Genesis 11
1 Then the whole earth was of one language and one speache.
Erat autem terra labii unius, et sermonum eorumdem.
2 And as they went from the East, they found a plaine in the land of Shinar, and there they abode.
Cumque proficiscerentur de oriente, invenerunt campum in terra Sennaar, et habitaverunt in eo.
3 And they said one to another, Come, let vs make bricke, and burne it in the fire. So they had bricke for stone, and slime had they in steade of morter.
Dixitque alter ad proximum suum: Venite, faciamus lateres, et coquamus eos igni. Habueruntque lateres pro saxis, et bitumen pro cæmento:
4 Also they said, Goe to, let vs builde vs a citie and a towre, whose top may reache vnto the heauen, that we may get vs a name, lest we be scattered vpon the whole earth.
et dixerunt: Venite, faciamus nobis civitatem et turrim, cujus culmen pertingat ad cælum: et celebremus nomen nostrum antequam dividamur in universas terras.
5 But the Lord came downe, to see the citie and towre, which the sonnes of men builded.
Descendit autem Dominus ut videret civitatem et turrim, quam ædificabant filii Adam,
6 And the Lord said, Beholde, the people is one, and they all haue one language, and this they begin to doe, neither can they now be stopped from whatsoeuer they haue imagined 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 on, let vs goe downe, and there confound their language, that euery one perceiue not anothers speache.
Venite igitur, descendamus, et confundamus ibi linguam eorum, ut non audiat unusquisque vocem proximi sui.
8 So ye Lord scattered them from thence vpon all the earth, and they left off to build the citie.
Atque ita divisit eos Dominus ex illo loco in universas terras, et cessaverunt ædificare civitatem.
9 Therefore the name of it was called Babel, because the Lord did there confounde the language of all the earth: from thence then did the Lord scatter them vpon all the earth.
Et idcirco vocatum est nomen ejus Babel, quia ibi confusum est labium universæ terræ: et inde dispersit eos Dominus super faciem cunctarum regionum.
10 These are the generations of Shem: Shem was an hundreth yeere olde, and begate Arpachshad two yeere after the flood.
Hæ sunt generationes Sem: Sem erat centum annorum quando genuit Arphaxad, biennio post diluvium.
11 And Shem liued, after he begate Arpachshad, fiue hundreth yeeres, and begate sonnes and daughters.
Vixitque Sem, postquam genuit Arphaxad, quingentis annis: et genuit filios et filias.
12 Also Arpachshad liued fiue and thirtie yeeres, and begate Shelah.
Porro Arphaxad vixit triginta quinque annis, et genuit Sale.
13 And Arpachshad liued, after he begate Shelah, foure hundreth and three yeeres, and begate sonnes and daughters.
Vixitque Arphaxad, postquam genuit Sale, trecentis tribus annis: et genuit filios et filias.
14 And Shelah liued thirtie yeeres, and begat Eber.
Sale quoque vixit triginta annis, et genuit Heber.
15 So Shelah liued, after he begat Eber, foure hundreth and three yeeres, and begat sonnes and daughters.
Vixitque Sale, postquam genuit Heber, quadringentis tribus annis: et genuit filios et filias.
16 Likewise Eber liued foure and thirtie yeres, and begate Peleg.
Vixit autem Heber triginta quatuor annis, et genuit Phaleg.
17 So Eber liued, after he begate Peleg, foure hundreth and thirtie yeeres, and begate sonnes and daughters
Et vixit Heber postquam genuit Phaleg, quadringentis triginta annis: et genuit filios et filias.
18 And Peleg liued thirtie yeeres, and begate Reu.
Vixit quoque Phaleg triginta annis, et genuit Reu.
19 And Peleg liued, after he begate Reu, two hundreth and nine yeeres, and begate sonnes and daughters.
Vixitque Phaleg, postquam genuit Reu, ducentis novem annis: et genuit filios et filias.
20 Also Reu liued two and thirtie yeeres, and begate Serug.
Vixit autem Reu triginta duobus annis, et genuit Sarug.
21 So Reu liued, after he begate Serug, two hundreth and seuen yeeres, and begate sonnes and daughters.
Vixit quoque Reu, postquam genuit Sarug, ducentis septem annis: et genuit filios et filias.
22 Moreouer Serug liued thirtie yeeres, and begate Nahor.
Vixit vero Sarug triginta annis, et genuit Nachor.
23 And Serug liued, after he begate Nahor, two hundreth yeeres, and begate sonnes and daughters.
Vixitque Sarug, postquam genuit Nachor, ducentis annis: et genuit filios et filias.
24 And Nahor liued nine and twentie yeeres, and begate Terah.
Vixit autem Nachor viginti novem annis, et genuit Thare.
25 So Nahor liued, after he begate Terah, an hundreth and nineteene yeeres, and begat sonnes and daughters.
Vixitque Nachor, postquam genuit Thare, centum decem et novem annis: et genuit filios et filias.
26 So Terah liued seuentie yeeres, and begate Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
Vixitque Thare septuaginta annis, et genuit Abram, et Nachor, et Aran.
27 Nowe these are the generations of Terah: Terah begate Abram, Nahor, and Haran: and Haran begate Lot.
Hæ sunt autem generationes Thare: Thare genuit Abram, Nachor et Aran. Porro Aran genuit Lot.
28 Then Haran died before Terah his father in the land of his natiuitie, in Vr of the Caldees.
Mortuusque est Aran ante Thare patrem suum, in terra nativitatis suæ, in Ur Chaldæorum.
29 So Abram and Nahor tooke them wiues. The name of Abrams wife was Sarai, and the name of Nahors wife Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah.
Duxerunt autem Abram et Nachor uxores: nomen uxoris Abram, Sarai: et nomen uxoris Nachor, Melcha filia Aran, patris Melchæ, et patris Jeschæ.
30 But Sarai was barren, and had no childe.
Erat autem Sarai sterilis, nec habebat liberos.
31 Then Terah tooke Abram his sonne, and Lot the sonne of Haran, his sonnes sonne, and Sarai his daughter in lawe, his sonne Abrams wife: and they departed together from Vr of the Caldees, to goe into the land of Canaan, and they came to Haran, and dwelt 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.
32 So the dayes of Terah were two hundreth and fiue yeeres, and Terah died in Haran.
Et facti sunt dies Thare ducentorum quinque annorum, et mortuus est in Haran.
