1 Naquele tempo todos os povos falavam uma língua só, todos usavam as mesmas palavras.

9 A cidade recebeu o nome de Babel , pois ali o Senhor atrapalhou a língua falada por todos os moradores da terra e dali os espalhou pelo mundo inteiro.

1 So it came to pass that, all the earth, was of one manner of speech,and of one stock of words.

9 For this cause, was the name thereof called Babel; because there, did Yahweh confuse the speech of all the earth,and, from thence, did Yahweh scatter them abroad, over the face of all the earth. \fs15
