Genesis 11
1 The whole earth was of one language and of one speech.
OR tutta la terra era d'una favella e di un linguaggio.
2 It happened, as they traveled from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they settled there.
Ed avvenne che, partendosi gli uomini di Oriente, trovarono una pianura nel paese di Sinear, e quivi si posarono.
3 And they said to one another, "Come, let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly." They had brick for stone, and they used tar for mortar.
E dissero l'uno all'altro: Or su, facciamo de' mattoni, e cociamoli col fuoco. I mattoni adunque furono loro in vece di pietre, e il bitume in vece di malta.
4 They said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top reaches to the sky, and let us make ourselves a name, lest we be scattered abroad on the surface of the whole earth."
Poi dissero: Or su, edifichiamoci una città, ed una torre, la cui sommità [giunga] fino al cielo, ed acquistiamoci fama; che talora noi non siamo dispersi sopra la faccia di tutta la terra.
5 The LORD came down to see the city and the tower, that humankind was building.
E il Signore discese, per veder la città e la torre che i figliuoli degli uomini edificavano.
6 The LORD said, "Look, they are one people, and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do. So now nothing which they plan to do will be too difficult for them.
E il Signore disse: Ecco un medesimo popolo, ed [essi] tutti hanno un medesimo linguaggio, e questo [è] il cominciamento del lor lavoro, ed ora tutto ciò che hanno disegnato di fare, non sarà loro divietato.
7 Come, let us go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another's speech."
Or su, scendiamo e confondiamo ivi la lor favella; acciocchè l'uno non intenda la favella dell'altro.
8 Then God scattered them abroad from there on the surface of all the earth; so they ceased building the city.
E il Signore li disperse di là sopra la faccia di tutta la terra; ed essi cessarono di edificar la città.
9 Therefore its name was called Babel, because there God confused the language of all the earth. From there he scattered them over the face of the whole earth.
Perciò essa fu nominata Babilonia; perciocchè il Signore confuse quivi la favella di tutta la terra, e disperse coloro di là sopra la faccia di tutta la terra.

29 And Abram and Nahor took wives. The name of Abram's wife was Sarai, and the name of Nahor's wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran who was also the father of Iscah.
Ed Abramo e Nahor si presero delle mogli; il nome della moglie di Abramo [era] Sarai; e il nome della moglie di Nahor, Milca, [la quale era] figliuola di Haran, padre di Milca e d'Isca.
30 And Sarai was barren. She had no child.
Or Sarai era sterile, [e] non avea figliuoli.
31 And Terah took Abram his son, Lot the son of Haran, his grandson, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram's wife, and with them he set out from Ur Kasdim to go into the land of Canaan. But when they came to Haran, they settled there.
E Tare prese Abramo suo figliuolo, e Lot figliuol del suo figliuolo, [cioè] di Haran, e Sarai sua nuora, moglie di Abramo suo figliuolo; ed essi uscirono con loro fuori d'Ur de' Caldei, per andar nel paese di Canaan; e, giunti fino in Charan, dimorarono quivi.
32 And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years. And Terah died in Haran.
E il tempo della vita di Tare fu dugentocinque anni; poi morì in Charan.
