Genesis 11
1 And it was all the earth language one and words one.
Forsothe the lond was of o langage, and of the same speche.
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.
And whanne thei yeden forth fro the eest, thei fonden a feeld in the lond of Sennaar, and dwelliden ther ynne.
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.
And oon seide to his neiybore, Come ye, and make we tiel stonys, and bake we tho with fier; and thei hadden tiel for stonus, and pitche for morter;
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.
and seiden, Come ye, and make we to vs a citee and tour, whos hiynesse stretche `til to heuene; and make we solempne oure name bifor that we be departid in to alle londis.
5 And he came down Yahweh to see the city and the tower which they had built [the] children of humankind.
Forsothe the Lord cam down to se the citee and tour, which the sones of Adam bildiden.
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.
And he seide, Lo! the puple is oon, and o langage is to alle, and thei han bigunne to make this, nethir thei schulen ceesse of her thouytis, til thei fillen tho in werk; therfor come ye, go we doun,
7 Give! let us go down and let us confuse there language their that not they will hear each [the] language of neighbor his.
and scheende we there the tunge of hem, that ech man here not the voys of his neiybore.
8 And he scattered Yahweh them from there over [the] surface of all the earth and they ceased to build the city.
And so the Lord departide hem fro that place in to alle londis; and thei cessiden to bielde a cytee.
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.
And therfor the name therof was clepid Babel, for the langage of al erthe was confoundide there; and fro thennus the Lord scaterede hem on the face of alle cuntrees.
