¹Huan, leia mi tengteng pau khat leh thugen dan khat ahi ua.

¹And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.

²Huan, hichi ahia, suahlama a kisuan jel laiun Sinar gamah phaijang a mu ua; huaiah a tengta uhi.

²And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.

³Huan, Kisa un; teklei I bawl dia, hoih takin I hal ding, a kichita uhi. Huchiin, suang sikin teklei a nei ua, suanghukna sikin, longnai a nei uhi.

³And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar.

⁴Huan, Kisa un, khopi i bawl dia, insang a vum van sun dingin I bawl dia, I min I thangsak ding uh; huchilouin jaw lei pumpiah hihdalhin I omkha ding, a chi uh.

⁴And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.

⁵Huan, Toupa mite taten khopi leh insang a lam khawng uh en dingin a hoh suka.

⁵And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.

⁶Huan, Toupan ngai dih ua, mipi te pumkhat ahi ua, a vek un lah pau khat a nei ngal ua; hiai thil a hih pan uhi; tun jaw a thilhih tup himhimte uh leng kham vual a hita kei ding.

⁶And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.

⁷Kisa un, I va hoh suk ding, pau a kitheituah theihlouhna ding un, huailaiah a pau uh I vasuklamdangsak ding, a chi a.

⁷Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.

⁸Huchiin, Toupan amaute huai akipanin lei tengteng ah a dalhsaka: huchiin a kho bawl uh a tawpsanta uhi.

⁸So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.

⁹Huaijiakin a min Babel a chi uh; Toupan amaute leitung tengteng ah a dalhsakta hi.

⁹Therefore is 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.

¹⁰Hiai Sem suante ahi uh. Sem kum ja a upa ahi, tuichim tun nung kum nih nungin tapa Arpaksad a nei hi.

²⁶Huan, Terahin, kum sawm sagih ahihin tapa Abram te, Nahor te, Haran te a nei hi.

²⁶And Terah lived seventy years, and begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran.

²⁷Huan, hiaite Terah suante ahi uh. Terahin tapa Abram te, Nahor te, Haran te a neia; huan, Haranin tapa Lota a nei.

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.

³⁰Huan, Sarai a chiinga; ta himhim a neikei.

³⁰But Sarai was barren; she had no child.
