Genesis 11
1 The whole earth was of one language and of one speech.
Og al Jorden havde eet Tungemaal og eet Sprog.
2 As they travelled east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they lived there.
Og det skete, der de rejste fra Østen, da fandt de en Dal i Landet Sinear og boede der.
3 They said to one another, “Come, let’s make bricks, and burn them thoroughly.” They had brick for stone, and they used tar for mortar.
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, “Come, let’s build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top reaches to the sky, and let’s make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad on the surface of the whole 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 The LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men built.
Da nedfor Herren for at se den Stad og det Taarn, som Menneskens Børn byggede.
6 The LORD said, “Behold, they are one people, and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do. Now nothing will be withheld from them, which they intend to do.
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 Come, let’s go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.”
Velan, lader os fare ned og blande deres Tungemaal der, at den ene ikke forstaar den andens Tungemaal.
8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from there on the surface of all the earth. They stopped building the city.
Og Herren adspredte dem derfra over al Jordens Kreds; og de lode af at bygge Staden.
9 Therefore its name was called Babel, because there the LORD confused the language of all the earth. From there, the LORD scattered them abroad on the surface of all the earth.
Derfor kaldte man dens Navn Babel; thi Herren blandede der al Jordens Tungemaal, og Herren adspredte dem derfra over al Jordens Kreds.

Og Sarai var ufrugtbar, hun havde intet Barn.
31 Terah took Abram his son, Lot the son of Haran, his son’s son, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram’s wife. They went from Ur-Kasdim, to go into the land of Canaan. They came to Haran and lived there.
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.
