Genesis 11
1 erat autem terra labii unius et sermonum eorundem
And all the world was of one tonge and one language.
2 cumque proficiscerentur de oriente invenerunt campum in terra Sennaar et habitaverunt in eo
And as they came from the east they founde a playne in the lande of Synear and there they dwelled.
3 dixitque alter ad proximum suum venite faciamus lateres et coquamus eos igni habueruntque lateres pro saxis et bitumen pro cemento
And they sayd one to a nother: come on let us make brycke ad burne it wyth fyre. So brycke was there stone and slyme was there morter
4 et dixerunt venite faciamus nobis civitatem et turrem cuius culmen pertingat ad caelum et celebremus nomen nostrum antequam dividamur in universas terras
And they sayd: Come on let vs buylde vs a cyte and a toure that the toppe may reach vnto heauen. And let vs make us a name for perauenture we shall be scatered abrode over all the erth.
5 descendit autem Dominus ut videret civitatem et turrem quam aedificabant filii Adam
And the LORde came downe to see the cyte and the toure which the childern of Ada had buylded.
6 et dixit ecce unus est populus et unum labium omnibus coeperuntque hoc facere nec desistent a cogitationibus suis donec eas opere conpleant
And the LORde sayd: See the people is one and haue one tonge amonge them all. And thys haue they begon to do and wyll not leaue of from all that they haue purposed to do.
7 venite igitur descendamus et confundamus ibi linguam eorum ut non audiat unusquisque vocem proximi sui
Come on let vs descende and myngell theire tonge even there that one vnderstonde not what a nother sayeth.
8 atque ita divisit eos Dominus ex illo loco in universas terras et cessaverunt aedificare civitatem
Thus ye LORde skatered them from thence vppon all the erth. And they left of to buylde the cyte.
9 et idcirco vocatum est nomen eius Babel quia ibi confusum est labium universae terrae et inde dispersit eos Dominus super faciem cunctarum regionum
Wherfore the name of it is called Babell because that the LORDE there confounded the tonge of all the world. And because that the LORde from thence skatered them abrode vppon all the erth.
