Hebrew.
You also need to realize that the "Bible" used to only be "The Old Testament". This is a book written for Jews, by Jews. Even G-d spoke to Moses in Hebrew.

I'll second what Cyn said, Its written in Aramaic, Greek and Hebrew. And this was mainly because the Jews after their kingdom were destroyed and were in captivity were under the persians for a while, then the greeks and lastly the romans, so accordingly they had used different texts at different times. Thats what I know about this.

It was first contained in the form of scrolls in Hebrew and then translated in Greek. However, when the first bibles were mass produced it was by a german named Gugenheim. In of course, german.
