< Genesis 11 >
1 And it was all the earth language one and words one.
Og al Jorden havde eet Tungemaal og eet Sprog.
2 And it was when set out they from [the] east and they found a plain in [the] land of Shinar and they dwelt there.
Og det skete, der de rejste fra Østen, da fandt de en Dal i Landet Sinear og boede der.
3 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.
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 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.
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 he came down Yahweh to see the city and the tower which they had built [the] children of humankind.
Da nedfor Herren for at se den Stad og det Taarn, som Menneskens Børn byggede.
6 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.
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 Give! let us go down and let us confuse there language their that not they will hear each [the] language of neighbor his.
Velan, lader os fare ned og blande deres Tungemaal der, at den ene ikke forstaar den andens Tungemaal.
8 And he scattered Yahweh them from there over [the] surface of all the earth and they ceased to build the city.
Og Herren adspredte dem derfra over al Jordens Kreds; og de lode af at bygge Staden.
9 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.
Derfor kaldte man dens Navn Babel; thi Herren blandede der al Jordens Tungemaal, og Herren adspredte dem derfra over al Jordens Kreds.
