NOVA VULGATA	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Erat autem universa terra labii unius et sermonum eo rundem.	1 The whole world spoke the same language, with the same vocabulary.
2 Cumque proficiscerentur de oriente, invenerunt campum in terra Sennaar et habitaverunt in eo.	2 Now, as people moved eastwards they found a valley in the land of Shinar where they settled.
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 make bricks and bake them in the fire.' For stone they usedbricks, and for mortar they used bitumen.
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 'Come,' they said, 'let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top reaching heaven. Let us makea name for ourselves, so that we do not get scattered all over the world.'
5 Descendit autem Dominus, ut videret civitatem et turrim, quam aedificaverunt filii hominum,	5 Now Yahweh came down to see the city and the tower that the people 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 'So they are al a single people with a single language!' said Yahweh. 'This is only the start of theirundertakings! Now nothing they plan to do wil be beyond them.
7 Venite igitur, descendamus et confundamus ibi linguam eorum, ut non intellegat unusquisque vocem proximi sui”.	7 Come, let us go down and confuse their language there, so that they cannot understand one another.'
8 Atque ita divisit eos Dominus ex illo loco super faciem universae terrae, et cessaverunt aedificare civitatem.	8 Yahweh scattered them thence all over the world, 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 cal ed Babel, since there Yahweh confused the language of the whole world, andfrom there Yahweh scattered them al over the world.
