Genesis 11
1 At first, all the people in [MTY] the world spoke the same language [DOU].
Adapun seluruh bumi, satu bahasanya dan satu logatnya.
2 As people moved further east, they arrived at a plain in Babylonia region and began to live there.
Maka berangkatlah mereka ke sebelah timur dan menjumpai tanah datar di tanah Sinear, lalu menetaplah mereka di sana.
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.
Mereka berkata seorang kepada yang lain: "Marilah kita membuat batu bata dan membakarnya baik-baik." Lalu bata itulah dipakai mereka sebagai batu dan ter gala-gala sebagai tanah liat.
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!”
Juga kata mereka: "Marilah kita dirikan bagi kita sebuah kota dengan sebuah menara yang puncaknya sampai ke langit, dan marilah kita cari nama, supaya kita jangan terserak ke seluruh bumi."
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.
Lalu turunlah TUHAN untuk melihat kota dan menara yang didirikan oleh anak-anak manusia itu,
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]!
dan Ia berfirman: "Mereka ini satu bangsa dengan satu bahasa untuk semuanya. Ini barulah permulaan usaha mereka; mulai dari sekarang apapun juga yang mereka rencanakan, tidak ada yang tidak akan dapat terlaksana.
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.”
Baiklah Kita turun dan mengacaubalaukan di sana bahasa mereka, sehingga mereka tidak mengerti lagi bahasa masing-masing."
8 So Yahweh did that. As a result, the people stopped building the city, and Yahweh caused them to disperse all over the earth.
Demikianlah mereka diserakkan TUHAN dari situ ke seluruh bumi, dan mereka berhenti mendirikan kota itu.
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.
Itulah sebabnya sampai sekarang nama kota itu disebut Babel, karena di situlah dikacaubalaukan TUHAN bahasa seluruh bumi dan dari situlah mereka diserakkan TUHAN ke seluruh bumi.

Inilah keturunan Terah. Terah memperanakkan Abram, Nahor dan Haran, dan Haran memperanakkan Lot.

Abram dan Nahor kedua-duanya kawin; nama isteri Abram ialah Sarai, dan nama isteri Nahor ialah Milka, anak Haran ayah Milka dan Yiska.
30 Sarai was unable to bear any children.
Sarai itu mandul, tidak mempunyai anak.
31 Terah decided to leave Ur and go to live in Canaan land. So he took his son Abram and his grandson Lot, the son of Haran, and Abram’s wife Sarai with him. But instead of going to Canaan, they stopped at Haran [town] and lived there.
Lalu Terah membawa Abram, anaknya, serta cucunya, Lot, yaitu anak Haran, dan Sarai, menantunya, isteri Abram, anaknya; ia berangkat bersama-sama dengan mereka dari Ur-Kasdim untuk pergi ke tanah Kanaan, lalu sampailah mereka ke Haran, dan menetap di sana.
32 When Terah was 205 years old, he died there in Haran.
Umur Terah ada dua ratus lima tahun; lalu ia mati di Haran.
