Genesi 11

NOVA VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Erat autem universa terra labii unius et sermonum eo rundem.	1 The whole world spoke the same language, using the same words.
2 Cumque proficiscerentur de oriente, invenerunt campum in terra Sennaar et habitaverunt in eo.	2 While men were migrating in the east, they came upon a valley in the land of Shinar and settled there.
3 Dixitque alter ad proximum suum: “Venite, faciamus lateres et coquamus eos igni”. Habueruntque lateres pro saxis et bitumen pro caemento.	3 They said to one another, "Come, let us mold bricks and harden them with fire." They used bricks for stone, and bitumen for mortar.
4 Et dixerunt: “Venite, faciamus nobis civitatem et turrim, cuius culmen pertingat ad caelum, et faciamus nobis nomen, ne dividamur super faciem universae terrae”.	4 Then they said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the sky, and so make a name for ourselves; otherwise we shall be scattered all over the earth."
5 Descendit autem Dominus, ut videret civitatem et turrim, quam aedificaverunt filii hominum,	5 LORD came down to see the city and the tower that the men had built.
6 et dixit Dominus: “Ecce unus est populus et unum labium omnibus; et hoc est initium operationis eorum, nec eis erit deinceps difficile, quidquid cogitaverint facere.	6 Then the LORD said: "If now, while they are one people, all speaking the same language, they have started to do this, nothing will later stop them from doing whatever they presume to do.
7 Venite igitur, descendamus et confundamus ibi linguam eorum, ut non intellegat unusquisque vocem proximi sui”.	7 Let us then go down and there confuse their language, so that one will not understand what another says."
8 Atque ita divisit eos Dominus ex illo loco super faciem universae terrae, et cessaverunt aedificare civitatem.	8 Thus the LORD scattered them from there all over the earth, and they stopped building the city.
9 Et idcirco vocatum est nomen eius Babel, quia ibi confusum est labium universae terrae, et inde dispersit eos Dominus super faciem universae terrae.	9 That is why it was called Babel, because there the LORD confused the speech of all the world. It was from that place that he scattered them all over the earth.
