Postanak 11
1 Sva je zemlja imala jedan jezik i riječi iste.
And all the earth was one lip, and there was one language to all.
2 Ali kako su se ljudi selili s istoka, naiđu na jednu dolinu u zemlji Šinearu i tu se nastane.
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 Jedan drugome reče: “Hajdemo praviti opeke te ih peći da otvrdnu!” Opeke im bile mjesto kamena, a paklina im služila za žbuku.
And a man said to his neighbor, Come, let us make bricks and bake them with fire. And the brick was to them for stone, and their mortar was bitumen.
4 Onda rekoše: “Hajde da sebi podignemo grad i toranj s vrhom do neba! Pribavimo sebi ime, da se ne raspršimo po svoj zemlji!”
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 Jahve se spusti da vidi grad i toranj što su ga gradili sinovi čovječji.
And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the sons of men built.
6 Jahve reče. “Zbilja su jedan narod, s jednim jezikom za sve! Ovo je tek početak njihovih nastojanja. Sad im ništa neće biti neostvarivo što god naume izvesti.
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 Hajde da siđemo i jezik im pobrkamo, da jedan drugome govora ne razumije.”
Come, and having gone down let us there confound their tongue, that they may not understand each the voice of his neighbor.
8 Tako ih Jahve rasu odande po svoj zemlji te ne sazidaše grada.
And the Lord scattered them thence over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city and the tower.
9 Stoga mu je ime Babel, jer je ondje Jahve pobrkao govor svima u onom kraju i odande ih je Jahve raspršio po svoj zemlji.
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.
