1Toute la terre avait une seule langue et les mêmes mots.
1The whole earth was of one language and of one speech.
2Comme ils étaient partis de l’orient, ils trouvèrent une plaine au pays de Schinear, et ils y habitèrent.
2As they traveled east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they lived there.
3Ils se dirent l’un à l’autre: Allons! Faisons des briques, et cuisons-les au feu. Et la brique leur servit de pierre, et le bitume leur servit de ciment.
3They said to one another, “Come, let’s make bricks, and burn them thoroughly.” They had brick for stone, and they used tar for mortar.
4Ils dirent encore: Allons! Bâtissons-nous une ville et une tour dont le sommet touche au ciel, et faisons-nous un nom, afin que nous ne soyons pas dispersés sur la face de toute la terre.
4They said, “Come, let’s build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top reaches to the sky, and let’s make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad on the surface of the whole earth.”
5L’Éternel descendit pour voir la ville et la tour que bâtissaient les fils des hommes.
5The LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men built.
6Et l’Éternel dit: Voici, ils forment un seul peuple et ont tous une même langue, et c’est là ce qu’ils ont entrepris; maintenant rien ne les empêcherait de faire tout ce qu’ils auraient projeté.
6The LORD said, “Behold, they are one people, and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do. Now nothing will be withheld from them, which they intend to do.
7Allons! Descendons, et là confondons leur langage, afin qu’ils n’entendent plus la langue, les uns des autres.
7Come, let’s go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.”
8Et l’Éternel les dispersa loin de là sur la face de toute la terre; et ils cessèrent de bâtir la ville.
8So the LORD scattered them abroad from there on the surface of all the earth. They stopped building the city.
9C’est pourquoi on l’appela du nom de Babel, car c’est là que l’Éternel confondit le langage de toute la terre, et c’est de là que l’Éternel les dispersa sur la face de toute la terre.
9Therefore its name was called Babel, because there the LORD confused the language of all the earth. From there, the LORD scattered them abroad on the surface of all the earth.
