Gênesis 11
1 Era, então, toda a terra de uma língua e umas mesmas palavras.
Now the whole world had one language and a common form of speech.
2 E aconteceu que, quando se partiram do oriente, acharam um vale na terra de Sinear; e ali passaram a habitar.
And as people journeyed eastward, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there.
3 E disseram uns aos outros: Vinde, façamos tijolos e o cozamos com fogo. E foi-lhes os tijolos em lugar de pedra, e o betume em lugar de argamassa.
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 E disseram: Vamos, edifiquemo-nos uma cidade e uma torre, cuja ponta chegue ao céu; e façamo-nos um nome, para que não sejamos espalhados sobre a face de toda a terra.
“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.”
5 E desceu o SENHOR para ver a cidade e a torre que edificavam os filhos dos homens.
Then the LORD came down to see the city and the tower that the sons of men were building.
6 E disse o SENHOR: Eis que o povo é um, e todos estes têm uma língua; e começaram a agir, e nada lhes restringirá agora do que pensaram fazer.
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.
7 Agora, pois, desçamos, e confundamos ali suas línguas, para que ninguém entenda a fala de seu companheiro.
Come, let Us go down and confuse their language, so that they will not understand one another’s speech.”
8 Assim os espalhou o SENHOR desde ali sobre a face de toda a terra, e deixaram de edificar a cidade.
So the LORD scattered them from there over the face of all the earth, and they stopped building the city.
9 Por isto foi chamado o nome dela Babel, porque ali confundiu o SENHOR a língua de toda a terra, e desde ali os espalhou sobre a face de toda a terra.
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.
