创世记-Genesis第11章

乐园李老师

创11:1  那时，天下人的口音，言语，都是一样。
Now the whole world had one language and a common speech.

创11:2  他们往东边迁移的时候，在示拿地遇见一片平原，就住在那里。
As men moved eastward, they found a plain in Shinar and settled there.

创11:3  他们彼此商量说，来吧，我们要作砖，把砖烧透了。他们就拿砖当石头，又拿石漆当灰泥。
They said to each other, 'Come, let's make bricks and bake them thoroughly.' They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar.

创11:4  他们说，来吧，我们要建造一座城和一座塔，塔顶通天，为要传扬我们的名，免得我们分散在全地上。
Then they said, 'Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves and not be scattered over the face of the whole earth.'

创11:5  耶和华降临，要看看世人所建造的城和塔。
But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower that the men were building.

创11:6  耶和华说，看哪，他们成为一样的人民，都是一样的言语，如今既作起这事来，以后他们所要作的事就没有不成就的了。
The Lord said, 'If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them.

创11:7  我们下去，在那里变乱他们的口音，使他们的言语彼此不通。
Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.'

创11:8  于是，耶和华使他们从那里分散在全地上。他们就停工，不造那城了。
So the Lord scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city.

创11:9  因为耶和华在那里变乱天下人的言语，使众人分散在全地上，所以那城名叫巴别（就是变乱的意思）。
That is why it was called Babel -because there the Lord confused the language of the whole world. From there the Lord scattered them over the face of the whole earth.
