The Tower of Babel (Genesis 11: 1-9)
Koyraboro Senni
Babel soorohugu kukoo cinayanoo
- Zaman tee kaŋ aduɲɲa kul, šenni follokaa, nda kalima follokey no i gʼa šelaŋ.
- Kaŋ adamizey saraysaray ka koy waynahunay here, i dii taraŋtaraŋ foo kaŋ goo gandaa ra kaŋ maaɲoo ti Šineyar. I na no din tee ngi gorodogoo.
- I nee cere se: «Wa kaa, ir ma ferawyaŋ kar kʼi ton nuune ra.» I mana tondi ka cina, feraw nda i cina. Guduroŋ ti hayaa kaŋ ga ferawey kanji cere ga.
- I nee cere se koyne: «Wa kaa, ir ma koyra cin ir boŋ se kaŋ ra soorohugu kuku goo kaŋ boŋoo ga too beenaa. Ir ma maa tee ir boŋ se hala ir masi duu ka say-say laboo kul boŋ.»
- Abadantaa zunbu ka dii koyraa nda soorohugu kukoo kaŋ adamizey nʼi cin.
- Woo banda ga, a nee nga boŋ se: «Nga ne, i tee jama foo, i ga šenni follokaa šelaŋ. Woo ti šintinoo hinne! Sohõ haya sii no kaŋ gʼi ganji i ma haya tee kaŋ i baa.
- Wa kaa, ir ma zunbu ka ngi šennoo ɲaami cere ra hala affoo kul masi maa nga ceroo šennoo.»
- No din ra Abadantaa na borey say-say laboo kul ga, de i tun koyraa cinayanoo ga.
- Woo se i ga nee a se Babel*, zama no din ra Abadantaa na aduɲɲa kul šennoo ɲaami cere ra. No din mo ra Abadantaa na adamizey say-say laboo kul ga.
* 11:9 Ebere hantumoo ra, Babel nda ɲaamiyaŋ kalimawey ga baa ka hima.
