< 창세기 11 >
1 온 땅의 구음이 하나이요 언어가 하나이었더라
Now the whole world had one language and a common form of speech.
2 이에 그들이 동방으로 옮기다가 시날 평지를 만나 거기 거하고
And as people journeyed eastward, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there.
3 서로 말하되 `자, 벽돌을 만들어 견고히 굽자' 하고 이에 벽돌로 돌을 대신하며 역청으로 진흙을 대신하고
And they said to one another, “Come, let us make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” So they used brick instead of stone, and tar instead of mortar.
4 또 말하되 `자, 성과 대를 쌓아 대 꼭대기를 하늘에 닿게 하여 우리 이름을 내고 온 지면에 흩어짐을 면하자' 하였더니
“Come,” they said, “let us build for ourselves a city with a tower that reaches to the heavens, that we may make a name for ourselves and not be scattered over the face of all the earth.”
5 여호와께서 인생들의 쌓는 성과 대를 보시려고 강림하셨더라
Then the LORD came down to see the city and the tower that the sons of men were building.
6 여호와께서 가라사대 이 무리가 한 족속이요, 언어도 하나이므로 이같이 시작하였으니 이후로는 그 경영하는 일을 금지할 수 없으리로다
And the LORD said, “If they have begun to do this as one people speaking the same language, then nothing they devise will be beyond them.
7 자, 우리가 내려가서 거기서 그들의 언어를 혼잡케 하여 그들로 서로 알아듣지 못하게 하자 하시고
Come, let Us go down and confuse their language, so that they will not understand one another’s speech.”
8 여호와께서 거기서 그들을 온 지면에 흩으신 고로 그들이 성 쌓기를 그쳤더라
So the LORD scattered them from there over the face of all the earth, and they stopped building the city.
9 그러므로 그 이름을 바벨이라 하니 이는 여호와께서 거기서 온 땅의 언어를 혼잡케 하셨음이라 여호와께서 거기서 그들을 온 지면에 흩으셨더라
That is why it is called Babel, for there the LORD confused the language of the whole world, and from that place the LORD scattered them over the face of all the earth.

And Abram and Nahor took wives for themselves. Abram’s wife was named Sarai, and Nahor’s wife was named Milcah; she was the daughter of Haran, who was the father of both Milcah and Iscah.

But Sarai was barren; she had no children.
