Genesis 11
1 So it came to pass that, all the earth, was of one manner of speech, —and of one stock of words.
Erat autem terra labii unius, et sermonum eorumdem.
2 And it came to pass as they brake away onwards, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and dwelt there.
Cumque proficiscerentur de oriente, invenerunt campum in terra Senaar, et habitaverunt in eo.
3 Then said they, each man to his friend, Come on! let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly, —So the bricks, served them for stone, and bitumen, served them for mortar,
Dixitque alter ad proximum suum: Venite, faciamus lateres, et coquamus eos igni. Habueruntque lateres pro saxis, et bitumen pro cæmento:
4 And they said Come on! let us build for ourselves a city, and a tower with its head in the heavens, so let us make for ourselves a name, —lest we be scattered abroad over the face of all the earth.
et dixerunt: Venite, faciamus nobis civitatem et turrim, cuius culmen pertingat ad cælum: et celebremus nomen nostrum antequam dividamur in universas terras.
5 And Yahweh came down, to behold the city, and the tower, —which the sons of men had built.
Descendit autem Dominus ut videret civitatem et turrim, quam ædificabant filii Adam,
6 Then said Yahweh: Lo! one people and one manner of speech, have they all, this, then is what they have begun to do, —now, therefore, nothing will be withholden from them which they may plan to do.
et dixit: Ecce, unus est populus, et unum labium omnibus: cœperuntque hoc facere, nec desistent a cogitationibus suis, donec eas opere compleant.
7 Come on! let us go down, and there confuse their speech, —that they may not understand, each man the speech of his friend.
Venite igitur, descendamus, et confundamus ibi linguam eorum, ut non audiat unusquisque vocem proximi sui.
8 So Yahweh scattered them from thence over the face of all the earth, —and so they left off building the city.
Atque ita divisit eos Dominus ex illo loco in universas terras, et cessaverunt ædificare civitatem.
9 For this cause, was the name thereof called Babel ["Confusion"]; because there, did Yahweh confuse the speech of all the earth, —and, from thence, did Yahweh scatter them abroad, over the face of all the earth.
Et idcirco vocatum est nomen eius Babel, quia ibi confusum est labium universæ terræ: et inde dispersit eos Dominus super faciem cunctarum regionum.

Hæ sunt autem generationes Thare: Thare genuit Abram, Nachor, et Aran. Porro Aran genuit Lot.
28 and Haran died, in the presence of Terah his father, —in the land of his birth, in Ur of the Chaldees.
Mortuusque est Aran ante Thare patrem suum, in terra nativitatis suæ in Ur Chaldæorum.
29 And Abram and Nahor took to themselves wives; the name of Abram’s wife, was Sarai; and, the name of Nahor’s wife, Milcah, daughter of Haran father of Milcah, and father of Iscah.
Duxerunt autem Abram et Nachor uxores: nomen uxoris Abram, Sarai: et nomen uxoris Nachor, Melcha filia Aran patris Melchæ, et patris Ieschæ.
30 And, Sarai, remained barren, —she had no child,
Erat autem Sarai sterilis, nec habebat liberos.
31 And Terah took Abram his son and Lot son of Haran his son’s son, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, wife of Abram his son, —and came forth with them out of Ur of the Chaldees, that they might go their way towards the land of Canaan, and they came in as far as Haran and dwelt there.
Tulit itaque Thare Abram filium suum, et Lot filium Aran, filium filii sui, et Sarai nurum suam, uxorem Abram filii sui, et eduxit eos de Ur Chaldæorum, ut irent in terram Chanaan: veneruntque usque Haran, et habitaverunt ibi.
32 And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years, —and Terah died in Haran.
Et facti sunt dies Thare ducentorum quinque annorum, et mortuus est in Haran.
