Postanak 11
1 Sva je zemlja imala jedan jezik i riječi iste.
The whole earth was of one language and of one speech.
2 Ali kako su se ljudi selili s istoka, naiđu na jednu dolinu u zemlji Šinearu i tu se nastane.
As they traveled east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they lived there.
3 Jedan drugome reče: “Hajdemo praviti opeke te ih peći da otvrdnu!” Opeke im bile mjesto kamena, a paklina im služila za žbuku.
They said to one another, “Come, let’s make bricks, and burn them thoroughly.” They had brick for stone, and they used tar for mortar.
4 Onda rekoše: “Hajde da sebi podignemo grad i toranj s vrhom do neba! Pribavimo sebi ime, da se ne raspršimo po svoj zemlji!”
They said, “Come, let’s build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top reaches to the sky, and let’s make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad on the surface of the whole earth.”
5 Jahve se spusti da vidi grad i toranj što su ga gradili sinovi čovječji.
Yahweh came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men built.
6 Jahve reče. “Zbilja su jedan narod, s jednim jezikom za sve! Ovo je tek početak njihovih nastojanja. Sad im ništa neće biti neostvarivo što god naume izvesti.
Yahweh said, “Behold, they are one people, and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do. Now nothing will be withheld from them, which they intend to do.
7 Hajde da siđemo i jezik im pobrkamo, da jedan drugome govora ne razumije.”
Come, let’s go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.”
8 Tako ih Jahve rasu odande po svoj zemlji te ne sazidaše grada.
So Yahweh scattered them abroad from there on the surface of all the earth. They stopped building the city.
9 Stoga mu je ime Babel, jer je ondje Jahve pobrkao govor svima u onom kraju i odande ih je Jahve raspršio po svoj zemlji.
Therefore its name was called Babel, because there Yahweh confused the language of all the earth. From there, Yahweh scattered them abroad on the surface of all the earth.
