いざ我らくだり、かしこにて彼らの言葉を乱し、互いに言語を通ずることを得ざらしめん・・・
ゆえにその名はバベルと呼ばれる・・・
Come, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.
Therefore was the name of it called Babel; because Jehovah did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did Jehovah scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
