Kejadian 11
1 Adapun seluruh bumi, satu bahasanya dan satu logatnya.
The whole earth was of one language and of one speech.
2 Maka berangkatlah mereka ke sebelah timur dan menjumpai tanah datar di tanah Sinear, lalu menetaplah mereka di sana.
As they traveled east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they lived there.
3 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.
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.
4 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."
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.”
5 Lalu turunlah TUHAN untuk melihat kota dan menara yang didirikan oleh anak-anak manusia itu,
Adonai came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men built.
6 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.
Adonai said, “Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language, and this is what they begin to do. Now nothing will be withheld from them, which they intend to do.
7 Baiklah Kita turun dan mengacaubalaukan di sana bahasa mereka, sehingga mereka tidak mengerti lagi bahasa masing-masing."
Come, let’s go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not sh'ma ·hear understand obey· one another’s speech.”
8 Demikianlah mereka diserakkan TUHAN dari situ ke seluruh bumi, dan mereka berhenti mendirikan kota itu.
So Adonai scattered them abroad from there on the surface of all the earth. They stopped building the city.
9 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.
Therefore its name was called Babel [Confusion], because there Adonai confused the language of all the earth. From there, Adonai scattered them abroad on the surface of all the earth.

Terah lived seventy years, and became the father of Avram [Exalted father], Nahor, and Haran [Mountaineer].
27 Inilah keturunan Terah. Terah memperanakkan Abram, Nahor dan Haran, dan Haran memperanakkan Lot.
Now this is the history of the generations of Terah. Terah became the father of Avram [Exalted father], Nahor, and Haran [Mountaineer]. Haran [Mountaineer] became the father of Lot [Veil, Covering].
28 Ketika Terah, ayahnya, masih hidup, matilah Haran di negeri kelahirannya, di Ur-Kasdim.
Haran [Mountaineer] died before his father Terah in the land of his birth, in Ur of the Chaldees.
29 Abram dan Nahor kedua-duanya kawin; nama isteri Abram ialah Sarai, dan nama isteri Nahor ialah Milka, anak Haran ayah Milka dan Yiska.
Avram [Exalted father] and Nahor married wives. The name of Avram [Exalted father]’s wife was Sarai [Mockery], and the name of Nahor’s wife was Milcah, the daughter of Haran [Mountaineer] who was also the father of Iscah.
30 Sarai itu mandul, tidak mempunyai anak.
Sarai [Mockery] was barren. She had no child.
31 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.
Terah took Avram [Exalted father] his son, Lot [Veil, Covering] the son of Haran [Mountaineer], his son’s son, and Sarai [Mockery] his daughter-in-law, his son Avram [Exalted father]’s wife. They went from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan [Humbled]. They came to Haran [Mountaineer] and lived there.
32 Umur Terah ada dua ratus lima tahun; lalu ia mati di Haran.
The days of Terah were two hundred five years. Terah died in Haran [Mountaineer].
