| 1 και ην πασα η γη χειλος εν και φωνη μια πασιν | 1 Now the whole earth had one language and few words. |
| 2 και εγενετο εν τω κινησαι αυτους απο ανατολων ευρον πεδιον εν γη σεννααρ και κατωκησαν εκει | 2 And as men migrated from the east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there. |
| 3 και ειπεν ανθρωπος τω πλησιον δευτε πλινθευσωμεν πλινθους και οπτησωμεν αυτας πυρι και εγενετο αυτοις η πλινθος εις λιθον και ασφαλτος ην αυτοις ο πηλος | 3 And they said to one another, "Come, let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly."

| 6 και ειπεν κυριος ιδου γενος εν και χειλος εν παντων και τουτο ηρξαντο ποιησαι και νυν ουκ εκλειψει εξ αυτων παντα οσα αν επιθωνται ποιειν | 6 And the LORD said, "Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language; and this is only the beginning of what they will do; and nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them. |
| 7 δευτε και καταβαντες συγχεωμεν εκει αυτων την γλωσσαν ινα μη ακουσωσιν εκαστος την φωνην του πλησιον | 7 Come, let us go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another's speech." |
| 8 και διεσπειρεν αυτους κυριος εκειθεν επι προσωπον πασης της γης και επαυσαντο οικοδομουντες την πολιν και τον πυργον | 8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city. |
| 9 δια τουτο εκληθη το ονομα αυτης συγχυσις οτι εκει συνεχεεν κυριος τα χειλη πασης της γης και εκειθεν διεσπειρεν αυτους κυριος ο θεος επι προσωπον πασης της γης | 9 Therefore its name was called Babel, because there the LORD confused the language of all the earth; and from there the LORD scattered them abroad over the face of all the earth. |
