The Tower of Babel (Genesis 11: 1-9)

Ba'a (Lole)

Uma madema Babel

1. Nai lele uluk ele, basa hataholi malai daebafok ia, ala kokolak lenik kada dedeꞌak esa.

2. Faik fo sila nggelok, ala mulai lali leni dulu leu, ala losa lai dae matetuk esa, nai Sinear, boe ma ala leo leu ndia.*

3-4 Sila basa sala lala halak lae, “Wei! Tolanoo nggalei! Mai ita tambadedeik tala kota inahuuk esa. Ita musi tao batubata, fo basa, na, ata hotun losa natea. Ma ata takatotodok batubata la sila lenik ter. Basa na, ata tambadedei uma madema katataꞌdak esa, fo mbunin losa lalai, suek ita hambu nadek. Ela ita dadik nusa inahuuk fo taa natanggenggelak.”

5. Boe ma, LAMATUAK konda, de Ana titilo sudik kota ndia, ma uma madema katatadak, fo ala lambadedein ndia.

6. Boe ma, Ana kokolak, nae, “Basa hataholi la ia, nusak esa, ma ala kokolak lenik dedeꞌak esa. Hata fo ala taok hatematak ia, bei fo kada mulai ngganggani kaesan. Mbila binesak, mete ma basa sala lakabubua leu esa, leo hatematak ia, na, neu ko ala bisa kada tao sudi hata.

7. Malolenak Ita konda, fo tao kofeꞌek sila dedeꞌa nala, suek sila taa bubuluk esa no esa kokolan.”

8. Boe ma, Lamatuak konda, de Ana tao babalik sila dedeꞌa nala. No leondiak, Ana tao hataholi la sila, latanggenggelak leni basa mamanak lai daebafok ia. Boe ma, ala taa tao lakandoo kota ndia.

9. Huu ndia, de ala foi kota ndia, nade Babel (fo hihii sama leo dedeꞌa deꞌek esa, fo ndandaan nae, ‘lakandaa’). Huu LAMATUAK tao babalik sila dedeꞌan, ma fee sala latanggenggelak leni sudi bee leu, lai daebafok ia.

* 11:2 ‘Leni dulu leu’, nai dedeꞌa Ibrani, na, ndia ndandaan boe oo nae, ‘neme dulu mai’. Sinear, nade feꞌen ‘Babel’.
