In the house of a certain farmer there lived a snake who regularly came to the table and was fed on scraps of food. Not long afterwards the farmer grew rich, but then he became angry at the snake and tried to attack him with an axe. The farmer then lost his wealth and he realized that he had prospered because of the good luck he had gained from the snake before having wounded him. The farmer then begged the snake to forgive him for his evil deed, and the snake replied, "You are sorry for what you have done, but you must not expect me to be your faithful friend until this scar heals. It is not possible for me to be truly reconciled to you until all thought of that treacherous axe has left my mind."

And all the earth had one language and one tongue. And it came about that in their wandering from the east, they came to a stretch of flat country in the land of Shinar, and there they made their living-place. And they said one to another, Come, let us make bricks, burning them well. And they had bricks for stone, putting them together with sticky earth. And they said, Come, let us make a town, and a tower whose top will go up as high as heaven; and let us make a great name for ourselves, so that we may not be wanderers over the face of the earth. And the Lord came down to see the town and the tower which the children of men were building. And the Lord said, See, they are all one people and have all one language; and this is only the start of what they may do: and now it will not be possible to keep them from any purpose of theirs. Come, let us go down and take away the sense of their language, so that they will not be able to make themselves clear to one another. So the Lord God sent them away into every part of the earth: and they gave up building their town. So it was named Babel, because there the Lord took away the sense of all languages and from there the Lord sent them away over all the face of the earth.

9. Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.

8. Ta wē ta ATĀ gibatsarū ka ta kō ga mada hanan, mā hokitsarā banari o ta sovō.

6. And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.

5. Mā ta ATĀ runatsā zēyari o ta sovō so ta miga, i mō ta āgit ōluden banatsarā.

5. And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.

4. Mā zēyatsarā: kā'ē, o sovō so miga māgē, i mō ta taha ka ta hangi rakha moma; mā o galo kata māgē, giberetōnā ka ta kō ga mada hanan.

4. And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.

3. Mā sizēyatsarā: kā'ē, o bothet māga haterū, dī vonnē iron. Mā tavitsarā o ta bothet po ta shō, mā ta toi po ta jigë.

3. And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter.

2. Mā aratsarā ni wā hōkāate ri ta somë, ta wahi takatsarā o haku ni ta zama ga Shinā; mā ta wahi thillarā.

2. And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.
