Genesis 11
1 Now the whole world had one language and a common form of speech.
अहिले सारा पृत्वीमा एउटै भाषा थियो र शब्दहरू पनि उही थिए ।
2 And as people journeyed eastward, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there.
तिनीहरू पूर्वतिर जाँदा, तिनीहरूले शिनारको भूमिमा एउटा मैदान भेट्टाए र तिनीहरू त्यही बसे ।
3 And they said to one another, “Come, let us make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” So they used brick instead of stone, and tar instead of mortar.
तिनीहरूले आपसमा भने, “आओ, ईंटहरू बनाऔँ र तिनीहरूलाई राम्ररी पलौँ ।” तिनीहरूसँग ढुङ्गाको सट्टामा ईंट थियो र हिलोको सट्टामा अलकत्रा थियो ।
4 “Come,” they said, “let us build for ourselves a city with a tower that reaches to the heavens, that we may make a name for ourselves and not be scattered over the face of all the earth.”
तिनीहरूले भने, “आओ, हाम्रो निम्ति एउटा सहर बनाऔँ र आकाश नै छुने एउटा धरहरा निर्माण गर्यौँ अनि नाउँ कमाऔँ । यदि हामीले यसो गरनौँ भने हामी सारा पृथ्वीभरि छरपष्ट हुनेछौँ ।”
5 Then the LORD came down to see the city and the tower that the sons of men were building.
यसैले परमप्रभु परमेश्वर आदमका सन्तानहरूले निर्माण गरेका त्यो सहर र धरहरा हेर्न तल आउनुभयो ।
6 And the LORD said, “If they have begun to do this as one people speaking the same language, then nothing they devise will be beyond them.
परमेप्रभुले भन्नुभयो, “हेर, तिनीहरू एउटै भाषामा एउटै मानिसझैँ छन् अनि तिनीहरूले यसो गर्न सुरु गरिरहेका छन् । तिनीहरूले गर्न चाहेको कुनै पनि कुरा तिनीहरूको निम्ति असम्भव हुनेछैन ।
7 Come, let Us go down and confuse their language, so that they will not understand one another’s speech.”
आओ, हामी तल जाऔँ र तिनीहरूका भाषा खलबलाइ दिऔँ, ताकि तिनीहरू एउटाले भनेको अर्काले बुझ्न सकून् ।”
8 So the LORD scattered them from there over the face of all the earth, and they stopped building the city.
यसैले परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूलाई सारा पृथ्वीभरि छरपष्ट पार्नुभयो र तिनीहरूले त्यो सहर निर्माण गर्न छोडे ।
9 That is why it is called Babel, for there the LORD confused the language of the whole world, and from that place the LORD scattered them over the face of all the earth.
यसकारण, यसको नाउँ बाबेल राखियो, किनभने परमप्रभुले त्यहाँ सारा पृथ्वीको भाषा खलबलाउनुभयो अनि त्यहाँबाट नै परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूलाई सारा पृथ्वीभरि छरपष्ट पा्र्नुभयो ।
