The Tower of Babel (Genesis 11: 1-9)
Motu
- Tanobada idoinai taunimanima iboudiai gadodia be tamona, eredia danau heḡereḡere.
- Nega ta, mairiveina kahana amo e laolaova ai, idia ese taora ta e davaria, Sinara kahana ai, bena unuseni ai e nohova.
- Bene idia na e hereva heheni, eto, Mani raro nadidia aita kara, aita tunu namonamo. Bene idia ese e tunu rarodia e abi, nadi ai e halao, bona rarokaka ta e abia, hekamo ḡauna ai e halaoa.
- Bene idia ma eto, Mani hanua ta aita hadaia, bona kohoro ta danu, kohoro dorina na guba ai baine kau; unu amo harida hadaea, tanobada kopina ai baita loa eva-eva na garina.
- Bena Iehova e diho, hanua bona kohoro Adam besena ese larebaia baine itaia eto.
- Iehova eto, Idia na bese tamona, iboudiai danu edia gado tamona; ina na idia ese eme karaia matama, gabeai ḡau ta ikarana ma bae ura, daika ese baine laodia ahu?
- Aina diho, edia gado baina ha-idaua, bene edia hereva na basie hediba heheni.
- Taunabunai, Iehova ese e hakarohodia rohoroho, tanobada kahadia idoidiai; edia hanua ilarebana danu e hadokoa.
- Taunabunai, una gabu ladana e hatoa Babel; badina be unuseni ai Iehova ese taunimanima edia gado e ha-idaua, bona unu amio ia ese e hakarohodia rohoroho, tanobada kahadia idoidiai.
