1A. Now the whole world had one language and a common speech.
1. Wnset, athg Thejr lohigk sevah vjas eng samjenkalt naavigk, nja eng kalt
samigk.

2A. As men moved eastward, they found a plain in Shinar and settled there.
2. Ythg hren seog vjas tethg ce, rejthset, sejdynf vjas nja uttjelse neng
saemjenret nethg Shinar.

3A. They said to each other, "Come, let's make bricks and bake them
thoroughly." They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar.
3. Athg chi sedes vjas tethg chi < Hra! thikejm ejng kibrer nja thikejb
ruthlik. >
Sejsju vjas ejthg kibrer vostejdinlik ejng kar, nja sejsju sjethg morter lik
ejng raat.

4A. Then they said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that
reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves and not be
scattered over the face of the whole earth."
4. Rejthset, sejdes vjas < Hra! sikejm frejthg saa lik eng rysh. Sevah vil
eng vreta, nja sechijr vil tethg mithkol. Athg saat sekejm vil frejthg saa
lik eng mejn, nja sjira vil tont skethg saf lohjenthejrigk. >

5A. But the Lord camedown to see the city and the tower that the men were
building.
5. Nethset, athg mithhren sevjen sekul tethg rysh lik, njalik tethg vreta,
kigk ythg hren sekejm.

6A. The Lord said, "If as one people speaking the same language they have
begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them.
6. Athg mithhren sedes < Ef, sejud kwst sejkalt ethg samjengant lik ethg kja
sithigk, than, ythg ginth lygk, kigk sejtanv, sejud vil. >

7A. Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not
understand each other."
7. < Hra! synikpa vil ethg samjenkalt ejthigk. Athg saat thjekejm tont sejkon
ethg kalt threoigk. >

8A. So the Lord scattered them from there over all the earth, and they
stopped building the city.
8. Nethset, athg mithhren thetu skethg saf lohjenrejthigk. Athg saat separ
sejkejm ethg rysh lik.

9A. That is why it was called Babel -- because there the Lord confused the
language of the whole world. From there the Lord scattered them over the face
of the whole earth.
9. Athg mithhren senikpa ethg kalt lohjenrejthigk, nja athg thetu skethg saf
lohjenrejthigk. Athg saat sekwst, selak ethg Babel.
