Verse
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
BSB
Berean Standard Bible
And
the whole earth
is
of
one pronunciation,
and of the
same
words,
Now
the whole world
had
one language
and a
common
form
of speech.
and it
cometh
to
pass,
in
their
journeying
from
the
east
, that
they find
a valley
in the land of Shinar ,
and dwell
there ;
And as
people
journeyed
eastward
, they found
a plain
in the land of Shinar and settled
there .
and they say
each
one
to his
neighbour
, `Give
help
, let us make bricks ,
and burn
`
them '
thoroughly :'
and
the
brick is
to
them
for
stone, and the
bitumen
hath
been
to
them
for
mortar.
And they said
to one
another
, “Come
, let us make bricks and bake
them thoroughly .”
So
they
used
brick instead
of
stone, and tar
instead
of
mortar.
And
they
say
, `Give
help
, let us build for ourselves a city and
tower ,
and
its
head
in
the heavens, and
make for
ourselves
a name ,
lest
we
be scattered over the face of all the earth. '
“Come
, ”
they
said
, “
let us build for ourselves a city with
a
tower that
reaches
to
the heavens, that
we
may
make a name for
ourselves
and
not
be scattered over the face of all the earth. ”
And
Jehovah
cometh
down to see the city and the tower which
the sons of men have
builded;
Then
the
LORD
came
down to see the city and the tower that
the sons of men were
building.
and Jehovah
saith,
`Lo,
the people
`is'
one
, and
one
pronunciation
`is'
to them
all,
and
this it
hath
dreamed
of
doing;
and
now
, nothing is
restrained
from
them
of
that
which
they have
purposed
to
do
.
And the LORD
said
, “If
they
have
begun
to do
this as
one
people
speaking
the
same
language
, then
nothing they devise
will
be
beyond
them
.
Give
help
, let us go down ,
and mingle
there
their pronunciation
, so that a
man
doth
not understand the
pronunciation
of
his
companion
. '
Come
, let Us go down and confuse
their language
, so that they
will
not understand one
another’s
speech
. ”
And
Jehovah
doth
scatter
them from thence
over the face of all the earth, and they cease
to
build
the city ;
So
the
LORD
scattered
them from there
over the face of all the earth, and they stopped
building
the city .
therefore
hath
`one'
called its
name
Babel, for there hath
Jehovah
mingled
the pronunciation
of all
the earth
, and from thence
hath
Jehovah
scattered them over the face of all the earth.
That
is
why
it
is
called Babel, for there the LORD
confused
the
language
of the whole
world
, and from that
place
the
LORD
scattered them over the face of all the earth.
