Interlinear Translation 1 There-was-a-time when spoke the-world whole with-a-language single and they-used words same. Translation 2 Happened when travelled men to-the-East that they-[came] to-a-plain in-Shinar and they-settled there. Translation 3 They-said to-each-other, come, let-build bricks us and let-bake hard them us. They-used bricks for-stone and bitumen for-mortar. Translation 4 And they-said, come, let-build us for-ourselves a-city and a-tower with-its-top up-in-the-sky; and let-make us a-name for-ourselves, so-that we-would-not-be-dispersed throughout-the-world whole. Translation 5 Came-down then the-lord (for)-to-see [the]-city and [the]-tower that-had-built all-men mortal. Translation 6 And he-said, they-are here, are-people one they having-a-language single, and they-have-been-beginning this now; so there-will-be-nothing from-now-[on] beyond-their-reach which-they-would-think (for)-to-do. Translation 7 Come, let-go-down to-there us and let-confuse their-speech us, so they-will-not-understand it that-they-say to-each-other. Translation 8 And dispersed them the-lord from-there to-each-part of-the-world, and they-gave-up building the-city. Translation 9 This-is why-called Babel, because did the-lord a-babel of-[the]-language of-the-world whole; and dispersed all-men the-lord from-there around-[the]-surface whole of-the-world. English Paraphrase 1 Once upon a time all the world spoke a single language and used the same words. Paraphrase 2 As men journeyed to the east, they came upon a plain in shinar and settled there. Paraphrase 3 They said one to another, Come, let us make bricks and bake them hard. They used bricks for stone and bitumen for mortar. Paraphrase 4 And they said, Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower with its top in the heavens; and make a name for ourselves, lest we be dispersed all over the earth. Paraphrase 5 Then the Lord came down to see the city and the tower which mortal men had built. Paraphrase 6 And he said, Here they are, one people with a single language; and now they have started to do this; henceforward nothing they have in mind to do will be beyond their reach. Paraphrase 7 Come, let us go down there and confuse their speech, so that they will not understand what they say to one another. Paraphrase 8 So the Lord dispersed them from there all over the earth and they left off building the city. Paraphrase 9 That is why it is called Babel, because the Lord made a babble of the language of all the world; and from that place the Lord scattered men all over the face of the earth.
