Genesis 11
1 At ang buong lupa ay iisa ang wika at iisa ang salita.
At first, all the people in [MTY] the world spoke the same language [DOU].
2 At nangyari, na, sa kanilang paglalakbay sa silanganan, ay nakasumpong sila ng isang kapatagan sa lupain ng Sinar; at sila'y nanahan doon.
As people moved further east, they arrived at a plain in Babylonia region and began to live there.
3 At nagsangusapang, Halikayo! tayo'y gumawa ng mga laryo, at ating lutuing mabuti. At inari nilang bato ang laryo at ang betun ay inaring argamasa.
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 At nagsipagsabi, Halikayo! Magtayo tayo ng isang bayan natin at ng isang moog, na ang taluktok niyaon ay aabot hanggang sa langit, at magtaglay tayo ng isang ngalan; baka tayo'y mangalat sa ibabaw ng buong lupa.
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 At bumaba ang Panginoon upang tingnan ang bayan at ang moog, na itinayo ng mga anak ng mga tao.
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 At sinabi ng Panginoon, Narito, sila'y iisang bayan at silang lahat ay may isang wika; at ito ang kanilang pinasimulang gawin: at, ngayon nga'y walang makasasawata sa anomang kanilang balaking gawin.
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 Halikayo! tayo'y bumaba at diyan din ay ating guluhin ang kanilang wika, na anopa't sila'y huwag magkatalastasan sa kanilang salita.
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 Ganito pinanabog sila ng Panginoon mula riyan, sa ibabaw ng buong lupa; at kanilang iniwan ang pagtatayo ng bayan.
So Yahweh did that. As a result, the people stopped building the city, and Yahweh caused them to disperse all over the earth.
9 Kaya ang pangalang itinawag ay Babel; sapagka't doon ginulo ng Panginoon ang wika ng buong lupa: at mula roon ay pinanabog sila ng Panginoon sa ibabaw ng buong lupa.
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 Ito ang sali't saling lahi ni Sem. May isang daan taon si Sem at naging anak si Arphaxad, dalawang taon pagkatapos ng bahang gumunaw,
(This is a bigger list/I will now tell you more) of the descendants of Shem: Two years after the flood, when Shem was 100 years old, he became the father of Arpachshad.
11 At nabuhay si Sem, pagkatapos na maipanganak si Arphaxad, ng limang daang taon, at nagkaanak ng mga lalake at mga babae.

18 At nabuhay si Peleg ng tatlong pung taon, at naging anak si Reu:
When Peleg was 30 years old, he became the father of Reu.
19 At nabuhay si Peleg pagkatapos na maipanganak si Reu, ng dalawang daan at siyam na taon; at nagkaanak ng mga lalake at mga babae.
After Reu was born, Peleg lived 209 more years and became the father of other sons and daughters.
20 At nabuhay si Reu ng tatlong pu't dalawang taon, at naging anak si Serug:
When Reu was 32 years old, he became the father of Serug.
21 At nabuhay si Reu pagkatapos na maipanganak si Serug, ng dalawang daan at pitong taon, at nagkaanak ng mga lalake at mga babae.
After Serug was born, Reu lived 207 more years and became the father of other sons and daughters.
22 At nabuhay si Serug ng tatlong pung taon, at naging anak si Nachor:

23 At nabuhay si Serug pagkatapos maipanganak si Nachor, ng dalawang daang taon, at nagkaanak ng mga lalake at mga babae.
After Nahor was born, Serug lived 200 more years and became the father of other sons and daughters.
24 At nabuhay si Nachor ng dalawang pu't siyam na taon, at naging anak si Thare:
When Nahor was 29 years old, he became the father of Terah.
25 At nabuhay si Nachor pagkatapos na maipanganak si Thare, ng isang daan at labing siyam na taon, at nagkaanak ng mga lalake at mga babae.
After Terah was born, Nahor lived 119 more years and became the father of other sons and daughters.
26 At nabuhay si Thare ng pitong pung taon, at naging anak si Abram, si Nachor at si Haran.
When Terah was 70 years old, his son Abram was born. Later, two other sons, Nahor and Haran were born.
27 Ito nga ang mga lahi ni Thare. Naging anak ni Thare si Abram, si Nachor, at si Haran; at naging anak ni Haran si Lot.
(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 At namatay si Haran bago namatay ang kaniyang amang si Thare sa lupaing kaniyang tinubuan, sa Ur ng mga Caldeo.
Haran died before his father died. He died in Ur [city] in Chaldea land, where he was born.
29 At nagsipagasawa si Abram at si Nachor: ang pangalan ng asawa ni Abram ay Sarai; at ang pangalan ng asawa ni Nachor, ay Milca, anak ni Haran, ama ni Milca at ama ni Iscah.
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 At si Sarai ay baog; siya'y walang anak.
Sarai was unable to bear any children.
31 At ipinagsama ni Thare si Abram na kaniyang anak, at si Lot na anak ni Haran, na anak ng kaniyang anak, at si Sarai na kaniyang manugang, asawa ni Abram na kaniyang anak; at samasamang nagsialis sa Ur ng mga Caldeo upang magsipasok sa lupain ng Canaan, at nagsidating sila sa Haran, at nagsitahan doon.
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 At ang mga naging araw ni Thare ay dalawang daan at limang taon: at namatay si Thare sa Haran.
When Terah was 205 years old, he died there in Haran.
