Charles Thomson’s Translation of the Old Covenant is a direct translation of the Greek Septuagint version of the Old Testament into English, rare for its time.

Charles Thomson was a Greek scholar, and before the American Revolution, had been a teacher at several prominent schools.

The 1539 folio edition carried the royal licence and was therefore the first officially approved Bible translation in English.-Wikipedia
