The Tower of Babel (Genesis 11: 1-9)
Mato
Numa Maxaxayam Sibuna Babel
- Muga lipu titiam longgalo xuading taininau, haruanga tela te.
- Lipudi dila dila duwa karagia, baing disok mana goma sabanga tela wa titia Sinar, saing dirung la ba.
- Baing daharua na ding ba, “Ama, tatongtongia birikdi, tataudi yabia bu daharing.” Binabu ditongtongia axamandi birigia. Ditongtongia saingia te. Baing ditaga birikdi mana kolta. Ditaga mana simen te.
- Saking daharua ba, “Ama, tatongtongia long sabanga tela nakira xaung numa maxaxayam tela haing mala laing sok taxa sabalunia. Bila balau bagula ramramora sabanga, nam tasup mala mana titi longgalo hataing hataina.”
- Baing TOXORATAMONA ri ma ba bagu long sabangga xaung numa maxaxaya lipu titiamgadi ditongtongia.
- Baing TOXORATAMONA harua ba, “Lipadi li bakbak taininau xuading taininau. Nabu dungguti ba dilibu bila li, bing bagula dilibu axamang longgalo dahau hatumingadinga ba dilibudi.
- Ama, tari mala bu talibudi dahasuxi mana xuadinga bu daxabia riadingdi xuadingdi te.”
- Binabu TOXORATAMONA utudi saing disup mala mana titi longgalo hataing hataina, saing disauya oxatua mana long sabangga ba.
- Namua naga duxu long sabangga ba Babel*. Namua na TOXORATAMONA libu lipu titiam longgalo dahasuxi mana xuadinga. Baing utudi saing disup mala mana titi longgalo hataing hataina.
* 11:9 Mana Hibru xuana, yaya Babel bibinganoa bila haruanga marang tela, namuxinoa ba libu hasuxi.
