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

Livvi-Karelian (livvin kieli)

Vavilonan bašn՚u

  1. Kogo muailmas oli yksi kieli, yhtet samazet sanat.
  2. Rahvas liikuttih päivännouzupuolespäi, hyö löyttih lagevus Sennaaran muas, da jiädih sinne elämäh.
  3. «Luajimmo kirpičät, poltammo net tules», sanottih hyö toine toizele. I roittih heil kirpičät kiven sijas, a muan tervu oli savennu.
  4. «Luajimmo ičele linnan da bašn՚an, kudai rodieu taivahassah», sanottih rahvas, «Muga suammo ičele suuren nimen, enne gu leviemmö kaikkie muadu myö.»
  5. Ižändy heityi taivahaspäi kaččomah linnua da bašn՚ua, kuduadu rahvas nostettih.
  6. Häi sanoi: «Nygöi hyö ollah yksi rahvas, heil on yksi kieli. Midä hyö luajittih, se on vai algu. Hyö voijah luadie kai, mih otetahes!
  7. Menemmö heijän keskeh da sevoitammo heijän kielen, anna hyö ei ellendetä toine toizen paginua.»
  8. I muga Ižändy levitti heidy siepäi muailmua myö, hyö heitettih linnan [da bašn՚an] luajindu.
  9. Linnu sai nimen Vavilon*, sikse gu sie Ižändy sevoitti kaiken muan kielen da siepäi levitti rahvahii kaikkie muadu myö.

*Vavilon (algutekstois Babel) mustoittau sanua balal «sevoittua».
