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

Dhao

Manara Babel

1. Uru-uru tèka na, dhèu ètu rai-haha ne, dhoka lii èci di.

2. Lodꞌo rèngu cahagꞌe lasi asa ca bèka dhimu, ra dꞌai era mera ètu Sinear, ka ra pea ètu èèna.*

3-4 Rèngu aaꞌi-aaꞌi rare lii èci, aku rèngu na, “Aꞌari, ee! Mai ta patitu kota kapai aae cue. Ti tao hadhu bata; ti tunu paꞌadhu. Èèna na, èdhi pudhi sa dedha, ho ti tape dènge èi dama. Ho èèna na, ti patitu manara dedha aae èci, dhu kolo nèngu na dꞌai dedha-liru, sèna ka èdhi abhu kolongara kapai. Ho sèna ka èdhi jꞌajꞌi ca kabarai aae, dhu pahagꞌa ia ka.”

5. Hèia LAMATUA puru mai laladhe kota dènge manara dhu ra patitu èèna.

6. Ka Na peka na, “Dhèu rai-haha se, aaꞌi-aaꞌi ra ca kabarai, dènge lii èci di. Ngaa dhu rèngu tao ne, heka mulai kèna. Bèli-camèdꞌa ladhe rèngu aaꞌi-aaꞌi ra jꞌajꞌi mi èci sèmi neꞌe, èèna na, ngaa dhu rèngu neo tao, jꞌajꞌi aaꞌi mèumèu.

7. De beꞌa risi, Èdhi puru lati ho tao lii si baka-leo, ho sèna ka èci neꞌa boe lii èci.”

8. Hèia Lamatua puru, ka kakeho lii ra. Dènge jꞌara sèmi èèna, Na pacèri si palème rai-haha ne. Ka ra pakèdꞌi taruu heka kota deo na.

9. Nèti èèna ka, ra pangare kota na, Babel (dhu sasoa na ‘pabꞌingu’), lula LAMATUA kakeho lii ra, aa pacèri eele si palème rai-haha ne.

* 11:2 Lii Ibrani ‘lasi asa ca bèka dhimu’ sasoa na bisa kahèi ‘mai nèti ca bèka dhimu’. Ngara leo nèti Sinear, na, ‘Babel’.
