創世記 11
1 全地は一の言語一の音のみなりき
And the whole earth had one language, and the same words.
2 茲に人衆東に移りてシナルの地に平野を得て其處に居住り
And it came to pass as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and dwelt there.
3 彼等互に言けるは去來甎石を作り之を善く爇んと遂に石の代に甎石を獲灰沙の代に石漆を獲たり
And they said one to another, Come on, let us make bricks, and burn [them] thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and they had asphalt for mortar.
4 又曰けるは去來邑と塔とを建て其塔の頂を天にいたらしめん斯して我等名を揚て全地の表面に散ることを免れんと
And they said, Come on, let us build ourselves a city and a tower, the top of which [may reach] to the heavens; and let us make ourselves a name, lest we be scattered over the face of the whole earth.
5 ヱホバ降臨りて彼人衆の建る邑と塔とを觀たまへり
And Jehovah came down to see the city and the tower which the children of men built.
6 ヱホバ言たまひけるは視よ民は一にして皆一の言語を用ふ今既に此を爲し始めたり然ば凡て其爲んと圖維る事は禁止め得られざるべし
And Jehovah said, Behold, the people is one, and have all one language; and this have they begun to do. And now will they be hindered in nothing that they meditate doing.
7 去來我等降り彼處にて彼等の言語を淆し互に言語を通ずることを得ざらしめんと
Come, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.
8 ヱホバ遂に彼等を彼處より全地の表面に散したまひければ彼等邑を建ることを罷たり
And Jehovah scattered them thence over the face of the whole earth. And they left off building the city.
9 是故に其名はバベル(淆亂)と呼ばる是はヱホバ彼處に全地の言語を淆したまひしに由てなり彼處よりヱホバ彼等を全地の表に散したまへり
Therefore was its name called Babel; because Jehovah there confounded the language of the whole earth. And Jehovah scattered them thence over the face of the whole earth.
