Καί ἦν πᾶσα γῆ χεῖλος ἕν καὶ φωνὴ μία πᾶσιν . καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ κινῆσαι αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ ἀνατολῶν εὗρον πεδίον ἐν γῇ Σεννααρ καὶ κατῴκησαν ἐκεῖ . καὶ εἶπεν ἄνθρωπος τῷ πλησίον Δεύτε πλινθεύσωμεν πλίνθους καὶ ὀπτήσωμεν αὐτὰς πυρί . Καὶ ἐγένετο αὐτοῖς πλίνθος εἰς λίθον καὶ ἄσφαλτος ἦν αὐτοῖς πηλός . καὶ εἶπαν Δεύτε οἰκοδομήσωμεν ἑαυτοῖς πόλιν καὶ πύργον , οὗ κεφαλὴ ἔσται ἕως τοῦ οὐρανοῦ , καὶ ποιήσωμεν ἑαυτοῖς ὄνομα πρὸ τοῦ διασπαρῆναι ἐπὶ προσώπου πάσης τῆς γῆς . καὶ κατέβη κύριος ἰδεν τὴν πόλιν καὶ τὸν πύργον , ὅν ᾠκοδόμησαν οἱ υἱοὶ τῶν ἀνθρώπων . καὶ εἶπεν κύριος Ἰδοὺ γένος ἕν καὶ χεῖλος πάντων , καὶ τοῦτο ἤρξαντο ποιῆσαι , καὶ νῦν οὐκ ἐκλείψει ἐξ αὐτῶν πάντα , ὅσα ἄν ἐπιθῶνται ποιεῖν . δεῦτε καὶ καταβάντες συγχέωμεν ἐκεῖ αὐτῶν τὴν γλῶσσαν , ἵνα μὴ ἀκούσωσιν ἕκαστος τὴν φωνὴν τοῦ πλησίον . καὶ διέσπειρεν αὐτοὺς κύριος ἐκεῖθεν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον πάσης τῆς γῆς , καὶ ἐπαύσαντο οἰκοδομοῦντες τὴν πόλιν καὶ πύργον . διὰ τοῦτο ἐκλήθη τὸ ὄνομα αὐτῆς Σύγχυσις , ὅτι ἐκεῖ συνέχεεν κύριος τὰ χείλη πάσης τῆς , καὶ ἐκεῖθεν διέσπειρεν αὐτοὺς κύριος θεὸς ἐπὶ πρόσωπον πάσης τῆς γῆς .
Now the whole earth had one language and the same words . And as people migrated from the east , they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there . And they said to one another , " Come , let us make bricks , and burn them thoroughly . " And they had brick for stone , and bitumen for mortar . Then they said , " Come , let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the heavens , and let us make a name for ourselves , lest we be dispersed over the face of the whole earth . " And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower , which the children of man had built . And the Lord said , " Behold , they are one people , and they have all one language , and this is only the beginning of what they will do . And nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them . Come , let us go down and there confuse their language , so that they may not understand one another ' s speech . " So the Lord dispersed them from there over the face of all the earth , and they left off building the city . Therefore its name was called Babel , because there the Lord confused the language of all the earth . And from there the Lord dispersed them over the face of all the earth .
