< 創世記 11 >

2 茲に人衆東に移りてシナルの地に平野を得て其處に居住り
And as they went from the East, they found a plaine in the land of Shinar, and there they abode.
3 彼等互に言けるは去來甎石を作り之を善く爇んと遂に石の代に甎石を獲灰沙の代に石漆を獲たり
And they said one to another, Come, let vs make bricke, and burne it in the fire. So they had bricke for stone, and slime had they in steade of morter.
4 又曰けるは去來邑と塔とを建て其塔の頂を天にいたらしめん斯して我等名を揚て全地の表面に散ることを免れんと
Also they said, Goe to, let vs builde vs a citie and a towre, whose top may reache vnto the heauen, that we may get vs a name, lest we be scattered vpon the whole earth.
5 ヱホバ降臨りて彼人衆の建る邑と塔とを觀たまへり
But the Lord came downe, to see the citie and towre, which the sonnes of men builded.
6 ヱホバ言たまひけるは視よ民は一にして皆一の言語を用ふ今旣に此を爲し始めたり然ば凡て其爲んと圖維る事は禁止め得られざるべし
And the Lord said, Beholde, the people is one, and they all haue one language, and this they begin to doe, neither can they now be stopped from whatsoeuer they haue imagined to do.
7 去來我等降り彼處にて彼等の言語を淆し互に言語を通ずることを得ざらしめんと
Come on, let vs goe downe, and there confound their language, that euery one perceiue not anothers speache.
8 ヱホバ遂に彼等を彼處より全地の表面に散したまひければ彼等邑を建ることを罷たり
So ye Lord scattered them from thence vpon all the earth, and they left off to build the citie.
9 是故に其名はバベル(淆亂)と呼ばる是はヱホバ彼處に全地の言語を淆したまひしに由てなり彼處よりヱホバ彼等を全地の表に散したまへり
Therefore the name of it was called Babel, because the Lord did there confounde the language of all the earth: from thence then did the Lord scatter them vpon all the earth.
