The Tower of Babel (Genesis 11: 1-9)
basa Jawa (Javanese)
Javanese alphabet version of this text by Nurrahim Dwi Saputra
Menara Babil
- Anadene wong sajagad iku padha tunggal basa lan tunggal tembung.
- Kacarita bareng padha lumaku mangetan, banjur weruh ara-ara jembar ing tanah Sinear, tumuli padha manggon ana ing kono.
- Banjur padha rasanan: "Payo padha nyithak bata lan diobong kang mateng." Batane kanggo watu pasangan, lan kang digawe lepane aspal.
- Pangucape maneh: "Payo padha yasa kutha, nganggo menara kang pucake sundhul langit, supaya jeneng kita dadi misuwur lan kita aja nganti pating slebar ana ing salumahe bumi."
- Sang Yehuwah tumuli tumedhak karsa mirsani kutha lan menara kang lagi dibangun dening para anaking manungsa mau;
- sarta pangandikane Sang Yehuwah: "Lah wong-wong iku padha tunggal basa; iki lagi wiwitaning kekarepane, mengko rak bakal wus ora kena diendhakake apa kang dadi sedyane.
- Payo, Kita padha tumedhak lan ngisruhake basane, supaya siji lan sijine aja nganti ngreti basane."
- Mangkono dadine Sang Yehuwah mbubarake wong-wong mau saka ing kono menyang ing salumahing bumi, temahan padha kandheg anggone padha yasa kutha.
- Mulane tilase mau diarani: Babil, marga ana ing kono Sang Yehuwah anggone ngisruhake basane wong-wong ing salumahing bumi, lan saka ing kono Sang Yehuwah anggone mbuyarake wong-wong mau menyang ing salumahing bumi.
