Genesis 11
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1And the whole earth was of one language and of one speech.
1ΚΑΙ ἦν πᾶσα ἡ γῆ χεῖλος ἕν, καὶ φωνὴ μία πᾶσι.
2And it came to pass, as they journeyed east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.
2καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ κινῆσαι αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ ἀνατολῶν, εὗρον πεδίον ἐν γῇ Σενναὰρ καὶ κατῴκησαν ἐκεῖ.
3And they said one to another: 'Come, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly.' And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for 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.
4And they said: 'Come, let us build us a city, and a tower, with its top in heaven, and let us make us a name; lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole 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.
5And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
5καὶ κατέβη Κύριος ἰδεῖν τὴν πόλιν καὶ τὸν πύργον, ὃν ᾠκοδόμησαν οἱ υἱοὶ τῶν ἀνθρώπων.
6And the LORD said: 'Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language; and this is what they begin to do; and now nothing will be withholden from them, which they purpose to do.
6καὶ εἶπε Κύριος· ἰδοὺ γένος ἓν καὶ χεῖλος ἓν πάντων, καὶ τοῦτο ἤρξαντο ποιῆσαι, καὶ νῦν οὐκ ἐκλείψει ἀπ᾿ αὐτῶν πάντα, ὅσα ἂν ἐπιθῶνται ποιεῖν.
7Come, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may 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 abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth; and they left off to build the city.
8καὶ διέσπειρεν αὐτοὺς Κύριος ἐκεῖθεν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον πάσης τῆς γῆς, καὶ ἐπαύσαντο οἰκοδομοῦντες τὴν πόλιν καὶ τὸν πύργον.
9Therefore was 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.
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.
10These are the generations of Shem. Shem was a hundred years old, and begot Arpachshad two years after the flood.
10Καὶ αὗται αἱ γενέσεις Σήμ. καί ἦν Σὴμ υἱὸς ἑκατὸν ἐτῶν, ὅτε ἐγέννησε τὸν Ἀρφαξάδ, δευτέρου ἔτους μετὰ τὸν κατακλυσμόν.
11And Shem lived after he begot Arpachshad five hundred years, and begot sons and daughters.
11καὶ ἔζησε Σὴμ μετὰ τὸ γεννῆσαι αὐτὸν τὸν Ἀρφαξὰδ ἔτη πεντακόσια καὶ ἐγέννησεν υἱοὺς καὶ θυγατέρας καὶ ἀπέθανε.
12And Arpachshad lived five and thirty years, and begot Shelah.

13And Arpachshad lived after he begot Shelah four hundred and three years, and begot 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 ἔζησε Καϊνᾶν μετὰ τὸ γεννῆσαι αὐτὸν τόν Σαλὰ ἔτη τριακόσια τριάκοντα καὶ ἐγέννησεν υἱοὺς καὶ θυγατέρας καὶ ἀπέθανε.

17καί ἔζησεν ¨Εβερ μετὰ τὸ γεννῆσαι αὐτὸν τὸν Φαλὲγ ἔτη διακόσια ἑβδομήκοντα καὶ ἐγέννησεν υἱοὺς καὶ θυγατέρας καὶ ἀπέθανε.
18And Peleg lived thirty years, and begot Reu.

19καὶ ἔζησε Φαλὲγ μετὰ τὸ γεννῆσαι αὐτὸν τὸν Ραγαῦ ἐννέα καὶ διακόσια ἔτη καὶ ἐγέννησεν υἱούς καὶ θυγατέρας καὶ ἀπέθανε.
20And Reu lived two and thirty years, and begot Serug.
20Καὶ ἔζησε Ραγαῦ ἑκατὸν τριάκοντα καὶ δύο ἔτη καὶ ἐγέννησε τὸν Σερούχ.
21And Reu lived after he begot Serug two hundred and seven years, and begot sons and daughters.
21καὶ ἔζησε Ραγαῦ μετὰ τὸ γεννῆσαι αὐτὸν τὸν Σεροὺχ διακόσια ἑπτὰ ἔτη καὶ ἐγέννησεν υἱοὺς καὶ θυγατέρας καὶ ἀπέθανε.

24And Nahor lived nine and twenty years, and begot Terah.
24Καὶ ἔζησε Ναχὼρ ἔτη ἑκατὸν ἑβδομήκοντα ἐννέα καὶ ἐγέννησε τὸν Θάρα.
25And Nahor lived after he begot Terah a hundred and nineteen years, and begot sons and daughters.
25καὶ ἔζησε Ναχώρ, μετὰ τὸ γεννῆσαι αὐτὸν τὸν Θάρα, ἔτη ἑκατὸν εἰκοσιπέντε καὶ ἐγέννησεν υἱοὺς καὶ θυγατέρας καὶ ἀπέθανε.
26And Terah lived seventy years, and begot Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
26Καὶ ἔζησε Θάρα ἑβδομήκοντα ἔτη καὶ ἐγέννησε τὸν ¨Αβραμ καὶ τὸν Ναχὼρ καὶ τὸν Ἀρράν.
27Now these are the generations of Terah. Terah begot Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begot Lot.
27Αὗται αἱ γενέσεις Θάρα· Θάρα ἐγέννησε τὸν ¨Αβραμ καὶ τὸν Ναχὼρ καὶ τὸν Ἀρράν, καὶ Ἀρρὰν ἐγέννησε τὸν Λώτ.
28And Haran died in the presence of his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees.
28καὶ ἀπέθανεν Ἀρρὰν ἐνώπιον Θάρα τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ γῇ, ᾗ ἐγεννήθη, ἐν τῇ χώρᾳ τῶν Χαλδαίων.
29And Abram and Nahor took them wives: the name of Abram's wife was Sarai; and the name of Nahor's wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah.
29καὶ ἔλαβον ¨Αβραμ καὶ Ναχὼρ ἑαυτοῖς γυναῖκας· ὄνομα τῇ γυναικὶ ¨Αβραμ Σάρα, καὶ ὄνομα τῇ γυναικὶ Ναχὼρ Μελχά, θυγάτηρ Ἀρρὰν καὶ πατὴρ Μελχὰ καὶ πατὴρ Ἰεσχά.
30And Sarai was barren; she had no child.
30καὶ ἦν Σάρα στεῖρα καὶ οὐκ ἐτεκνοποίει.
31And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran, his son's son, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram's wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Haran, and dwelt there.
31καὶ ἔλαβε Θάρα τὸν ¨Αβραμ υἱὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ τὸν Λὼτ υἱὸν Ἀρράν, υἱὸν τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὴν Σάραν τὴν νύμφην αὐτοῦ, γυναῖκα ¨Αβραμ τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐξήγαγεν αὐτοὺς ἐκ τῆς χώρας τῶν Χαλδαίων πορευθῆναι εἰς γῆν Χαναὰν καὶ ἦλθον ἕως Χαρρὰν καὶ κατῴκησεν ἐκεῖ.
32And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years; and Terah died in Haran.
32καὶ ἐγένοντο πᾶσαι αἱ ἡμέραι Θάρα ἐν γῇ Χαρρὰν διακόσια πέντε ἔτη, καὶ ἀπέθανε Θάρα ἐν Χαρράν.
