1 Mosebog 11
1 Og al Jorden havde eet Tungemaal og eet Sprog.
Now the whole earth used one language and had the same words.
2 Og det skete, der de rejste fra Østen, da fandt de en Dal i Landet Sinear og boede der.
As they journeyed in the east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and they settled 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.
They said to one another, “Come, let us make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” They had brick instead of stone and tar as 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.
They said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower whose top will reach to the sky, and let us make a name for ourselves. If we do not, we will be scattered across the surface of the whole earth.”
5 Da nedfor Herren for at se den Stad og det Taarn, som Menneskens Børn byggede.
So Yahweh came down to see the city and the tower which the descendants of Adam 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.
Yahweh said, “Look, they are one people with the same language, and they are beginning to do this! Soon nothing that they intend to do will be impossible for them.
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 confuse their language there, so that they may not understand each other.”
8 Og Herren adspredte dem derfra over al Jordens Kreds; og de lode af at bygge Staden.
So Yahweh scattered them from there across the surface of all the earth and they stopped 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, its name was called Babel, because there Yahweh confused the language of the whole earth and from there Yahweh scattered them abroad over the surface of all the earth.
