第11章

11:1 那时，天下人的口音，言语，都是一样。

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

11:2 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。

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.

11:3 他们彼此商量说，来吧，我们要作砖，把砖烧透了。他们就拿砖当石头，又拿石漆当灰泥。

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.

11:4 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。

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.

11:5 耶和华降临，要看看世人所建造的城和塔。

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

11:6 耶和华说，看哪，他们成为一样的人民，都是一样的言语，如今既作起这事来，以后他们所要作的事就没有不成就的了。

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.

11:7 我们下去，在那里变乱他们的口音，使他们的言语彼此不通。

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

11:8 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。

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

11:9 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（就是变乱的意思）。

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.

11:10 闪的后代记在下面。洪水以后二年，闪一百岁生了亚法撒。

11:23 西鹿生拿鹤之后，又活了二百年，并且生儿养女。

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

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

11:28 哈兰死在他的本地迦勒底的吾珥，在他父亲他拉之先。

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

11:29 亚伯兰，拿鹤各娶了妻。亚伯兰的妻子名叫撒莱。拿鹤的妻子名叫密迦，是哈兰的女儿。哈兰是密迦和亦迦的父亲。

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.

11:30 撒莱不生育，没有孩子。

But Sarai was barren; she had no child.

11:31 他拉带着他儿子，亚伯兰和他孙子，哈兰的儿子罗得，并他儿妇亚伯兰的妻子撒莱，出了迦勒底的吾珥，要往迦南地去。他们走到哈兰，就住在那里。

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.

11:32 他拉共活了二百零五岁，就死在哈兰。

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