| Introduction | Vozgian is a North-Slavonic conlang, supposedly spoken in the Vozgian Autonomous Republic, somewhere in the North of Russia. I started creating it back in 1996 an, as might be expected, work is still in progress.
In 2004, the language was restarted from scratch. This Babel Text translation represents the old version of the language and therefore may be considered obsolete. |

| Interlinear Translation 1 | And the whole world had one language and the same words. |
|---|
| Translation 2 | But it happened, as they moved from the East, that they found a plain in the land Shinar, and they dwelt there. |
|---|
| Translation 3 | And a man said unto his friend: "Come! Let us make bricks and burn them well." And the bricks were stones for them, and clay was mortar for them. |
|---|
| Translation 4 | And they said: "Come, let us build a city and a tower, top of which will reach heaven. And we will make ourselves a name, so that we will not be scattered over the whole world." |
|---|
| Translation 5 | Then the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, that the children of man were building. |
|---|
| Translation 6 | And the Lord said: "Behold! One people and one language for all, and this is what they began to do. And now, nothing will be impossible for them, whatever they would want to do. |
|---|
| Translation 7 | Behold! We will come down and there confuse their language, so that they will not understand each other's language." |
|---|
| Translation 8 | And the Lord scattered them from there over the whole world, and they ceased building the city. |
|---|
| Translation 9 | For that reason it is called Babel, because the Lord confused the language of the whole word, and from there the Lord scattered them over the whole world. |
