¹[Ny nanaovan'ny olona ilay tilikambo tao Babela, sy ny nanorokoroan'Andriamanitra ny fitenin'ny olona] Ary ny tany rehetra dia iray fanononana sy iray fiteny.

¹And the whole earth is of one pronunciation, and of the same words,

²Ary raha nifindrafindra niantsinanana ny olona, dia nahita tany lemaka tany amin'ny tany Sinara izy ka nonina teo.

²and it cometh to pass, in their journeying from the east, that they find a valley in the land of Shinar, and dwell there;

³Ary niresadresaka hoe izy: Andeha isika hanao biriky ka handotra azy tsara. Ary ny biriky na taony solom-bato, ary ny asfalta nataony solon-drihitra.

³and they say each one to his neighbour, `Give help, let us make bricks, and burn [them] thoroughly:` and the brick is to them for stone, and the bitumen hath been to them for mortar.

⁴Ary hoy izy: Andeha isika hanao tanàna sy tilikambo ho antsika, ka ny tampony hahatakatra ny lanitra, dia hanao izay hahazoantsika laza, fandrao hiely eny ambonin'ny tany rehetra isika.

⁴And they say, `Give help, let us build for ourselves a city and tower, and its head in the heavens, and make for ourselves a name, lest we be scattered over the face of all the earth.`

⁵Dia nidina Jehovah hizaha ny tanàna sy ny tilikambo, izay nataon'ny zanak'olombelona.

⁵And Jehovah cometh down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men have builded;

⁶Ary hoy Jehovah : Indro, iray foko ny olona, sady iray fanononana izy rehetra, ary ity vao fiandohan'ny hataony; koa izao dia tsy hisy azo sakanana na inona na inona izay saintsaininy hatao.

⁶and Jehovah saith, `Lo, the people [is] one, and one pronunciation [is] to them all, and this it hath dreamed of doing; and now, nothing is restrained from them of that which they have purposed to do.

⁷Aoka isika hidina, ka eny no hanorokoroantsika ny fiteniny, mba tsy hifankahala teny izy.

⁷Give help, let us go down, and mingle there their pronunciation, so that a man doth not understand the pronunciation of his companion.`

⁸Dia tao no nampielezan'i Jehovah azy hiala ho eny ambonin'ny tany rehetra; dia nitsahatra tsy nanao ny tanàna intsony izy.

⁸And Jehovah doth scatter them from thence over the face of all the earth, and they cease to build the city;

⁹Koa izany no nanaovana ny anarany hoe Babela; fa tao Jehovah no nanorokoro ny fitenin'ny tany rehetra; ary tao no nampielezan'i Jehovah ny olona ho eny ambonin'ny tany rehetra.

⁹therefore hath [one] called its name Babel, for there hath Jehovah mingled the pronunciation of all the earth, and from thence hath Jehovah scattered them over the face of all the earth.

²⁷[Ny taranak'i Tera, sy ny nifindrany nankany Harana] Ary izao no taranak'i Tera: Tera niteraka an'i Abrama sy Nahora ary Harana; ary Harana niteraka an'i Lota.

²⁷And these [are] births of Terah: Terah hath begotten Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran hath begotten Lot;

²⁸Ary maty Harana, raha mbola teo anatrehan'i Tera rainy tany amin'ny tany nahaterahany, dia tao Oran'ny Kaldeana.

²⁸and Haran dieth in the presence of Terah his father, in the land of his birth, in Ur of the Chaldees.
