3 D isseram uns aos outros: Eia pois, façamos tijolos, e queimemo-los bem. Os tijolos lhes serviram de pedras e o betume 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 D isseram mais: Eia, edifiquemos para nós uma cidade e uma torre cujo cume toque no 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 ntão desceu o Senhor para ver a cidade e a torre que os filhos dos homens edificavam;

Yahweh came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men built.

6 e disse: Eis que o povo é um e todos têm uma só língua; e isto é o que começam a fazer; agora não haverá restrição para tudo o que eles intentarem fazer.

Yahweh said, “Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language, and this is what they begin to do. Now nothing will be withheld from them, which they intend to do.

7 E ia, desçamos, e confundamos ali a sua linguagem, para que não entenda um a língua do outro.

Come, let’s go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.”

8 A ssim o Senhor os espalhou dali sobre a face de toda a terra; e cessaram de edificar a cidade.

So Yahweh scattered them abroad from there on the surface of all the earth. They stopped building the city.

9 P or isso se chamou o seu nome Babel, porquanto ali confundiu o Senhor a linguagem de toda a terra, e dali o Senhor os espalhou sobre a face de toda a terra.

Therefore its name was called Babel, because there Yahweh confused the language of all the earth. From there, Yahweh scattered them abroad on the surface of all the earth.
