The Tower of Babel (Genesis 11: 1-9)
Acholi (Lwo)
Gigero ot ma wiye ocudo malo i Babel
- Lobo ducu onoŋo tye ki leb acel, ki lok bene onoŋo lam.
- Ka dano gucako dak nia ki tuŋ wokceŋ, gunoŋo lobo mubedo bar i lobo Cinar, ci gubedo iye kunnu.
- Ka gucako lok kakengi ni, “Wubin, wek watimu matafali, wawaŋgi woko matek.” Ci gutiyo ki matafali ma ka got, ki odok macol lamwon kingi.
- Dok guwaco ni, “Wubin, wek wageru gaŋwa, ki ot ma wiye ocudo malo ogudo polo, wek wamiyu nyiŋwa oyweki, wek pe waket woko ata i wi lobo ducu.”
- Ka Rwot olor piny ka neno gaŋ ki ot ma wiye ocudo malo ma litino pa dano gugero,
- Rwot owacci, “Nen, guribbe rok acel, ki lebgi bene acel; man aye pud acakki gin ma gibitiyo, dok gin ma gibitamo pi tiyone pe doŋ biloyogi.
- Wubin waloru piny, warbu legbi woko, wek ŋat acel acel pe oniaŋ leb pa wadi.”
- Kit meno Rwot okeyogi woko nia ki kunnu, guromo lono ducu, ci guweko gero gaŋ meno.
- Mumiyo nyiŋe gucako ni Babel, pien kenyo aye Rwot orubo iye leb ducu ma i lobo, dok Rwot okeyogi woko nia ki kunnu, guromo lobo ducu.
