Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
1The whole earth was of one language and of one speech.
1To naah long pum ah lok maeto khue oh moe, lok maeto ni apaeh o.
2As they traveled east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they lived there.
2Ni angyae bang hoiah a caeh o, Shinar azawn to hnuk o naah, to ah khosak o.
3They said to one another, “Come, let’s make bricks, and burn them thoroughly.” They had brick for stone, and they used tar for mortar.
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.
4They 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.”
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.
5The LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men built.
5Angraeng loe kaminawk mah sak ih imsang hoi vangpui to khet hanah, angzoh tathuk.
6The LORD 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.
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.
7Come, let’s go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.”
7Angzo oh, caeh o tathuk si loe, maeto hoi maeto lok angthaih han ai ah, lok anghmangsak si, tiah thuih o.
8So the LORD scattered them abroad from there on the surface of all the earth. They stopped building the city.
8To pongah Angraeng mah nihcae to long pum ah ampraeksak; to naah vangpui to sah ai ah toengh o sut.
9Therefore its name was called Babel, because there the LORD confused the language of all the earth. From there, the LORD scattered them abroad on the surface of all the earth.
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.
