Genesis 11
1 So it came to pass that, all the earth, was of one manner of speech, —and of one stock of words.
Sva je zemlja imala jedan jezik i riječi iste.
2 And it came to pass as they brake away onwards, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and dwelt there.
Ali kako su se ljudi selili s istoka, naiđu na jednu dolinu u zemlji Šinearu i tu se nastane.
3 Then said they, each man to his friend, Come on! let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly, —So the bricks, served them for stone, and bitumen, served them for mortar,
Jedan drugome reče: “Hajdemo praviti opeke te ih peći da otvrdnu!” Opeke im bile mjesto kamena, a paklina im služila za žbuku.
4 And they said Come on! let us build for ourselves a city, and a tower with its head in the heavens, so let us make for ourselves a name, —lest we be scattered abroad over the face of all the earth.
Onda rekoše: “Hajde da sebi podignemo grad i toranj s vrhom do neba! Pribavimo sebi ime, da se ne raspršimo po svoj zemlji!”
5 And Yahweh came down, to behold the city, and the tower, —which the sons of men had built.
Jahve se spusti da vidi grad i toranj što su ga gradili sinovi čovječji.
6 Then said Yahweh: Lo! one people and one manner of speech, have they all, this, then is what they have begun to do, —now, therefore, nothing will be withholden from them which they may plan to do.
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.
7 Come on! let us go down, and there confuse their speech, —that they may not understand, each man the speech of his friend.
Hajde da siđemo i jezik im pobrkamo, da jedan drugome govora ne razumije.”
8 So Yahweh scattered them from thence over the face of all the earth, —and so they left off building the city.
Tako ih Jahve rasu odande po svoj zemlji te ne sazidaše grada.
9 For this cause, was the name thereof called Babel ["Confusion"]; because there, did Yahweh confuse the speech of all the earth, —and, from thence, did Yahweh scatter them abroad, over the face of all the earth.
Stoga mu je ime Babel, jer je ondje Jahve pobrkao govor svima u onom kraju i odande ih je Jahve raspršio po svoj zemlji.
