And they said: “Come! A city and tower let us build so that its head reaches to Heaven. And ourselves let us name, so that we get not throughout the earth our scattering.”
Then they said, “Come, let us build a city for ourselves, with a tower that touches the heavens, that we make a name for ourselves and are not scattered over the face of the entire land.”
And they said to each other: We should make a city that has a tower that reaches to the heavens. And they said to each other: We should make our name so that we do not become scattered far among the world.
Next, they said, “We should build a city and a tower that can go up to the sky so that our name will be remembered before we might be scattered to the entire surface of the world.”
and they said “hey! we’ll build for ourselves a village, and a tower (lit. house of tallness) that its head in the heavens will [be], and we’ll make for ourselves a name—so that we will not be scattered over the surface of the entire land.”
And said they, “Onward! Let’s for ourselves a city build and a tower, which it the head of in the clouds will be, and at that time, we for ourselves famous reputations will have, lest we should be scattered throughout the whole Earth the face of.”
person many say this: o come! we many o work earth build building long object tall, head belonging to long object in above air o name belonging to we many come big! we want not this: we many possible not we many in land all.
Then they said let’s make a town and a tower with its top part in the sky thereby potentially gaining notoriety and respect for ourselves lest we end up scattered across the face of this world.
