Genesis 11
1 And all the earth was one lip, and there was one language to all.
Og heile verdi hadde eitt tungemål og same ordi.
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.
Og det bar so til, då dei for austigjenom, at dei fann ei slette i Sinearlandet, og der slo dei seg ned.
3 And a man said to his neighbor, Come, let us make bricks and bake them with fire. And the brick was to them for stone, and their mortar was bitumen.
Og dei sagde seg imillom: «Kom, lat oss gjera tigl og brenna det vel!» Og so bruka dei tiglet til murstein, og i staden for kalk bruka dei jordbik.
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.
So sagde dei: «Kom, lat oss byggja oss ein by, med eit tårn som når upp i himmelen, og gjera oss namngjetne, so me ikkje vert spreidde utyver all jordi!»
5 And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the sons of men built.
Då steig Herren ned og vilde sjå byen og tårnet som manneborni bygde.
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.
Og Herren sagde: «Sjå dei er eitt folk, og alle hev dei eit tungemål, og dette er det fyrste dei tek seg fyre! No vert ikkje noko umogelegt for deim, kva dei so finn på å gjera.
7 Come, and having gone down let us there confound their tongue, that they may not understand each the voice of his neighbor.
Lat oss då stiga ned der og vildra målet deira, so den eine ikkje skynar kva den andre segjer.»
8 And the Lord scattered them thence over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city and the tower.
So spreidde Herren deim derifrå ut yver heile jordi, og dei heldt upp å byggja på byen.
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.
Difor kallar dei den byen Babel; for der vildra Herren målet for heile verdi, og derifrå spreidde Herren deim ut yver all jordi.

30 And Sara was barren, and did not bear children.
Men Saraj var barnlaus; ho hadde aldri ått barn.
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.
Og Tarah tok med seg Abram, son sin, og Lot Haransson, soneson sin, og Saraj, sonekona si, kona hans Abram, og dei tok ut saman frå Ur i Kaldæa, og vilde fara til Kana’ans-land. Og dei kom til Kharan, og vart buande der.

Og dagarne hans Tarah vart tvo hundrad og fem år. So døydde Tarah i Kharan.
