Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
1Now the whole world had one language and a common form of speech.
1Καὶ ἦν πᾶσα ἡ γῆ χεῖλος ἓν, καὶ φωνὴ μία πᾶσι.
2And as people journeyed eastward, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there.
2Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ κινῆσαι αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ ἀνατολῶν, εὗρον πεδίον ἐν γῇ Σεναὰρ, καὶ κατῴκησαν ἐκεῖ.
3And they said to one another, “Come, let us make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” So they used brick instead of stone, and tar instead of mortar.
3Καὶ 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“Come,” they said, “let us build for ourselves a city with a tower that reaches to the heavens, that we may make a name for ourselves and not be scattered over the face of all the earth.”
4Καὶ 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.
5Then the LORD came down to see the city and the tower that the sons of men were building.
5Καὶ κατέβη Κύριος ἰδεῖν τὴν πόλιν καὶ τὸν πύργον, ὃν ᾠκοδόμησαν οἱ υἱοὶ τῶν ἀνθρώπων.
6And the LORD said, “If they have begun to do this as one people speaking the same language, then nothing they devise will be beyond them.
6Καὶ εἶπε Κύριος, ἰδοὺ γένος ἓν, καὶ χεῖλος ἓν πάντων, καὶ τοῦτο ἤρξαντο ποιῆσαι, καὶ νῦν οὐκ ἐκλείψει ἀπʼ αὐτῶν πάντα ὅσα ἂν ἐπιθῶνται ποιεῖν.
7Come, let Us go down and confuse their language, so that they will not understand one another’s speech.”
7Δεῦτε, καὶ καταβάντες συγχέωμεν αὐτῶν ἐκεῖ τὴν γλῶσσαν, ἵνα μὴ ἀκούσωσιν ἕκαστος τὴν φωνὴν τοῦ πλησίον.
8So the LORD scattered them from there over the face of all the earth, and they stopped building the city.
8Καὶ διέσπειρεν αὐτοὺς Κύριος ἐκεῖθεν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον πάσης τῆς γῆς· καὶ ἐπαύσαντο οἰκοδομοῦντες τῆν πόλιν καὶ τὸν πύργον.
9That is why it is called Babel, for there the LORD confused the language of the whole world, and from that place the LORD scattered them over the face of all the earth.
9Διὰ 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.
10This is the account of Shem. Two years after the flood, when Shem was 100 years old, he became the father of Arphaxad.
10Καὶ αὗται αἱ γενέσεις Σήμ· καὶ ἦν Σὴμ υἱὸς ἑκατὸν ἐτῶν, ὅτε ἐγέννησε τὸν Ἀρφαξὰδ, δευτέρου ἔτους μετὰ τὸν κατακλυσμόν.
11And after he had become the father of Arphaxad, Shem lived 500 years and had other sons and daughters.
11Καὶ ἔζησε Σὴμ, μετὰ τὸ γεννῆσαι αὐτὸν τὸν Ἀρφαξὰδ, ἔτη πεντακόσια, καὶ ἐγέννησεν υἱοὺς καὶ θυγατέρας, καὶ ἀπέθανε.
12When Arphaxad was 35 years old, he became the father of Shelah.
12Καὶ ἔζησεν Ἀρφαξὰδ ἑκατὸν τριακονταπέντε ἔτη, καὶ ἐγέννησε τὸν Καϊνᾶν.
13And after he had become the father of Shelah, Arphaxad lived 403 years and had other sons and daughters.
13Καὶ 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.

16When Eber was 34 years old, he became the father of Peleg.
16Καὶ ἔζησεν Ἕβερ ἑκατὸν τριάκοντα τέσσαρα ἔτη, καὶ ἐγέννησε τὸν Φαλέγ.
17And after he had become the father of Peleg, Eber lived 430 years and had other sons and daughters.
17Καὶ ἔξησεν Ἕβερ, μετὰ τὸ γεννῆσαι αὐτὸν τὸν Φαλὲγ, ἔτη διακόσια ἑβδομήκοντα, καὶ ἐγέννησεν υἱοὺς καὶ θυγατέρας, καὶ ἀπέθανε.
18When Peleg was 30 years old, he became the father of Reu.
18Καὶ ἔζησε Φαλὲγ τριάκοντα καὶ ἑκατὸν ἔτη, καὶ ἐγέννησε τὸν Ῥαγαῦ.
19And after he had become the father of Reu, Peleg lived 209 years and had other sons and daughters.
19Καὶ ἔζησε Φαλὲγ, μετὰ τὸ γεννῆσαι αὐτὸν τὸν Ῥαγαῦ, ἐννέα καὶ διακόσια ἔτη, καὶ ἐγέννησεν υἱοὺς και θυγατέρας, καὶ ἀπέθανε.
20When Reu was 32 years old, he became the father of Serug.
20Καὶ ἔζησε Ῥαγαὺ ἑκατὸν τριάκοντα καὶ δύο ἔτη, καὶ ἐγέννησε τὸν Σερούχ.
21And after he had become the father of Serug, Reu lived 207 years and had other sons and daughters.
21Καὶ ἔζησε Ῥαγαῦ, μετὰ τὸ γεννῆσαι αὐτὸν τὸν Σεροὺχ, διακόσια ἑπτὰ ἔτη, καὶ ἐγέννησεν υἱοὺς καὶ θυγατέρας, καὶ ἀπέθανε.

23Καὶ ἔζησε Σεροὺχ, μετὰ τὸ γεννῆσαι αὐτὸν τὸν Ναχὼρ, ἔτη διακόσια, καὶ ἐγέννησεν υἱοὺς καὶ θυγατέρας, καὶ ἀπέθανε.
24When Nahor was 29 years old, he became the father of Terah.
24Καὶ ἔζησε Ναχὼρ ἔτη ἑκατὸν ἑβδομηκονταεννέα, καὶ ἐγέννησε τὸν Θάῤῥα.
25And after he had become the father of Terah, Nahor lived 119 years and had other sons and daughters.
25Καὶ ἔζησε Ναχὼρ, μετὰ τὸ γεννῆσαι αὐτὸν τὸν Θάῤῥα, ἔτη ἑκατὸν εἰκοσιπὲντε, καὶ ἐγεννησεν υἱοὺς καὶ θυγατέρας, καὶ ἀπέθανε.
26When Terah was 70 years old, he became the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
26Καὶ ἔζησε Θάῤῥα ἑβδομήκοντα ἔτη, καὶ ἐγέννησε τὸν Ἄβραμ, καὶ τὸν Ναχὼρ, καὶ τὸν Ἀῤῥάν.
27This is the account of Terah. Terah became the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran. And Haran became the father of Lot.
27Αὗται δὲ αἱ γενέσεις Θάῤῥα· Θάῤῥα ἐγέννησε τὸν Ἅβραμ, καὶ τὸν Ναχὼρ, καὶ τὸν Ἀῤῥάν· καὶ Ἀῤῥὰν ἐγέννησε τὸν Λώτ.
28During his father Terah’s lifetime, Haran died in his native land, in Ur of the Chaldeans.
28Καὶ ἀπέθανεν Ἀῤῥὰν ἐνώπιον Θάῤῥα τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ γῇ ᾗ ἐγενήθη, ἐν τῇ χώρᾳ τῶν Χαλδαίων.
29And Abram and Nahor took wives for themselves. Abram’s wife was named Sarai, and Nahor’s wife was named Milcah; she was the daughter of Haran, who was the father of both Milcah and Iscah.
29Καὶ 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.
30But Sarai was barren; she had no children.
30Καὶ ἦν Σάρα στεῖρα, καὶ οὐκ ἐτεκνοποίει.
31And Terah took his son Abram, his grandson Lot son of Haran, and his daughter-in-law Sarai the wife of Abram, and they set out from Ur of the Chaldeans for the land of Canaan. But when they arrived in Haran, they settled there.
31Καὶ ἔλαβε Θάῤῥα τὸν Ἅβραμ υἱὸν αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὸν Λὼτ υἱὸν Ἀῤῥάν, υἱὸν τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὴν Σάραν τὴν νύμφην αὐτοῦ, γυναῖκα Ἅβραμ τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐξήγαγεν αὐτοὺς ἐκ τῆς χώρας τῶν Χαλδαίων, πορευθῆναι εἰς γῆν Χαναάν· καὶ ἦλθον ἕως Χαῤῥὰν, καὶ κατῴκησεν ἐκεῖ.
32Terah lived 205 years, and he died in Haran.
32Καὶ ἐγένοντο πᾶσαι αἱ ἡμέραι Θάῤῥα ἐν γῇ Χαῤῥὰν, διακόσια πέντε ἔτη· καὶ ἀπέθανε Θάῤῥα ἐν Χαῤῥάν.
