Genesis 11
1 At that time the whole world spoke just one language and used words with the same meaning.
Era, então, toda a terra de uma língua e umas mesmas palavras.
2 As they moved east they discovered a plain in the land of Shinar so they settled there.
E aconteceu que, quando se partiram do oriente, acharam um vale na terra de Sinear; e ali passaram a habitar.
3 They said to one another, “Come on, let's make some bricks and bake them with fire.” (They used brick instead of stone, and tar instead of cement).
E disseram uns aos outros: Vinde, façamos tijolos e o cozamos com fogo. E foi-lhes os tijolos em lugar de pedra, e o betume em lugar de argamassa.
4 Then they said, “Now let's build a city for ourselves with a tower whose top reaches the heavens. That way we'll gain a great reputation and we won't end up being scattered all over the world.”
E disseram: Vamos, edifiquemo-nos uma cidade e uma torre, cuja ponta chegue ao céu; e façamo-nos um nome, para que não sejamos espalhados sobre a face de toda a terra.
5 But the Lord came down to take a look at the city and the tower that the people were building.
E desceu o SENHOR para ver a cidade e a torre que edificavam os filhos dos homens.
6 The Lord said, “Look! These people are united and they all speak one language. If this is what they can do now when they're just getting started, nothing will be impossible for them when they all put their minds to it!
E disse o SENHOR: Eis que o povo é um, e todos estes têm uma língua; e começaram a agir, e nada lhes restringirá agora do que pensaram fazer.
7 We need to go down and mix up their language and make it confused so they won't be able to understand what they're saying to one other.”
Agora, pois, desçamos, e confundamos ali suas línguas, para que ninguém entenda a fala de seu companheiro.
8 The Lord sent them away from there and scattered them all over the world, and they gave up building the city.
Assim os espalhou o SENHOR desde ali sobre a face de toda a terra, e deixaram de edificar a cidade.
9 That's why it was called Babel, because the Lord made the language of the world confused.
Por isto foi chamado o nome dela Babel, porque ali confundiu o SENHOR a língua de toda a terra, e desde ali os espalhou sobre a face de toda a terra.

Estas são as gerações de Terá: Terá gerou a Abrão, e a Naor, e a Harã; e Harã gerou a Ló.
28 However, Haran died while his father, Terah, was still alive, in Ur of the Chaldeans, the land of his birth.
E morreu Harã antes que seu pai Terá na terra de seu nascimento, em Ur dos caldeus.
29 Abram and Nahor both got married. 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).
E tomaram Abrão e Naor para si mulheres: o nome da mulher de Abrão foi Sarai, e o nome da mulher de Naor, Milca, filha de Harã, pai de Milca e de Iscá.
30 Sarai wasn't able to become pregnant and so had no children.
Mas Sarai era estéril, e não tinha filho.
31 Terah took his son Abram, his grandson Lot, (who was the son of Haran), his daughter-in-law Sarai, (the wife of his son Abram), and left Ur of the Chaldeans to move to the land of Canaan. They got as far as Haran and settled there.
E tomou Terá a Abrão seu filho, e a Ló filho de Harã, filho de seu filho, e a Sarai sua nora, mulher de Abrão seu filho: e saiu com eles de Ur dos caldeus, para ir à terra de Canaã: e vieram até Harã, e assentaram ali.
32 Terah lived for 205 years and died in Haran.
E foram os dias de Terá duzentos e cinco anos; e morreu Terá em Harã.
