Ang Tore ng Babel
11 Sa simula'y iisa ang wika at magkakapareho ang mga salitang ginagamit ng lahat ng tao sa daigdig. 2 Sa kanilang pagpapalipat-lipat sa silangan,[a] nakarating sila sa isang kapatagan sa Shinar at doon na nanirahan. 3 Nagkaisa silang gumawa ng maraming tisa at lutuin itong mabuti para tumibay. Tisa ang ginagamit nilang bato at alkitran ang kanilang semento. 4 Ang sabi nila, “Halikayo at magtayo tayo ng isang lunsod na may toreng abot sa langit upang maging tanyag tayo at huwag nang magkawatak-watak sa daigdig.”
5 Bumabâ si Yahweh upang tingnan ang lunsod at ang toreng itinayo ng mga tao. 6 Sinabi niya, “Ngayon ay nagkakaisa silang lahat at iisa ang kanilang wika. Pasimula pa lamang ito ng mga binabalak nilang gawin. Hindi magtatagal at gagawin nila ang anumang kanilang magustuhan. 7 Ang mabuti'y bumabâ tayo at guluhin ang kanilang wika upang hindi sila magkaintindihan.” 8 At ginawa ni Yahweh na ang mga tao ay magkawatak-watak sa buong daigdig, kaya natigil ang pagtatayo ng lunsod. 9 Babel[b] ang itinawag nila sa lunsod na iyon, sapagkat doo'y ginulo ni Yahweh ang wika ng mga tao. At mula roon, nagkawatak-watak ang mga tao sa buong daigdig dahil sa ginawa ni Yahweh.
Ang Lahi ni Shem(A)
10 Ito ang kasaysayan ng mga lahi na nagmula kay Shem. Dalawang taon makalipas ang baha, si Shem ay nagkaanak ng isang lalaki, si Arfaxad. Si Shem ay sandaang taóng gulang na noon. 11 Nabuhay pa siya nang 500 taon, at nagkaroon pa ng ibang mga anak.
12 Nang si Arfaxad ay tatlumpu't limang taon na, nagkaanak siya ng isang lalaki, si Shela. 13 Nabuhay pa siya nang 403 taon, at nagkaroon pa ng ibang mga anak.
14 Tatlumpung taon na noon si Shela nang maging anak niya si Heber. 15 Nabuhay pa siya nang 403 taon, at nagkaroon din ng ibang mga anak.
16 Sa gulang na tatlumpu't apat na taon, naging anak ni Heber si Peleg. 17 Nabuhay pa siya nang 430 taon, at nagkaroon din ng ibang mga anak.
18 Sa gulang na tatlumpung taon, naging anak ni Peleg si Reu. 19 Nabuhay pa siya nang 209 taon, at nagkaroon pa ng ibang mga anak.
20 Si Reu naman ay tatlumpu't dalawang taon na nang maging anak niya si Serug. 21 Nabuhay pa siya nang 207 taon, at nagkaroon din ng ibang mga anak.
22 Si Serug ay tatlumpung taon nang maging anak niya si Nahor. 23 Nabuhay pa siya nang 200 taon, at nagkaroon din ng ibang mga anak.
24 Naging anak naman ni Nahor si Terah nang siya'y dalawampu't siyam na taon. 25 Nabuhay pa siya nang 119 taon, at nagkaroon din ng ibang mga anak.
Ang Lahi ni Terah
26 Pitumpung taon na si Terah nang magkaanak ng tatlong lalaki: sina Abram, Nahor at Haran.
27 Ito naman ang kasaysayan ng mga anak ni Terah na sina Abram, Nahor at si Haran na ama ni Lot. 28 Buháy pa si Terah nang mamatay si Haran sa kanyang sariling bayan ng Ur, sa Caldea. 29 Napangasawa ni Abram si Sarai at napangasawa naman ni Nahor si Milca na anak ni Haran na ama rin ni Isca. 30 Si Sarai ay hindi magkaanak sapagkat baog siya.
31 Umalis si Terah sa bayan ng Ur, Caldea, kasama ang kanyang anak na si Abram, ang asawa nitong si Sarai at si Lot na anak ni Haran. Papunta sila sa Canaan ngunit nang dumating sa Haran, doon na sila nanirahan. 32 Doon namatay si Terah sa gulang na 205 taon.

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.
From Shem to Abram(T)
10 This is the account(U) of Shem’s family line.

12 When Arphaxad had lived 35 years, he became the father of Shelah.(W) 13 And after he became the father of Shelah, Arphaxad lived 403 years and had other sons and daughters.[e]
14 When Shelah had lived 30 years, he became the father of Eber.(X) 15 And after he became the father of Eber, Shelah lived 403 years and had other sons and daughters.
16 When Eber had lived 34 years, he became the father of Peleg.(Y) 17 And after he became the father of Peleg, Eber lived 430 years and had other sons and daughters.
18 When Peleg had lived 30 years, he became the father of Reu.(Z) 19 And after he became the father of Reu, Peleg lived 209 years and had other sons and daughters.

26 After Terah had lived 70 years, he became the father of Abram,(AD) Nahor(AE) and Haran.(AF)
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.
