1 Mosebog 11
1 Og al Jorden havde eet Tungemaal og eet Sprog.
So it came to pass that, all the earth, was of one manner of speech, —and of one stock of words.
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 brake away onwards, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and 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.
Then said they, each man to his friend, Come on! let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly, —So the bricks, served them for stone, and bitumen, served them 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 on! let us build for ourselves a city, and a tower with its head in the heavens, so let us make for ourselves a name, —lest we be scattered abroad over the face of all the earth.
5 Da nedfor Herren for at se den Stad og det Taarn, som Menneskens Børn byggede.
And Yahweh came down, to behold the city, and the tower, —which the sons of men had 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.
Then said Yahweh: Lo! one people and one manner of speech, have they all, this, then is what they have begun to do, —now, therefore, nothing will be withholden from them which they may plan to do.
7 Velan, lader os fare ned og blande deres Tungemaal der, at den ene ikke forstaar den andens Tungemaal.
Come on! let us go down, and there confuse their speech, —that they may not understand, each man the speech of his friend.
8 Og Herren adspredte dem derfra over al Jordens Kreds; og de lode af at bygge Staden.
So Yahweh scattered them from thence over the face of all the earth, —and so 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.
For this cause, was the name thereof called Babel ["Confusion"]; because there, did Yahweh confuse the speech of all the earth, —and, from thence, did Yahweh scatter them abroad, over the face of all the earth.
