Genesis 11
1 And all the earth was one lip, and there was one language to all.
Es hatte aber alle Welt einerlei Zunge und Sprache.
2 And it came to pass as they moved from the east, they found a plain in the land of Senaar, and they dwelt there.
Da sie nun zogen gen Morgen, fanden sie ein eben Land im Lande Sinear und wohneten daselbst,
3 And a man said to his neighbour, Come, let us make bricks and bake them with fire. And the brick was to them for stone, and their mortar was bitumen.
und sprachen untereinander: Wohlauf, laßt uns Ziegel streichen und brennen! Und nahmen Ziegel zu Stein und Ton zu Kalk
4 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.
und sprachen: Wohlauf, laßt uns eine Stadt und Turm bauen, des Spitze bis an den Himmel reiche, daß wir uns einen Namen machen; denn wir werden vielleicht zerstreuet in alle Länder.
5 And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the sons of men built.
Da fuhr der HERR hernieder, daß er sähe die Stadt und Turm, die die Menschenkinder baueten.
6 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.
Und der HERR sprach: Siehe, es ist einerlei Volk und einerlei Sprache unter ihnen allen, und haben das angefangen zu tun; sie werden nicht ablassen von allem, das sie vorgenommen haben zu tun.
7 Come, and having gone down let us there confound their tongue, that they may not understand each the voice of his neighbour.
Wohlauf, laßt uns herniederfahren und ihre Sprache daselbst verwirren, daß keiner des andern Sprache vernehme.
8 And the Lord scattered them thence over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city and the tower.
Also zerstreuete sie der HERR von dannen in alle Länder, daß sie mußten aufhören, die Stadt zu bauen.
9 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.
Daher heißt ihr Name Babel, daß der HERR daselbst verwirret hatte aller Länder Sprache und sie zerstreuet von dannen in alle Länder.
