| Interlinear Translation 1 | Now, one-language and common speech whole world had. |
|---|
| Translation 2 | As westward people moved, in Shinar, plain they found and there they-settled. |
|---|
| Translation 3 | To each other they-said, "Come, bricks we-will make, and them-bake thorough." Brick for stone they-used, and tar for mortar they-used. |
|---|
| Translation 4 | Then, they-said, "Come, for us a city we-will build, with tower to heavens, so name for us we-will make, and over whole earth not scattered we-will be. |
|---|
| Translation 5 | But down Lord came, to see city and tower men built. |
|---|
| Translation 6 | Lord said, "If same language speaking people this do-begun, then for them no plan impossible will be. |
|---|
| Translation 7 | Come, down we go, and their language we-confuse, so each other they-understand-won't." |
|---|
| Translation 8 | And from there to whole world them Lord scattered, and their city building they-stopped. |
|---|
| Translation 9 | Reason that is, Babel it-was called- because there, whole world's language Lord confused and over whole earth people Lord scattered. |
|---|
| English Paraphrase 1 | Now the whole world had one language and a common speech. |
|---|
| Paraphrase 2 | As men moved eastward, they found a plain in Shinar and settled there. |
|---|
| Paraphrase 3 | They said to each other, "Come, let's make bricks and bake them thoroughly." They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar. |
|---|
| Paraphrase 4 | 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." |
|---|
| Paraphrase 5 | But the Lord camedown to see the city and the tower that the men were building. |
|---|
| Paraphrase 6 | 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. |
|---|
| Paraphrase 7 | Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other." |
|---|
| Paraphrase 8 | So the Lord scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city. |
|---|
| Paraphrase 9 | 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. |
