NASBKJVASVDRBYLT
1 Now the whole earth used the same language and the same words.1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.1 And the whole earth was of one language and of one speech.1 And the earth was of one tongue, and of the same speech. 1 And the whole earth is of one pronunciation, and of the same words,
2 It came about as they journeyed east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there.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.2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.2 And when they removed from the east, they found a plain in the land of Sennaar, and dwelt in it. 2 and it cometh to pass, in their journeying from the east, that they find a valley in the land of Shinar, and dwell there;
3 They said to one another, "Come, let us make bricks and burn them thoroughly." And they used brick for stone, and they used tar for mortar.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 mortar.3 And they said one to another, Come, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar.3 And each one said to his neighbour: Come, let us make brick, and bake them of stones, and slime instead of mortar. 3 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.
4 They said, "Come, let us build for ourselves a city, and a tower whose top will reach into heaven, and let us make for ourselves a name, otherwise we will be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth."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.4 And they said, Come, 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.4 And they said: Come, let us make a city and a tower, the top whereof may reach to heaven: and let us make our name famous before we be scattered abroad into all lands. 4 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.'
5 The LORD came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built.5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.5 And Jehovah came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.5 And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of Adam were building. 5 And Jehovah cometh down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men have builded;
NASBKJVASVDRBYLT
6 The LORD said, "Behold, they are one people, and they all have the same language. And this is what they began to do, and now nothing which they purpose to do will be impossible for them.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.6 And Jehovah said, Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language; and this is what they begin to do: and now nothing will be withholden from them, which they purpose to do.6 And he said: Behold, it is one people, and all have one tongue: and they have begun to do this, neither will they leave off from their designs, till they accomplish them in deed. 6 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.
7 "Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, so that they will not understand one another's speech."7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.7 Come, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.7 Come ye, therefore, let us go down, and there may not understand one another's speech. 7 Give help, let us go down, and mingle there their pronunciation, so that a man doth not understand the pronunciation of his companion.'
8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from there over the face of the whole earth; and they stopped building the city.8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.8 So Jehovah scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off building the city.8 And so the Lord scattered them from that place into all lands, and they ceased to build the city. 8 And Jehovah doth scatter them from thence over the face of all the earth, and they cease to build the city;
9 Therefore its name was called Babel, because there the LORD confused the language of the whole earth; and from there the LORD scattered them abroad over the face of the whole earth.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.9 Therefore was the name of it called Babel; because Jehovah did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did Jehovah scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.9 And therefore the name thereof was called Babel, because there the language of the whole earth was confounded: and from thence the Lord scattered them abroad upon the face of all countries. 9 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.
