创世记 11
Revised Chinese Union Version (Simplified Script) Shen Edition
巴别塔
11 那时，全地只有一种语言，都说一样的话。 2 他们向东迁移的时候，在示拿地找到一片平原，就住在那里。 3 他们彼此商量说：“来，让我们来做砖，把砖烧透了。”他们就拿砖当石头，又拿柏油当泥浆。 4 他们说：“来，让我们建造一座城和一座塔，塔顶通天。我们要为自己立名，免得我们分散在全地面上。” 5 耶和华降临，要看世人所建造的城和塔。 6 耶和华说：“看哪，他们成了同一个民族，都有一样的语言。这只是他们开始做的事，现在他们想要做的任何事，就没有什么可拦阻他们了。 7 来，我们下去，在那里变乱他们的语言，使他们彼此语言不通。” 8 于是耶和华使他们从那里分散在全地面上；他们就停止建造那城了。 9 因为耶和华在那里变乱了全地的语言，把人从那里分散在全地面上，所以那城名叫巴别[a]。

Origin of languages and cultures
11 All people[a] on the earth had one language and the same words. 2 When they traveled east,[b] they found a valley in the land of Shinar and settled there. 3 They said to each other, “Come, let’s make bricks and bake them hard.” They used bricks for stones and asphalt for mortar. 4 They said, “Come, let’s build for ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the sky, and let’s make a name for ourselves so that we won’t be dispersed over all the earth.”
5 Then the Lord came down to see the city and the tower that the humans built. 6 And the Lord said, “There is now one people and they all have one language. This is what they have begun to do, and now all that they plan to do will be possible for them. 7 Come, let’s go down and mix up their language there so they won’t understand each other’s language.” 8 Then the Lord dispersed them from there over all of the earth, and they stopped building the city. 9 Therefore, it is named Babel, because there the Lord mixed up[c] the language of all the earth; and from there the Lord dispersed them over all the earth.

16 When Eber was 34 years old, he became the father of Peleg. 17 After Peleg was born, Eber lived 430 years; he had other sons and daughters.

Haran became the father of Lot. 28 Haran died while with his father Terah in his native land,[d] in Ur of the Chaldeans. 29 Abram and Nahor both married; Abram’s wife was Sarai, and Nahor’s wife was Milcah the daughter of Haran, father of both Milcah and Iscah. 30 Sarai was unable to have children. 31 Terah took his son Abram, his grandson Lot (son of Haran), and his son Abram’s wife, Sarai his daughter-in-law. They left Ur of the Chaldeans for the land of Canaan, and arriving at Haran, they settled there. 32 Terah lived 205 years, and he died in Haran.
