3وقال بعضهم لبعض هلم نصنع لبنا ونشويه شيا. فكان لهم اللبن مكان الحجر وكان لهم الحمر مكان الطين.
3They said one to another, “Come, let’s make bricks, and burn them thoroughly.” They had brick for stone, and they used tar for mortar.
4وقالوا هلم نبن لانفسنا مدينة وبرجا راسه بالسماء. ونصنع لانفسنا اسما لئلا نتبدد على وجه كل الارض.
4They said, “Come, let’s build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top reaches to the sky, and let’s make ourselves a name, lest we be scattered abroad on the surface of the whole earth.”
5فنزل الرب لينظر المدينة والبرج اللذين كان بنو آدم يبنونهما.
5Yahweh came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men built.
6وقال الرب هوذا شعب واحد ولسان واحد لجميعهم وهذا ابتداؤهم بالعمل. والآن لا يمتنع عليهم كل ما ينوون ان يعملوه.
6Yahweh 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.
7هلم ننزل ونبلبل هناك لسانهم حتى لا يسمع بعضهم لسان بعض.
7Come, let’s go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.”
8فبددهم الرب من هناك على وجه كل الارض. فكفّوا عن بنيان المدينة.
8So Yahweh scattered them abroad from there on the surface of all the earth. They stopped building the city.
9لذلك دعي اسمها بابل. لان الرب هناك بلبل لسان كل الارض. ومن هناك بددهم الرب على وجه كل الارض
9Therefore 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.
