Tar cii lu zwa môm, ilyam kpaa môm.
The whole earth was of one language and of one speech.
Zum u ve lu yemen vegher u sha ityoughkitaregh la, ve zua a ijiir i lun gbulumaa ken tar u Shinar, maa ve haa her.
As they traveled east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they lived there.
Tsô ve kaa ayol a ve er: Sé gbidye nen akam, sé sôô nen dedoo. Akam la hingir ve er ka awen, man inya i tiher hingir ve er ka inya i hôron yô.
They said to one another, “Come, let’s make bricks, and burn them thoroughly.” They had brick for stone, and they used tar for mortar.
Ve kaa er: Sé maa nen Zegegar man gôgôyou u taven sha, a̱ za tagher sha Aôndo je, iti yase i̱ za gwa sha won, sé kera samber nen sha tar cii ga.
They said, “Come, let’s build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top reaches to the sky, and let’s make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad on the surface of the whole earth.”
Tsô TER sen sha u Una nenge gar man gôgôyou u ônov mba iorov ve maan yô.
Yahweh came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men built.
TER kaa er: Nenge, ve cii, ka nongo môm, zwa ve kpaa ngu môm je; man ka kwagh u ve hii u eren je ne, nahan ma kwagh u ve we ishima u eren yô, una hemba ve ga.
Yahweh said, “Behold, they are one people, and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do. Now nothing will be withheld from them, which they intend to do.
Yô, Sé sen, Sé za nzughul ve zwa, ve de kera ongo kwaghôron u ayol a ve ga.
Come, let’s go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.”
Nahan TER va num ve heregh, sambe ve sha tar cii wue wue, man ve de u maan zegegar la.
So Yahweh scattered them abroad from there on the surface of all the earth. They stopped building the city.
Ka nahan man i yer iti na er Babel ye, gadia ka heregh man Ter nzughul zwa u ior sha won cii ye; ka heregh la kpaa TER sambe ve sha tar cii wue wue ye.
Therefore its name was called Babel, because there Yahweh confused the language of all the earth. From there, Yahweh scattered them abroad on the surface of all the earth.
