Genesis 11
1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one kind of words.
Sva je zemlja imala jedan jezik i riječi iste.
2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed toward the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they dwelt there.
Ali kako su se ljudi selili s istoka, naiđu na jednu dolinu u zemlji Šinearu i tu se nastane.
3 And they said to one another, Go to, let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly. And thus the brick served them for stone, and slime served them for mortar.
Jedan drugome reče: “Hajdemo praviti opeke te ih peći da otvrdnu!” Opeke im bile mjesto kamena, a paklina im služila za žbuku.
4 And they said, Go to, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower, the top of which may reach unto heaven; and let us make ourselves a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
Onda rekoše: “Hajde da sebi podignemo grad i toranj s vrhom do neba! Pribavimo sebi ime, da se ne raspršimo po svoj zemlji!”
5 And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of man were building.
Jahve se spusti da vidi grad i toranj što su ga gradili sinovi čovječji.
6 And the Lord said, Behold, it is one people, and they have all one language, and this is the first thing they undertake to do; and now shall they not be restrained in all which they have imagined to do?
Jahve reče. “Zbilja su jedan narod, s jednim jezikom za sve! Ovo je tek početak njihovih nastojanja. Sad im ništa neće biti neostvarivo što god naume izvesti.
7 Go to, let us go down, and confound there their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.
Hajde da siđemo i jezik im pobrkamo, da jedan drugome govora ne razumije.”
8 So the Lord scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth; and they left off to build the city.
Tako ih Jahve rasu odande po svoj zemlji te ne sazidaše grada.
9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel, because the Lord did there confound the language of all the earth; and from there did the Lord scatter them abroad over the face of all the earth.
Stoga mu je ime Babel, jer je ondje Jahve pobrkao govor svima u onom kraju i odande ih je Jahve raspršio po svoj zemlji.
10 These are the generations of Shem: Shem, when a hundred years old, begat Arpachshad, two years after the flood.

22 And Serug lived thirty years, and begat Nachor.
Kad je Serugu bilo trideset godina, rodi mu se Nahor.
23 And Serug lived after he had begotten Nachor two hundred years; and begat sons and daughters.
Po rođenju Nahorovu Serug je živio dvjesta godina te mu se rodilo još sinova i kćeri.
24 And Nachor lived nine and twenty years, and begat Terach.

25 And Nachor lived after he had begotten Terach a hundred and nineteen years; and begat sons and daughters.
Po rođenju Terahovu Nahor je živio sto i devetnaest godina te mu se rodilo još sinova i kćeri.
26 And Terach lived seventy years, and begat Abram, Nachor, and Haran.
Kad je Terahu bilo sedamdeset godina, rode mu se: Abram, Nahor i Haran.
27 Now these are the generations of Terach: Terach begat Abram, Nachor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot.
Ovo je povijest Terahova. Terahu se rodio Abram, Nahor i Haran; a Haranu se rodio Lot.
28 And Haran died before his father Terach in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees.
Haran umrije za života svoga oca Teraha, u svome rodnom kraju, u Uru Kaldejskom.
29 And Abram and Nachor took themselves wives; the name of Abram's wife was Sarai; and the name of Nachor's wife was Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Yiscah.
Abram se i Nahor ožene. Abramovoj ženi bijaše ime Saraja, a Nahorovoj Milka; ova je bila kći Harana, oca Milke i Jiske.
30 But Sarai was barren; she had no child.
Saraja bijaše nerotkinja - nije imala poroda.
31 And Terach took Abram his son, and Lot, the son of Haran, his son's son, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, the wife of his son Abram; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Charan, and dwelt there.
Terah povede svoga sina Abrama, svog unuka Lota, sina Haranova, svoju snahu Saraju, ženu svoga sina Abrama, pa se zaputi s njima iz Ura Kaldejskoga u zemlju kanaansku. Kad stignu do Harana, ondje se nastane.
32 And the days of Terach were two hundred and five years; and Terach died in Charan.
Dob Terahova dosegnu dvjesta i pet godina; a onda Terah umrije u Haranu.
