1 un = holo munda pa habe mo lingua e un komuni glosa. 2 Tem plu andro pa iti est= , mu pa basi un plati-lo intra Shinar e pa decide la.

3 They said to each = other, “Come, let’s make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” They used brick= instead of stone, and tar for mortar. 4 Then they said, “Come, let us bui= ld 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 wh= ole earth.”

3 Mu pa dice ad alelo, “Veni e na fu face plu brika e kura fu= rna mu.” Mu pa uti brika vice lito; e bitumino te brika glu. 4 Po-co mu p= a dice, “Veni e na fu face un civita; ko un turi te veni ad un urani; pro = face na establi e ne es difusi dia un facia de un holo mundo.”

5 But the = LORD came down to see the city and the tower that the men were building. 6= The LORD said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have beg= un to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. 7= Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understa= nd each other.”
