Genesis 11

AND all the earth was one lip, and there was one language to all.

ΚΑΙ ἦν πᾶσα ἡ γῆ χεῖλος ἕν, καὶ φωνὴ μία πᾶσι.

And it came to pass as they moved from the east, they found a plain in the land of Senaar, and they dwelt there.

καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ κινῆσαι αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ ἀνατολῶν, εὗρον πεδίον ἐν γῇ Σενναὰρ καὶ κατῴκησαν ἐκεῖ.

And a man said to his neighbour, Come, let us make bricks and bake them with fire. And the brick was to them for stone, and their mortar was bitumen.

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.

And they said, Come, let us build to ourselves a city and tower, whose top shall be to heaven, and let us make to ourselves a name, before we are scattered abroad upon the face of all the earth.

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.

And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the sons of men built.

καὶ κατέβη Κύριος ἰδεῖν τὴν πόλιν καὶ τὸν πύργον, ὃν ᾠκοδόμησαν οἱ υἱοὶ τῶν ἀνθρώπων.

And the Lord said, Behold, [there is] one race, and one lip of all, and they have begun to do this, and now nothing shall fail from them of all that they may have undertaken to do.

καὶ εἶπε Κύριος· ἰδοὺ γένος ἓν καὶ χεῖλος ἓν πάντων, καὶ τοῦτο ἤρξαντο ποιῆσαι, καὶ νῦν οὐκ ἐκλείψει ἀπ᾿ αὐτῶν πάντα, ὅσα ἂν ἐπιθῶνται ποιεῖν.

Come, and having gone down let us there confound their tongue, that they may not understand each the voice of his neighbour.

δεῦτε καὶ καταβάντες συγχέωμεν αὐτῶν ἐκεῖ τὴν γλῶσσαν, ἵνα μὴ ἀκούσωσιν ἕκαστος τὴν φωνὴν τοῦ πλησίον.

And the Lord scattered them thence over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city and the tower.

καὶ διέσπειρεν αὐτοὺς Κύριος ἐκεῖθεν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον πάσης τῆς γῆς, καὶ ἐπαύσαντο οἰκοδομοῦντες τὴν πόλιν καὶ τὸν πύργον.

On this account its name was called Confusion, because there the Lord confounded the languages of all the earth, and thence the Lord scattered them upon the face of all the earth.

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.

And these [are] the generations of Sem: and Sem was a hundred years old when he begot Arphaxad, the second year after the flood.

Καὶ αὗται αἱ γενέσεις Σήμ. καί ἦν Σὴμ υἱὸς ἑκατὸν ἐτῶν, ὅτε ἐγέννησε τὸν ᾿Αρφαξάδ, δευτέρου ἔτους μετὰ τὸν κατακλυσμόν.

And Sem lived, after he had begotten Arphaxad, five hundred years, and begot sons and daughters, and died.

καὶ ἔζησε Σὴμ μετὰ τὸ γεννῆσαι αὐτὸν τὸν ᾿Αρφαξὰδ ἔτη πεντακόσια καὶ ἐγέννησεν υἱοὺς καὶ θυγατέρας καὶ ἀπέθανε.

And Arphaxad lived a hundred and thirty-five years, and begot Cainan.

καὶ ἔζησεν ᾿Αρφαξὰδ 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.

Καὶ ἔζησεν ῞Εβερ ἑκατὸν τριάκοντα τέσσαρα ἔτη καὶ ἐγέννησε τὸν Φαλέγ.

And Heber lived after he had begotten Phaleg two hundred and seventy years, and begot sons and daughters, and died.

καὶ ἔζησεν ῞Εβερ μετὰ τὸ γεννῆσαι αὐτὸν τὸν Φαλὲγ ἔτη διακόσια ἑβδομήκοντα καὶ ἐγέννησεν υἱοὺς καὶ θυγατέρας καὶ ἀπέθανε.

And Phaleg lived and hundred and thirty years, and begot Ragau.

Καὶ ἔζησε Φαλὲγ τριάκοντα καὶ ἑκατὸν ἔτη καὶ ἐγέννησε τὸν Ραγαῦ.

And Phaleg lived after he had begotten Ragau, two hundred and nine years, and begot sons and daughters, and died.

καὶ ἔζησε Φαλὲγ μετὰ τὸ γεννῆσαι αὐτὸν τὸν Ραγαῦ ἐννέα καὶ διακόσια ἔτη καὶ ἐγέννησεν υἱούς καὶ θυγατέρας καὶ ἀπέθανε.

And Ragau lived and hundred thirty and two years, and begot Seruch.

Καὶ ἔζησε Ραγαῦ ἑκατὸν τριάκοντα καὶ δύο ἔτη καὶ ἐγέννησε τὸν Σερούχ.

And Ragau lived after he had begotten Seruch, two hundred and seven years, and begot sons and daughters, and died.

And Nachor lived after he had begotten Thara, an hundred and twenty-five years, and begot sons and daughters, and he died.

καὶ ἔζησε Ναχώρ, μετὰ τὸ γεννῆσαι αὐτὸν τὸν Θάρα, ἔτη ἑκατὸν εἰκοσιπέντε καὶ ἐγέννησεν υἱοὺς καὶ θυγατέρας καὶ ἀπέθανε.

And Thara lived seventy years, and begot Abram, and Nachor, and Arrhan.

Καὶ ἔζησε Θάρα ἑβδομήκοντα ἔτη καὶ ἐγέννησε τὸν ῞Αβραμ καὶ τὸν Ναχὼρ καὶ τὸν ᾿Αρράν.

And these [are] the generations of Thara. Thara begot Abram and Nachor, and Arrhan; and Arrhan begot Lot.

Αὗται αἱ γενέσεις Θάρα· Θάρα ἐγέννησε τὸν ῞Αβραμ καὶ τὸν Ναχὼρ καὶ τὸν ᾿Αρράν, καὶ ᾿Αρρὰν ἐγέννησε τὸν Λώτ.

And Arrhan died in the presence of Thara his father, in the land in which he was born, in the country of the Chaldees.

καὶ ἀπέθανεν ᾿Αρρὰν ἐνώπιον Θάρα τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ γῇ, ᾗ ἐγεννήθη, ἐν τῇ χώρᾳ τῶν Χαλδαίων.

And Abram and Nachor took to themselves wives, the name of the wife of Abram was Sara, and the name of the wife of Nachor, Malcha, daughter of Arrhan, and he was the father of Malcha, the father of Jescha.

καὶ ἔλαβον ῞Αβραμ καὶ Ναχὼρ ἑαυτοῖς γυναῖκας· ὄνομα τῇ γυναικὶ ῞Αβραμ Σάρα, καὶ ὄνομα τῇ γυναικὶ Ναχὼρ Μελχά, θυγάτηρ ᾿Αρρὰν καὶ πατὴρ Μελχὰ καὶ πατὴρ ᾿Ιεσχά.

And Sara was barren, and did not bear children.

καὶ ἦν Σάρα στεῖρα καὶ οὐκ ἐτεκνοποίει.

And Thara took Abram his son, and Lot the son Arrhan, the son of his son, and Sara his daughter-in-law, the wife of Abram his son, and led them forth out of the land of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Chanaan, and they came as far as Charrhan, and he dwelt there.

καὶ ἔλαβε Θάρα τὸν ῞Αβραμ υἱὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ τὸν Λὼτ υἱὸν ᾿Αρράν, 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.

And all the days of Thara in the land of Charrhan were two hundred and five years, and Thara died in Charrhan.

καὶ ἐγένοντο πᾶσαι αἱ ἡμέραι Θάρα ἐν γῇ Χαρρὰν διακόσια πέντε ἔτη, καὶ ἀπέθανε Θάρα ἐν Χαρράν.
