1 Mose 11
1 Ɛberɛ bi, na nnipa a wɔwɔ asase so nyinaa ka kasa korɔ.
Then the whole earth was of one language and one speache.
2 Saa nnipa yi tu baa apueeɛ fam no, wɔbɛtoo asase tamaa wɔ Babilonia asase so, na wɔtenaa hɔ.
And as they went from the East, they found a plaine in the land of Shinar, and there they abode.
3 Wɔdwennwenee ho sɛ, “Momma yɛntwa ntayaa na yɛnto mma ɛmmen yie.” Wɔde ntayaa no sii aboɔ anan na wɔde ama hyehyɛɛ ntam.
And they said one to another, Come, let vs make bricke, and burne it in the fire. So they had bricke for stone, and slime had they in steade of morter.
4 Afei, wɔdwennwenee ho bio sɛ, “Momma yɛnkyekyere kuro kɛseɛ, na yɛnsi abantenten a ne sorɔnsorɔmmea duru sorosoro wɔ kuro no mu, na yɛnnye edin, na yɛanhwete wɔ asase so.”
Also they said, Goe to, let vs builde vs a citie and a towre, whose top may reache vnto the heauen, that we may get vs a name, lest we be scattered vpon the whole earth.
5 Awurade siane firii soro baa fam, bɛhunuu kuro kɛseɛ a wɔrekyekyere no ne abantenten a wɔresi no.
But the Lord came downe, to see the citie and towre, which the sonnes of men builded.
6 Afei, Awurade kaa sɛ, “Sɛ nnipa korɔ a wɔka kasa baako afiti aseɛ redi saa dwuma yi a, ɛnneɛ biribiara a wɔbɔ wɔn tirim sɛ wɔbɛyɛ no renyɛ wɔn den.
And the Lord said, Beholde, the people is one, and they all haue one language, and this they begin to doe, neither can they now be stopped from whatsoeuer they haue imagined to do.
7 Mommra na yɛnkɔ asase so, na yɛnkɔtoto wɔn kasa, na obiara nya ne kasa, sɛdeɛ obiara nte ne yɔnko kasa.”
Come on, let vs goe downe, and there confound their language, that euery one perceiue not anothers speache.
8 Ɛnam yei so maa Awurade hwetee nnipa no nyinaa mu, ma wɔpetee asase so nyinaa, ma wɔgyaee kuro kɛseɛ no kyekyere.
So ye Lord scattered them from thence vpon all the earth, and they left off to build the citie.
9 Ɛno enti na wɔfrɛɛ kuro kɛseɛ no Babel, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛhɔ na Awurade totoo kasa baako a na wɔka wɔ ewiase nyinaa saa ɛberɛ no, maa wɔn kasa hodoɔ. Ɛfiri hɔ na Awurade hwetee nnipa no nyinaa mu, ma wɔpetee asase so nyinaa.
Therefore the name of it was called Babel, because the Lord did there confounde the language of all the earth: from thence then did the Lord scatter them vpon all the earth.

28 Ɛberɛ a Haran agya Tera te ase no, Haran wuu baabi a wɔwoo no a wɔfrɛ hɔ Ur a, ɛwɔ Kaldea asase so no.
Then Haran died before Terah his father in the land of his natiuitie, in Vr of the Caldees.
29 Abram ne Nahor warewareeɛ. Na Abram yere din de Sarai, na Nahor nso yere din de Milka a, na ɔyɛ Haran babaa. Saa Haran yi na ɔwowoo Milka ne Iska.
So Abram and Nahor tooke them wiues. The name of Abrams wife was Sarai, and the name of Nahors wife Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah.
30 Na Sarai yɛ obonini; na ɔnni ba.
But Sarai was barren, and had no childe.
31 Tera faa ne babarima Abram ne ne nana Lot, a ɔyɛ Haran babarima ne nʼase baa Sarai, a na ɔyɛ ne babarima Abram yere no, ne wɔn nyinaa siim firii Ur a ɛwɔ Kaldea asase so sɛ, wɔrekɔ Kanaan asase so. Na wɔduruu Haran no, wɔtenaa hɔ.
Then Terah tooke Abram his sonne, and Lot the sonne of Haran, his sonnes sonne, and Sarai his daughter in lawe, his sonne Abrams wife: and they departed together from Vr of the Caldees, to goe into the land of Canaan, and they came to Haran, and dwelt there.
32 Tera dii mfeɛ ahanu ne enum, na ɔwuu wɔ Haran.
So the dayes of Terah were two hundreth and fiue yeeres, and Terah died in Haran.
