I can go with first and second testaments. Wasn't the Bible written in Hebrew and Aramaic?

I thought so, also in the Greek vernacular at the time.

I spent several years studying with an amazing Hebrew scholar (who worked on the NIV translation, among other things) by translating the OT (Tanakh) and NT from the "original" languages.The OT was written in Hebrew with some portions in Aramaic (Daniel, Ezra) but during the Hellenization of the region the commonly used text was translated into Greek by some Hellenistic Jews and later was translated back into the original languages. The NT was written for the most part in Koine Greek - the "common" Greek spoken at that time. Luke and Acts were written in a more sophisticated Greek.

Some people think Matthew was written in Aramaic, so I decided use First and Second Testament.
