Genesis 11
1 Erat autem terra labii unius, et sermonum eorumdem.
And the whole earth is of one pronunciation, and of the same words,
2 Cumque proficiscerentur de oriente, invenerunt campum in terra Sennaar, et habitaverunt in eo.
and it cometh to pass, in their journeying from the east, that they find a valley in the land of Shinar, and dwell there;
3 Dixitque alter ad proximum suum: Venite, faciamus lateres, et coquamus eos igni. Habueruntque lateres pro saxis, et bitumen pro caemento:
and they say each one to his neighbour, 'Give help, let us make bricks, and burn [them] thoroughly:' and the brick is to them for stone, and the bitumen hath been to them for mortar.
4 et dixerunt: Venite, faciamus nobis civitatem et turrim, cuius culmen pertingat ad caelum: et celebremus nomen nostrum antequam dividamur in universas terras.
And they say, 'Give help, let us build for ourselves a city and tower, and its head in the heavens, and make for ourselves a name, lest we be scattered over the face of all the earth.'
5 Descendit autem Dominus ut videret civitatem et turrim, quam aedificabant filii Adam,
And Jehovah cometh down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men have builded;
6 et dixit: Ecce, unus est populus, et unum est labium omnibus: coeperuntque hoc facere, nec desistent a cogitationibus suis, donec eas opere compleant.
and Jehovah saith, 'Lo, the people [is] one, and one pronunciation [is] to them all, and this it hath dreamed of doing; and now, nothing is restrained from them of that which they have purposed to do.
7 Venite igitur, descendamus, et confundamus ibi linguam eorum, ut non audiat unusquisque vocem proximi sui.
Give help, let us go down, and mingle there their pronunciation, so that a man doth not understand the pronunciation of his companion.'
8 Atque ita divisit eos Dominus ex illo loco in universas terras, et cessaverunt aedificare civitatem.
And Jehovah doth scatter them from thence over the face of all the earth, and they cease to build the city;
9 Et idcirco vocatum est nomen eius Babel, quia ibi confusum est labium universae terrae: et inde dispersit eos Dominus super faciem cunctarum regionum.
therefore hath [one] called its name Babel, for there hath Jehovah mingled the pronunciation of all the earth, and from thence hath Jehovah scattered them over the face of all the earth.
