WEB World English Bible (clásica, con deuterocanónicos)
1 Now the whole world had one language and a common form of speech.
1 ERA entonces toda la tierra de una lengua y unas mismas palabras.
1 The whole earth was of one language and of one speech.
2 And as people journeyed eastward, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there.
2 Y aconteció que, como se partieron de oriente, hallaron una vega en la tierra de Shinar, y asentaron allí.
2 As they traveled east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they lived there.
3 And they said to one another, “Come, let us make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” So they used brick instead of stone, and tar instead of mortar.
3 Y dijeron los unos á los otros: Vaya, hagamos ladrillo y cozámoslo con fuego. Y fuéles el ladrillo en lugar de piedra, y el betún en lugar de mezcla.
3 They said to one another, “Come, let’s make bricks, and burn them thoroughly.” They had brick for stone, and they used tar for mortar.
4 “Come,” they said, “let us build for ourselves a city with a tower that reaches to the heavens, that we may make a name for ourselves and not be scattered over the face of all the earth.”
4 Y dijeron: Vamos, edifiquémonos una ciudad y una torre, cuya cúspide [llegue] al cielo; y hagámonos un nombre, por si fuéremos esparcidos sobre la faz de toda la tierra.
4 They 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.”
5 Then the LORD came down to see the city and the tower that the sons of men were building.
5 Y descendió Jehová para ver la ciudad y la torre que edificaban los hijos de los hombres.
5 Yahweh came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men built.
6 And the LORD said, “If they have begun to do this as one people speaking the same language, then nothing they devise will be beyond them.
6 Y dijo Jehová: He aquí el pueblo es uno, y todos éstos tienen un lenguaje: y han comenzado á obrar, y nada les retraerá ahora de lo que han pensando hacer.
6 Yahweh 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.
7 Come, let Us go down and confuse their language, so that they will not understand one another’s speech.”
7 Ahora pues, descendamos, y confundamos allí sus lenguas, para que ninguno entienda el habla de su compañero.
7 Come, let’s go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.”
8 So the LORD scattered them from there over the face of all the earth, and they stopped building the city.
8 Así los esparció Jehová desde allí sobre la faz de toda la tierra, y dejaron de edificar la ciudad.
8 So Yahweh scattered them abroad from there on the surface of all the earth. They stopped building the city.
9 That is why it is called Babel, for there the LORD confused the language of the whole world, and from that place the LORD scattered them over the face of all the earth.
9 Por esto fué llamado el nombre de ella Babel, porque allí confundió Jehová el lenguaje de toda la tierra, y desde allí los esparció sobre la faz de toda la tierra.
9 Therefore its name was called Babel, because there Yahweh confused the language of all the earth. From there, Yahweh scattered them abroad on the surface of all the earth.

    Therefore the name of it is called Confusion; because the Lord did there confound the language of all the earth: and the Lord God scattered them thence on the face of all the earth." This city, which was called Confusion, is the same as Babylon, whose wonderful construction Gentile history also notices.

  2. Cita 11:6 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book XVI, Chapters 5–8)

    The words, "Nothing will be restrained from them which they have imagined to do," are assuredly not meant as an affirmation, but as an interrogation, such as is used by persons threatening, as e.g., when Dido exclaims, "They will not take arms and pursue?" We are to understand the words as if it had been said, Shall nothing be restrained …
