又曰、我其築城與臺、臺頂及天、以揚我名、庶免散於四方、

又曰、我儕當建城與臺、臺頂高及天、藉以揚我名、以免散於天下、

Then they said,“ Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves; otherwise we will be scattered over the face of the whole earth.”

Then they said,“ Come on! Let’s build a city for ourselves. Let’s build a tower that reaches to the sky. We’ll make a name for ourselves. Then we won’t be scattered over the whole earth.”

Then they said,“ Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be dispersed over the face of the whole earth.”

Then they said,“ Come, let’s build a great city for ourselves with a tower that reaches into the sky. This will make us famous and keep us from being scattered all over the world.”

And they said,“ Come, let’s build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the sky. Let’s make a name for ourselves; otherwise, we will be scattered throughout the earth.”

And they said,“ Come, let’s build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top will reach into heaven, and let’s make a name for ourselves; otherwise we will be scattered abroad over the face of all the earth.”

And they said,“ Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top is in the heavens; let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth.”

我同儕使我喪膽、言斯土之民較我軀幹雄偉、城垣廣大、高可參天、在彼有亞納子、我何能往。

爾曹互相求榮、不求獨由上帝來之榮、豈能信乎、

其施厥臂力、於心志驕者、滅之、

大闢在鹽谷、殺以東人一萬八千、播揚其名、然後旋軍、

自謂此非巴比倫大城、我所建造者乎、我以之為國都、顯我能、彰我榮、

以色列族、尚其聽之、今日爾渡約但、有較爾強大之民、其城垣廣大、高可參天、爾將得之。

生長堅剛、高凌霄漢、天下之人、皆得仰而見之、

爾敵必亡、惡人離散兮、

義者聲名、流芳弗替、惡者姓氏、遺臭無窮。

揣彼之心、意謂家必恆存、室可垂後、聲名揚於寰宇兮、人爵雖顯、不得永存、猶禽獸之速亡兮。世人所為、不智孰甚、後人效之兮、

遂散之四方、於是罷築城之役。緣耶和華淆億兆之言語、散之四方、故名其邑曰巴別。

斯樹即王、爾既長大、堅剛無比、高大及乎九宵、權能延乎四極、

當時有偉丈夫在世、緣上帝子與世人女同室、育此英武、亙古以來、聲名夙著。○

耶和華必散爾於四方、所遺於列國者、亦已無幾、
