Genesi 11
1 OR tutta la terra era d'una favella e di un linguaggio.
Now the whole earth used one language and had the same words.
2 Ed avvenne che, partendosi gli uomini di Oriente, trovarono una pianura nel paese di Sinear, e quivi si posarono.
As they journeyed in the east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and they settled there.
3 E dissero l'uno all'altro: Or su, facciamo de' mattoni, e cociamoli col fuoco. I mattoni adunque furono loro in vece di pietre, e il bitume in vece di malta.
They said to one another, “Come, let us make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” They had brick instead of stone and tar as mortar.
4 Poi dissero: Or su, edifichiamoci una città, ed una torre, la cui sommità [giunga] fino al cielo, ed acquistiamoci fama; che talora noi non siamo dispersi sopra la faccia di tutta la terra.
They said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower whose top will reach to the sky, and let us make a name for ourselves. If we do not, we will be scattered across the surface of the whole earth.”
5 E il Signore discese, per veder la città e la torre che i figliuoli degli uomini edificavano.
So Yahweh came down to see the city and the tower which the descendants of Adam had built.
6 E il Signore disse: Ecco un medesimo popolo, ed [essi] tutti hanno un medesimo linguaggio, e questo [è] il cominciamento del lor lavoro, ed ora tutto ciò che hanno disegnato di fare, non sarà loro divietato.
Yahweh said, “Look, they are one people with the same language, and they are beginning to do this! Soon nothing that they intend to do will be impossible for them.
7 Or su, scendiamo e confondiamo ivi la lor favella; acciocchè l'uno non intenda la favella dell'altro.
Come, let us go down and confuse their language there, so that they may not understand each other.”
8 E il Signore li disperse di là sopra la faccia di tutta la terra; ed essi cessarono di edificar la città.
So Yahweh scattered them from there across the surface of all the earth and they stopped building the city.
9 Perciò essa fu nominata Babilonia; perciocchè il Signore confuse quivi la favella di tutta la terra, e disperse coloro di là sopra la faccia di tutta la terra.
Therefore, its name was called Babel, because there Yahweh confused the language of the whole earth and from there Yahweh scattered them abroad over the surface of all the earth.
