| 1 | And the earth was of one tongue, and of the same speech. | Erat autem terra labii unius, et sermonum eorumdem. | Καὶ ἦν πᾶσα ἡ γῆ χεῖλος ἓν, καὶ φωνὴ μία πᾶσι. |
| 2 | And when they removed from the east, they found a plain in the land of Sennaar, and dwelt in it. | Cumque proficiscerentur de oriente, invenerunt campum in terra Sennaar, et habitaverunt in eo. | Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ κινῆσαι αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ ἀνατολῶν, εὗρον πεδίον ἐν γῇ Σεναὰρ, καὶ κατῴκησαν ἐκεῖ. |
| 3 | And each one said to his neighbour: Come, let us make brick, and bake them with fire. And they had brick instead of stones, and slime instead of mortar. | Dixitque alter ad proximum suum: Venite, faciamus lateres, et coquamus eos igni. Habueruntque lateres pro saxis, et bitumen pro caemento: | Καὶ εἶπεν ἄνθρωπος τῷ πλησίον αὐτοῦ, δεῦτε πλινθεύσωμεν πλίνθους, καὶ ὀπτήσωμεν αὐτὰς πυρί· καὶ ἐγένετο αὐτοῖς ἡ πλίνθος εἰς λίθον, καὶ ἄσφαλτος ἦν αὐτοῖς ὁ πηλός. |
| 4 | And they said: Come, let us make a city and a tower, the top whereof may reach to heaven: and let us make our name famous before we be scattered abroad into all lands. | et dixerunt: Venite, faciamus nobis civitatem et turrim, cuius culmen pertingat ad caelum: et celebremus nomen nostrum antequam dividamur in universas terras. | Καὶ εἶπαν, δεῦτε οἰκοδομήσωμεν ἑαυτοῖς πόλιν καὶ πύργον, οὗ ἔσται ἡ κεφαλὴ ἕως τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, καὶ ποιήσωμεν ἑαυτοῖς ὄνομα, πρὸ τοῦ διασπαρῆναι ἡμᾶς ἐπὶ προσώπου πάσης τῆς γῆς. |
| 5 | And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of Adam were building. | Descendit autem Dominus ut videret civitatem et turrim, quam aedificabant filii Adam, | Καὶ κατέβη Κύριος ἰδεῖν τὴν πόλιν καὶ τὸν πύργον, ὃν ᾠκοδόμησαν οἱ υἱοὶ τῶν ἀνθρώπων. |
| 6 | And he said: Behold, it is one people, and all have one tongue: and they have begun to do this, neither will they leave off from their designs, till they accomplish them in deed. | et dixit: Ecce, unus est populus, et unum labium omnibus: coeperuntque hoc facere, nec desistent a cogitationibus suis, donec eas opere compleant. | Καὶ εἶπε Κύριος, ἰδοὺ γένος ἓν, καὶ χεῖλος ἓν πάντων, καὶ τοῦτο ἤρξαντο ποιῆσαι, καὶ νῦν οὐκ ἐκλείψει ἀπʼ αὐτῶν πάντα ὅσα ἂν ἐπιθῶνται ποιεῖν. |
| 7 | Come ye, therefore, let us go down, and there confound their tongue, that they may not understand one another’s speech. | Venite igitur, descendamus, et confundamus ibi linguam eorum, ut non audiat unusquisque vocem proximi sui. | Δεῦτε, καὶ καταβάντες συγχέωμεν αὐτῶν ἐκεῖ τὴν γλῶσσαν, ἵνα μὴ ἀκούσωσιν ἕκαστος τὴν φωνὴν τοῦ πλησίον. |
| 8 | And so the Lord scattered them from that place into all lands, and they ceased to build the city. | Atque ita divisit eos Dominus ex illo loco in universas terras, et cessaverunt aedificare civitatem. | Καὶ διέσπειρεν αὐτοὺς Κύριος ἐκεῖθεν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον πάσης τῆς γῆς· καὶ ἐπαύσαντο οἰκοδομοῦντες τῆν πόλιν καὶ τὸν πύργον. |
| 9 | And therefore the name thereof was called Babel, because there the language of the whole earth was confounded: and from thence the Lord scattered them abroad upon the face of all countries. | Et idcirco vocatum est nomen eius Babel, quia ibi confusum est labium universae terrae: et inde dispersit eos Dominus super faciem cunctarum regionum. | Διὰ τοῦτο ἐκλήθη τὸ ὄνομα αὐτῆς, Σύγχυσις, ὅτι ἐκεῖ συνέχεε Κύριος τὰ χείλη πάσης τῆς γῆς, καὶ ἐκεῖθεν διέσπειρεν αὐτοὺς Κύριος ἐπὶ πρόσωπον πάσης τῆς γῆς. |
| 10 | These are the generations of Sem: Sem was a hundred years old when he begot Arphaxad, two years after the flood. | Hae sunt generationes Sem: Sem erat centum annorum quando genuit Arphaxad, biennio post diluvium. | Καὶ αὗται αἱ γενέσεις Σήμ· καὶ ἦν Σὴμ υἱὸς ἑκατὸν ἐτῶν, ὅτε ἐγέννησε τὸν Ἀρφαξὰδ, δευτέρου ἔτους μετὰ τὸν κατακλυσμόν. |

| 12 | And Arphaxad lived thirty-five years, and begot Sale. | Porro Arphaxad vixit triginta quinque annis, et genuit Sale. | Καὶ ἔζησεν Ἀρφαξὰδ ἑκατὸν τριακονταπέντε ἔτη, καὶ ἐγέννησε τὸν Καϊνᾶν. |
| 13 | And Arphaxad lived after he begot Sale, three hundred and three years; and begot sons and daughters. | Vixitque Arphaxad, postquam genuit Sale, trecentis tribus annis: et genuit filios et filias. | Καὶ ἔζησεν Ἀρφαξὰδ, μετὰ τὸ γεννῆσαι αὐτὸν τὸν Καϊνᾶν, ἔτη τετρακόσια, καὶ ἐγέννησεν υἱοὺς καὶ θυγατέρας, καὶ ἀπέθανε. Καὶ ἔζησε Καϊνᾶν ἑκατὸν καὶ τριάκοντα ἔτη, καὶ ἐγέννησε τὸν Σαλά· καὶ ἔξησε Καϊνᾶν, μετὰ τὸ γεννῆσαι αὐτὸν τὸν Σαλὰ, ἔτη τριακόσια τριάκοντα, καὶ ἐγέννησεν υἱοὺς καὶ θυγατέρας, καὶ ἀπέθανε. |
| 14 | Sale also lived thirty years, and begot Heber. | Sale quoque vixit triginta annis, et genuit Heber. | Καὶ ἔζησε Σαλὰ ἑκατὸν τριάκοντα ἔτη, καὶ ἐγέννησε τὸν Ἕβερ. |
| 15 | And Sale lived after he begot Heber, four hundred and three years; and begot sons and daughters. | Vixitque Sale, postquam genuit Heber, quadringentis tribus annis: et genuit filios et filias. | Καὶ ἔζησε Σαλὰ μετὰ τὸ γεννῆσαι αὐτὸν τὸν Ἕβερ, τριακόσια τριάκοντα ἔτη, καὶ ἐγέννησεν υἱοὺς καὶ θυγατέρας· καὶ ἀπέθανε. |
| 16 | And Heber lived thirty-four years, and begot Phaleg. | Vixit autem Heber triginta quatuor annis, et genuit Phaleg. | Καὶ ἔζησεν Ἕβερ ἑκατὸν τριάκοντα τέσσαρα ἔτη, καὶ ἐγέννησε τὸν Φαλέγ. |
| 17 | And Heber lived after he begot Phaleg, four hundred and thirty years: and begot sons and daughters. | Et vixit Heber postquam genuit Phaleg, quadringentis triginta annis: et genuit filios et filias. | Καὶ ἔξησεν Ἕβερ, μετὰ τὸ γεννῆσαι αὐτὸν τὸν Φαλὲγ, ἔτη διακόσια ἑβδομήκοντα, καὶ ἐγέννησεν υἱοὺς καὶ θυγατέρας, καὶ ἀπέθανε. |
| 18 | Phaleg also lived thirty years, and begot Reu. | Vixit quoque Phaleg triginta annis, et genuit Reu. | Καὶ ἔζησε Φαλὲγ τριάκοντα καὶ ἑκατὸν ἔτη, καὶ ἐγέννησε τὸν Ῥαγαῦ. |
| 19 | And Phaleg lived after he begot Reu, two hundred and nine years, and begot sons and daughters. | Vixitque Phaleg, postquam genuit Reu, ducentis novem annis: et genuit filios et filias. | Καὶ ἔζησε Φαλὲγ, μετὰ τὸ γεννῆσαι αὐτὸν τὸν Ῥαγαῦ, ἐννέα καὶ διακόσια ἔτη, καὶ ἐγέννησεν υἱοὺς και θυγατέρας, καὶ ἀπέθανε. |
| 20 | And Reu lived thirty-two years, and begot Sarug. | Vixit autem Reu triginta duobus annis, et genuit Sarug. | Καὶ ἔζησε Ῥαγαὺ ἑκατὸν τριάκοντα καὶ δύο ἔτη, καὶ ἐγέννησε τὸν Σερούχ. |
| 21 | And Reu lived after he begot Sarug, two hundred and seven years, and begot sons and daughters. | Vixit quoque Reu, postquam genuit Sarug, ducentis septem annis: et genuit filios et filias. | Καὶ ἔζησε Ῥαγαῦ, μετὰ τὸ γεννῆσαι αὐτὸν τὸν Σεροὺχ, διακόσια ἑπτὰ ἔτη, καὶ ἐγέννησεν υἱοὺς καὶ θυγατέρας, καὶ ἀπέθανε. |
| 22 | And Sarug lived thirty years, and begot Nachor. | Vixit vero Sarug triginta annis, et genuit Nachor. | Καὶ ἔζησε Σεροὺχ ἑκατὸν τριάκοντα ἔτη, καὶ ἐγέννησε τὸν Ναχώρ. |
| 23 | And Sarug lived after he begot Nachor, two hundred years: and begot sons and daughters. | Vixitque Sarug, postquam genuit Nachor, ducentis annis: et genuit filios et filias. | Καὶ ἔζησε Σεροὺχ, μετὰ τὸ γεννῆσαι αὐτὸν τὸν Ναχὼρ, ἔτη διακόσια, καὶ ἐγέννησεν υἱοὺς καὶ θυγατέρας, καὶ ἀπέθανε. |
| 24 | And Nachor lived nine and twenty years, and begot Thare. | Vixit autem Nachor viginti novem annis, et genuit Thare. | Καὶ ἔζησε Ναχὼρ ἔτη ἑκατὸν ἑβδομηκονταεννέα, καὶ ἐγέννησε τὸν Θάῤῥα. |
| 25 | And Nachor lived after he begot Thare, a hundred and nineteen years: and begot sons and daughters. | Vixitque Nachor, postquam genuit Thare, centum decem et novem annis: et genuit filios et filias. | Καὶ ἔζησε Ναχὼρ, μετὰ τὸ γεννῆσαι αὐτὸν τὸν Θάῤῥα, ἔτη ἑκατὸν εἰκοσιπὲντε, καὶ ἐγεννησεν υἱοὺς καὶ θυγατέρας, καὶ ἀπέθανε. |
| 26 | And Thare lived seventy years, and begot Abram, and Nachor, and Aran. | Vixitque Thare septuaginta annis, et genuit Abram, et Nachor, et Aran. | Καὶ ἔζησε Θάῤῥα ἑβδομήκοντα ἔτη, καὶ ἐγέννησε τὸν Ἄβραμ, καὶ τὸν Ναχὼρ, καὶ τὸν Ἀῤῥάν. |
| 27 | And these are the generations of Thare: Thare begot Abram, Nachor, and Aran. And Aran begot Lot. | Hae sunt autem generationes Thare: Thare genuit Abram, Nachor et Aran. Porro Aran genuit Lot. | Αὗται δὲ αἱ γενέσεις Θάῤῥα· Θάῤῥα ἐγέννησε τὸν Ἅβραμ, καὶ τὸν Ναχὼρ, καὶ τὸν Ἀῤῥάν· καὶ Ἀῤῥὰν ἐγέννησε τὸν Λώτ. |
| 28 | And Aran died before Thare his father, in the land of his nativity in Ur of the Chaldees. | Mortuusque est Aran ante Thare patrem suum, in terra nativitatis suae, in Ur Chaldaeorum. | Καὶ ἀπέθανεν Ἀῤῥὰν ἐνώπιον Θάῤῥα τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ γῇ ᾗ ἐγενήθη, ἐν τῇ χώρᾳ τῶν Χαλδαίων. |
| 29 | And Abram and Nachor married wives: the name of Abram’s wife was Sarai: and the name of Nachor’s wife, Melcha, the daughter of Aran, father of Melcha, and father of Jescha. | Duxerunt autem Abram et Nachor uxores: nomen uxoris Abram, Sarai: et nomen uxoris Nachor, Melcha filia Aran, patris Melchae, et patris Ieschae. | Καὶ ἔλαβον Ἅβραμ καὶ Ναχὼρ ἑαυτοῖς γυναῖκας· ὄνομα τῇ γυναικὶ Ἅβραμ, Σάρα, καὶ ὄνομα τῇ γυναικὶ Ναχὼρ, Μελχά, θυγάτηρ Ἀῤῥάν· καὶ πατὴρ Μελχὰ, καὶ πατὴρ Ἰεσχά. |

| 32 | And the days of Thare were two hundred and five years, and he died in Haran. | Et facti sunt dies Thare ducentorum quinque annorum, et mortuus est in Haran. | Καὶ ἐγένοντο πᾶσαι αἱ ἡμέραι Θάῤῥα ἐν γῇ Χαῤῥὰν, διακόσια πέντε ἔτη· καὶ ἀπέθανε Θάῤῥα ἐν Χαῤῥάν. |
