Postanak 11
1 Sva je zemlja imala jedan jezik i riječi iste.
Now the whole world had one language and a common form of speech.
2 Ali kako su se ljudi selili s istoka, naiđu na jednu dolinu u zemlji Šinearu i tu se nastane.
And as people journeyed eastward, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there.
3 Jedan drugome reče: “Hajdemo praviti opeke te ih peći da otvrdnu!” Opeke im bile mjesto kamena, a paklina im služila za žbuku.
And they said to one another, “Come, let us make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” So they used brick instead of stone, and tar instead of mortar.
4 Onda rekoše: “Hajde da sebi podignemo grad i toranj s vrhom do neba! Pribavimo sebi ime, da se ne raspršimo po svoj zemlji!”
“Come,” they said, “let us build for ourselves a city with a tower that reaches to the heavens, that we may make a name for ourselves and not be scattered over the face of all the earth.”
5 Jahve se spusti da vidi grad i toranj što su ga gradili sinovi čovječji.
Then the LORD came down to see the city and the tower that the sons of men were building.
6 Jahve reče. “Zbilja su jedan narod, s jednim jezikom za sve! Ovo je tek početak njihovih nastojanja. Sad im ništa neće biti neostvarivo što god naume izvesti.
And the LORD said, “If they have begun to do this as one people speaking the same language, then nothing they devise will be beyond them.
7 Hajde da siđemo i jezik im pobrkamo, da jedan drugome govora ne razumije.”
Come, let Us go down and confuse their language, so that they will not understand one another’s speech.”
8 Tako ih Jahve rasu odande po svoj zemlji te ne sazidaše grada.
So the LORD scattered them from there over the face of all the earth, and they stopped building the city.
9 Stoga mu je ime Babel, jer je ondje Jahve pobrkao govor svima u onom kraju i odande ih je Jahve raspršio po svoj zemlji.
That is why it is called Babel, for there the LORD confused the language of the whole world, and from that place the LORD scattered them over the face of all the earth.

But Sarai was barren; she had no children.

And Terah took his son Abram, his grandson Lot son of Haran, and his daughter-in-law Sarai the wife of Abram, and they set out from Ur of the Chaldeans for the land of Canaan. But when they arrived in Haran, they settled there.

Terah lived 205 years, and he died in Haran.
