The Tower of Babel
Genesis 11:1-9
|
|
|
| Now the whole world had one language and a common speech. | ka opuru ad @pa buSaga ogora eyowara ose xasar ko Zadziwu otebi ad. |
| As men moved eastward, they found a plain in Shinar and settled there. | kazu sirzuwu oyad as siretaga- omiZut ad ilal rolorar rogora 'Sinarara ko ogedal ad dedar. |
| They said to each other, "Come, let's make bricks and bake them thoroughly." They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar. | otebi ad rid diya sax uxuma yal zetit ko sosatewu sax ukil ilalar. tuwi opuru ad SeSar opuru ad zosar- ko tuwi seyor goZer. |
| Then they said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves and not be scattered over the face of the whole earth." | ka diya dim rim ix uSosa yal Sibar ko met tala ode eyowar yu Xotetis yalar rim sax utabu yal sekor rokum dozera rowoS Zidtaba. |
| But the LORD came down to see the city and the tower that the men were building. | ro dim olodu sekor ko dozer rotabu as sirataya oyeSa oZoZad. |
| The LORD said, "If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. | oZo diya ix zada ose sirat otebi ose xasara ozus or ilal- ka rat ilal Xosoz Xike subal ilalas. |
| Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other." | dim Xopum ilal rid sax uyad yal ko sax umegum xasar diya. |
| So the LORD scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city. | ka yur deda met eyowa otetis ad oZo ilalar ko otabu od ilal sekor. |
| That is why it was called Babel -- because there the LORD confused the language of the whole world. From there the LORD scattered them over the face of the whole earth. | ka rat 'yas oduku il baZal taxar- go gora deda otegum ad oZo xosar ote eyowara. yur deda met tala ode eyowar otetis ad oZo ilalar. |
