Genesis 11
1 Now the whole world had one language and a common form of speech.
erat autem terra labii unius et sermonum eorundem
2 And as people journeyed eastward, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there.
cumque proficiscerentur de oriente invenerunt campum in terra Sennaar et habitaverunt in eo
3 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.
dixitque alter ad proximum suum venite faciamus lateres et coquamus eos igni habueruntque lateres pro saxis et bitumen pro cemento
4 “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.”
et dixerunt venite faciamus nobis civitatem et turrem cuius culmen pertingat ad caelum et celebremus nomen nostrum antequam dividamur in universas terras
5 Then the LORD came down to see the city and the tower that the sons of men were building.
descendit autem Dominus ut videret civitatem et turrem quam aedificabant filii Adam
6 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.
et dixit ecce unus est populus et unum labium omnibus coeperuntque hoc facere nec desistent a cogitationibus suis donec eas opere conpleant
7 Come, let Us go down and confuse their language, so that they will not understand one another’s speech.”
venite igitur descendamus et confundamus ibi linguam eorum ut non audiat unusquisque vocem proximi sui
8 So the LORD scattered them from there over the face of all the earth, and they stopped building the city.
atque ita divisit eos Dominus ex illo loco in universas terras et cessaverunt aedificare civitatem
9 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.
et idcirco vocatum est nomen eius Babel quia ibi confusum est labium universae terrae et inde dispersit eos Dominus super faciem cunctarum regionum

28 During his father Terah’s lifetime, Haran died in his native land, in Ur of the Chaldeans.
mortuusque est Aran ante Thare patrem suum in terra nativitatis suae in Ur Chaldeorum
29 And Abram and Nahor took wives for themselves. Abram’s wife was named Sarai, and Nahor’s wife was named Milcah; she was the daughter of Haran, who was the father of both Milcah and Iscah.
duxerunt autem Abram et Nahor uxores nomen autem uxoris Abram Sarai et nomen uxoris Nahor Melcha filia Aran patris Melchae et patris Ieschae
30 But Sarai was barren; she had no children.
erat autem Sarai sterilis nec habebat liberos
31 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.
tulit itaque Thare Abram filium suum et Loth filium Aran filium filii sui et Sarai nurum suam uxorem Abram filii sui et eduxit eos de Ur Chaldeorum ut irent in terram Chanaan veneruntque usque Haran et habitaverunt ibi
32 Terah lived 205 years, and he died in Haran.
