旧约 -- 创世记(Genesis) -- 第11章
11:1 那时,天下人的口音,言语,都是一样。
And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
11:2 他们往东边迁移的时候,在示拿地遇见一片平原,就住在那里。
And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.
11:3 他们彼此商量说,来吧,我们要作砖,把砖烧透了。他们就拿砖当石头,又拿石漆当灰泥。
And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter.
11:4 他们说,来吧,我们要建造一座城和一座塔,塔顶通天,为要传扬我们的名,免得我们分散在全地上。
And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
11:5 耶和华降临,要看看世人所建造的城和塔。
And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
11:6 耶和华说,看哪,他们成为一样的人民,都是一样的言语,如今既作起这事来,以后他们所要作的事就没有不成就的了。
And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
11:7 我们下去,在那里变乱他们的口音,使他们的言语彼此不通。
Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.
11:8 于是,耶和华使他们从那里分散在全地上。他们就停工,不造那城了。
So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.
11:9 因为耶和华在那里变乱天下人的言语,使众人分散在全地上,所以那城名叫巴别(就是变乱的意思)。
Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
