11 那时,天下人的口音、言语都是一样。 他们往东边迁移的时候,在示拿地遇见一片平原,就住在那里。 他们彼此商量说:“来吧!我们要做砖,把砖烧透了。”他们就拿砖当石头,又拿石漆当灰泥。 他们说:“来吧!我们要建造一座城和一座塔,塔顶通天,为要传扬我们的名,免得我们分散在全地上。” 耶和华降临,要看看世人所建造的城和塔。

变乱口音

耶和华说:“看哪,他们成为一样的人民,都是一样的言语,如今既做起这事来,以后他们所要做的事就没有不成就的了。 我们下去,在那里变乱他们的口音,使他们的言语彼此不通。” 于是,耶和华使他们从那里分散在全地上,他们就停工不造那城了。 因为耶和华在那里变乱天下人的言语,使众人分散在全地上,所以那城名叫巴别[a]

  1. 创世记 11:9 就是“变乱”的意思。

11 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.

And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.

And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter.

And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.

And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.

And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.

Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.

So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.

Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the Lord did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the Lord scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.

10 These are the generations of Shem: Shem was an hundred years old, and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood:

11 And Shem lived after he begat Arphaxad five hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.

12 And Arphaxad lived five and thirty years, and begat Salah:

13 And Arphaxad lived after he begat Salah four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.

14 And Salah lived thirty years, and begat Eber:

15 And Salah lived after he begat Eber four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.

16 And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begat Peleg:

17 And Eber lived after he begat Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters.

18 And Peleg lived thirty years, and begat Reu:

19 And Peleg lived after he begat Reu two hundred and nine years, and begat sons and daughters.

20 And Reu lived two and thirty years, and begat Serug:

21 And Reu lived after he begat Serug two hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters.

22 And Serug lived thirty years, and begat Nahor:

23 And Serug lived after he begat Nahor two hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.

24 And Nahor lived nine and twenty years, and begat Terah:

25 And Nahor lived after he begat Terah an hundred and nineteen years, and begat sons and daughters.

26 And Terah lived seventy years, and begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran.

27 Now these are the generations of Terah: Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot.

28 And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees.

29 And Abram and Nahor took them wives: the name of Abram's wife was Sarai; and the name of Nahor's wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah.

30 But Sarai was barren; she had no child.

31 And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran his son's son, and Sarai his daughter in law, his son Abram's wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Haran, and dwelt there.

32 And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years: and Terah died in Haran.

La torre de Babel

11 Tenía entonces toda la tierra una sola lengua y unas mismas palabras. Y aconteció que cuando salieron de oriente, hallaron una llanura en la tierra de Sinar, y se establecieron allí. Y se dijeron unos a otros: Vamos, hagamos ladrillo y cozámoslo con fuego. Y les sirvió el ladrillo en lugar de piedra, y el asfalto en lugar de mezcla. Y dijeron: Vamos, edifiquémonos una ciudad y una torre, cuya cúspide llegue al cielo; y hagámonos un nombre, por si fuéremos esparcidos sobre la faz de toda la tierra. Y descendió Jehová para ver la ciudad y la torre que edificaban los hijos de los hombres. Y dijo Jehová: He aquí el pueblo es uno, y todos estos tienen un solo lenguaje; y han comenzado la obra, y nada les hará desistir ahora de lo que han pensado hacer. Ahora, pues, descendamos, y confundamos allí su lengua, para que ninguno entienda el habla de su compañero. Así los esparció Jehová desde allí sobre la faz de toda la tierra, y dejaron de edificar la ciudad. Por esto fue llamado el nombre de ella Babel, porque allí confundió[a] Jehová el lenguaje de toda la tierra, y desde allí los esparció sobre la faz de toda la tierra.

Los descendientes de Sem

(1 Cr. 1.24-27)

10 Estas son las generaciones de Sem: Sem, de edad de cien años, engendró a Arfaxad, dos años después del diluvio. 11 Y vivió Sem, después que engendró a Arfaxad, quinientos años, y engendró hijos e hijas. 12 Arfaxad vivió treinta y cinco años, y engendró a Sala. 13 Y vivió Arfaxad, después que engendró a Sala, cuatrocientos tres años, y engendró hijos e hijas. 14 Sala vivió treinta años, y engendró a Heber. 15 Y vivió Sala, después que engendró a Heber, cuatrocientos tres años, y engendró hijos e hijas. 16 Heber vivió treinta y cuatro años, y engendró a Peleg. 17 Y vivió Heber, después que engendró a Peleg, cuatrocientos treinta años, y engendró hijos e hijas. 18 Peleg vivió treinta años, y engendró a Reu. 19 Y vivió Peleg, después que engendró a Reu, doscientos nueve años, y engendró hijos e hijas. 20 Reu vivió treinta y dos años, y engendró a Serug. 21 Y vivió Reu, después que engendró a Serug, doscientos siete años, y engendró hijos e hijas. 22 Serug vivió treinta años, y engendró a Nacor. 23 Y vivió Serug, después que engendró a Nacor, doscientos años, y engendró hijos e hijas. 24 Nacor vivió veintinueve años, y engendró a Taré. 25 Y vivió Nacor, después que engendró a Taré, ciento diecinueve años, y engendró hijos e hijas. 26 Taré vivió setenta años, y engendró a Abram, a Nacor y a Harán.

Los descendientes de Taré

27 Estas son las generaciones de Taré: Taré engendró a Abram, a Nacor y a Harán; y Harán engendró a Lot. 28 Y murió Harán antes que su padre Taré en la tierra de su nacimiento, en Ur de los caldeos. 29 Y tomaron Abram y Nacor para sí mujeres; el nombre de la mujer de Abram era Sarai, y el nombre de la mujer de Nacor, Milca, hija de Harán, padre de Milca y de Isca. 30 Mas Sarai era estéril, y no tenía hijo. 31 Y tomó Taré a Abram su hijo, y a Lot hijo de Harán, hijo de su hijo, y a Sarai su nuera, mujer de Abram su hijo, y salió con ellos de Ur de los caldeos, para ir a la tierra de Canaán; y vinieron hasta Harán, y se quedaron allí. 32 Y fueron los días de Taré doscientos cinco años; y murió Taré en Harán.

The Tower of Babel

11 Now the whole earth had one language and the same words. As the people journeyed from the east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there.

They said to each other, “Let us make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” And they had brick for stone and tar for mortar. Then they said, “Come, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top will reach to heaven, and let us make a name for ourselves; otherwise we will be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth.”

But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower that the sons of men built. The Lord said, “The people are one and they have one language, and this is only the beginning of what they will do; now nothing that they propose to do will be impossible for them. Come, let us go down and there confuse their language, so that they may not understand one another’s speech.”

So the Lord scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they stopped building the city. Therefore the name of it was called Babel, because there the Lord confused the language of all the earth. From there the Lord scattered them abroad over the face of all the earth.

Shem’s Descendants(A)

18 Peleg lived thirty years, and became the father of Reu. 19 Peleg lived after the birth of Reu two hundred and nine years, and had other sons and daughters.

The name of Abram’s wife was Sarai, and the name of Nahor’s wife, Milkah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milkah and the father of Iskah. 30 But Sarai was barren; she had no child.

31 Terah took his son Abram and his grandson Lot, son of Haran, and his daughter-in-law Sarai, his son Abram’s wife, and they went out together from Ur of the Chaldeans to go into the land of Canaan; but when they came to Harran, they settled there.
