Und sie sprachen untereinander: Wohlauf, laß uns Ziegel streichen und brennen! und nahmen Ziegel zu Stein und Erdharz zu Kalk
Y dijeron los unos a los otros: Vaya, hagamos ladrillo y cozámoslo con fuego. Y fueles el ladrillo en lugar de piedra, y el betún en lugar de mezcla.
Se dijeron unos a otros: «Vamos, hagamos ladrillos y cozámoslos bien al fuego». Usaron ladrillos en lugar de piedra, y asfalto en lugar de mortero.
Ils se dirent l'un à l'autre: Allons! faisons des briques, et cuisons-les au feu. Et la brique leur servit de pierre, et le bitume leur servit de ciment.
E dissero l’uno all’altro: Or su, facciamo de’ mattoni, e cociamoli col fuoco. I mattoni adunque furono loro in vece di pietre, e il bitume in vece di malta.
E disseram uns aos outros: Eia, façamos tijolos e queimemo-los bem. E foi-lhes o tijolo por pedra, e o betume por cal.
他們彼此商量說:「來,讓我們來做磚,把磚燒透了。」他們就拿磚當石頭,又拿柏油當泥漿。
