उत्पत्ति 11
Now the whole world had one language and a common form of speech.
And as people journeyed eastward, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there.
3 ३ ते एकमेकांना म्हणाले, “चला, आपण विटा करू व त्या पक्क्या भाजू.” त्यांच्याकडे बांधकामासाठी दगडाऐवजी विटा आणि चुन्याऐवजी डांबर होते.
And they said to one another, “Come, let us make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” So they used brick instead of stone, and tar instead of mortar.
4 ४ मग लोक म्हणाले, “चला, आपण आपल्यासाठी नगर बांधू आणि ज्याचे शिखर आकाशापर्यंत पोहचेल असा उंच बुरूज बांधू, आणि आपण आपले नाव होईल असे करू या. आपण जर असे केले नाही, तर पृथ्वीच्या पाठीवर आपली पांगापांग होईल.”
“Come,” they said, “let us build for ourselves a city with a tower that reaches to the heavens, that we may make a name for ourselves and not be scattered over the face of all the earth.”
Then the LORD came down to see the city and the tower that the sons of men were building.
6 ६ परमेश्वर देव म्हणाला, “पाहा, हे सर्व लोक एक असून, एकच भाषा बोलतात आणि ही तर त्यांची सुरुवात आहे! लवकरच, जे काही करण्याचा त्यांचा हेतू आहे ते करणे त्यांना मुळीच अशक्य होणार नाही.
And the LORD said, “If they have begun to do this as one people speaking the same language, then nothing they devise will be beyond them.
Come, let Us go down and confuse their language, so that they will not understand one another’s speech.”
So the LORD scattered them from there over the face of all the earth, and they stopped building the city.
9 ९ त्यामुळे त्या ठिकाणाचे नाव बाबेल पडले, कारण तेथे परमेश्वराने सर्व पृथ्वीच्या भाषेचा घोटाळा केला आणि परमेश्वराने त्यांना तेथून सर्व पृथ्वीच्या पाठीवर पांगविले.
That is why it is called Babel, for there the LORD confused the language of the whole world, and from that place the LORD scattered them over the face of all the earth.
