Genesis 11
1 The whole earth was of one language and of one speech.
Erat autem terra labii unius, et sermonum eorumdem.
2 It happened, as they traveled from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they settled there.
Cumque proficiscerentur de oriente, invenerunt campum in terra Senaar, et habitaverunt in eo.
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.
Dixitque alter ad proximum suum: Venite, faciamus lateres, et coquamus eos igni. Habueruntque lateres pro saxis, et bitumen pro cæmento:
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."
et dixerunt: Venite, faciamus nobis civitatem et turrim, cuius culmen pertingat ad cælum: et celebremus nomen nostrum antequam dividamur in universas terras.
5 And God came down to see the city and the tower, that humankind was building.
Descendit autem Dominus ut videret civitatem et turrim, quam ædificabant filii Adam,
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.
et dixit: Ecce, unus est populus, et unum labium omnibus: cœperuntque hoc facere, nec desistent a cogitationibus suis, donec eas opere compleant.
7 Come, let us go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another's speech."
Venite igitur, descendamus, et confundamus ibi linguam eorum, ut non audiat unusquisque vocem proximi sui.
8 Then God scattered them abroad from there on the surface of all the earth; so they ceased building the city.
Atque ita divisit eos Dominus ex illo loco in universas terras, et cessaverunt ædificare civitatem.
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.
Et idcirco vocatum est nomen eius 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 one hundred years old and became the father of Arpachshad two years after the flood.
Hæ sunt generationes Sem: Sem erat centum annorum quando genuit Arphaxad, biennio post diluvium.
11 Shem lived five hundred years after he became the father of Arpachshad, and fathered sons and daughters.
Vixitque Sem postquam genuit Arphaxad, quingentis annis: et genuit filios et filias.

Porro Arphaxad vixit triginta quinque annis, et genuit Sale.

25 Nahor lived one hundred and twenty-nine years after he became the father of Terah, and fathered sons and daughters.
Vixitque Nachor postquam genuit Thare, centum decem et novem annis: et genuit filios et filias.
26 Terah lived seventy years, and became the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
Vixitque Thare septuaginta annis, et genuit Abram et Nachor, et Aran.
27 Now these are the generations of Terah. Terah became the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran. And Haran became the father of Lot.
Hæ sunt autem generationes Thare: Thare genuit Abram, Nachor, et Aran. Porro Aran genuit Lot.
28 And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his birth, in Ur Kasdim.
Mortuusque est Aran ante Thare patrem suum, in terra nativitatis suæ in Ur Chaldæorum.
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.
Duxerunt autem Abram et Nachor uxores: nomen uxoris Abram, Sarai: et nomen uxoris Nachor, Melcha filia Aran patris Melchæ, et patris Ieschæ.
30 And Sarai was barren. She had no child.
Erat autem Sarai sterilis, nec habebat liberos.
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.
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 And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years. And Terah died in Haran.
Et facti sunt dies Thare ducentorum quinque annorum, et mortuus est in Haran.
