Genesis 11
1 And the whole earth is of one language, and of the same words,
erat autem terra labii unius et sermonum eorundem
2 and it comes to pass, in their journeying from the east, that they find a valley in the land of Shinar and dwell there;
cumque proficiscerentur de oriente invenerunt campum in terra Sennaar et habitaverunt in eo
3 and they each say to his neighbor, “Give help, let us make bricks, and burn [them] thoroughly”: and the brick is to them for stone, and the bitumen has been to them for mortar.
dixitque alter ad proximum suum venite faciamus lateres et coquamus eos igni habueruntque lateres pro saxis et bitumen pro cemento
4 And they say, “Give help, let us build for ourselves a city and tower with its head in the heavens, and make for ourselves a name, lest we be scattered over the face of all the earth.”
et dixerunt venite faciamus nobis civitatem et turrem cuius culmen pertingat ad caelum et celebremus nomen nostrum antequam dividamur in universas terras
5 And YHWH comes down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men have built;
descendit autem Dominus ut videret civitatem et turrem quam aedificabant filii Adam
6 and YHWH says, “Behold, the people [is] one, and one language [is] to them all, and this it has dreamed of doing; and now, nothing is restrained from them of that which they have purposed to do.
et dixit ecce unus est populus et unum labium omnibus coeperuntque hoc facere nec desistent a cogitationibus suis donec eas opere conpleant
7 Give help, let us go down there and confuse their language, so that a man will not understand the language of his companion.”
venite igitur descendamus et confundamus ibi linguam eorum ut non audiat unusquisque vocem proximi sui
8 And YHWH scatters them from there over the face of all the earth, and they cease to build the city;
atque ita divisit eos Dominus ex illo loco in universas terras et cessaverunt aedificare civitatem
9 therefore [one] has called its name Babel, for there YHWH has confused the language of all the earth, and from there YHWH has scattered them over the face of all the earth.
et idcirco vocatum est nomen eius Babel quia ibi confusum est labium universae terrae et inde dispersit eos Dominus super faciem cunctarum regionum

28 and Haran dies in the presence of Terah his father, in the land of his birth, in Ur of the Chaldees.
mortuusque est Aran ante Thare patrem suum in terra nativitatis suae in Ur Chaldeorum

tulit itaque Thare Abram filium suum et Loth filium Aran filium filii sui et Sarai nurum suam uxorem Abram filii sui et eduxit eos de Ur Chaldeorum ut irent in terram Chanaan veneruntque usque Haran et habitaverunt ibi
32 And the days of Terah are two hundred and five years, and Terah dies in Haran.
et facti sunt dies Thare ducentorum quinque annorum et mortuus est in Haran
