Genesis

Chapter 11

1 NOW the whole earth spoke one language and with one manner of speech.

2 And it came to pass, as men journeyed from the east, they found a plain in the land of Sinar; and they settled there.

3 And they said one to another, Come, let us make bricks and burn them with fire. And they had bricks for stone, and slime for mortar.

4 Then they said, Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top may reach to heaven; and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.

5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower which men were building.

6 And the LORD said, Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language; and they have reasoned to do this thing; and now nothing will prevent them from doing that which they have imagined to do.

7 Come, let us go down, and there divide their language so that they may not understand one another's speech.

8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from there upon the face of all the earth; and they ceased from building the city.

9 Therefore they called the name of it Babel; because it was there that the LORD confounded the language of all the earth; and from there the LORD scattered them upon the face of all the earth.

10 These are the descendants of Shem: Shem was a hundred years old, and begot Arphakhashar, two years after the flood;

11 And Shem lived after he begot Arphakhashar five hundred years, and begot sons and daughters.

12 And Arphakhashar lived thirty-five years, and begot Shalah;

13 And Arphakhashar lived after he begot Shalah four hundred and three years, and begot sons and daughters.

14 And Shalah lived thirty years, and begot Eber;

15 And Shalah lived after he begot Eber four hundred and three years, and begot sons and daughters.

16 And Eber lived thirty-four years, and begot Peleg:

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

18 And Peleg lived thirty years, and begot Rau;

19 And Peleg lived after he begot Rau two hundred and nine years, and begot sons and daughters.

20 And Rau lived thirty-two years, and begot Serug;

21 And Rau lived after he begot Serug two hundred and seven years, and begot sons and daughters.

22 And Serug lived thirty years, and begot Nahor;

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

24 And Nahor lived twenty-nine years, and begot Terah;

25 And Nahor lived after he begot Terah one hundred and nineteen years, and begot sons and daughters.

26 And Terah lived seventy-five years, and begot Abram, manor, and Haran.

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

28 And Haran died before his father Terah in his native land, in Ur of the Chaldeans.

29 And Abram and Nahor took wives for themselves; 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 Iscah.

30 But Sarai was barren; she had no child.

31 And Terah 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 with them from Ur of the Chaldeans to go to the land of Canaan: and they came as far as Haran, and they settled there.

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

1 昔天下億兆,言語皆同,

2 自東以徙。至於示拿,見有平原居焉。

3 彼此互論曰:“共相陶瓦爇之以火,於是有瓦以代石,更有石油,以代泥沙,

4 又曰:“共相建邑,經營層臺,高及霄漢,名藉以揚,庶免四方散處。

5 耶和華臨格,觀衆所築之邑臺,

6 曰:“民弗異族,言弗殊音,今已有此作爲,其後烏能底止?

7 我儕臨格,淆其言語,使彼此不通。

8 遂散之四方,於是罷築城之役。

9 緣耶和華淆億兆之言語,散之四方,故名其邑曰巴別〔巴別義即混亂之義〕

10 閃之裔如左:洪水後二年,閃方百歲,生亞法撒。

28 死於故土,卽迦勒底之耳邑,其時父他拉尙在,

29 亞伯蘭、拿鶴咸娶室,亞伯蘭妻撒勑,拿鶴妻密迦、密迦曁以士迦,俱哈蘭之女。

30 撒勑不姙故無出。

31 他拉挈其子亞伯蘭,及孫羅得,卽哈蘭子並其媳,卽亞伯蘭妻撒勑,咸出迦勒底之耳邑,欲往迦南,至於哈蘭居焉。

32 他拉享壽二百有五歲。終於哈蘭。

5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower which men were building.

5 耶和華臨格,觀衆所築之邑臺,

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

32 他拉享壽二百有五歲。終於哈蘭。
