Genesis 11
1 And all the earth was one lip, and there was one language to all.
Erat autem terra labii unius, et sermonum eorumdem.
2 And it came to pass as they moved from the east, they found a plain in the land of Senaar, and they lived there.
Cumque proficiscerentur de oriente, invenerunt campum in terra Senaar, et habitaverunt in eo.
3 And a man said to his neighbour, Come, let us make bricks and bake them with fire. And the brick was to them for stone, and their mortar was bitumen.
Dixitque alter ad proximum suum: Venite, faciamus lateres, et coquamus eos igni. Habueruntque lateres pro saxis, et bitumen pro cæmento:
4 And they said, Come, let us build to ourselves a city and tower, whose top shall be to heaven, and let us make to ourselves a name, before we are scattered abroad upon the face of all the earth.
et dixerunt: Venite, faciamus nobis civitatem et turrim, cuius culmen pertingat ad cælum: et celebremus nomen nostrum antequam dividamur in universas terras.
5 And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the sons of men built.
Descendit autem Dominus ut videret civitatem et turrim, quam ædificabant filii Adam,
6 And the Lord said, Behold, [there is] one race, and one lip of all, and they have begun to do this, and now nothing shall fail from them of all that they may have undertaken to do.
et dixit: Ecce, unus est populus, et unum labium omnibus: cœperuntque hoc facere, nec desistent a cogitationibus suis, donec eas opere compleant.
7 Come, and having gone down let us there confound their tongue, that they may not understand each the voice of his neighbour.
Venite igitur, descendamus, et confundamus ibi linguam eorum, ut non audiat unusquisque vocem proximi sui.
8 And the Lord scattered them thence over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city and the tower.
Atque ita divisit eos Dominus ex illo loco in universas terras, et cessaverunt ædificare civitatem.
9 On this account its name was called Confusion, because there the Lord confounded the languages of all the earth, and thence the Lord scattered them upon the face of all the earth.
Et idcirco vocatum est nomen eius Babel, quia ibi confusum est labium universæ terræ: et inde dispersit eos Dominus super faciem cunctarum regionum.

28 And Arrhan died in the presence of Tharrha his father, in the land in which he was born, in the country of the Chaldees.
Mortuusque est Aran ante Thare patrem suum, in terra nativitatis suæ in Ur Chaldæorum.
29 And Abram and Nachor took to themselves wives, the name of the wife of Abram was Sara, and the name of the wife of Nachor, Malcha, daughter of Arrhan, and he was the father of Malcha, the father of Jescha.
Duxerunt autem Abram et Nachor uxores: nomen uxoris Abram, Sarai: et nomen uxoris Nachor, Melcha filia Aran patris Melchæ, et patris Ieschæ.
30 And Sara was barren, and did not bear children.
Erat autem Sarai sterilis, nec habebat liberos.
31 And Tharrha took Abram his son, and Lot the son Arrhan, the son of his son, and Sara his daughter-in-law, the wife of Abram his son, and led them forth out of the land of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Chanaan, and they came as far as Charrhan, and he lived there.
Tulit itaque Thare Abram filium suum, et Lot filium Aran, filium filii sui, et Sarai nurum suam, uxorem Abram filii sui, et eduxit eos de Ur Chaldæorum, ut irent in terram Chanaan: veneruntque usque Haran, et habitaverunt ibi.

Et facti sunt dies Thare ducentorum quinque annorum, et mortuus est in Haran.
