Gênesis 11
1 E era toda a terra de uma mesma língua, e de uma mesma fala.
At first, all the people in [MTY] the world spoke the same language [DOU].
2 E aconteceu que, partindo eles do Oriente, acharam um vale na terra de Shinar; e habitaram ali.
As people moved further east, they arrived at a plain in Babylonia region and began to live there.
3 E disseram uns aos outros: Eia, façamos tijolos, e queimê-mo-los bem. E foi-lhes o tijolo por pedra, e o betume por cal.
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.
4 E disseram: Eia, edifiquemos nós uma cidade e uma torre cujo cume toque nos céus, e façamo-nos um nome, para que não sejamos espalhados sobre a face de toda a terra.
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!”
5 Então desceu o Senhor para ver a cidade e a torre que os filhos dos homens edificavam;
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.
6 E disse. Eis que o povo é um, e todos tem uma mesma língua; e isto é o que começam a fazer: e agora, não haverá restrição para tudo o que eles intentarem fazer?
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]!
7 Eia, desçamos, e confundamos ali a sua língua, para que não entenda um a língua do outro.
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.”
8 Assim o Senhor os espalhou dali sobre a face de toda a terra: e cessaram de edificar a cidade.
So Yahweh did that. As a result, the people stopped building the city, and Yahweh caused them to disperse all over the earth.
9 Por isso se chamou o seu nome Babel, porquanto ali confundiu o Senhor a língua de toda a terra, e dali os espalhou o Senhor sobre a face de toda a terra.
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.

After Terah was born, Nahor lived 119 more years and became the father of other sons and daughters.
26 E viveu Terah, setenta anos, e gerou a Abrão, a Nahor, e a Haran.
When Terah was 70 years old, his son Abram was born. Later, two other sons, Nahor and Haran were born.
27 E estas são as gerações de Terah: Terah gerou a Abrão, a Nahor, e a Haran: e Haran gerou a Lot
(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.
28 E morreu Haran estando seu pai Terah, ainda vivo, na terra do seu nascimento, em Ur dos caldeus.
Haran died before his father died. He died in Ur [city] in Chaldea land, where he was born.
29 E tomaram Abrão e Nahor mulheres para si: o nome da mulher de Abrão era Sarai, e o nome da mulher de Nahor era Milcah, filha de Haran, pai de Milcah, e pai de Iscah.
Abram and Nahor both married. Abram’s wife was named Sarai, and Nahor’s wife was named Milcah. Milcah and her younger sister Iscah were the daughters of Haran.
30 E Sarai foi estéril, e não tinha filhos.
Sarai was unable to bear any children.
31 E tomou Terah a Abrão seu filho, e a Lot filho de Haran, filho de seu filho, e a Sarai sua nora, mulher de seu filho Abrão, e saiu com eles de Ur dos caldeus, para ir à terra de Canaan; e vieram até Haran, e habitaram ali
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.
32 E foram os dias de Terah duzentos e cinco anos: e morreu Terah em Haran.
When Terah was 205 years old, he died there in Haran.
