Bible translations into Greek The first known translation of the Bible into Greek is called the Septuagint (LXX; 3rdâ€“1st centuries BC). The LXX was written in Koine Greek.[1] It contains the Hebrew Bible translated from Hebrew and Aramaic. It also includes several other documents which are considered to have differing levels of authority by various Christian churches.[a] Some of these other documents are believed to have been written originally in Greek.
