1Now Sarai the wife of Abram, had brought forth no children; but having a handmaid, an Egyptian, named Agar,
1ΣΑΡΑ δὲ γυνὴ ¨Αβραμ οὐκ ἔτικτεν αὐτῷ. ἦν δὲ αὐτῇ παιδίσκη Αἰγυπτία, ᾗ ὄνομα Ἄγαρ.
2She said to her husband: Behold, the Lord hath restrained me from bearing: go in unto my handmaid, it may be I may have children of her at least. And when he agreed to her request,
2εἶπε δὲ Σάρα πρὸς ¨Αβραμ· ἰδοὺ συνέκλεισέ με Κύριος τοῦ μὴ τίκτειν· εἴσελθε οὖν πρὸς τὴν παιδίσκην μου, ἵνα τεκνοποιήσωμαι ἐξ αὐτῆς. ὑπήκουσε δὲ ¨Αβραμ τῆς φωνῆς Σάρας.
3She took Agar the Egyptian her handmaid, ten years after they first dwelt in the land of Chanaan, and gave her to her husband to wife.
3καὶ λαβοῦσα Σάρα ἡ γυνὴ ¨Αβραμ Ἄγαρ τὴν Αἰγυπτίαν τὴν ἑαυτῆς παιδίσκην, μετὰ δέκα ἔτη τοῦ οἰκῆσαι ¨Αβραμ ἐν γῇ Χαναάν, ἔδωκεν αὐτὴν τῷ ¨Αβραμ ἀνδρὶ αὐτῆς αὐτῷ γυναῖκα.
4And he went in to her. But she, perceiving that she was with child, despised her mistress.
4καὶ εἰσῆλθε πρὸς Ἄγαρ, καὶ συνέλαβε. καὶ εἶδεν ὅτι ἐν γαστρὶ ἔχει, καὶ ἠτιμάσθη ἡ κυρία ἐναντίον αὐτῆς.
5And Sarai said to Abram: Thou dost unjustly with me: I gave my handmaid into thy bosom, and she perceiving herself to be with child, despiseth me. The Lord judge between me and thee.
5εἶπε δὲ Σάρα πρὸς ¨Αβραμ· ἀδικοῦμαι ἐκ σοῦ· ἐγὼ δέδωκα τὴν παιδίσκην μου εἰς τὸν κόλπον σου, ἰδοῦσα δὲ ὅτι ἐν γαστρὶ ἔχει, ἠτιμάσθην ἐναντίον αὐτῆς· κρίναι ὁ Θεὸς ἀνὰ μέσον ἐμοῦ καὶ σοῦ.
6And Abram made answer, and said to her: Behold thy handmaid is in thy own hand, use her as it pleaseth thee. And when Sarai afflicted her, she ran away.
6εἶπε δὲ ¨Αβραμ πρὸς Σάραν· ἰδοὺ ἡ παιδίσκη σου ἐν ταῖς χερσί σου· χρῶ αὐτῇ ὡς ἄν σοι ἀρεστόν ᾖ. καὶ ἐκάκωσεν αὐτὴν Σάρα, καὶ ἀπέδρα ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτῆς.
7And the angel of the Lord having found her, by a fountain of water in the wilderness, which is in the way to Sur in the desert,
7Εὗρε δὲ αὐτὴν ἄγγελος Κυρίου ἐπὶ τῆς πηγῆς τοῦ ὕδατος ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ, ἐπὶ τῆς πηγῆς ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ Σούρ.
8He said to her: Agar, handmaid of Sarai, whence comest thou? and whither goest thou? And she answered: I flee from the face of Sarai, my mistress.
8καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ ὁ ἄγγελος Κυρίου. Ἄγαρ, παιδίσκη Σάρας, πόθεν ἔρχῃ καὶ ποῦ πορεύῃ; καὶ εἶπεν· ἀπὸ προσώπου Σάρας τῆς κυρίας μου ἐγὼ ἀποδιδράσκω.
9And the angel of the Lord said to her: Return to thy mistress, and humble thyself under her hand.
9εἶπε δὲ αὐτῇ ὁ ἄγγελος Κυρίου· ἀποστράφηθι πρὸς τὴν κυρίαν σου καὶ ταπεινώθητι ὑπὸ τὰς χεῖρας αὐτῆς.
10And again he said: I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, and it shall not be numbered for multitude.
10καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ ὁ ἄγγελος Κυρίου· πληθύνων πληθυνῶ τὸ σπέρμα σου, καὶ οὐκ ἀριθμηθήσεται ὑπὸ τοῦ πλήθους.
11And again: Behold, said he, thou art with child, and thou shalt bring forth a son: and thou shalt call his name Ismael, because the Lord hath heard thy affliction.
11καί εἶπεν αὐτῇ ὁ ἄγγελος Κυρίου· ἰδού, σὺ ἐν γαστρί ἔχεις καὶ τέξῃ υἱὸν καὶ καλέσεις τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἰσμαήλ, ὅτι ἐπήκουσε Κύριος τῇ ταπεινώσει σου.
12He shall be a wild man: his hand will be against all men, and all men’s hands against him: and he shall pitch his tents over against all his brethren.
12οὗτος ἔσται ἄγροικος ἄνθρωπος αἱ χεῖρες αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ πάντας, καὶ αἱ χεῖρες πάντων ἐπ᾿ αὐτόν, καὶ κατὰ πρόσωπον πάντων τῶν ἀδελφῶν αὐτοῦ κατοικήσει.
13And she called the name of the Lord that spoke unto her: Thou the God who hast seen me. For she said: Verily here have I seen the hinder parts of him that seeth me.
13καὶ ἐκάλεσεν Ἄγαρ τὸ ὄνομα Κυρίου τοῦ λαλοῦντος πρὸς αὐτήν· σὺ ὁ Θεὸς ὁ ἐπιδών με, ὅτι εἶπε· καὶ γὰρ ἐνώπιον εἶδον ὀφθέντα μοι.
14Therefore she called that well, The well of him that liveth and seeth me. The same is between Cades and Barad.
14ἕνεκεν τούτου ἐκάλεσε τὸ φρέαρ Φρέαρ οὗ ἐνώπιον εἶδον· ἰδοὺ ἀνὰ μέσον Κάδης καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον Βαράδ.
15And Agar brought forth a son to Abram: who called his name Ismael.
15Καὶ ἔτεκεν Ἄγαρ τῷ ¨Αβραμ υἱόν, καὶ ἐκάλεσεν ¨Αβραμ τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ, ὃν ἔτεκεν αὐτῷ Ἄγαρ, Ἰσμαήλ.
16Abram was four score and six years old when Agar brought him forth Ismael.
16¨Αβραμ δὲ ἦν ἐτῶν ὀγδοηκονταέξ, ἡνίκα ἔτεκεν Ἄγαρ τῷ ¨Αβραμ τὸν Ἰσμαήλ.
