New International Version NIV
1 Or tutta la terra parlava la stessa lingua e usava le stesse parole.
1
Now the whole world had one language and a common speech.
2 E avvenne che, essendo partiti verso l’Oriente, gli uomini trovarono una pianura nel paese di Scinear, e quivi si stanziarono.
2
As people moved eastward, they found a plain in Shinar and settled there.
3 E dissero l’uno all’altro: "Orsù, facciamo dei mattoni e cociamoli col fuoco!" E si valsero di mattoni invece di pietre, e di bitume invece di calcina.
3
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 E dissero: "Orsù, edifichiamoci una città ed una torre di cui la cima giunga fino al cielo, e acquistiamoci fama, onde non siamo dispersi sulla faccia di tutta la terra".
4
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 E l’Eterno discese per vedere la città e la torre che i figliuoli degli uomini edificavano.
5
But the LORD came down to see the city and the tower the people were building.
6 E l’Eterno disse: "Ecco, essi sono un solo popolo e hanno tutti il medesimo linguaggio; e questo è il principio del loro lavoro; ora nulla li impedirà di condurre a termine ciò che disegnano di fare.
6
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 Orsù, scendiamo e confondiamo quivi il loro linguaggio, sicché l’uno non capisca il parlare dell’altro!"
7
Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.”
8 Così l’Eterno li disperse di la sulla faccia di tutta la terra, ed essi cessarono di edificare la città.
8
So the LORD scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city.
9 Perciò a questa fu dato il nome di Babel perché l’Eterno confuse quivi il linguaggio di tutta la terra, e di la l’Eterno li disperse sulla faccia di tutta la terra.
9
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.
