Genesis 11
Ang Biblia (1978)
Ang tore ni Babel.
11 At ang buong lupa ay iisa ang wika at iisa ang salita.
2 At nangyari, na, sa kanilang paglalakbay sa silanganan, ay nakasumpong sila ng isang kapatagan sa (A)lupain ng Sinar; at sila'y nanahan doon.
3 At nagsangusapang, Halikayo! tayo'y gumawa ng mga laryo, at ating lutuing mabuti. At inari nilang bato ang laryo (B)at ang betun ay inaring argamasa.
4 At nagsipagsabi, Halikayo! Magtayo tayo ng isang bayan natin at ng isang moog, (C)na ang taluktok niyaon ay aabot hanggang sa langit, at magtaglay tayo ng isang ngalan; baka tayo'y mangalat sa ibabaw ng buong lupa.
Pagkakaroon ng iba't ibang wika.
5 (D)At bumaba ang Panginoon upang tingnan ang bayan at ang moog, na itinayo ng mga anak ng mga tao.
6 At sinabi ng Panginoon, Narito, sila'y iisang bayan at silang lahat ay may isang wika; at ito ang kanilang pinasimulang gawin: at, ngayon nga'y walang makasasawata sa anomang kanilang balaking gawin.
7 Halikayo! tayo'y (E)bumaba at diyan din ay ating guluhin ang kanilang wika, na anopa't sila'y huwag magkatalastasan sa kanilang salita.
8 (F)Ganito pinanabog sila ng Panginoon mula riyan, sa (G)ibabaw ng buong lupa; at kanilang iniwan ang pagtatayo ng bayan.
9 Kaya ang pangalang itinawag ay Babel; sapagka't doon ginulo ng Panginoon ang wika ng buong lupa: at mula roon ay pinanabog sila ng Panginoon sa ibabaw ng buong lupa.
Mga inanak ni Sem.
10 (H)Ito ang sali't saling lahi ni Sem. May isang daan taon si Sem at naging anak si Arphaxad, dalawang taon pagkatapos ng bahang gumunaw,
11 At nabuhay si Sem, pagkatapos na maipanganak si Arphaxad, ng limang daang taon, at nagkaanak ng mga lalake at mga babae.
12 At nabuhay si Arphaxad, ng tatlong pu't limang taon, at naging anak si Sala.
13 At nabuhay si Arphaxad pagkatapos na maipanganak si Sala, ng apat na raan at tatlong taon, at nagkaanak ng mga lalake at mga babae.
14 At nabuhay si Sala ng tatlong pung taon, at naging anak si Heber:
15 At nabuhay si Sala pagkatapos na maipanganak si Heber, ng apat na raan at tatlong taon, at nagkaanak ng mga lalake at mga babae.
16 (I)At nabuhay si Heber ng tatlong pu't apat na taon, at naging anak si Peleg:

18 At nabuhay si Peleg ng tatlong pung taon, at naging anak si Reu:
19 At nabuhay si Peleg pagkatapos na maipanganak si Reu, ng dalawang daan at siyam na taon; at nagkaanak ng mga lalake at mga babae.
20 At nabuhay si Reu ng tatlong pu't dalawang taon, at naging anak si Serug:

26 At nabuhay si Thare ng pitong pung taon, (J)at naging anak si Abram, si Nachor at si Haran.
Ang sangbahayan ni Thare.
27 Ito nga ang mga lahi ni Thare. Naging anak ni Thare si Abram, si Nachor, at si Haran; at naging anak ni Haran si Lot.
28 At namatay si Haran bago namatay ang kaniyang amang si Thare sa lupaing kaniyang tinubuan, sa Ur ng mga Caldeo.
29 At nagsipagasawa si Abram at si Nachor: ang pangalan ng asawa ni Abram ay (K)Sarai; at ang pangalan ng asawa ni Nachor, ay (L)Milca, anak ni Haran, ama ni Milca at ama ni Iscah.
30 (M)At si Sarai ay baog; siya'y walang anak.
31 At ipinagsama ni Thare si (N)Abram na kaniyang anak, at si Lot na anak ni Haran, na anak ng kaniyang anak, at si Sarai na kaniyang manugang, asawa ni Abram na kaniyang anak; (O)at samasamang nagsialis sa Ur ng mga Caldeo upang magsipasok sa lupain ng Canaan, at nagsidating sila sa Haran, at nagsitahan doon.
32 At ang mga naging araw ni Thare ay dalawang daan at limang taon: at namatay si Thare sa Haran.
Genesis 11
New International Version
The Tower of Babel
11 Now the whole world had one language(A) and a common speech. 2 As people moved eastward,[a] they found a plain in Shinar[b](B) and settled there.
3 They said to each other, “Come, let’s make bricks(C) and bake them thoroughly.” They used brick instead of stone,(D) and tar(E) for mortar. 4 Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens,(F) so that we may make a name(G) for ourselves; otherwise we will be scattered(H) over the face of the whole earth.”(I)
5 But the Lord came down(J) to see the city and the tower the people were building. 6 The Lord said, “If as one people speaking the same language(K) they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. 7 Come, let us(L) go down(M) and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.”(N)
8 So the Lord scattered them from there over all the earth,(O) and they stopped building the city. 9 That is why it was called Babel[c](P)—because there the Lord confused the language(Q) of the whole world.(R) From there the Lord scattered(S) them over the face of the whole earth.
From Shem to Abram(T)
10 This is the account(U) of Shem’s family line.
Two years after the flood, when Shem was 100 years old, he became the father[d] of Arphaxad.(V) 11 And after he became the father of Arphaxad, Shem lived 500 years and had other sons and daughters.
12 When Arphaxad had lived 35 years, he became the father of Shelah.(W) 13 And after he became the father of Shelah, Arphaxad lived 403 years and had other sons and daughters.[e]
14 When Shelah had lived 30 years, he became the father of Eber.(X) 15 And after he became the father of Eber, Shelah lived 403 years and had other sons and daughters.
16 When Eber had lived 34 years, he became the father of Peleg.(Y) 17 And after he became the father of Peleg, Eber lived 430 years and had other sons and daughters.
18 When Peleg had lived 30 years, he became the father of Reu.(Z) 19 And after he became the father of Reu, Peleg lived 209 years and had other sons and daughters.
20 When Reu had lived 32 years, he became the father of Serug.(AA) 21 And after he became the father of Serug, Reu lived 207 years and had other sons and daughters.

24 When Nahor had lived 29 years, he became the father of Terah.(AC) 25 And after he became the father of Terah, Nahor lived 119 years and had other sons and daughters.
26 After Terah had lived 70 years, he became the father of Abram,(AD) Nahor(AE) and Haran.(AF)
Abram’s Family
27 This is the account(AG) of Terah’s family line.
Terah became the father of Abram, Nahor(AH) and Haran. And Haran became the father of Lot.(AI) 28 While his father Terah was still alive, Haran died in Ur of the Chaldeans,(AJ) in the land of his birth. 29 Abram and Nahor(AK) both married. The name of Abram’s wife was Sarai,(AL) and the name of Nahor’s wife was Milkah;(AM) she was the daughter of Haran, the father of both Milkah and Iskah. 30 Now Sarai was childless because she was not able to conceive.(AN)
31 Terah took his son Abram, his grandson Lot(AO) son of Haran, and his daughter-in-law(AP) Sarai, the wife of his son Abram, and together they set out from Ur of the Chaldeans(AQ) to go to Canaan.(AR) But when they came to Harran,(AS) they settled there.
32 Terah(AT) lived 205 years, and he died in Harran.
