- Now the whole earth used the same language and the same words.
- It came about as they journeyed east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there.
- 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.
- 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."
- The LORD came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built.

- 那時、天下人的口音言語、都是一樣。
- 他們往東邊遷移的時候、在示拿地遇見一片平原、就住在那裡。
- 他們彼此商量說、來罷、我們要作磚、把磚燒透了。他們就拿磚當石頭、又拿石漆當灰泥。
- 他們說、來罷、我們要建造一座城、和一座塔、塔頂通天、為要傳揚我們的名、免得我們分散在全地上。
- 耶和華降臨要看看世人所建造的城和塔。
