1 And all the world was of one to nge and one language. Now the whole earth had one language and the same words. Now the whole world had one language and a common speech.
2 And as they came from the east they founde a playne in the lande of Synear and there they dwelled. And as people migrated from the east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there. As people moved eastward, they found a plain in Shinar and settled there.
3 And they sayd one to a nother: come on let us make brycke ad burne it wyth fyre. So brycke was there stone and slyme was there morter And they said to one another, “Come, let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly.” And they had brick for stone, and bitumen for mortar. They said to each other, “Come, let’s make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar.
4 And they sayd: Come on let vs buylde vs a cyte and a toure that the toppe may reach vnto heauen. And let vs make us a name for perauenture we shall be scatered abrode over all the erth. Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be dispersed over the face of the whole earth.” Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves; otherwise we will be scattered over the face of the whole earth.”
5 And the LORde came downe to see the cyte and the toure which the childern of Ada had buylded. And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of man had built. But the LORD came down to see the city and the tower the people were building.
6 And the LORde sayd: See the people is one and haue one tonge amonge them all. And thys haue they begon to do and wyll not leaue of from all that they haue purposed to do. And the LORD said, “Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language, and this is only the beginning of what they will do. And nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them. The LORD said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them.
7 Come on let vs descende and myngell theire tonge even there that one vnderstonde not what a nother sayeth. Come, let us go down and there confuse their language, so that they may not understand one another’s speech.” Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.”
8 Thus ye LORde skatered them from thence vppon all the erth. And they left of to buylde the cyte. So the LORD dispersed them from there over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city. So the LORD scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city.
9 Wherfore the name of it is called Babell because that the LORDE there confounded the tonge of all the world. And because that the LORde from thence skatered them abrode vppon all the erth. Therefore its name was called Babel, because there the LORD confused the language of all the earth. And from there the LORD dispersed them over the face of all the earth. That is why it was called Babel —because there the LORD confused the language of the whole world. From there the LORD scattered them over the face of the whole earth.
