Genesi 11
1 OR tutta la terra era d'una favella e di un linguaggio.
The whole earth was of one language and of one speech.
2 Ed avvenne che, partendosi gli uomini di Oriente, trovarono una pianura nel paese di Sinear, e quivi si posarono.
It happened, as they traveled from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they settled there.
3 E dissero l'uno all'altro: Or su, facciamo de' mattoni, e cociamoli col fuoco. I mattoni adunque furono loro in vece di pietre, e il bitume in vece di malta.
And they said to one another, "Come, let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly." They had brick for stone, and they used tar for mortar.
4 Poi dissero: Or su, edifichiamoci una città, ed una torre, la cui sommità [giunga] fino al cielo, ed acquistiamoci fama; che talora noi non siamo dispersi sopra la faccia di tutta la terra.
They said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top reaches to the sky, and let us make ourselves a name, lest we be scattered abroad on the surface of the whole earth."
5 E il Signore discese, per veder la città e la torre che i figliuoli degli uomini edificavano.
Jehovah came down to see the city and the tower, that humankind was building.
6 E il Signore disse: Ecco un medesimo popolo, ed [essi] tutti hanno un medesimo linguaggio, e questo [è] il cominciamento del lor lavoro, ed ora tutto ciò che hanno disegnato di fare, non sarà loro divietato.
Jehovah said, "Look, they are one people, and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do. So now nothing which they plan to do will be too difficult for them.
7 Or su, scendiamo e confondiamo ivi la lor favella; acciocchè l'uno non intenda la favella dell'altro.
Come, let us go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another's speech."
8 E il Signore li disperse di là sopra la faccia di tutta la terra; ed essi cessarono di edificar la città.
Then God scattered them abroad from there on the surface of all the earth; so they ceased building the city.
9 Perciò essa fu nominata Babilonia; perciocchè il Signore confuse quivi la favella di tutta la terra, e disperse coloro di là sopra la faccia di tutta la terra.
Therefore its name was called Babel, because there God confused the language of all the earth. From there he scattered them over the face of the whole earth.
