Genesis 11

VULGATA	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Erat autem terra labii unius, et sermonum eorumdem.	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 cæmento :	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, cujus culmen pertingat ad cælum : et celebremus nomen nostrum antequam dividamur in universas terras.	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 ædificabant filii Adam,	5 Now Yahweh came down to see the city and the tower that the people had built.
6 et dixit : Ecce, unus est populus, et unum labium omnibus : c?peruntque hoc facere, nec desistent a cogitationibus suis, donec eas opere compleant.	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 audiat 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 in universas terras, et cessaverunt ædificare civitatem.	8 Yahweh scattered them thence all over the world, and they stopped building the city.
9 Et idcirco vocatum est nomen ejus Babel, quia ibi confusum est labium universæ terræ : et inde dispersit eos Dominus super faciem cunctarum regionum.	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.
