1 Mosebog 11
1 Hele Menneskeheden havde eet Tungemål og samme Sprog.
And the whole earth had one language, and the same words.
2 Da de nu drog østerpå, traf de på en Dal i Sinear, og der slog de sig ned.
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 Da sagde de til hverandre: "Kom, lad os stryge Teglsten og brænde dem godt!" De brugte nemlig Tegl som Sten og Jordbeg som Kalk.
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 Derpå sagde de: "Kom, lad os bygge os en By og et Tårn, hvis Top når til Himmelen, og skabe os et Navn, for at vi ikke skal spredes ud over hele Jorden!"
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 Men HERREN steg ned for at se Byen og Tårnet, som Menneskebørnene byggede,
And Jehovah came down to see the city and the tower which the children of men built.
6 og han sagde: "Se, de er eet Folk og har alle eet Tungemål; og når de nu først er begyndt således, er intet, som de sætter sig for, umuligt for dem;
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 lad os derfor stige ned og forvirre deres Tungemål der, så de ikke forstår hverandres Tungemål!"
Come, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.
8 Da spredte HERREN dem fra det Sted ud over hele Jorden, og de opgav at bygge Byen.
And Jehovah scattered them thence over the face of the whole earth. And they left off building the city.
9 Derfor kaldte man den Babel, thi der forvirrede HERREN al Jordens Tungemål, og derfra spredte HERREN dem ud over hele Jorden.
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.
