1 Houve um tempo em que todos os habitantes do mundo falavam a mesma língua e usavam as mesmas palavras.

9 Ela recebeu o nome de Babel, pois ali o Senhor confundiu as pessoas com línguas diferentes e as espalhou pelo mundo.

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

9 Therefore the name of it was called Babel, because LORD there confounded the language of all the earth, and from there LORD scattered them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
