Genesis 11
1 And it was all the earth language one and words one.
Hele Menneskeheden havde eet Tungemål og samme 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.
Da de nu drog østerpå, traf de på en Dal i Sinear, og der slog de sig ned.
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.
Da sagde de til hverandre: "Kom, lad os stryge Teglsten og brænde dem godt!" De brugte nemlig Tegl som Sten og Jordbeg som 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.
Derpå sagde de: "Kom, lad os bygge os en By og et Tårn, hvis Top når til Himmelen, og skabe os et Navn, for at vi ikke skal spredes ud over hele Jorden!"
5 And he came down Yahweh to see the city and the tower which they had built [the] children of humankind.
Men HERREN steg ned for at se Byen og Tårnet, som Menneskebørnene 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 han sagde: "Se, de er eet Folk og har alle eet Tungemål; og når de nu først er begyndt således, er intet, som de sætter sig for, umuligt for dem;
7 Give! let us go down and let us confuse there language their that not they will hear each [the] language of neighbor his.
lad os derfor stige ned og forvirre deres Tungemål der, så de ikke forstår hverandres Tungemål!"
8 And he scattered Yahweh them from there over [the] surface of all the earth and they ceased to build the city.
Da spredte HERREN dem fra det Sted ud over hele Jorden, og de opgav at bygge Byen.
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 den Babel, thi der forvirrede HERREN al Jordens Tungemål, og derfra spredte HERREN dem ud over hele Jorden.
