Postanak 11
1 Sva je zemlja imala jedan jezik i riječi iste.
And the whole earth is of one language, and of the same words,
2 Ali kako su se ljudi selili s istoka, naiđu na jednu dolinu u zemlji Šinearu i tu se nastane.
and it comes to pass, in their journeying from the east, that they find a valley in the land of Shinar and dwell there;
3 Jedan drugome reče: “Hajdemo praviti opeke te ih peći da otvrdnu!” Opeke im bile mjesto kamena, a paklina im služila za žbuku.
and they each say to his neighbor, “Give help, let us make bricks, and burn [them] thoroughly”: and the brick is to them for stone, and the bitumen has been to them for mortar.
4 Onda rekoše: “Hajde da sebi podignemo grad i toranj s vrhom do neba! Pribavimo sebi ime, da se ne raspršimo po svoj zemlji!”
And they say, “Give help, let us build for ourselves a city and tower with its head in the heavens, and make for ourselves a name, lest we be scattered over the face of all the earth.”
5 Jahve se spusti da vidi grad i toranj što su ga gradili sinovi čovječji.
And YHWH comes down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men have built;
6 Jahve reče. “Zbilja su jedan narod, s jednim jezikom za sve! Ovo je tek početak njihovih nastojanja. Sad im ništa neće biti neostvarivo što god naume izvesti.
and YHWH says, “Behold, the people [is] one, and one language [is] to them all, and this it has dreamed of doing; and now, nothing is restrained from them of that which they have purposed to do.
7 Hajde da siđemo i jezik im pobrkamo, da jedan drugome govora ne razumije.”
Give help, let us go down there and confuse their language, so that a man will not understand the language of his companion.”
8 Tako ih Jahve rasu odande po svoj zemlji te ne sazidaše grada.
And YHWH scatters them from there over the face of all the earth, and they cease to build the city;
9 Stoga mu je ime Babel, jer je ondje Jahve pobrkao govor svima u onom kraju i odande ih je Jahve raspršio po svoj zemlji.
therefore [one] has called its name Babel, for there YHWH has confused the language of all the earth, and from there YHWH has scattered them over the face of all the earth.

32 Dob Terahova dosegnu dvjesta i pet godina; a onda Terah umrije u Haranu.
And the days of Terah are two hundred and five years, and Terah dies in Haran.
