創世記 11
1 當時全世界只有一種語言和一樣的話。
And all the earth was one lip, and there was one language to all.
2 當人們由東方遷移的時候，在史納爾地方找到了一塊平原，就在那裏住下了。
And it came to pass as they moved from the east, they found a plain in the land of Senaar, and they lived there.
3 他們彼此說：「來，我們做磚，用火燒透。」他們遂拿磚當石，拿瀝青代灰泥。
And a man said to his neighbour, Come, let us make bricks and bake them with fire. And the brick was to them for stone, and their mortar was bitumen.
4 然後彼此說：「來，讓我們建造一城一塔，塔頂摩天，好給我們作記念，免得我們在全地面上分散了! 」
And they said, Come, let us build to ourselves a city and tower, whose top shall be to heaven, and let us make to ourselves a name, before we are scattered abroad upon the face of all the earth.
5 上主遂下來，要看看世人所造的城和塔。
And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the sons of men built.
6 上主說：「看，他們都是一個民族，都說一樣的語言。他們如今就開始做這事；以後他們所想做的，就沒有不成功的了。
And the Lord said, Behold, [there is] one race, and one lip of all, and they have begun to do this, and now nothing shall fail from them of all that they may have undertaken to do.
7 來，我們下去，混亂他們的語言，使他們彼此語言不通。」
Come, and having gone down let us there confound their tongue, that they may not understand each the voice of his neighbour.
8 於是上主將他們分散到全地面，他們遂停止建造那城。
And the Lord scattered them thence over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city and the tower.
9 為此人稱那地為「巴貝耳，」因為上主在那裏混亂了全地的語言，且從那裏將他們分散到全地面。
On this account its name was called Confusion, because there the Lord confounded the languages of all the earth, and thence the Lord scattered them upon the face of all the earth.
