Verse
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
KJV
King James Version
And the whole earth is
of one pronunciation
, and of the
same
words,
And the whole earth was
of one language
, and of one
speech.
and it cometh
to pass, in
their
journeying
from the east, that they find
a valley
in the land of Shinar ,
and dwell
there ;
And it came
to pass, as
they
journeyed
from the east, that they found
a plain
in the land of Shinar ;
and they
dwelt
there .
and they say
each
one to his
neighbour
, `Give
help
, let us make bricks
, and burn `
them '
thoroughly :'
and the
brick is
to
them
for stone, and the
bitumen
hath
been
to
them
for mortar.
And they said
one to another
, Go
to
, let us make brick
, and burn them thoroughly .
And they
had
brick for stone, and slime
had
they
for mortar.
And they say
, `Give
help
, let us build for
ourselves
a city and tower, and
its
head
in
the
heavens,
and make for
ourselves
a name, lest we be scattered over
the face of all
the earth. '
And they said
, Go
to
, let us build us
a city and a
tower, whose
top
may
reach
unto
heaven;
and let
us
make us
a name, lest we be scattered abroad
upon
the face of the whole
earth.
And Jehovah
cometh
down to see the city and the tower which the sons
of men have
builded ;
And the
LORD
came
down to see the city and the tower ,
which the children
of men builded .
and Jehovah
saith
, `Lo
, the people `
is '
one, and one
pronunciation
`is'
to
them
all ,
and this it
hath
dreamed
of
doing;
and now ,
nothing is
restrained from them of
that
which they have purposed
to do.
And the
LORD
said
, Behold
, the people is one, and they
have
all one
language;
and this they
begin
to
do:
and now nothing will
be
restrained from them ,
which they have imagined
to do.
Give
help
, let us go down, and mingle
there their pronunciation
, so
that a
man
doth
not understand the
pronunciation
of
his
companion
. '
Go
to
, let us go down, and there confound
their language
, that they
may
not understand one
another's
speech
.
And
Jehovah
doth
scatter
them from thence over
the face of all the earth ,
and they cease
to build the city ;
So
the
LORD
scattered
them abroad
from thence upon
the face of all the earth :
and they left
off
to build the city .
therefore hath
`one'
called
its
name Babel ,
for
there hath
Jehovah
mingled
the pronunciation
of all the earth ,
and from thence hath
Jehovah
scattered
them over
the face of all the earth.
Therefore is
the
name of
it
called
Babel ;
because
the
LORD
did
there confound
the language
of all the earth :
and from thence did
the
LORD
scatter
them abroad
upon
the face of all the earth.
