Literature:The Tower of Babel

The Tower of Babel is a creation text from the Book of Genesis (also known as "In the beginning") as the first installment of the Tanach in Judaism and the Old Testament in Christianity, detailing an origin myth providing a rationale for why the various peoples of the world speak such diverse languages.

The text has become a popular translation reference for many Conlangs, being one of the first texts to be translated across various Conlangs, the story itself being a story of language-invention, a story inspirational yet familiar to many conlangers/conlinguists, and, like the first (1st) article of The Universal Declaration of Human Riğts and The Internationale, has become a famous text translated into a significant portion of the languages of Earth.

The Tower of Babel

• The Tower of Babel/Fén Ghír

English

King James Version (1611)

1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.

2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.

3 And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar.

4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto Heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.

5 And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men built.

6 And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.

7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.

8 So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.

9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the Lord did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the Lord scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.

1. Alle mennesken hadden ðe same språke and broukten ðe samen wørde.

2. Als si fråm ðet oost upbraken, fanden si eene flæke in ðet land Skinar und setelden sig ðaran.

3. Si sagden to eenanðer: Up, lat uns leemtigel hywen, and hit to baksteen brennen. So hadden si gebrande tigelen als steen and slijm als morter.

4. Ðan sagden si: Up, lat uns een stad uns bylden, and een toren, ðesse top hevene reeken mag, and lat uns ðarmid een name uns maken, ðarður skullen wi neet over ðe gante erþe geskaterd beun.

5. And ðar steeg ðe Herr af, um ðe stad and ðe toren te seen, ðe ðe kindere ðer mennesken buldten.

6. And ðe Herr sagde: Seet, ðet folk is een, and eene språke haven si alle. And ðis beginnen si te doon. Nou skall him neets meer unreekbar wesen, hwelk si sig undertaken.

7. Up, lat uns afstijgen, and ðar here språke forwirren, soðat neene meer ðe språke ðes anðeren forståt.

8 So skaterde ðe Herr hir ðarfråm over ðe gante erþe, and si leften up, ðe stad te bylden.

9. Ðarum was ðe stad Babel genand, ðee ðar forwirrde ðe Herr ðe språke aller werld, and ðarfråm skaterde hi ðe mennesken over ðe gante erþe.

Celecna Babeli

1. Alla l’aerþa rogiavat la samna rasda ed usavat atha samno vaurdo.
2. Sic dirigendu du l’Orienti, i manni capitarondo aena pianizie nal lando Scineari, e þar bauvarondo.
3. Sic roðirondo l’aeno anþera: “Qemate, taugiamos scaglias cottas la fona.” Operarondo scagliam anzicê staenam, e bitumivo invece di calcivo.
4. Poi roðirondo: “Qemate, construiamos unsis aeno stade, ed aena celecna, cogia la cima giuggat l’hemeno; aqqistiamos unsis fama, affincê non ismos dispersi sul vleto alle l’aerþe.”
5. Il Signiore discendaet faur saecare lo stade e la celecna ei, i figli mannoro construivando.
6. Il Signiore roðit: “Ecco, sondo aena sola þiudana e hondo alli aena rasda sola; giaeno ist atha principio gli seini lavori; hora nulla analazzirât eis di conducere ei, þatha intendondo taugiare.
7. Scendiamos dugqe e confondiamos la seina rasda, faurcê l’aeno non vetarât la rasda deï anþeri.”
8. Sva il Signiore eis dispersaet di þar su allo lo vleto l’aerþe ed eis cessarondo di construire lo stade.
9. Dugqe a giaena gevada latha namno di Babeli, faurcê þar il Signiore confusaet la rasda alle l’aerþe e þaþro dispersaet su allo lo vleto l’aerþe.

Notes

() - things i'm unsure of; {} are my additions for clarity

bô; both-ly; both to both; this may be incorrect but it was the best solution i found for Gothic '𐌼𐌹𐍃𐍃𐍉' (wiktionary didn't have the etymology) þōz; Genuinely can't tell if this is Nom or Acc, went with Acc to match the part before the comma, may be wrong, Nom would be þôz. timrijanan: this takes place of Gothic '𐌲𐌰𐍄𐌹𐌼𐍂𐌾𐍉', which is the noun 'building', here I used the infinitive form of the root verb to mean 'to build', the Gothic translation I'm using as a base does this so I assume it's fine here, but just in case, I have marked it as unsure. babel; I can't tell what case this should be in, the Gothic form appears to lack case since it's a non IE loan word, I'm not a Gothic expert so I don't know how that works, I simply loaned it in the same form the Gothic used just adjusted for phonology.

1: Wiktionary doesn't have anything I could find for '𐌱𐍂𐌰𐍃𐍉𐌽', so I assumed this was burn and translated it with third plural imperative. 2: uses '-nanan' to make verbs meaning 'to become [base]'; hlūdnaim 'let us become famous', in place of Gothic '𐌷𐌻𐌿𐌳𐌰𐌼 𐍅𐌰𐌹𐍂𐌸𐌰𐌹𐌼𐌰'; ungalīknaim 'should (or lest) we become different' in place of Gothic '𐌼𐌴𐍂𐌾𐌰𐌹𐌼𐌰' 3: I'm mostly sure this is in the accusative, I'm not sure why the dative isn't used in the base I'm using, that feels more appropriate, the dative would be 'allaizōi erþōi'
