Postanak 11:1-9
Biblija: suvremeni hrvatski prijevod
Bog raspršuje ljude po svijetu
11 Na cijelome svijetu govorio se samo jedan jezik i koristile iste riječi. 2 Kako su se ljudi kretali po istoku, naišli su na dolinu u zemlji Babiloniji i ondje se nastanili. 3 »Hajdemo praviti cigle i peći ih da otvrdnu«, rekli su jedan drugome. Tako su koristili ciglu umjesto kamena i katran umjesto žbuke. 4 Zatim su rekli: »Hajdemo sagraditi sebi grad i toranj[a] s vrhom do neba, da steknemo ugled i da se ne raspršimo po cijelome svijetu.«
5 BOG je sišao vidjeti grad i toranj što su ih zidali ljudi. 6 »Zaista su jedan narod i svi govore jednim jezikom«, rekao je BOG. »Ovo je tek početak njihovih djela. Što god naume, sad će im biti ostvarivo. 7 Hajde da siđemo i pobrkamo im jezik, da se međusobno ne razumiju.«
8 Tako ih je BOG odande raspršio po cijelome svijetu, a zidanje je grada zaustavljeno. 9 Grad se zvao Babilon zato što je BOG ondje pobrkao[b] jezik cijeloga svijeta. Odande ih je BOG raspršio po čitavoj zemlji.

Genesis 11:1-9
King James Version
11 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
2 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.
3 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 morter.
4 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.
5 And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
6 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.
7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.
8 So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.
9 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.
