1 Mosebok 11
1 Og heile verdi hadde eitt tungemål og same ordi.
Now the whole earth used one language and had the same words.
2 Og det bar so til, då dei for austigjenom, at dei fann ei slette i Sinearlandet, og der slo dei seg ned.
As they journeyed in the east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and they settled there.
3 Og dei sagde seg imillom: «Kom, lat oss gjera tigl og brenna det vel!» Og so bruka dei tiglet til murstein, og i staden for kalk bruka dei jordbik.
They said to one another, “Come, let us make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” They had brick instead of stone and tar as mortar.
4 So sagde dei: «Kom, lat oss byggja oss ein by, med eit tårn som når upp i himmelen, og gjera oss namngjetne, so me ikkje vert spreidde utyver all jordi!»
They said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower whose top will reach to the sky, and let us make a name for ourselves. If we do not, we will be scattered across the surface of the whole earth.”
5 Då steig Herren ned og vilde sjå byen og tårnet som manneborni bygde.
So Yahweh came down to see the city and the tower which the descendants of Adam had built.
6 Og Herren sagde: «Sjå dei er eitt folk, og alle hev dei eit tungemål, og dette er det fyrste dei tek seg fyre! No vert ikkje noko umogelegt for deim, kva dei so finn på å gjera.
Yahweh said, “Look, they are one people with the same language, and they are beginning to do this! Soon nothing that they intend to do will be impossible for them.
7 Lat oss då stiga ned der og vildra målet deira, so den eine ikkje skynar kva den andre segjer.»
Come, let us go down and confuse their language there, so that they may not understand each other.”
8 So spreidde Herren deim derifrå ut yver heile jordi, og dei heldt upp å byggja på byen.
So Yahweh scattered them from there across the surface of all the earth and they stopped building the city.
9 Difor kallar dei den byen Babel; for der vildra Herren målet for heile verdi, og derifrå spreidde Herren deim ut yver all jordi.
Therefore, its name was called Babel, because there Yahweh confused the language of the whole earth and from there Yahweh scattered them abroad over the surface of all the earth.
