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

¹Bila pa je po vsej zemlji ena govorica, iste besede.

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

²Zgodi se pa, ko so potovali od jutra, da so našli ravnino v deželi Sinearski, ter so se nastanili tam.

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.

³In rekli so drug drugemu: Dejte, naredimo opeko in jo izžgimo z ognjem! In bila jim je opeka za kamenje in zemeljska smola namesto malte.

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.”

⁴In rekli so: Dejte, zgradimo si mesto in stolp, ki mu vrh bodi do neba, in naredimo si ime, da se morda ne razkropimo po vsej zemlji.

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

⁵Ali GOSPOD pride doli pogledat mesto in stolp, ki so ga gradili otroci človeški.

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.

⁶In reče GOSPOD: Glej, ljudstvo je eno in vsem je edina gvorica, in to je samo začetek njih dela; sedaj pa se jim ne zabrani nič, kar so sklenili storiti.

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

⁷Dejte, pojdimo doli in zmešajmo jim tam njih govorico, da ne bodo umeli drug drugega govorice.

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

⁸Tako jih je razkropil GOSPOD odtod po vsej zemlji, in nehali so graditi tisto mesto.

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.

⁹Zato so imenovali ime njegovo Babel, ker je bil tam GOSPOD zmedel vse zemlje govorico, in odtod jih je GOSPOD razkropil po vsej zemlji.
