< Gênesis 11 >

1 E era toda a terra de uma mesma língua, e de uma mesma fala.
Now the whole earth used one language and had the same words.
2 E aconteceu que, partindo eles do Oriente, acharam um vale na terra de Shinar; e habitaram ali.
As they journeyed in the east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and they settled there.
3 E disseram uns aos outros: Eia, façamos tijolos, e queimê-mo-los bem. E foi-lhes o tijolo por pedra, e o betume por cal.
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 E disseram: Eia, edifiquemos nós uma cidade e uma torre cujo cume toque nos céus, e façamo-nos um nome, para que não sejamos espalhados sobre a face de toda a terra.
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 Então desceu o Senhor para ver a cidade e a torre que os filhos dos homens edificavam;
So Yahweh came down to see the city and the tower which the descendants of Adam had built.
6 E disse. Eis que o povo é um, e todos tem uma mesma língua; e isto é o que começam a fazer: e agora, não haverá restrição para tudo o que eles intentarem fazer?
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 Eia, desçamos, e confundamos ali a sua língua, para que não entenda um a língua do outro.
Come, let us go down and confuse their language there, so that they may not understand each other.”
8 Assim o Senhor os espalhou dali sobre a face de toda a terra: e cessaram de edificar a cidade.
So Yahweh scattered them from there across the surface of all the earth and they stopped building the city.
9 Por isso se chamou o seu nome Babel, porquanto ali confundiu o Senhor a língua de toda a terra, e dali os espalhou o Senhor sobre a face de toda a terra.
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.
