1 ULB O mundo tinha uma só língua e uma só maneira de falar. BSB BSB: Now the whole world had one language and a common form of speech.
2 ULB Partindo eles do oriente, acharam uma planície na terra de Sinar e se estabeleceram ali. BSB BSB: And as people journeyed eastward, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there.
3 ULB E disseram uns aos outros: "Vinde, façamos tijolos e queimemo-los completamente". Eles usaram tijolos em vez de pedras, e o piche como argamassa. BSB BSB: 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.
4 ULB E disseram: "Vinde, construamos uma cidade para nós, uma torre cujo topo alcance o céu, e façamos para nós um nome, a fim de que não nos espalhemos sobre a superfície da terra". BSB BSB: “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.”
5 ULB E desceu Yahweh para ver a cidade e a torre que os filhos dos homens edificaram. BSB BSB: Then the LORD came down to see the city and the tower that the sons of men were building.
6 ULB Yahweh disse: "Eis que todos são um só povo e falam uma só língua. Isso é o que começaram a fazer; agora não haverá restrição alguma para tudo o que intentarem fazer. BSB BSB: 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.
7 ULB Vinde, desçamos e confundamos ali a sua língua, para que não entendam uns aos outros". BSB BSB: Come, let Us go down and confuse their language, so that they will not understand one another’s speech.”
8 ULB E Yahweh os espalhou dali sobre toda a superfície da terra; e pararam de edificar a cidade. BSB BSB: So the LORD scattered them from there over the face of all the earth, and they stopped building the city.
9 ULB Por isso foi chamada Babel, porque foi ali que Yahweh confundiu a língua de toda a terra e os espalhou sobre toda a face da terra. BSB BSB: 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.
