Genesis 11
1 The whole earth was of one language and of one speech.
Es hatte aber alle Welt einerlei Zunge und Sprache.
2 It happened, as they traveled from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they settled there.
Da sie nun zogen gen Morgen, fanden sie ein ebenes Land im Lande Sinear, und wohnten daselbst.
3 And they said to one another, "Come, let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly." They had brick for stone, and they used tar for mortar.
Und sie sprachen untereinander: Wohlauf, laß uns Ziegel streichen und brennen! und nahmen Ziegel zu Stein und Erdharz zu Kalk
4 They said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top reaches to the sky, and let us make ourselves a name, lest we be scattered abroad on the surface of the whole earth."
und sprachen: Wohlauf, laßt uns eine Stadt und einen Turm bauen, des Spitze bis an den Himmel reiche, daß wir uns einen Namen machen! denn wir werden sonst zerstreut in alle Länder.
5 And God came down to see the city and the tower, that humankind was building.
Da fuhr der HERR hernieder, daß er sähe die Stadt und den Turm, die die Menschenkinder bauten.
6 And God said, "Look, they are one people, and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do. So now nothing which they plan to do will be too difficult for them.
Und der HERR sprach: Siehe, es ist einerlei Volk und einerlei Sprache unter ihnen allen, und haben das angefangen zu tun; sie werden nicht ablassen von allem, was sie sich vorgenommen haben zu tun.
7 Come, let us go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another's speech."
Wohlauf, laßt uns herniederfahren und ihre Sprache daselbst verwirren, daß keiner des andern Sprache verstehe!
8 Then God scattered them abroad from there on the surface of all the earth; so they ceased building the city.
Also zerstreute sie der HERR von dort alle Länder, daß sie mußten aufhören die Stadt zu bauen.
9 Therefore its name was called Babel, because there God confused the language of all the earth. From there he scattered them over the face of the whole earth.
Daher heißt ihr Name Babel, daß der HERR daselbst verwirrt hatte aller Länder Sprache und sie zerstreut von dort in alle Länder.

Haran aber starb vor seinem Vater Tharah in seinem Vaterlande zu Ur in Chaldäa.
29 And Abram and Nahor took wives. The name of Abram's wife was Sarai, and the name of Nahor's wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran who was also the father of Iscah.
Da nahmen Abram und Nahor Weiber. Abrams Weib hieß Sarai, und Nahors Weib Milka, Harans Tochter, der ein Vater war der Milka und der Jiska.
30 And Sarai was barren. She had no child.
Aber Sarai war unfruchtbar und hatte kein Kind.
31 And Terah took Abram his son, Lot the son of Haran, his grandson, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram's wife, and with them he set out from Ur Kasdim to go into the land of Canaan. But when they came to Haran, they settled there.
Da nahm Tharah seinen Sohn Abram und Lot, seines Sohnes Harans Sohn, und seine Schwiegertochter Sarai, seines Sohnes Abrams Weib, und führte sie aus Ur in Chaldäa, daß er ins Land Kanaan zöge; und sie kamen gen Haran und wohnten daselbst.

Und Tharah war zweihundertundfünf Jahre alt und starb in Haran.
