Now God, angered at this attempt to usurp his power, destroyed the tower, and then to ensure that it would never be rebuilt, he scattered the people by giving them different languages -- confused them by giving them different languages.
Gud - vred over dette forsøg på at tilrane sig hans magt - ødelagde nu tårnet. Og for så at sikre sig, at det aldrig ville blive genopbygget, delte han folket ved at tildele dem forskellige sprog, forvirrede dem ved at give dem forskellige sprog.
