1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.

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.

1 那时, 全世界只有一种语言, 大家说同样的话语。

9 因此, 那城的名就叫巴别, 因为耶和华在那里混乱了全地所有的人的语言, 又从那里把他们分散在全地上。
