Genesis 11
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1To naah long pum ah lok maeto khue oh moe, lok maeto ni apaeh o.
1And the earth was of one tongue, and of the same speech.
2Ni angyae bang hoiah a caeh o, Shinar azawn to hnuk o naah, to ah khosak o.
2And when they removed from the east, they found a plain in the land of Sennaar, and dwelt in it.
3To naah nihcae mah maeto hoi maeto khaeah, Angzo oh, amlai long pahlom o si loe, hmaiqoeng o si, tiah thuih o. Thlung zuengah amlai long to patoh o moe, param long zuengah thing tangpri to patoh o.
3And each one said to his neighbour: Come, let us make brick, and bake them with fire. And they had brick instead of stones, and slime instead of mortar.
4Nihcae mah, Angzo oh, vangpui maeto sah o si loe, van pha khoek to imsang to sah o si; aimacae ahmin amthang hanah sah o si, to tih ai nahaeloe long pum ah ampraek o boih moeng tih, tiah a thuih o.
4And they said: Come, let us make a city and a tower, the top whereof may reach to heaven: and let us make our name famous before we be scattered abroad into all lands.
5Angraeng loe kaminawk mah sak ih imsang hoi vangpui to khet hanah, angzoh tathuk.
5And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of Adam were building.
6Angraeng mah, Khenah, kaminawk loe maeto ah oh o moe, lok maeto apaeh o boih pongah, hae tok hae sak amtong o boeh; vaihi sak han a poek o ih hmuen hae pakaahaih tidoeh om ai ah sah o tih.
6And he said: Behold, it is one people, and all have one tongue: and they have begun to do this, neither will they leave off from their designs, till they accomplish them in deed.
7Angzo oh, caeh o tathuk si loe, maeto hoi maeto lok angthaih han ai ah, lok anghmangsak si, tiah thuih o.
7Come ye, therefore, let us go down, and there confound their tongue, that they may not understand one another’s speech.
8To pongah Angraeng mah nihcae to long pum ah ampraeksak; to naah vangpui to sah ai ah toengh o sut.
8And so the Lord scattered them from that place into all lands, and they ceased to build the city.
9Angraeng mah long pum ah kaom kaminawk to lok anghmangsak, to ahmuen hoiah nihcae to long pum ah ampraeksak phang, to pongah vangpui to Babel, tiah kawk o.
9And therefore the name thereof was called Babel, because there the language of the whole earth was confounded: and from thence the Lord scattered them abroad upon the face of all countries.

30And Sarai was barren, and had no children.
