1 Mosebog 11
1 Og al Jorden havde eet Tungemaal og eet Sprog.
And the whole earth was of one language and of one speech.
2 Og det skete, der de rejste fra Østen, da fandt de en Dal i Landet Sinear og boede der.
And it came to pass, as they journeyed east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they dwelt there.
3 Og de sagde, den ene til den anden: Velan, lader os stryge Tegl og brænde dem vel; og de havde Tegl for Sten, og Jordbeg havde de for Kalk.
And they said one to another, Come, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and they had slime for mortar.
4 Og de sagde: Velan, lader os bygge os en Stad og et Taarn, hvis Spidse kan naa op til Himmelen, og lader os gøre os et Navn, at vi ikke skulle adspredes over al Jorden.
And they said, Come, let us build a city for us, and a tower, and its top in the heavens. And let us make a name for us, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
5 Da nedfor Herren for at se den Stad og det Taarn, som Menneskens Børn byggede.
And Jehovah came down to see the city and the tower, which the sons of men built.
6 Og Herren sagde: Se, dette er eet Folk, og de have alle eet Tungemaal, og dette have de begyndt at gøre; og nu vil intet formenes dem af alt, hvad de faa i Sinde at gøre.
And Jehovah said, Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language, and this is what they begin to do. And now nothing will be withheld from them, which they propose to do.
7 Velan, lader os fare ned og blande deres Tungemaal der, at den ene ikke forstaar den andens Tungemaal.
Come, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand each other's speech.
8 Og Herren adspredte dem derfra over al Jordens Kreds; og de lode af at bygge Staden.
So Jehovah scattered them abroad from there upon the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city.
9 Derfor kaldte man dens Navn Babel; thi Herren blandede der al Jordens Tungemaal, og Herren adspredte dem derfra over al Jordens Kreds.
Therefore the name of it was called Babel, because Jehovah there confounded the language of all the earth, and from there Jehovah scattered them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
