< Gênesis 11 >

1 Era, então, toda a terra de uma língua e umas mesmas palavras.
The whole earth was of one language and of one speech.
2 E aconteceu que, quando se partiram do oriente, acharam um vale na terra de Sinear; e ali passaram a habitar.
As they traveled east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they lived there.
3 E disseram uns aos outros: Vinde, façamos tijolos e o cozamos com fogo. E foi-lhes os tijolos em lugar de pedra, e o betume em lugar de argamassa.
They said to one another, “Come, let’s make bricks, and burn them thoroughly.” They had brick for stone, and they used tar for mortar.
4 E disseram: Vamos, edifiquemo-nos uma cidade e uma torre, cuja ponta chegue ao céu; e façamo-nos um nome, para que não sejamos espalhados sobre a face de toda a terra.
They said, “Come, let’s build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top reaches to the sky, and let’s make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad on the surface of the whole earth.”
5 E desceu o SENHOR para ver a cidade e a torre que edificavam os filhos dos homens.
The LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men built.
6 E disse o SENHOR: Eis que o povo é um, e todos estes têm uma língua; e começaram a agir, e nada lhes restringirá agora do que pensaram fazer.
The LORD said, “Behold, they are one people, and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do. Now nothing will be withheld from them, which they intend to do.
7 Agora, pois, desçamos, e confundamos ali suas línguas, para que ninguém entenda a fala de seu companheiro.
Come, let’s go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.”
8 Assim os espalhou o SENHOR desde ali sobre a face de toda a terra, e deixaram de edificar a cidade.
So the LORD scattered them abroad from there on the surface of all the earth. They stopped building the city.
9 Por isto foi chamado o nome dela Babel, porque ali confundiu o SENHOR a língua de toda a terra, e desde ali os espalhou sobre a face de toda a terra.
Therefore its name was called Babel, because there the LORD confused the language of all the earth. From there, the LORD scattered them abroad on the surface of all the earth.
