The Tower of Babel
11 Now the whole earth had one language and the same words. 2 And as people migrated from the east, they found a plain in (A)the land of Shinar and settled there. 3 And they said to one another, “Come, let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly.” And they had brick for stone, (B)and bitumen for mortar. 4 Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower (C)with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be dispersed over the face of the whole earth.” 5 And (D)the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of man had built. 6 And the Lord said, “Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language, and this is only the beginning of what they will do. And nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them. 7 Come, (E)let us go down and there confuse their language, so that they may not understand one another's speech.” 8 So (F)the Lord dispersed them from there over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city. 9 Therefore its name was called (G)Babel, because there the Lord confused[a] the language of all the earth. And from there the Lord dispersed them over the face of all the earth.
Shem's Descendants
10 (H)These are the generations of Shem. When Shem was 100 years old, he fathered Arpachshad two years after the flood. 11 And Shem lived after he fathered Arpachshad for 500 years and had other sons and daughters.
12 When Arpachshad had lived for 35 years, he fathered Shelah. 13 And Arpachshad lived after he fathered Shelah for 403 years and had other sons and daughters.
14 When Shelah had lived for 30 years, he fathered Eber. 15 And Shelah lived after he fathered Eber for 403 years and had other sons and daughters.
16 When Eber had lived for 34 years, he fathered Peleg. 17 And Eber lived after he fathered Peleg for 430 years and had other sons and daughters.
18 When Peleg had lived for 30 years, he fathered Reu. 19 And Peleg lived after he fathered Reu for 209 years and had other sons and daughters.
20 When Reu had lived for 32 years, he fathered Serug. 21 And Reu lived after he fathered Serug for 207 years and had other sons and daughters.
22 When Serug had lived for 30 years, he fathered Nahor. 23 And Serug lived after he fathered Nahor for 200 years and had other sons and daughters.
24 When (I)Nahor had lived for 29 years, he fathered Terah. 25 And Nahor lived after he fathered Terah for 119 years and had other sons and daughters.
26 When (J)Terah had lived for 70 years, he fathered Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
Terah's Descendants
27 Now these are the generations of Terah. Terah fathered Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran fathered Lot. 28 Haran died in the presence of his father Terah in the land of his kindred, in Ur of the Chaldeans. 29 And Abram and Nahor took wives. The name of Abram's wife was (K)Sarai, and the name of Nahor's wife, (L)Milcah, the daughter of Haran the father of Milcah and Iscah. 30 Now Sarai was barren; she had no child.
31 Terah (M)took Abram his son and Lot the son of Haran, his grandson, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram's wife, and they went forth together (N)from Ur of the Chaldeans to go into the land of Canaan, but when they came to Haran, they settled there. 32 The days of Terah were 205 years, and Terah died in Haran.

Ang Tore ng Babel
11 Noon, isang wika lang ang ginagamit ng lahat ng tao sa buong mundo. 2 Habang lumilipat ng tirahan ang mga tao patungo sa silangan, nakarating sila sa isang patag na lugar sa Shinar, at doon sila nanirahan.
3-4 Ngayon, sinabi ng mga tao, “Magtayo tayo ng isang lungsod na may tore na aabot sa langit, para maging tanyag tayo at hindi mangalat sa buong mundo.” Kaya gumawa sila ng mga tisa,[a] at pinainitan nila ito nang mabuti para tumigas nang husto. Tisa ang ginamit nila sa halip na bato. At aspalto ang ginamit nila bilang semento.
5 Ngayon, bumaba ang Panginoon para tingnan ang pagtatayo ng mga tao ng lungsod at tore. 6 Sinabi ng Panginoon, “Ang mga taong ito ay nagkakaisa at may isang wika lang. At ang ginagawa nilang ito ay simula pa lamang ng mga binabalak pa nilang gawin. Hindi magtatagal, gagawin nila ang kahit anong gusto nilang gawin. 7 Kaya bumaba tayo. Pag-iba-ibahin natin ang wika nila para hindi sila magkaintindihan.”
8 Kaya pinangalat sila ng Panginoon sa buong mundo dahil hindi na sila magkaintindihan, at nahinto ang pagtatayo nila ng lungsod. 9 Ang lungsod na ito ay tinawag na Babel[b] dahil doon pinag-iba-iba ng Panginoon ang wika ng mga tao, at mula roon ay pinangalat niya sila sa buong mundo.
Ang mga Lahi ni Shem(A)
10 Ito ang salaysay tungkol sa pamilya ni Shem:
Dalawang taon pagkatapos ng baha, nasa 100 taong gulang na noon si Shem, nang isilang ang anak niyang lalaki na si Arfaxad. 11 Matapos isilang si Arfaxad, nabuhay pa si Shem ng 500 taon at nadagdagan pa ang mga anak niya.
12 Nang 35 taong gulang na si Arfaxad, isinilang ang anak niyang lalaki na si Shela. 13 Matapos isilang si Shela, nabuhay pa si Arfaxad ng 403 taon at nadagdagan pa ang mga anak niya.
14 Nang 30 taong gulang na si Shela, isinilang ang anak niyang lalaki na si Eber. 15 Matapos isilang si Eber, nabuhay pa si Shela ng 403 taon at nadagdagan pa ang mga anak niya.
16 Nang 34 taong gulang na si Eber, isinilang ang anak niyang lalaki na si Peleg. 17 Matapos isilang si Peleg, nabuhay pa si Eber ng 430 taon at nadagdagan pa ang mga anak niya.
18 Nang 30 taong gulang na si Peleg, isinilang ang anak niyang lalaki na si Reu. 19 Matapos isilang si Reu, nabuhay pa si Peleg ng 209 na taon at nadagdagan pa ang mga anak niya.
20 Nang 32 taong gulang na si Reu, isinilang ang anak niyang lalaki na si Serug. 21 Matapos isilang si Serug, nabuhay pa si Reu ng 207 taon at nadagdagan pa ang mga anak niya.
22 Nang 30 taong gulang na si Serug, isinilang ang anak niyang lalaki na si Nahor. 23 Matapos isilang si Nahor, nabuhay pa si Serug ng 200 taon at nadagdagan pa ang mga anak niya.
24 Nang 29 taong gulang na si Nahor, isinilang ang anak niyang lalaki na si Tera. 25 Matapos isilang si Tera, nabuhay pa si Nahor ng 119 na taon at nadagdagan pa ang mga anak niya.
26 Nang 70 taong gulang na si Tera, isinilang ang mga anak niyang lalaki na sina Abram, Nahor at Haran.
Ang mga Lahi ni Tera
27 Ito ang salaysay tungkol sa pamilya ni Tera:
Si Tera ang ama nina Abram, Nahor at Haran. Si Haran ang ama ni Lot. 28 Namatay si Haran doon sa Ur na sakop ng mga Caldeo,[c] sa lugar mismo kung saan isinilang siya. Namatay siya habang buhay pa ang ama niyang si Tera. 29 Naging asawa ni Abram si Sarai, at si Nahor ay naging asawa ni Milca. Ang ama ni Milca at ng kapatid niyang si Isca ay si Haran. 30 Si Sarai ay hindi magkaanak dahil siyaʼy baog.
31 Umalis si Tera sa Ur na sakop ng mga Caldeo. Kasama niya ang anak niyang si Abram, ang kanyang manugang na si Sarai, at ang apo niyang si Lot na anak ni Haran. Papunta sana sila sa Canaan, pero pagdating nila sa Haran doon na lamang sila tumira. 32 Doon namatay si Tera sa edad na 205.[d]

Babels torn
11 Vid den tiden talade människorna ett enda språk.
2 När befolkningen ökade och människorna spred sig österut upptäcktes en slätt i Babylonien, som snart blev befolkad.
3-4 Folket som bodde där började tala om att bygga en stor stad med ett torn, som skulle nå upp till himlen - ett ståtligt, evigt monument över dem själva.Detta kommer att sammansvetsa oss, och hindrar oss från att bli kringspridda över hela världen, sa de. De började att tillverka stora mängder av bränt tegel och att samla jordbeck till murbruk.
5 Men när Gud kom ned för att se staden och tornet, som de höll på att bygga,
6 sa han: Om de kan klara av detta när de just har börjat utnyttja sin språkliga och politiska enhet, tänk bara på vad de ska kunna göra längre fram! Inget kommer att bli omöjligt för dem!
7 Kom, låt oss gå dit ner och ge dem olika språk, så att de inte kan förstå varandra!
8 Genom sitt handlande spred Gud ut dem över hela jorden, och då upphörde byggandet av staden.
9 Det är därför som den kallas Babel, som betyder förvirring, för det var där som Herren förvirrade dem genom att ge dem många språk och på detta sätt skingra dem över hela jorden.
Sems ättlingar
10-11 Två år efter floden, när Sem var 100 år gammal, föddes hans son Arpaksad. Efter det levde Sem ytterligare 500 år och fick många söner och döttrar.
12-13 När Arpaksad var trettiofem år gammal föddes hans son Sela, och därefter levde han ytterligare 403 år och fick många söner och döttrar.
14-15 Sela var trettio år gammal när hans son Eber föddes, och han levde ytterligare 403 år och fick många söner och döttrar.
16-17 Eber var trettiofyra år gammal när hans son Peleg föddes. Han levde ytterligare 430 år och fick många söner och döttrar.
18-19 Peleg var trettio år gammal när hans son Regu föddes. Han levde ytterligare 209 år och fick många söner och döttrar.
20-21 Regu var trettiotvå år gammal när Serug föddes. Han levde ytterligare 207 år och fick många söner och döttrar.
22-23 Serug var trettio år gammal när hans son Nahor föddes. Han levde ytterligare 200 år och fick många söner och döttrar.
24-25 Nahor var tjugonio år gammal när hans son Tera föddes. Han levde ytterligare 119 år och fick söner och döttrar.
26 När Tera var sjuttio år gammal hade han tre söner - Abram, Nahor och Haran.
27 Och Haran fick en son, som hette Lot.
28 Men Haran dog som ung i det land där han föddes (i kaldeernas Ur) och efterlämnade sin far.
29 Under tiden gifte sig Abram med sin halvsyster Sarai, och hans bror Nahor gifte sig med den föräldralösa sondottern Milka, som var dotter till brodern Haran. Milka hade en bror som hette Jiska.
30 Men Sarai var ofruktsam och kunde inte få några barn.
31 Då tog Tera sin son Abram, sin sonson Lot, Harans son, och sin svärdotter Sarai och lämnade kaldeernas Ur för att flytta till Kanaans land. Men de stannade och bosatte sig i staden Haran.
32 Där dog Tera, 205 år gammal.

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.
22 When Serug had lived 30 years, he became the father of Nahor.(AB) 23 And after he became the father of Nahor, Serug lived 200 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.
