Genesis 11
1 At first, all the people in [MTY] the world spoke the same language [DOU].
A Terra inteira era de uma língua e de um discurso.
2 As people moved further east, they arrived at a plain in Babylonia region and began to live there.
Ao viajarem para o leste, encontraram uma planície na terra de Shinar, e ali viveram.
3 Then they said to each other, “(Hey/Come on), let’s form bricks and bake them to make them hard, for building!” So they used bricks instead of stones, and used tar instead of (mortar/a mixture of cement, sand and lime) to hold them together.
Disseram um ao outro: “Venham, vamos fazer tijolos, e queimá-los completamente”. Eles tinham tijolos para pedra, e usavam alcatrão para argamassa.
4 They said, “Hey, let’s build a city for ourselves! We also ought to build a very high tower that reaches up to the sky! In that way we will become famous! If we do not do this, we will be scattered all over the earth!”
Eles disseram: “Venham, vamos construir uma cidade, e uma torre cujo topo alcança o céu, e vamos fazer um nome para nós mesmos, para que não fiquemos espalhados no exterior sobre a superfície de toda a terra”.
5 So they began to build the city and the tower. Then Yahweh looked down and saw the city and the tower that those [puny] men were building.
Yahweh desceu para ver a cidade e a torre, que os filhos dos homens construíram.
6 Yahweh said, “These people are one group that all speak the same language. If they have begun to do this now, then (there is nothing that they will decide to do that will be impossible for them/they will be able to do whatever they decide to do) [LIT]!
Yahweh disse: “Eis que eles são um só povo, e todos eles têm uma só língua, e é isso que eles começam a fazer. Agora nada lhes será negado, o que pretendem fazer”.
7 So, okay/now, we will go down there and cause there to be many different languages, so that they will not be able to understand each other.”
Venha, vamos descer, e aí confundir a língua deles, para que não entendam o discurso uns dos outros”.
8 So Yahweh did that. As a result, the people stopped building the city, and Yahweh caused them to disperse all over the earth.
Então Yahweh os espalhou dali para o exterior sobre a superfície de toda a terra. Eles pararam de construir a cidade.
9 The city was called Babel which means ‘confusion’, because there Yahweh caused the people to become confused because the people [MTY] spoke [different languages that the others could not understand], not just one language. From there Yahweh caused them to disperse all over the earth.
Portanto, seu nome foi chamado Babel, porque ali Javé confundiu a linguagem de toda a terra. De lá, Javé os espalhou para o exterior na superfície de toda a terra.
