1 Mose 11
1 Es hatte aber alle Welt einerlei Zunge und Sprache.
The whole earth was of one language and of one speech.
2 Da sie nun zogen gen Morgen, fanden sie ein eben Land im Lande Sinear und wohneten daselbst,
It happened, as they traveled from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they settled there.
3 und sprachen untereinander: Wohlauf, laßt uns Ziegel streichen und brennen! Und nahmen Ziegel zu Stein und Ton zu Kalk
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.
4 und sprachen: Wohlauf, laßt uns eine Stadt und Turm bauen, des Spitze bis an den Himmel reiche, daß wir uns einen Namen machen; denn wir werden vielleicht zerstreuet in alle Länder.
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."
5 Da fuhr der HERR hernieder, daß er sähe die Stadt und Turm, die die Menschenkinder baueten.
And God came down to see the city and the tower, that humankind was building.
6 Und der HERR sprach: Siehe, es ist einerlei Volk und einerlei Sprache unter ihnen allen, und haben das angefangen zu tun; sie werden nicht ablassen von allem, das sie vorgenommen haben zu tun.
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.
7 Wohlauf, laßt uns herniederfahren und ihre Sprache daselbst verwirren, daß keiner des andern Sprache vernehme.
Come, let us go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another's speech."
8 Also zerstreuete sie der HERR von dannen in alle Länder, daß sie mußten aufhören, die Stadt zu bauen.
Then God scattered them abroad from there on the surface of all the earth; so they ceased building the city.
9 Daher heißt ihr Name Babel, daß der HERR daselbst verwirret hatte aller Länder Sprache und sie zerstreuet von dannen in alle Länder.
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.
