¹The whole earth was of one language and of one speech.

¹На всей земле был один язык и одно наречие.

²It happened, as they traveled east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they lived there.

²Двинувшись с востока, они нашли в земле Сеннаар равнину и поселились там.

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.

³И сказали друг другу: наделаем кирпичей и обожжем огнем. И стали у них кирпичи вместо камней, а земляная смола вместо извести.

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.”

⁴И сказали они: построим себе город и башню, высотою до небес, и сделаем себе имя, прежде нежели рассеемся по лицу всей земли.

⁵Yahweh came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men built.

⁵И сошел Господь посмотреть город и башню, которые строили сыны человеческие.

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.

⁶И сказал Господь: вот, один народ, и один у всех язык; и вот что начали они делать, и не отстанут они от того, что задумали делать;

⁷Come, let’s go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.”

⁷сойдем же и смешаем там язык их, так чтобы одинне понимал речи другого.

⁸So Yahweh scattered them abroad from there on the surface of all the earth. They stopped building the city.

⁸И рассеял их Господь оттуда по всей земле; и они перестали строить город.

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.

⁹Посему дано ему имя: Вавилон, ибо там смешал Господь язык всей земли, и оттуда рассеял их Господь по всей земле.
