創世記 11
1 全地は同じ発音、同じ言葉であった。
The whole earth was of one language and of one speech.
2 時に人々は東に移り、シナルの地に平野を得て、そこに住んだ。
It happened, as they traveled from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they settled there.
3 彼らは互に言った、「さあ、れんがを造って、よく焼こう」。こうして彼らは石の代りに、れんがを得、しっくいの代りに、アスファルトを得た。
And they said to one another, "Come, let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly." They had brick for stone, and they used tar for mortar.
4 彼らはまた言った、「さあ、町と塔とを建てて、その頂を天に届かせよう。そしてわれわれは名を上げて、全地のおもてに散るのを免れよう」。
They said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top reaches to the sky, and let us make ourselves a name, lest we be scattered abroad on the surface of the whole earth."
5 時に主は下って、人の子たちの建てる町と塔とを見て、
The LORD came down to see the city and the tower, that humankind was building.
6 言われた、「民は一つで、みな同じ言葉である。彼らはすでにこの事をしはじめた。彼らがしようとする事は、もはや何事もとどめ得ないであろう。
The LORD said, "Look, they are one people, and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do. So now nothing which they plan to do will be too difficult for them.
7 さあ、われわれは下って行って、そこで彼らの言葉を乱し、互に言葉が通じないようにしよう」。
Come, let us go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another's speech."
8 こうして主が彼らをそこから全地のおもてに散らされたので、彼らは町を建てるのをやめた。
Then God scattered them abroad from there on the surface of all the earth; so they ceased building the city.
9 これによってその町の名はバベルと呼ばれた。主がそこで全地の言葉を乱されたからである。主はそこから彼らを全地のおもてに散らされた。
Therefore its name was called Babel, because there God confused the language of all the earth. From there he scattered them over the face of the whole earth.
