Genesis 11
1 And all the earth was one lip, and there was one language to all.
OR tutta la terra era d'una favella e di un linguaggio.
2 And it came to pass as they moved from the east, they found a plain in the land of Senaar, and they lived there.
Ed avvenne che, partendosi gli uomini di Oriente, trovarono una pianura nel paese di Sinear, e quivi si posarono.
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.
E dissero l'uno all'altro: Or su, facciamo de' mattoni, e cociamoli col fuoco. I mattoni adunque furono loro in vece di pietre, e il bitume in vece di malta.
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.
Poi dissero: Or su, edifichiamoci una città, ed una torre, la cui sommità [giunga] fino al cielo, ed acquistiamoci fama; che talora noi non siamo dispersi sopra la faccia di tutta la terra.
5 And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the sons of men built.
E il Signore discese, per veder la città e la torre che i figliuoli degli uomini edificavano.
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.
E il Signore disse: Ecco un medesimo popolo, ed [essi] tutti hanno un medesimo linguaggio, e questo [è] il cominciamento del lor lavoro, ed ora tutto ciò che hanno disegnato di fare, non sarà loro divietato.
7 Come, and having gone down let us there confound their tongue, that they may not understand each the voice of his neighbour.
Or su, scendiamo e confondiamo ivi la lor favella; acciocchè l'uno non intenda la favella dell'altro.
8 And the Lord scattered them thence over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city and the tower.
E il Signore li disperse di là sopra la faccia di tutta la terra; ed essi cessarono di edificar la città.
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.
Perciò essa fu nominata Babilonia; perciocchè il Signore confuse quivi la favella di tutta la terra, e disperse coloro di là sopra la faccia di tutta la terra.
