Kejadian 11
1 Semula, bangsa-bangsa di seluruh dunia hanya mempunyai satu bahasa dan mereka memakai kata-kata yang sama.
The whole earth was of one language and of one speech.
2 Ketika mereka mengembara ke sebelah timur, sampailah mereka di sebuah dataran di Babilonia, lalu menetap di sana.
As they travelled east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they lived there.
3 Mereka berkata seorang kepada yang lain, "Ayo kita membuat batu bata dan membakarnya sampai keras." Demikianlah mereka mempunyai batu bata untuk batu rumah dan ter untuk bahan perekatnya.
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 Kata mereka, "Mari kita mendirikan kota dengan sebuah menara yang puncaknya sampai ke langit, supaya kita termasyhur dan tidak tercerai berai di 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 Maka turunlah TUHAN untuk melihat kota dan menara yang didirikan oleh manusia.
The LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men built.
6 Lalu Ia berkata, "Mereka ini satu bangsa dengan satu bahasa, dan ini baru permulaan dari rencana-rencana mereka. Tak lama lagi mereka akan sanggup melakukan apa saja yang mereka kehendaki.
The LORD said, “Behold, they are one people, and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do. Now nothing will be withheld from them, which they intend to do.
7 Sebaiknya Kita turun dan mengacaukan bahasa mereka supaya mereka tidak mengerti lagi satu sama lain."
Come, let’s go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.”
8 Demikianlah TUHAN menceraiberaikan mereka ke seluruh bumi. Lalu berhentilah mereka mendirikan kota itu.
So the LORD scattered them abroad from there on the surface of all the earth. They stopped building the city.
9 Sebab itu kota itu diberi nama Babel, karena di situ TUHAN mengacaukan bahasa semua bangsa, dan dari situ mereka diceraiberaikan oleh TUHAN ke seluruh bumi.
Therefore its name was called Babel, because there the LORD confused the language of all the earth. From there, the LORD scattered them abroad on the surface of all the earth.

Now this is the history of the generations of Terah. Terah became the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran. Haran became the father of Lot.
28 Haran meninggal di kampung halamannya, yaitu Ur di Babilonia, pada waktu ayahnya masih hidup.

Terah took Abram his son, Lot the son of Haran, his son’s son, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram’s wife. They went from Ur-Kasdim, to go into the land of Canaan. They came to Haran and lived there.
32 Dan di tempat itu pula Terah meninggal pada usia 205 tahun.
The days of Terah were two hundred and five years. Terah died in Haran.
