Genesis 11
1 Erat autem terra labii unius, et sermonum eorumdem.
Then the whole earth was of one language and one speache.
2 Cumque proficiscerentur de oriente, invenerunt campum in terra Sennaar, et habitaverunt in eo.
And as they went from the East, they found a plaine in the land of Shinar, and there they abode.
3 Dixitque alter ad proximum suum: Venite, faciamus lateres, et coquamus eos igni. Habueruntque lateres pro saxis, et bitumen pro cæmento:
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 et dixerunt: Venite, faciamus nobis civitatem et turrim, cujus culmen pertingat ad cælum: et celebremus nomen nostrum antequam dividamur in universas terras.
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 Descendit autem Dominus ut videret civitatem et turrim, quam ædificabant filii Adam,
But the Lord came downe, to see the citie and towre, which the sonnes of men builded.
6 et dixit: Ecce, unus est populus, et unum labium omnibus: cœperuntque hoc facere, nec desistent a cogitationibus suis, donec eas opere compleant.
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 Venite igitur, descendamus, et confundamus ibi linguam eorum, ut non audiat unusquisque vocem proximi sui.
Come on, let vs goe downe, and there confound their language, that euery one perceiue not anothers speache.
8 Atque ita divisit eos Dominus ex illo loco in universas terras, et cessaverunt ædificare civitatem.
So ye Lord scattered them from thence vpon all the earth, and they left off to build the citie.
9 Et idcirco vocatum est nomen ejus Babel, quia ibi confusum est labium universæ terræ: et inde dispersit eos Dominus super faciem cunctarum regionum.
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.
