"The Talking Rock" Yesterday I was walking along the beach when I tripped over a rock that could talk. I picked up the talking rock and said, "Hey! Are you a talking rock?" The talking rock said, "Yes, I am a talking rock." I asked the talking rock, "Why didn't you tell me to avoid you?" The talking rock replied, "Because I'm a mean talking rock."

And all the earth had one language and one tongue. And it came about that in their wandering from the east, they came to a stretch of flat country in the land of Shinar, and there they made their living-place. And they said one to another, Come, let us make bricks, burning them well. And they had bricks for stone, putting them together with sticky earth. And they said, Come, let us make a town, and a tower whose top will go up as high as heaven; and let us make a great name for ourselves, so that we may not be wanderers over the face of the earth. And the Lord came down to see the town and the tower which the children of men were building. And the Lord said, See, they are all one people and have all one language; and this is only the start of what they may do: and now it will not be possible to keep them from any purpose of theirs. Come, let us go down and take away the sense of their language, so that they will not be able to make themselves clear to one another. So the Lord God sent them away into every part of the earth: and they gave up building their town. So it was named Babel, because there the Lord took away the sense of all languages and from there the Lord sent them away over all the face of the earth.

Ta hat bi, hat hozreh re ben ez bez Babel; Ta Adim hatwai madoz toizat itak re nuzh fohiz res bi hatwai en toizat zab zat.

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.

Ta hat, Adim fohiz res bi hatwai en toizat zab zat, es res haz nu teuz hat kinizh

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

Tok! hatiz ur dik, es hatwai madoz res nuzh, en hat bak res nu ubnez muis nuzh.

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

Adim nuz "hoz! hat itak hito, zab itak nom hi nuzh; es res hi muz hat rih, un nure has hum res muz res esu muz tak re rih."

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.

Adim dik tok no hat itak dazro teuz bi hat kinizh es hat hozreh.

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

res muis nuz "tok, hatiz ur teuz hi kinizh es hi hozreh, hat hozreh we tok toi, es hatiz ur kium to hi ben, bar ur muis haz ez fohiz en zab toizat.

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.

res muis nuz "tok, hatiz ur es wa teuz duzmeh hu enu res", es res nom duzmeh nai tom, nom duzhiru nai rairu.

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

res muz bi kezhar re chin, wai res en Shinar wai no hi koria es ya hatwai.

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.

zab toizat re hi nuzh-rira es hi nuz-ub-rira.

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

會說話的石頭 昨天當我踢到一顆能講話的石頭時，我正走在沙灘上。我撿起那顆石頭並說道：「嘿！你是顆會說話的石頭嗎？」 那顆會說話的石頭說道：「是啊，我是顆會說話的石頭。」 我問那顆石頭道：「那為什麼你不叫我避開你？」 那顆石頭說道：「因為我是顆賤石頭啊！」 那顆石頭的話惹火了我，因此我將它丟入海中。之後我沒有再看到那顆石頭。
