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.

И҆ бѣ̀ всѧ̀ землѧ̀ ᲂу҆стнѣ̀ є҆ди̑нѣ, и҆ гла́съ є҆ди́нъ всѣ̑мъ.

2

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.

И҆ бы́сть внегда̀ поитѝ и҆̀мъ ѿ востѡ́къ, ѡ҆брѣто́ша по́ле въ землѝ сеннаа́рстѣй и҆ всели́шасѧ та́мѡ.

3

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.

И҆ речѐ человѣ́къ бли́жнемꙋ своемꙋ̀: прїиди́те, сотвори́мъ плі̑нѳы и҆ и҆спече́мъ и҆̀хъ ѻ҆гне́мъ. И҆ бы́сть и҆̀мъ плі́нѳа въ ка́мень, и҆ бре́нїе вмѣ́стѡ мѣ́ла.

4

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.

И҆ реко́ша: прїиди́те, сози́ждемъ себѣ̀ гра́дъ и҆ сто́лпъ, є҆гѡ́же ве́рхъ бꙋ́детъ да́же до небесѐ: и҆ сотвори́мъ себѣ̀ и҆́мѧ, пре́жде не́же разсѣ́ѧтисѧ на́мъ по лицꙋ̀ всеѧ̀ землѝ.

5

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.

И҆ сни́де гдⷭ҇ь ви́дѣти гра́дъ и҆ сто́лпъ, є҆го́же созида́ша сы́нове человѣ́честїи.

6

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.

И҆ речѐ гдⷭ҇ь: сѐ, ро́дъ є҆ди́нъ, и҆ ᲂу҆стнѣ̀ є҆ди̑нѣ всѣ́хъ, и҆ сїѐ нача́ша твори́ти: и҆ нн҃ѣ не ѡ҆скꙋдѣ́ютъ ѿ ни́хъ всѧ̑, є҆ли̑ка а҆́ще восхотѧ́тъ твори́ти.

7

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.

Прїиди́те, и҆ соше́дше смѣси́мъ та́мѡ ѧ҆зы́къ и҆́хъ, да не ᲂу҆слы́шатъ кі́йждо гла́са бли́жнѧгѡ (своегѡ̀).

8

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.

И҆ разсѣ́ѧ и҆̀хъ ѿтꙋ́дꙋ гдⷭ҇ь по лицꙋ̀ всеѧ̀ землѝ: и҆ преста́ша зи́ждꙋще гра́дъ и҆ сто́лпъ.

9

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.

Сегѡ̀ ра́ди нарече́сѧ и҆́мѧ є҆гѡ̀ смѣше́нїе, ꙗ҆́кѡ та́мѡ смѣсѝ гдⷭ҇ь ᲂу҆стна̀ всеѧ̀ землѝ, и҆ ѿтꙋ́дꙋ разсѣ́ѧ и҆̀хъ гдⷭ҇ь по лицꙋ̀ всеѧ̀ землѝ.

10

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.

И҆ сїѧ̑ бытїѧ̑ си́мѡва: и҆ бѧ́ше си́мъ сы́нъ ста̀ лѣ́тъ, є҆гда̀ родѝ а҆рфаѯа́да, во второ́е лѣ́то по пото́пѣ:

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

Сїѧ̑ же бытїѧ̑ ѳа́рры: ѳа́рра родѝ а҆вра́ма и҆ нахѡ́ра и҆ а҆рра́на. А҆рра́нъ же родѝ лѡ́та:

28

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.

и҆ ᲂу҆́мре а҆рра́нъ пред̾ ѳа́ррою ѻ҆тце́мъ свои́мъ въ землѝ, въ не́йже роди́сѧ, въ странѣ̀ халде́йстѣй.

29

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.

И҆ поѧ́ста а҆вра́мъ и҆ нахѡ́ръ себѣ̀ жєны̀: и҆ и҆́мѧ женѣ̀ а҆вра́мли са́ра, и҆ и҆́мѧ женѣ̀ нахѡ́ровѣ ме́льха, дщѝ а҆рра́нѧ: се́й є҆́сть ѻ҆те́цъ ме́льхинъ и҆ ѻ҆те́цъ є҆́схинъ.

30

And Sara was barren, and did not bear children.

καὶ ἦν Σάρα στεῖρα καὶ οὐκ ἐτεκνοποίει.

Бѧ́ше же са́ра непло́ды и҆ не ражда́ше дѣте́й.

31

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.

И҆ поѧ́тъ ѳа́рра а҆вра́ма сы́на своего̀ и҆ лѡ́та сы́на а҆рра́нѧ, сы́на сы́на своегѡ̀, и҆ са́рꙋ снохꙋ̀ свою̀, женꙋ̀ а҆вра́ма сы́на своегѡ̀: и҆ и҆зведѐ ѧ҆̀ и҆з̾ землѝ халде́йскїѧ и҆тѝ на зе́млю ханаа́нскꙋ: и҆ прїидо́ша да́же до харра́на и҆ всели́шасѧ та́мѡ.

32

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.

Бы́ша же всѝ дні́е ѳа̑ррины въ землѝ харра́ни лѣ́тъ двѣ́стѣ пѧ́ть: и҆ ᲂу҆́мре ѳа́рра въ харра́нѣ.
