創世記 11

那時，天下人的口音、言語都是一樣。

nà shí ， tiān xià rén de kǒu yīn 、 yán yǔ dōu shì yí yàng 。

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

他們往東邊遷移的時候，在示拿地遇見一片平原，就住在那裏。

tā men wǎng dōng biān qiān yí de shí hòu ， zài shì ná dì yù jiàn yí piàn píng yuán ， jiù zhù zài nà lǐ 。

As they traveled east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they lived there.

他們彼此商量說：「來吧！我們要做磚，把磚燒透了。」他們就拿磚當石頭，又拿石漆當灰泥。

tā men bǐ cǐ shāng liáng shuō ：「 lái ba ！ wǒ men yào zuò zhuān ， bǎ zhuān shāo tòu le 。」 tā men jiù ná zhuān dāng shí tou ， yòu ná shí qī dāng huī ní 。

They said to one another, “Come, let’s make bricks, and burn them thoroughly.” They had brick for stone, and they used tar for mortar.

他們說：「來吧！我們要建造一座城和一座塔，塔頂通天，為要傳揚我們的名，免得我們分散在全地上。」

tā men shuō ：「 lái ba ！ wǒ men yào jiàn zào yí zuò chéng hé yí zuò tǎ ， tǎ dǐng tōng tiān ， wèi yào chuán yáng wǒ men de míng ， miǎn de wǒ men fēn sàn zài quán dì shàng 。」

They said, “Come, let’s build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top reaches to the sky, and let’s make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad on the surface of the whole earth.”

耶和華降臨，要看看世人所建造的城和塔。

yē hé huá jiàng lín ， yào kàn kàn shì rén suǒ jiàn zào de chéng hé tǎ 。

The LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men built.

耶和華說：「看哪，他們成為一樣的人民，都是一樣的言語，如今既做起這事來，以後他們所要做的事就沒有不成就的了。

yē hé huá shuō ：「 kàn nǎ ， tā men chéng wéi yí yàng de rén mín ， dōu shì yí yàng de yán yǔ ， rú jīn jì zuò qǐ zhè shì lái ， yǐ hòu tā men suǒ yào zuò de shì jiù méi yǒu bù chéng jiù de le 。

The LORD said, “Behold, they are one people, and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do. Now nothing will be withheld from them, which they intend to do.

我們下去，在那裏變亂他們的口音，使他們的言語彼此不通。」

wǒ men xià qù ， zài nà lǐ biàn luàn tā men de kǒu yīn ， shǐ tā men de yán yǔ bǐ cǐ bù tōng 。」

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

於是耶和華使他們從那裏分散在全地上；他們就停工，不造那城了。

yú shì yē hé huá shǐ tā men cóng nà lǐ fēn sàn zài quán dì shàng ； tā men jiù tíng gōng ， bú zào nà chéng le 。

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

因為耶和華在那裏變亂天下人的言語，使眾人分散在全地上，所以那城名叫巴別 。

yīn wèi yē hé huá zài nà lǐ biàn luàn tiān xià rén de yán yǔ ， shǐ zhòng rén fēn sàn zài quán dì shàng ， suǒ yǐ nà chéng míng jiào bā bié 。

Therefore its name was called Babel, because there the LORD confused the language of all the earth. From there, the LORD scattered them abroad on the surface of all the earth.
