創世記 11
1 全地は一の言語一の音のみなりき
The whole earth was of one language and of one speech.
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
As they traveled east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they lived there.
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
They said to one another, “Come, let’s make bricks, and burn them thoroughly.” They had brick for stone, and they used tar for mortar.
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
They said, “Come, let’s build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top reaches to the sky, and let’s make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad on the surface of 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
Adonai came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men built.
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
Adonai said, “Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language, and this is what they begin to do. Now nothing will be withheld from them, which they intend 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, let’s go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not sh'ma ·hear understand obey· one another’s speech.”
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 Adonai scattered them abroad from there on the surface of all the earth. They stopped building the city.
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 its name was called Babel [Confusion], because there Adonai confused the language of all the earth. From there, Adonai scattered them abroad on the surface of all the earth.
