Genesis 11
1 The whole earth was of one language and of one speech.
Og al Jorden havde eet Tungemaal og eet Sprog.
2 It happened, as they traveled from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they settled there.
Og det skete, der de rejste fra Østen, da fandt de en Dal i Landet Sinear og boede der.
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.
Og de sagde, den ene til den anden: Velan, lader os stryge Tegl og brænde dem vel; og de havde Tegl for Sten, og Jordbeg havde de for Kalk.
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."
Og de sagde: Velan, lader os bygge os en Stad og et Taarn, hvis Spidse kan naa op til Himmelen, og lader os gøre os et Navn, at vi ikke skulle adspredes over al Jorden.
5 And God came down to see the city and the tower, that humankind was building.
Da nedfor Herren for at se den Stad og det Taarn, som Menneskens Børn byggede.
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.
Og Herren sagde: Se, dette er eet Folk, og de have alle eet Tungemaal, og dette have de begyndt at gøre; og nu vil intet formenes dem af alt, hvad de faa i Sinde at gøre.
7 Come, let us go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another's speech."
Velan, lader os fare ned og blande deres Tungemaal der, at den ene ikke forstaar den andens Tungemaal.
8 Then God scattered them abroad from there on the surface of all the earth; so they ceased building the city.
Og Herren adspredte dem derfra over al Jordens Kreds; og de lode af at bygge Staden.
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.
Derfor kaldte man dens Navn Babel; thi Herren blandede der al Jordens Tungemaal, og Herren adspredte dem derfra over al Jordens Kreds.
