babela̋s þǫ̋ro
The Tower of Babel (Genesis 11:1-9)
ivra̋s ų́da tarne̋xaþo
Translated from the Hebrew
Literal translation of the Hebrew text:
- 1. And all the earth was of one language and of one speech.
- 2. And it was as the traveled from the east, they found a level valley in the land of Shinar, and they lived there.
- 3. And each one said to his neighbor, "Come, let us make bricks and burn (them) thoroughly." And the brick was to them for stone, and the asphalt was to them for mortar.
- 4. And they said, "Come, let us build for ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the heavens, and make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered on the face of all the earth.
- 5. And JHWH came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of Adam had built.
- 6. And JHWH said, "See, the people one, and the language one to all them and this they are beginning to do. And now not will be restrained from them all which they have imagined to do.
- 7. Come, let us go and mix up there their language so that they cannot understand their neighbor's one language.
- 8. And JHWH scattered them from there, over the face of all the earth, and they ceased from building the city.
- 9. Therefore its name was called Babel because there JHWH mixed up the speech of all the earth and from there JHWH scattered them abroad on the face of all the earth.
