< Genesis 11 >
1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
And it was all the earth language one and words one.
2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.
And it was when set out they from [the] east and they found a plain in [the] land of Shinar and they dwelt there.
3 And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter.
And they said each to neighbor his give! let us make bricks bricks and let us burn [them] to burning and became for them brick to stone and bitumen became for them to mortar.
4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
And they said give! - let us build for ourselves a city and a tower and top its [will be] in the heavens and we may make for ourselves a name lest we should be scattered over [the] surface of all the earth.
5 And YHWH came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
And he came down Yahweh to see the city and the tower which they had built [the] children of humankind.
6 And YHWH said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
And he said Yahweh here! a people one and a language one [belongs] to all of them and this [is] beginning they to do and now not it will be withheld from them all that they will plan to do.
7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.
Give! let us go down and let us confuse there language their that not they will hear each [the] language of neighbor his.
8 So YHWH scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.
And he scattered Yahweh them from there over [the] surface of all the earth and they ceased to build the city.
9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because YHWH did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did YHWH scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
There-fore someone called name its Babel for there he confused Yahweh [the] language of all the earth and from there he scattered them Yahweh over [the] surface of all the earth.
