Got to be careful here.
"Judaism's Bible is often referred to as the Tanakh," and, "The Tanakh was mainly written in Biblical HEBREW, with some portions (notably in Daniel and Ezra) in ARAMAIC."
But you asked about the Old Testament, and that is almost-but-not-quite the same as the Tanakh. "Old Testament canons contain books not found in the Tanakh." What are those extra books? Depends on which version of Christianity you are looking at; they have differing versions of the Old Testament.
(My quotes are taken from Wikipedia.)

Hebrew.
In Judaism, the Hebrew Bible is known simply as the Tanakh; in Christianity, it is known as the Old Testament.
The New Testament was written in Greek. (Some contend that parts of it were originally written in Aramaic, but the oldest surviving texts are all in Greek.)
