Babel

The Tower of Babel (Genesis 11: 1-9)

Hrvatski (Croatian)

  1. Sva je zemlja imala jedan jezik i riječi iste.
  2. Ali kako su se ljudi selili s istoka, naiđu na jednu dolinu u zemlji Šinearu i tu se nastane.
  3. Jedan drugome reče: "Hajdemo praviti opeke te ih peći da otvrdnu!" Opeke im bile mjesto kamena, a paklina im služila za žbuku.
  4. Onda rekoše: "Hajde da sebi podignemo grad i toranj s vrhom do neba! Pribavimo sebi ime, da se ne raspršimo po svoj zemlji!"
  5. Jahve se spusti da vidi grad i toranj što su ga gradili sinovi čovječji.
  6. Jahve reče. "Zbilja su jedan narod, s jednim jezikom za sve! Ovo je tek početak njihovih nastojanja. Sad im ništa neće biti neostvarivo što god naume izvesti.
  7. Hajde da siđemo i jezik im pobrkamo, da jedan drugome govora ne razumije."
  8. Tako ih Jahve rasu odande po svoj zemlji te ne sazidaše grada.
  9. Stoga mu je ime Babel, jer je ondje Jahve pobrkao govor svima u onom kraju i odande ih je Jahve raspršio po svoj zemlji.
