Genesis 11
1 At first, all the people in [MTY] the world spoke the same language [DOU].
Og al Jorden havde eet Tungemaal og eet Sprog.
2 As people moved further east, they arrived at a plain in Babylonia region and began to live there.
Og det skete, der de rejste fra Østen, da fandt de en Dal i Landet Sinear og boede der.
3 Then they said to each other, “(Hey/Come on), let’s form bricks and bake them to make them hard, for building!” So they used bricks instead of stones, and used tar instead of (mortar/a mixture of cement, sand and lime) to hold them together.
Og de sagde, den ene til den anden: Velan, lader os stryge Tegl og brænde dem vel; og de havde Tegl for Sten, og Jordbeg havde de for Kalk.
4 They said, “Hey, let’s build a city for ourselves! We also ought to build a very high tower that reaches up to the sky! In that way we will become famous! If we do not do this, we will be scattered all over the earth!”
Og de sagde: Velan, lader os bygge os en Stad og et Taarn, hvis Spidse kan naa op til Himmelen, og lader os gøre os et Navn, at vi ikke skulle adspredes over al Jorden.
5 So they began to build the city and the tower. Then Yahweh looked down and saw the city and the tower that those [puny] men were building.
Da nedfor Herren for at se den Stad og det Taarn, som Menneskens Børn byggede.
6 Yahweh said, “These people are one group that all speak the same language. If they have begun to do this now, then (there is nothing that they will decide to do that will be impossible for them/they will be able to do whatever they decide to do) [LIT]!
Og Herren sagde: Se, dette er eet Folk, og de have alle eet Tungemaal, og dette have de begyndt at gøre; og nu vil intet formenes dem af alt, hvad de faa i Sinde at gøre.
7 So, okay/now, we will go down there and cause there to be many different languages, so that they will not be able to understand each other.”
Velan, lader os fare ned og blande deres Tungemaal der, at den ene ikke forstaar den andens Tungemaal.
8 So Yahweh did that. As a result, the people stopped building the city, and Yahweh caused them to disperse all over the earth.
Og Herren adspredte dem derfra over al Jordens Kreds; og de lode af at bygge Staden.
9 The city was called Babel which means ‘confusion’, because there Yahweh caused the people to become confused because the people [MTY] spoke [different languages that the others could not understand], not just one language. From there Yahweh caused them to disperse all over the earth.
Derfor kaldte man dens Navn Babel; thi Herren blandede der al Jordens Tungemaal, og Herren adspredte dem derfra over al Jordens Kreds.

27 (This is/I will now give) a list of the descendants of Terah: Terah’s sons were Abram, Nahor, and Haran. Haran’s son was named Lot.
Og disse ere Tharas Slægter. Thara avlede Abram, Nakor og Haran; og Haran avlede Lot.

Og Sarai var ufrugtbar, hun havde intet Barn.

Og Thara tog Abram sin Søn og Lot Harans Søn, sin Sønnesøn, og Sarai sin Sønnekvinde, som var Abrams, hans Søns Hustru, og de droge ud med dem fra Ur i Kaldæa, at drage til det Land Kanaan, og de kom til Haran og boede der.
