Kejadian 11
1 Semula, bangsa-bangsa di seluruh dunia hanya mempunyai satu bahasa dan mereka memakai kata-kata yang sama.
And all the earth was one lip, and there was one language to all.
2 Ketika mereka mengembara ke sebelah timur, sampailah mereka di sebuah dataran di Babilonia, lalu menetap di sana.
And it came to pass as they moved from the east, they found a plain in the land of Senaar, and they lived there.
3 Mereka berkata seorang kepada yang lain, "Ayo kita membuat batu bata dan membakarnya sampai keras." Demikianlah mereka mempunyai batu bata untuk batu rumah dan ter untuk bahan perekatnya.
And a man said to his neighbor, Come, let us make bricks and bake them with fire. And the brick was to them for stone, and their mortar was bitumen.
4 Kata mereka, "Mari kita mendirikan kota dengan sebuah menara yang puncaknya sampai ke langit, supaya kita termasyhur dan tidak tercerai berai di seluruh bumi."
And they said, Come, let us build to ourselves a city and tower, whose top shall be to heaven, and let us make to ourselves a name, before we are scattered abroad upon the face of all the earth.
5 Maka turunlah TUHAN untuk melihat kota dan menara yang didirikan oleh manusia.
And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the sons of men built.
6 Lalu Ia berkata, "Mereka ini satu bangsa dengan satu bahasa, dan ini baru permulaan dari rencana-rencana mereka. Tak lama lagi mereka akan sanggup melakukan apa saja yang mereka kehendaki.
And the Lord said, Behold, [there is] one race, and one lip of all, and they have begun to do this, and now nothing shall fail from them of all that they may have undertaken to do.
7 Sebaiknya Kita turun dan mengacaukan bahasa mereka supaya mereka tidak mengerti lagi satu sama lain."
Come, and having gone down let us there confound their tongue, that they may not understand each the voice of his neighbor.
8 Demikianlah TUHAN menceraiberaikan mereka ke seluruh bumi. Lalu berhentilah mereka mendirikan kota itu.
And the Lord scattered them thence over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city and the tower.
9 Sebab itu kota itu diberi nama Babel, karena di situ TUHAN mengacaukan bahasa semua bangsa, dan dari situ mereka diceraiberaikan oleh TUHAN ke seluruh bumi.
On this account its name was called Confusion, because there the Lord confounded the languages of all the earth, and thence the Lord scattered them upon the face of all the earth.
