Genesis 11
1 erat autem terra labii unius et sermonum eorundem
And the whole earth is of one pronunciation, and of the same words,
2 cumque proficiscerentur de oriente invenerunt campum in terra Sennaar et habitaverunt in eo
and it cometh to pass, in their journeying from the east, that they find a valley in the land of Shinar, and dwell there;
3 dixitque alter ad proximum suum venite faciamus lateres et coquamus eos igni habueruntque lateres pro saxis et bitumen pro cemento
and they say each one to his neighbour, 'Give help, let us make bricks, and burn [them] thoroughly:' and the brick is to them for stone, and the bitumen hath been to them for mortar.
4 et dixerunt venite faciamus nobis civitatem et turrem cuius culmen pertingat ad caelum et celebremus nomen nostrum antequam dividamur in universas terras
And they say, 'Give help, let us build for ourselves a city and tower, and its head in the heavens, and make for ourselves a name, lest we be scattered over the face of all the earth.'
5 descendit autem Dominus ut videret civitatem et turrem quam aedificabant filii Adam
And Jehovah cometh down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men have builded;
6 et dixit ecce unus est populus et unum labium omnibus coeperuntque hoc facere nec desistent a cogitationibus suis donec eas opere conpleant
and Jehovah saith, 'Lo, the people [is] one, and one pronunciation [is] to them all, and this it hath dreamed of doing; and now, nothing is restrained from them of that which they have purposed to do.
7 venite igitur descendamus et confundamus ibi linguam eorum ut non audiat unusquisque vocem proximi sui
Give help, let us go down, and mingle there their pronunciation, so that a man doth not understand the pronunciation of his companion.'
8 atque ita divisit eos Dominus ex illo loco in universas terras et cessaverunt aedificare civitatem
And Jehovah doth scatter them from thence over the face of all the earth, and they cease to build the city;
9 et idcirco vocatum est nomen eius Babel quia ibi confusum est labium universae terrae et inde dispersit eos Dominus super faciem cunctarum regionum
therefore hath [one] called its name Babel, for there hath Jehovah mingled the pronunciation of all the earth, and from thence hath Jehovah scattered them over the face of all the earth.
