اَلتَّكْوِينُ 11
| وَكَانَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ كُلُّهَا لِسَانًا وَاحِدًا وَلُغَةً وَاحِدَةً. | ١ 1 |
The whole earth was of one language and of one speech.
| وَحَدَثَ فِي ٱرْتِحَالِهِمْ شَرْقًا أَنَّهُمْ وَجَدُوا بُقْعَةً فِي أَرْضِ شِنْعَارَ وَسَكَنُوا هُنَاكَ. | ٢ 2 |
As they traveled east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they lived there.
| وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ: «هَلُمَّ نَصْنَعُ لِبْنًا وَنَشْوِيهِ شَيًّا». فَكَانَ لَهُمُ ٱللِّبْنُ مَكَانَ ٱلْحَجَرِ، وَكَانَ لَهُمُ ٱلْحُمَرُ مَكَانَ ٱلطِّينِ. | ٣ 3 |
They said to one another, “Come, let’s make bricks, and burn them thoroughly.” They had brick for stone, and they used tar for mortar.
| وَقَالُوا: «هَلُمَّ نَبْنِ لِأَنْفُسِنَا مَدِينَةً وَبُرْجًا رَأْسُهُ بِٱلسَّمَاءِ. وَنَصْنَعُ لِأَنْفُسِنَا ٱسْمًا لِئَلَّا نَتَبَدَّدَ عَلَى وَجْهِ كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ». | ٤ 4 |
They said, “Come, let’s build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top reaches to the sky, and let’s make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad on the surface of the whole earth.”
| فَنَزَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِيَنْظُرَ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ وَٱلْبُرْجَ ٱللَّذَيْنِ كَانَ بَنُو آدَمَ يَبْنُونَهُمَا. | ٥ 5 |
Adonai came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men built.
| وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «هُوَذَا شَعْبٌ وَاحِدٌ وَلِسَانٌ وَاحِدٌ لِجَمِيعِهِمْ، وَهَذَا ٱبْتِدَاؤُهُمْ بِٱلْعَمَلِ. وَٱلْآنَ لَا يَمْتَنِعُ عَلَيْهِمْ كُلُّ مَا يَنْوُونَ أَنْ يَعْمَلُوهُ. | ٦ 6 |
Adonai 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.
| هَلُمَّ نَنْزِلْ وَنُبَلْبِلْ هُنَاكَ لِسَانَهُمْ حَتَّى لَا يَسْمَعَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِسَانَ بَعْضٍ». | ٧ 7 |
Come, let’s go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not sh'ma ·hear understand obey· one another’s speech.”
| فَبَدَّدَهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ هُنَاكَ عَلَى وَجْهِ كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ، فَكَفُّوا عَنْ بُنْيَانِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، | ٨ 8 |
So Adonai scattered them abroad from there on the surface of all the earth. They stopped building the city.
| لِذَلِكَ دُعِيَ ٱسْمُهَا «بَابِلَ» لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ هُنَاكَ بَلْبَلَ لِسَانَ كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ. وَمِنْ هُنَاكَ بَدَّدَهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَى وَجْهِ كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ٩ 9 |
Therefore its name was called Babel [Confusion], because there Adonai confused the language of all the earth. From there, Adonai scattered them abroad on the surface of all the earth.
