Genesis 11

Menara Babel
11:1 Adapun seluruh bumi, satu bahasanya dan satu logatnya. 11:2 Maka berangkatlah mereka ke sebelah timur dan menjumpai tanah datar di tanah Sinear, lalu menetaplah mereka di sana. 11:3 Mereka berkata seorang kepada yang lain: "Marilah kita membuat batu bata dan membakarnya baik-baik." Lalu bata itulah dipakai mereka sebagai batu dan ter gala-gala sebagai tanah liat. 11:4 Juga kata mereka: "Marilah kita dirikan bagi kita sebuah kota dengan sebuah menara yang puncaknya sampai ke langit, dan marilah kita cari nama, supaya kita jangan terserak ke seluruh bumi." 11:5 Lalu turunlah TUHAN untuk melihat kota dan menara yang didirikan oleh anak-anak manusia itu, 11:6 dan Ia berfirman: "Mereka ini satu bangsa dengan satu bahasa untuk semuanya. Ini barulah permulaan usaha mereka; mulai dari sekarang apapun juga yang mereka rencanakan, tidak ada yang tidak akan dapat terlaksana. 11:7 Baiklah Kita turun dan mengacaubalaukan di sana bahasa mereka, sehingga mereka tidak mengerti lagi bahasa masing-masing." 11:8 Demikianlah mereka diserakkan TUHAN dari situ ke seluruh bumi, dan mereka berhenti mendirikan kota itu. 11:9 Itulah sebabnya sampai sekarang nama kota itu disebut Babel, karena di situlah dikacaubalaukan TUHAN bahasa seluruh bumi dan dari situlah mereka diserakkan TUHAN ke seluruh bumi. Keturunan Sem 11:10 Inilah keturunan Sem. Setelah Sem berumur seratus tahun, ia memperanakkan Arpakhsad, dua tahun setelah air bah itu. 11:11 Sem masih hidup lima ratus tahun, setelah ia memperanakkan Arpakhsad, dan ia memperanakkan anak-anak lelaki dan perempuan. 11:12 Setelah Arpakhsad hidup tiga puluh lima tahun, ia memperanakkan Selah. 11:13 Arpakhsad masih hidup empat ratus tiga tahun, setelah ia memperanakkan Selah, dan ia memperanakkan anak-anak lelaki dan perempuan. 11:14 Setelah Selah hidup tiga puluh tahun, ia memperanakkan Eber. 11:15 Selah masih hidup empat ratus tiga tahun, setelah ia memperanakkan Eber, dan ia memperanakkan anak-anak lelaki dan perempuan. 11:16 Setelah Eber hidup tiga puluh empat tahun, ia memperanakkan Peleg. 11:17 Eber masih hidup empat ratus tiga puluh tahun, setelah ia memperanakkan Peleg, dan ia memperanakkan anak-anak lelaki dan perempuan. 11:18 Setelah Peleg hidup tiga puluh tahun, ia memperanakkan Rehu. 11:19 Peleg masih hidup dua ratus sembilan tahun, setelah ia memperanakkan Rehu, dan ia memperanakkan anak-anak lelaki dan perempuan. 11:20 Setelah Rehu hidup tiga puluh dua tahun, ia memperanakkan Serug. 11:21 Rehu masih hidup dua ratus tujuh tahun, setelah ia memperanakkan Serug, dan ia memperanakkan anak-anak lelaki dan perempuan. 11:22 Setelah Serug hidup tiga puluh tahun, ia memperanakkan Nahor. 11:23 Serug masih hidup dua ratus tahun, setelah ia memperanakkan Nahor, dan ia memperanakkan anak-anak lelaki dan perempuan. 11:24 Setelah Nahor hidup dua puluh sembilan tahun, ia memperanakkan Terah. 11:25 Nahor masih hidup seratus sembilan belas tahun, setelah ia memperanakkan Terah, dan ia memperanakkan anak-anak lelaki dan perempuan. 11:26 Setelah Terah hidup tujuh puluh tahun, ia memperanakkan Abram, Nahor dan Haran. Daftar keturunan Terah 11:27 Inilah keturunan Terah. Terah memperanakkan Abram, Nahor dan Haran, dan Haran memperanakkan Lot. 11:28 Ketika Terah, ayahnya, masih hidup, matilah Haran di negeri kelahirannya, di Ur-Kasdim. 11:29 Abram dan Nahor kedua-duanya kawin; nama isteri Abram ialah Sarai, dan nama isteri Nahor ialah Milka, anak Haran ayah Milka dan Yiska. 11:30 Sarai itu mandul, tidak mempunyai anak. 11:31 Lalu Terah membawa Abram, anaknya, serta cucunya, Lot, yaitu anak Haran, dan Sarai, menantunya, isteri Abram, anaknya; ia berangkat bersama-sama dengan mereka dari Ur-Kasdim untuk pergi ke tanah Kanaan, lalu sampailah mereka ke Haran, dan menetap di sana. 11:32 Umur Terah ada dua ratus lima tahun; lalu ia mati di Haran.

Genesis 11
1

The whole earth was of one language and of one speech.
2

It happened, as they traveled east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they lived there.
3

They said one to another, "Come, let's make bricks, and burn them thoroughly." They had brick for stone, and they used tar for mortar.
4

They said, "Come, let's build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top reaches to the sky, and let's make ourselves a name, lest we be scattered abroad on the surface of the whole earth."
5

Yahweh came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men built.
6

Yahweh said, "Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language, and this is what they begin to do. Now nothing will be withheld from them, which they intend to do.
7

Come, let's go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another's speech."
8

So Yahweh scattered them abroad from there on the surface of all the earth. They stopped building the city.
9

Therefore its name was called Babel, because there Yahweh confused the language of all the earth. From there, Yahweh scattered them abroad on the surface of all the earth.
