Genesis 11
1 The whole earth was of one language and of one speech.
Adapun seluruh bumi, satu bahasanya dan satu logatnya.
2 It happened, as they traveled from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they settled there.
Maka berangkatlah mereka ke sebelah timur dan menjumpai tanah datar di tanah Sinear, lalu menetaplah mereka di sana.
3 And they said to one another, "Come, let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly." They had brick for stone, and they used tar for mortar.
Mereka berkata seorang kepada yang lain: "Marilah kita membuat batu bata dan membakarnya baik-baik." Lalu bata itulah dipakai mereka sebagai batu dan ter gala-gala sebagai tanah liat.
4 They said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top reaches to the sky, and let us make ourselves a name, lest we be scattered abroad on the surface of the whole earth."
Juga kata mereka: "Marilah kita dirikan bagi kita sebuah kota dengan sebuah menara yang puncaknya sampai ke langit, dan marilah kita cari nama, supaya kita jangan terserak ke seluruh bumi."
5 And God came down to see the city and the tower, that humankind was building.
Lalu turunlah TUHAN untuk melihat kota dan menara yang didirikan oleh anak-anak manusia itu,
6 And God said, "Look, they are one people, and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do. So now nothing which they plan to do will be too difficult for them.
dan Ia berfirman: "Mereka ini satu bangsa dengan satu bahasa untuk semuanya. Ini barulah permulaan usaha mereka; mulai dari sekarang apapun juga yang mereka rencanakan, tidak ada yang tidak akan dapat terlaksana.
7 Come, let us go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another's speech."
Baiklah Kita turun dan mengacaubalaukan di sana bahasa mereka, sehingga mereka tidak mengerti lagi bahasa masing-masing."
8 Then God scattered them abroad from there on the surface of all the earth; so they ceased building the city.
Demikianlah mereka diserakkan TUHAN dari situ ke seluruh bumi, dan mereka berhenti mendirikan kota itu.
9 Therefore its name was called Babel, because there God confused the language of all the earth. From there he scattered them over the face of the whole earth.
Itulah sebabnya sampai sekarang nama kota itu disebut Babel, karena di situlah dikacaubalaukan TUHAN bahasa seluruh bumi dan dari situlah mereka diserakkan TUHAN ke seluruh bumi.
