Genesis 11
1 And all the earth was one lip, and there was one language to all.
全地は同じ発音、同じ言葉であった。
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.
時に人々は東に移り、シナルの地に平野を得て、そこに住んだ。
3 And a man said to his neighbor, Come, let us make bricks and bake them with fire. And the brick was to them for stone, and their mortar was bitumen.
彼らは互に言った、「さあ、れんがを造って、よく焼こう」。こうして彼らは石の代りに、れんがを得、しっくいの代りに、アスファルトを得た。
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.
彼らはまた言った、「さあ、町と塔とを建てて、その頂を天に届かせよう。そしてわれわれは名を上げて、全地のおもてに散るのを免れよう」。
5 And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the sons of men built.
時に主は下って、人の子たちの建てる町と塔とを見て、
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.
言われた、「民は一つで、みな同じ言葉である。彼らはすでにこの事をしはじめた。彼らがしようとする事は、もはや何事もとどめ得ないであろう。
7 Come, and having gone down let us there confound their tongue, that they may not understand each the voice of his neighbor.
さあ、われわれは下って行って、そこで彼らの言葉を乱し、互に言葉が通じないようにしよう」。
8 And the Lord scattered them thence over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city and the tower.
こうして主が彼らをそこから全地のおもてに散らされたので、彼らは町を建てるのをやめた。
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.
これによってその町の名はバベルと呼ばれた。主がそこで全地の言葉を乱されたからである。主はそこから彼らを全地のおもてに散らされた。
