The Tower of Babel (Genesis 11: 1-9)
Elliniká (Ancient Greek)
- ΚΑΙ ἦν πᾶσα ἡ
γῆ χεῖλος ἕν,
καὶ φωνὴ μία
πᾶσι.
- καὶ ἐγένετο
ἐν τῷ κινῆσαι
αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ
ἀνατολῶν,
εὗρον πεδίον
ἐν γῇ Σενναὰρ
καὶ κατῴκησαν
ἐκεῖ.
- 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.
- 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.
- καὶ κατέβη
Κύριος ἰδεῖν
τὴν πόλιν καὶ
τὸν πύργον, ὃν
ᾠκοδόμησαν οἱ
υἱοὶ τῶν
ἀνθρώπων.
- 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.
- δεῦτε καὶ
καταβάντες
συγχέωμεν
αὐτῶν ἐκεῖ
τὴν γλῶσσαν,
ἵνα μὴ
ἀκούσωσιν
ἕκαστος τὴν
φωνὴν τοῦ
πλησίον.
- καὶ
διέσπειρεν
αὐτοὺς Κύριος
ἐκεῖθεν ἐπὶ
πρόσωπον
πάσης τῆς γῆς,
καὶ ἐπαύσαντο
οἰκοδομοῦντες
τὴν πόλιν καὶ
τὸν πύργον.
- 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.
