Translation of "The Tower of Babel" (Standalone)

Share & Bookmark
Original: And all the earth had one language and one tongue. And it came about that in their wandering from the east, they came to a stretch of flat country in the land of Shinar, and there they made their living-place. And they said one to another, Come, let us make bricks, burning them well. And they had bricks for stone, putting them together with sticky earth. And they said, Come, let us make a town, and a tower whose top will go up as high as heaven; and let us make a great name for ourselves, so that we may not be wanderers over the face of the earth. And the Lord came down to see the town and the tower which the children of men were building. And the Lord said, See, they are all one people and have all one language; and this is only the start of what they may do: and now it will not be possible to keep them from any purpose of theirs. Come, let us go down and take away the sense of their language, so that they will not be able to make themselves clear to one another. So the Lord God sent them away into every part of the earth: and they gave up building their town. So it was named Babel, because there the Lord took away the sense of all languages and from there the Lord sent them away over all the face of the earth.

Pangiumma imato enna lasin ge enna gilana. Rutai nekili ti iseto ikuaga po Xinar umma ge umman unya. Latoisi "Daha mie kasinka agaitue ge zorutaka." Imato agaitu ama je ge igeulo ama kanyigegan. Lato "Daha mie ukka dilisi tatun so akakan cisi akadi zia ahudi, ge daha mie kasi hasani ua na mie idini li panpo pangiumma fudi." Hajo aniarito ua se tatun ge akakan ci ra ranine to ukkato. Hajo lato "Haua! Tizi enna giji panci ima enna lasin. Dakitoi in, inri tiua naci ci ti itika va cenkani. Daha mie aniru ge unya igika ti lasin ua ti nafa sause isi lada." Inyu hajo idikato ti ne unya li panpo pangiumma fudi, ge ti cen ukka tatun. Kin ua hani Babel, kin aunya hajo igikato pangiumma lasin, ge ne unya hajo idikato ti li panpo pangiumma fudi.
