The Latin Vulgate VUL
1 Now the whole earth had one language and the same words.
1
erat autem terra labii unius et sermonum eorundem
2 And as people migrated from the east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there.
2
cumque proficiscerentur de oriente invenerunt campum in terra Sennaar et habitaverunt in eo
3 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.
3
dixitque alter ad proximum suum venite faciamus lateres et coquamus eos igni habueruntque lateres pro saxis et bitumen pro cemento
4 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. ”
4
et dixerunt venite faciamus nobis civitatem et turrem cuius culmen pertingat ad caelum et celebremus nomen nostrum antequam dividamur in universas terras
5 And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of man had built.
5
descendit autem Dominus ut videret civitatem et turrem quam aedificabant filii Adam
6 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.
6
et dixit ecce unus est populus et unum labium omnibus coeperuntque hoc facere nec desistent a cogitationibus suis donec eas opere conpleant
7 Come, let us go down and there confuse their language, so that they may not understand one another’s speech. ”
7
venite igitur descendamus et confundamus ibi linguam eorum ut non audiat unusquisque vocem proximi sui
8 So the Lord dispersed them from there over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city.
8
atque ita divisit eos Dominus ex illo loco in universas terras et cessaverunt aedificare civitatem
9 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.
9
et idcirco vocatum est nomen eius Babel quia ibi confusum est labium universae terrae et inde dispersit eos Dominus super faciem cunctarum regionum
