    The Tower of Babel

    1  And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
    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.
    3  And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar.
    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.
    5  And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
    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.
    7  Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.
    8  So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.
    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.

    迷惑

    越来越感觉到在现在这个社会生存的困难,不断地看到了说我们国家经济疯狂地好,看到说社会秩序非常地和谐,也不断地看到有人因为股票而跳楼或是找些不相干的人来发泄,看到做生意的人说国家越来越开放生意就越来越难做。可能每个时代总是存在着许许多多的矛盾,不管是不是属于所谓的人民内部的还是所谓敌我之间的。但目前看到的矛盾可能算是前所未有的多,前所未有的尖锐。经济开放的同时带来思想的开放,越来越多的人肆无忌惮地说着自己想说的。前不久看到一些去深圳东部新开发的旅游区玩的人的游记,唯一能让我记住的就是他的感慨,富的人越来越富,穷的人越来越穷。张五常说现在的经济没有泡沫,现在的社会无限美好,贫富差距没有拉大。可我能看到的和张老所说的总有那么点出入,我不知道谁才是对的,或许根本就不存在对的人,这好像也算是一种矛盾的体现了。矛盾不仅在于经济上,还有大家的生活上,天天在网上看到的都是某女大学生被某老板包养这样一类的消息,这样的事情对于我们来说是那么的稀松平常,网上总是有着各种各样光怪陆离的人,做着匪夷所思的事,以致我们的视觉听觉都跟以往很不一样了,对于事情不再是那么地敏感,因为无论什么样的事情都能在网上见到过。网上能出现的事情给我们的感觉就像是突然回到文革时期见到那些难以置信的事。那是一个沸腾的年代,静寂了十多年之后,现在又沸腾了。

    Genesis

    In the beginning of creation, when God made heaven and earth, the earth was without form and void, with darkness over the face of the abyss, and a mighty wind that swept over the surface of the waters. God said, 'Let there be light', and there was light; and God saw that the light was good, and he separated light from darkness. He called the light day, and the darkness night. So evening came, and morning came, the first day.

    God said,
    'Let there be a vault between the waters, to separate water from water.'
    So God made the vault, and separated the water under the vault from the water above it, and so it was; and God called the vault heaven. Evening came, and morning came, a second day.

    God said, '
    Let the waters under heaven be gathered into one place, so that dry land may appear'; and so it was. God called the dry land earth, and the gathering of the waters he called seas; and God saw that it was good. Then God said, 'Let the earth produce fresh growth, let there be on the earth plants bearing seed, fruit-trees bearing fruit each with seed according to its kind.'
    So it was; the earth yielded fresh growth, plants bearing seed according to their kind and trees bearing fruit each with seed according to its kind; and God saw that it was good. Evening came, and morning came, a third day.

    God said, '
    Let there be lights in the vault of heaven to separate day from night, and let them serve as signs both for festivals and for seasons and years. Let them also shine in the vault of heaven to give light on earth.'
    So it was ; God made the two great lights, the greater to govern the day and the lesser to govern the night; and with them he made the stars. God put these lights in the vault of heaven to give light on earth, to govern day and night, and to separate light from darkness; and God saw that it was good. Evening came, and morning came, a fourth day.
    God, said,
    'Let the waters teem with countless living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the vault of heaven.' god then created the great sea-monsters and all living creatures that move and swarm in the waters, according to their kind, and every kind of bird; and God saw that it was good. So he blessed them and said, 'Be fruitful and increase, fill the waters of the seas; and let the birds increase on land.'
    Evening came, and morning came, a fifth day.

    God said, '
    Let the earth bring forth living creatures, according to their kind:cattle, reptiles, and wild animals, all according to their kind.' So it was; God made wild animals, cattle, and all reptiles, each according to its kind; and he saw that it was good. Then God said, 'Let us make man it our image and likeness to rule the fish in the sea , the birds of heaven, the cattle, all wild animals on earth, and all reptiles that crawl upon the earth.' So God created man in his own image; in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. God blessed them and said to them, 'Be fruitful and increase, fill the earth and subdue it, rule over the fish in the sea, the birds of heaven, and every living thing that moves upon the earth.' god also said, 'I give you all plants that bear seed everywhere on earth, and every tree bearing fruit which yields seed:they shall be yours for food. All green plants I give for food to the wild animals, to all the birds of heaven, and to all reptiles on earth, every living creature.'
    So it was; and God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. Evening came, and morning came, a sixth day.

    Thus heaven and earth were completed with al their mighty throng. On the sixth day God completed all the work he had been doing, and on the seventh day he ceased from al his work. God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on that day he ceased from all the work he had set himself to do.

    This is the story of the making of heaven and earth when they were created.
