Postanak 11
1 Sva je zemlja imala jedan jezik i riječi iste.
And the earth was of one tongue, and of the same speech.
2 Ali kako su se ljudi selili s istoka, naiđu na jednu dolinu u zemlji Šinearu i tu se nastane.
And when they removed from the east, they found a plain in the land of Sennaar, and dwelt in it.
3 Jedan drugome reče: “Hajdemo praviti opeke te ih peći da otvrdnu!” Opeke im bile mjesto kamena, a paklina im služila za žbuku.
And each one said to his neighbour: Come, let us make brick, and bake them with fire. And they had brick instead of stones, and slime 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!”
And they said: Come, let us make a city and a tower, the top whereof may reach to heaven: and let us make our name famous before we be scattered abroad into all lands.
5 Jahve se spusti da vidi grad i toranj što su ga gradili sinovi čovječji.
And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of Adam 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 he said: Behold, it is one people, and all have one tongue: and they have begun to do this, neither will they leave off from their designs, till they accomplish them in deed.
7 Hajde da siđemo i jezik im pobrkamo, da jedan drugome govora ne razumije.”
Come ye, therefore, let us go down, and there confound their tongue, that they may not understand one another’s speech.
8 Tako ih Jahve rasu odande po svoj zemlji te ne sazidaše grada.
And so the Lord scattered them from that place into all lands, and they ceased to build 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.
And therefore the name thereof was called Babel, because there the language of the whole earth was confounded: and from thence the Lord scattered them abroad upon the face of all countries.
10 Ovo su potomci Šemovi: Kad je Šemu bilo sto godina - dvije godine poslije Potopa - rodi mu se Arpakšad.
These are the generations of Sem: Sem was a hundred years old when he begot Arphaxad, two years after the flood.

26 Kad je Terahu bilo sedamdeset godina, rode mu se: Abram, Nahor i Haran.
And Thare lived seventy years, and begot Abram, and Nachor, and Aran.
27 Ovo je povijest Terahova. Terahu se rodio Abram, Nahor i Haran; a Haranu se rodio Lot.
And these are the generations of Thare: Thare begot Abram, Nachor, and Aran. And Aran begot Lot.
28 Haran umrije za života svoga oca Teraha, u svome rodnom kraju, u Uru Kaldejskom.
And Aran died before Thare his father, in the land of his nativity in Ur of the Chaldees.
29 Abram se i Nahor ožene. Abramovoj ženi bijaše ime Saraja, a Nahorovoj Milka; ova je bila kći Harana, oca Milke i Jiske.
And Abram and Nachor married wives: the name of Abram’s wife was Sarai: and the name of Nachor’s wife, Melcha, the daughter of Aran, father of Melcha, and father of Jescha.
30 Saraja bijaše nerotkinja - nije imala poroda.
And Sarai was barren, and had no children.
31 Terah povede svoga sina Abrama, svog unuka Lota, sina Haranova, svoju snahu Saraju, ženu svoga sina Abrama, pa se zaputi s njima iz Ura Kaldejskoga u zemlju kanaansku. Kad stignu do Harana, ondje se nastane.
And Thare took Abram, his son, and Lot the son of Aran, his son’s son, and Sarai his daughter in law, the wife of Abram his son, and brought them out of Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Chanaan: and they came as far as Haran, and dwelt there.
32 Dob Terahova dosegnu dvjesta i pet godina; a onda Terah umrije u Haranu.
And the days of Thare were two hundred and five years, and he died in Haran.
