And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
And it came to pass as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar. And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower which the children of men builded. And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.
So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.
Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the Lord did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the Lord scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.—Genesis xi, 1-9.
【创11:1】 那时，天下人的口音，言语，都是一样。
Now the whole world had one language and a common speech.
【创11:2】 他们往东边迁移的时候，在示拿地遇见一片平原，就住在那里。
As men moved eastward, they found a plain in Shinar and settled there.
【创11:3】 他们彼此商量说，来吧，我们要作砖，把砖烧透了。他们就拿砖当石头，又拿石漆当灰泥。
They said to each other, 'Come, let's make bricks and bake them thoroughly.' They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar.
【创11:4】 他们说，来吧，我们要建造一座城和一座塔，塔顶通天，为要传扬我们的名，免得我们分散在全地上。
Then they said, 'Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves and not be scattered over the face of the whole earth.'
【创11:5】 耶和华降临，要看看世人所建造的城和塔。
But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower that the men were building.
【创11:6】 耶和华说，看哪，他们成为一样的人民，都是一样的言语，如今既作起这事来，以后他们所要作的事就没有不成就的了。
The Lord said, 'If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them.
【创11:7】 我们下去，在那里变乱他们的口音，使他们的言语彼此不通。
Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.'
【创11:8】 于是，耶和华使他们从那里分散在全地上。他们就停工，不造那城了。
So the Lord scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city.
【创11:9】 因为耶和华在那里变乱天下人的言语，使众人分散在全地上，所以那城名叫巴别（就是变乱的意思）。
That is why it was called Babel -because there the Lord confused the language of the whole world. From there the Lord scattered them over the face of the whole earth.
