
11 Shemu akaishi miaka miatano baada ya kumzaa Alfaksadi. Pia akazaa wana wengine wa kiume na wa kike.
And Sem lyuede aftir that he gendride Arfaxath fyue hundrid yeer, and gendride sones and douytris.
12 Wakati Alfaksadi alipokuwa ameishi miaka thelathini na mitano akamzaa Shela.
Forsothe Arfaxath lyuede fyue and thretti yeer, and gendride Sale;
13 Alfaksadi aliishi miaka 403 baada ya kumzaa Shela. Akawazaa pia wana wengine wa kiume na wa kike.
and Arfaxath lyuede aftir that he gendride Sale thre hundride and thre yeer, and gendride sones and douytris.
14 Wakati Shela alipokuwa ameishi miaka thelathini, akamzaa Eberi.
Also Sale lyuede thretti yeer, and gendride Heber;
15 Shela aliishi miaka 403 baada ya kumzaa Eberi. Akawazaa pia wana wengine wa kiume na wa kike.

16 Wakati Eberi alipokuwa ameishi miaka thelathini na minne, akamzaa Pelegi.
Sotheli Heber lyuede foure and thretti yeer, and gendride Falech;
17 Eberi aliishi miaka 430 baada ya kumzaa Pelegi. Akawazaa pia wana wengine wa kiume na wa kike.
and Heber lyuede aftir that he gendride Falech foure hundrid and thretti yeer, and gendride sones and douytris.
18 Wakati Pelegi alipokuwa ameishi miaka thelathini, akamzaa Reu.
Also Falech lyuede thretti yeer, and gendride Reu;
19 Pelegi aliishi miaka 209 baada ya kumza a Reu. Akawazaa pia wana wengine wa kiume na wa kike.
and Falech lyuede aftir that he gendride Reu two hundrid and nyne yeer, and gendride sones and douytris.
20 Wakati Reu alipokuwa ameishi miaka thelathini na miwili, alimzaa Serugi.
And Reu lyuede two and thretti yeer, and gendride Saruch;
21 Reu aliishi miaka207 baada ya kumzaa Seregu. Akawazaa pia wana wengine wa kiume na wa kike.
and Reu lyuede aftir that he gendride Saruch two hundrid and seuene yeer, and gendride sones and douytris.
22 Wakati Seregu alipokuwa ameishi miaka thelathini, akamzaa Nahori.
Sotheli Saruch lyuede thretti yeer, and gendride Nachor;
23 Seregu aliishi miaka mia mbili baada ya kumzaa Nahori. Akawazaa pia wana wengine wa kiume na wa kike.
and Saruch lyuede aftir that he gendride Nacor two hundrid yeer, and gendride sones and douytris.
24 Wakati Nahori alipokuwa ameishi miaka ishirini na tisa, akamzaa Tera.
Forsothe Nachor lyuede nyne and twenti yeer, and gendride Thare;
25 Nahori aliishi mika 119 baada ya kumzaa Tera. Akawazaa pia wana wengine wa kiume na wa kike.
and Nachor lyuede after that he gendride Thare an hundrid and nynetene yeer, and gendride sones and douytris.
26 Baada ya Tera kuishi miaka sabini, akamzaa Abram, Nahori, na Haran.
And Thare lyuede seuenti yeer, and gendride Abram, and Nachor, and Aran.
27 Hivi ndivyo vilikuwa vizazi vya Tera. Tera alimzaa Abram, Nahori, na Harani, na Harani akamzaa Lutu.
Sotheli these ben the generaciouns of Thare. Thare gendride Abram, Nachor, and Aran. Forsothe Aran gendride Loth;
28 Harani akafa machoni pa baba yake Tera katika nchi aliyozaliwa, katika Ur wa Wakaldayo.
and Aran diede bifore Thare, his fadir, in the lond of his natiuite, in Vr of Caldeis.
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.
Forsothe Abram and Nachor weddiden wyues; the name of the wijf of Abram was Saray, and the name of the wiif of Nachor was Melcha, the douyter of Aran, fadir of Melcha and fadir of Jescha.
30 Sasa Sarai alikuwa Tasa; hakuwa na mtoto.
Sotheli Saray was bareyn, and hadde no children.
31 Tera akamtwaa Abram mwanawe, Lutu mwana wa mwanawe Harani, na Sarai mkwewe, mke wa mwanawe Abram, na kwa pamoja wakatoka Ur wa Wakaldayo, kwenda katika nchi ya Kanaani. Lakini walipofika Harani wakakaa pale.
And so Thare took Abram, his sone, and Loth, the sone of Aran his sone, and Saray, his douyter in lawe, the wijf of Abram, his sone, and ledde hem out of Vr of Caldeis, that thei schulen go in to the lond of Chanaan; and thei camen `til to Aran, and dwelliden there.
32 Tera akaishi miaka 205 kisha akafa hapao Harani.
And the daies of Thare weren maad two hundrid yeer and fyue, and he was deed in Aran.
