Genesis 11
1 So it came to pass that, all the earth, was of one manner of speech, —and of one stock of words.
erat autem terra labii unius et sermonum eorundem
2 And it came to pass as they brake away onwards, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and dwelt there.
cumque proficiscerentur de oriente invenerunt campum in terra Sennaar et habitaverunt in eo
3 Then said they, each man to his friend, Come on! let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly, —So the bricks, served them for stone, and bitumen, served 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 said Come on! let us build for ourselves a city, and a tower with its head in the heavens, so let us make for ourselves a name, —lest we be scattered abroad 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 Yahweh came down, to behold the city, and the tower, —which the sons of men had built.
descendit autem Dominus ut videret civitatem et turrem quam aedificabant filii Adam
6 Then said Yahweh: Lo! one people and one manner of speech, have they all, this, then is what they have begun to do, —now, therefore, nothing will be withholden from them which they may plan 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 Come on! let us go down, and there confuse their speech, —that they may not understand, each man the speech of his friend.
venite igitur descendamus et confundamus ibi linguam eorum ut non audiat unusquisque vocem proximi sui
8 So Yahweh scattered them from thence over the face of all the earth, —and so they left off building the city.
atque ita divisit eos Dominus ex illo loco in universas terras et cessaverunt aedificare civitatem
9 For this cause, was the name thereof called Babel ["Confusion"]; because there, did Yahweh confuse the speech of all the earth, —and, from thence, did Yahweh scatter them abroad, 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 died, 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
29 And Abram and Nahor took to themselves wives; the name of Abram’s wife, was Sarai; and, the name of Nahor’s wife, Milcah, daughter of Haran father of Milcah, and father of Iscah.

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 were two hundred and five years, —and Terah died in Haran.
et facti sunt dies Thare ducentorum quinque annorum et mortuus est in Haran
