The Tower of Babel (Genesis 11: 1-9)

āori Kūki 'Āirani (Rarotongan)

Te patu ra te tangata ia Babela

  1. Okotai ua oki o to te ao katoa nei reo, okotai oki tuatua.
  2. E te aere ua tetai papaki o ratou, mei te itinga o te rā mai, e kite atura ratou i tetai ngai mania ka ua i te enua ra ko Sinara; e noo iora ratou ki reira.
  3. E kua tuatua iora ratou ki tetai ki tetai, Taki aere tatou, e anga i te karakaraea, ka ta’u ei ki te ai. Ko ta ratou ïa toka ko te karakaraea, e te hemera ei ngaika na ratou.
  4. E kua na ko iora ratou, Taki aere tatou, ka patu i tetai oire no tatou, e tetai punanga, kia tae ua atu te take ki runga i te rangi ra, kia kitea totatou ingoa; ko te pueurikiriki ke ua atu aea tatou e pini ua ake te enua katoa nei.
  5. E kua eke mairā Iehova ki raro e akara i taua oire ra, e taua punanga ra, e patuia e te tamariki a te tangata ra.
  6. E kua tuatua iorā Iehova, i na, okotai ua ïa aronga nei, e okotai rai oki reo to ratou katoa ra; e te rave nei oki ratou i taua mea nei; e kare rava oki ratou e kore i te rave ‘i tei akakoroia e ratou ra:
  7. Taki aere tatou ki raro, e akatareva ke i to ratou reo i reira, kia kore tetai e kite i to tetai ra reo.
  8. I reira to Iehova akapueurikiriki ke anga ia ratou, ki runga i te enua katoa e pini ua ake: e akapaki akera ratou i te patu i taua oire ra.
  9. I tapaia ‘i oki tona ingoa ko Babela; no te mea, i reira to Iehova akatareva ke anga i te reo o te tangata katoa; e kua akapueurikiriki ke a Iehova ia ratou, ki runga i te enua katoa e pini ua ake i reira.
