1 N o mundo todo havia apenas uma língua, um só modo de falar.

And the whole earth was of one language and of one speech.

2 S aindo os homens do Oriente, encontraram uma planície em Sinear e ali se fixaram.

And it came to pass, as they journeyed east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.

3 D isseram uns aos outros: “Vamos fazer tijolos e queimá-los bem”. Usavam tijolos em lugar de pedras, e piche em vez de argamassa.

And they said one to another, Come, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar.

4 D epois disseram: “Vamos construir uma cidade, com uma torre que alcance os céus. Assim nosso nome será famoso e não seremos espalhados pela face da terra”.

And they said, Come, 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.

5 O Senhor desceu para ver a cidade e a torre que os homens estavam construindo.

And Jehovah came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.

6 E disse o Senhor: “Eles são um só povo e falam uma só língua, e começaram a construir isso. Em breve nada poderá impedir o que planejam fazer.

And Jehovah said, Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language; and this is what they begin to do: and now nothing will be withholden from them, which they purpose to do.

7 V enham, desçamos e confundamos a língua que falam, para que não entendam mais uns aos outros”.

Come, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.

8 A ssim o Senhor os dispersou dali por toda a terra, e pararam de construir a cidade.

So Jehovah scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off building the city.

9 P or isso foi chamada Babel, porque ali o Senhor confundiu a língua de todo o mundo. Dali o Senhor os espalhou por toda a terra. A Descendência de Sem

Therefore was the name of it called Babel; because Jehovah did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did Jehovah scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
