Genesis 11
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1And the whole earth was of one language and of one speech.
1Te vaengah diklai pum ah ol pakhat neh olka thikat laom.
2And it came to pass, as they journeyed east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.
2Tedae amih te khothoeng la a puen uh hatah Shinar khohmuen ah kolbawn a hmuh uh tih teah te kho a sak uh.
3And they said one to another: 'Come, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly.' And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar.
3Te vaengah hlang loh a hui taengah, “Halo, laiboeng sai uh sih lamtah hmai neh tik uh sih,” a ti uh. Te dongah lungto yueng la laiboeng te a khueh tih taplai yueng la lungpaat a khueh uh.
4And they said: 'Come, let us build us a city, and a tower, with its top in heaven, and let us make us a name; lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.'
4Te vaengah, “Lo lah, mamih ham khopuei neh rhaltoengim khaw, a soi te vaan duela sa uh sih. Te dongah mamih ham ming khueh sih, diklai pum kah mikhmuh ah vik n'taekyak uh ve,” a ti uh.
5And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
5Tedae khopuei te hmuh ham BOEIPA ha pawk vaengah hlang ca rhoek loh rhaltoengim te ana sak uh.
6And the LORD said: 'Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language; and this is what they begin to do; and now nothing will be withholden from them, which they purpose to do.
6BOEIPA loh amih he pilnam pakhat neh ol pakhat la boeih a om uh dongah saii ham a mangtaeng uh khaw saii ham a tong uh hatah amih ham lol tlaih pawt la he!
7Come, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.'
7Ceh, suntla uh sih lamtah amih ol te thoek pah sih. Te daengah ni hlang loh a hui kah hmuilai te a yaak pawt eh?,” a ti.
8So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth; and they left off to build the city.
8Te dongah BOEIPA loh amih te diklai hman boeih ah a taekyak tih khopuei thoh ham khaw a toeng uh.
9Therefore was the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth; and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
9He kongah BOEIPA loh diklai pum kah ol he pahoi a thoek pah tih a ming te Babylon a sui. Te lamlong tah BOEIPA loh amih te diklai hman boeih ah a taekyak.
10These are the generations of Shem. Shem was a hundred years old, and begot Arpachshad two years after the flood.
10Hekah he Shem kah rhuirhong ni. Shem te kum yakhat lo ca coeng tih tuilii kum phoeiah Arpaxad te a sak.
11And Shem lived after he begot Arpachshad five hundred years, and begot sons and daughters.

13And Arpachshad lived after he begot Shelah four hundred and three years, and begot sons and daughters.

16And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begot Peleg.
16Eber khaw kum sawmthum neh kum li a lo vaengah Palak te a sak.
17And Eber lived after he begot Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and begot sons and daughters.

23And Serug lived after he begot Nahor two hundred years, and begot sons and daughters.

26And Terah lived seventy years, and begot Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
26Terah khaw kum sawmrhih a lo vaengah Abram, Nakhaw, neh Haran te a sak.
27Now these are the generations of Terah. Terah begot Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begot Lot.
27Te phoeiah hekah he Terah kah rhuirhong ni. Terah loh Abram, Nakhaw neh Haran te a sak tih Haran loh Lot te a sak.
28And Haran died in the presence of his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees.
28Tedae Haran te a napa Terah mikhmuh ah a pacaboeina khohmuen Khalden kho Ur ah duek.
29And Abram and Nahor took them wives: the name of Abram's wife was Sarai; and the name of Nahor's wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah.
29Te phoeiah Abram neh Nakhaw loh yuu a loh rhoi. Abram yuu ming tah Sarai tih Nakhaw yuu ming tah Haran canu Milkah ni. Haran tah Milkah neh Iskah kah a napa ni.
30And Sarai was barren; she had no child.
30Te vaengah Sarai te yaa la om tih camoe khueh pawh.
31And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran, his son's son, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram's wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Haran, and dwelt there.
31Tedae Terah loh a capa Abram neh a capa Haran kah capa Lot khaw, a capa Abram yuu a langa Sarai khaw, a khuen tih Khalden kho Ur lamkah Kanaan khohmuen la caeh ham tun hlah uh dae Haran te a pha uh vaengah teah te kho vik a sak uh.
32And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years; and Terah died in Haran.
32Terah kah a tue khohnin he kum yahnih neh kum nga lo. Terah khaw Haran ah duek.
