1 Mosebok 11
Det Norsk Bibelselskap 1930
11 Og hele jorden hadde ett tungemål og ens tale.
2 Og da de drog frem mot øst, fant de en slette i landet Sinear, og de bosatte sig der.
3 Og de sa til hverandre: Kom, la oss gjøre teglsten og brenne dem vel! Og de brukte tegl istedenfor sten, og jordbek istedenfor kalk.
4 Så sa de: Kom, la oss bygge oss en by med et tårn som når op til himmelen, og gjøre oss et navn, så vi ikke skal spres over hele jorden!
5 Da steg Herren ned for å se byen og tårnet som menneskenes barn hadde begynt å bygge.
6 Og Herren sa: Se, de er ett folk, og ett tungemål har de alle; dette er det første de tar sig fore, og nu vil intet være umulig for dem, hvad de så får i sinne å gjøre.
7 La oss da stige ned der og forvirre deres tungemål, så den ene ikke forstår den andres tungemål!
8 Så spredte Herren dem derfra over hele jorden, og de holdt op med å bygge på byen.
9 Derfor kalte de den Babel; for der forvirret Herren hele jordens tungemål, og derfra spredte Herren dem ut over hele jorden.
10 Dette er historien om Sems ætt: Da Sem var hundre år gammel, fikk han sønnen Arpaksad to år efter vannflommen.

17 Og efterat Eber hadde fått Peleg, levde han ennu fire hundre og tretti år og fikk sønner og døtre.

23 Og efterat Serug hadde fått Nakor, levde han ennu to hundre år og fikk sønner og døtre.
24 Da Nakor var ni og tyve år gammel, fikk han sønnen Tarah.
25 Og efterat Nakor hadde fått Tarah, levde han ennu hundre og nitten år og fikk sønner og døtre.
26 Da Tarah var sytti år gammel, fikk han sønnene Abram, Nakor og Haran.
27 Dette er historien om Tarah og hans ætt: Tarah fikk sønnene Abram, Nakor og Haran. Og Haran fikk sønnen Lot.
28 Og Haran døde hos sin far Tarah i sitt fedreland, i Ur i Kaldea.
29 Og Abram og Nakor tok sig hustruer; Abrams hustru hette Sarai, og Nakors hustru hette Milka og var en datter av Haran, far til Milka og Jiska.
30 Og Sarai var ufruktbar, hun hadde ikke noget barn.
31 Og Tarah tok med sig Abram, sin sønn, og Lot, Harans sønn, sin sønnesønn, og Sarai, sin sønnekone, sin sønn Abrams hustru; og de drog ut sammen fra Ur i Kaldea for å reise til Kana'ans land, og de kom til Karan og bosatte sig der.
32 Og Tarahs dager blev to hundre og fem år; så døde Tarah i Karan.

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.

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.
