At that time the whole world spoke just one language and used words with the same meaning.
As they moved east they discovered a plain in the land of Shinar so they settled there.
3 ३ ते एकमेकांना म्हणाले, “चला, आपण विटा करू व त्या पक्क्या भाजू.” त्यांच्याकडे बांधकामासाठी दगडाऐवजी विटा आणि चुन्याऐवजी डांबर होते.
They said to one another, “Come on, let's make some bricks and bake them with fire.” (They used brick instead of stone, and tar instead of cement).
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.”
Then they said, “Now let's build a city for ourselves with a tower whose top reaches the heavens. That way we'll gain a great reputation and we won't end up being scattered all over the world.”
But the Lord came down to take a look at the city and the tower that the people were building.

The Lord said, “Look! These people are united and they all speak one language. If this is what they can do now when they're just getting started, nothing will be impossible for them when they all put their minds to it!
We need to go down and mix up their language and make it confused so they won't be able to understand what they're saying to one other.”
The Lord sent them away from there and scattered them all over the world, and they gave up 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's why it was called Babel, because the Lord made the language of the world confused.
