Genesis 11
1 Lẹ́yìn náà, gbogbo àgbáyé sì ń sọ èdè kan ṣoṣo.
And the whole earth is of one language, and of the same words,
2 Bí àwọn ènìyàn ṣe ń tẹ̀síwájú lọ sí ìhà ìlà-oòrùn, wọ́n rí pẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀ kan ní ilẹ̀ Ṣinari, wọ́n sì tẹ̀dó síbẹ̀.
and it comes to pass, in their journeying from the east, that they find a valley in the land of Shinar and dwell there;
3 Wọ́n sì wí fún ara wọn pé, “Ẹ wá, ẹ jẹ́ kí a mọ bíríkì kí a sì sún wọ́n jìnà.” Bíríkì ni wọ́n ń lò ní ipò òkúta, àti ọ̀dà ilẹ̀ tí wọn ń lò láti mú wọn papọ̀ dípò ẹfun (òkúta láìmù tí wọ́n fi ń ṣe símẹ́ńtì àti omi).
and they each say to his neighbor, “Give help, let us make bricks, and burn [them] thoroughly”: and the brick is to them for stone, and the bitumen has been to them for mortar.
4 Nígbà náà ni wọ́n wí pé, “Ẹ wá, ẹ jẹ́ kí a tẹ ìlú kan dó fún ara wa, kí a sì kọ́ ilé ìṣọ́ kan tí yóò kan ọ̀run, kí a ba à lè ní orúkọ, kí a má sì tú káàkiri sórí gbogbo ilẹ̀ ayé.”
And they say, “Give help, let us build for ourselves a city and tower with its head in the heavens, and make for ourselves a name, lest we be scattered over the face of all the earth.”
5 Ṣùgbọ́n, Olúwa sọ̀kalẹ̀ láti wo ìlú àti ilé ìṣọ́ tí àwọn ènìyàn náà ń kọ́.
And YHWH comes down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men have built;
6 Olúwa wí pé, “Bí àwọn ènìyàn bá ń jẹ́ ọ̀kan àti èdè kan tí wọ́n sì bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí í ṣe iṣẹ́ yìí, kò sí ohun tí wọ́n gbèrò tí wọn kò ní le ṣe yọrí.
and YHWH says, “Behold, the people [is] one, and one language [is] to them all, and this it has dreamed of doing; and now, nothing is restrained from them of that which they have purposed to do.
7 Ẹ wá, ẹ jẹ́ kí a sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ, kí a da èdè wọn rú kí èdè wọn má ba à yé ara wọn mọ́.”
Give help, let us go down there and confuse their language, so that a man will not understand the language of his companion.”
8 Olúwa sì tú wọn ká sórí ilẹ̀ gbogbo, wọ́n sì ṣíwọ́ ìlú náà tí wọn ń tẹ̀dó.
And YHWH scatters them from there over the face of all the earth, and they cease to build the city;
9 Ìdí èyí ni a fi pè é ní Babeli nítorí ní ibẹ̀ ni Olúwa ti da èdè gbogbo ayé rú. Olúwa tí sì tú àwọn ènìyàn ká sí gbogbo orí ilẹ̀ ayé.
therefore [one] has called its name Babel, for there YHWH has confused the language of all the earth, and from there YHWH has scattered them over the face of all the earth.
