Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
World English Bible
1ΚΑΙ Κύριος ἐπεσκέψατο τὴν Σάρραν, καθὰ εἶπε, καὶ ἐποίησε Κύριος τῇ Σάρρᾳ καθὰ ἐλάλησε,
1The LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did to Sarah as he had spoken.
2καὶ συλλαβοῦσα ἔτεκε τῷ Ἁβραὰμ υἱὸν εἰς τὸ γῆρας, εἰς τὸν καιρόν, καθὰ ἐλάλησεν αὐτῷ Κύριος.
2Sarah conceived, and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.
3καὶ ἐκάλεσεν Ἁβραὰμ τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ τοῦ γενομένου αὐτῷ, ὃν ἔτεκεν αὐτῷ Σάρρα, Ἰσαάκ.
3Abraham called his son who was born to him, whom Sarah bore to him, Isaac.
4περιέτεμε δὲ Ἁβραὰμ τὸν Ἰσαὰκ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ὀγδόῃ, καθὰ ἐνετείλατο αὐτῷ ὁ Θεός.
4Abraham circumcised his son, Isaac, when he was eight days old, as God had commanded him.
5καὶ Ἁβραὰμ ἦν ἑκατὸν ἐτῶν, ἡνίκα ἐγένετο αὐτῷ Ἰσαὰκ ὁ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ.
5Abraham was one hundred years old when his son, Isaac, was born to him.
6εἶπε δὲ Σάρρα· γέλωτά μοι ἐποίησε Κύριος· ὃς γὰρ ἂν ἀκούσῃ, συγχαρεῖταί μοι.
6Sarah said, “God has made me laugh. Everyone who hears will laugh with me.”
7καὶ εἶπε· τίς ἀναγγελεῖ τῷ Ἁβραάμ, ὅτι θηλάζει παιδίον Σάρρα; ὅτι ἔτεκον υἱὸν ἐν τῷ γήρᾳ μου.
7She said, “Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? For I have borne him a son in his old age.”
8Καὶ ηὐξήθη τὸ παιδίον καὶ ἀπεγαλακτίσθη, καὶ ἐποίησεν Ἁβραὰμ δοχὴν μεγάλην, ᾗ ἡμέρᾳ ἀπεγαλακτίσθη Ἰσαὰκ ὁ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ.
8The child grew and was weaned. Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned.
9ἰδοῦσα δὲ Σάρρα τὸν υἱὸν Ἄγαρ τῆς Αἰγυπτίας, ὃς ἐγένετο τῷ Ἁβραάμ, παίζοντα μετὰ Ἰσαὰκ τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτῆς·
9Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, mocking.
10καὶ εἶπε τῷ Ἁβραάμ· ἔκβαλε τὴν παιδίσκην ταύτην καὶ τὸν υἱὸν αὐτῆς· οὐ γὰρ μὴ κληρονομήσει ὁ υἱὸς τῆς παιδίσκης ταύτης μετὰ τοῦ υἱοῦ μου Ἰσαάκ.
10Therefore she said to Abraham, “Cast out this servant and her son! For the son of this servant will not be heir with my son, Isaac.”
11σκληρὸν δὲ ἐφάνη τὸ ρῆμα σφόδρα ἐναντίον Ἁβραὰμ περὶ τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ.
11The thing was very grievous in Abraham’s sight on account of his son.
12εἶπε δὲ ὁ Θεὸς τῷ Ἁβραάμ· μὴ σκληρὸν ἔστω ἐναντίον σου περὶ τοῦ παιδίου καὶ περὶ τῆς παιδίσκης· πάντα ἂν ὅσα εἴπῃ σοι Σάρρα, ἄκουε τῆς φωνῆς αὐτῆς, ὅτι ἐν Ἰσαὰκ κληθήσεταί σοι σπέρμα.
12God said to Abraham, “Don’t let it be grievous in your sight because of the boy, and because of your servant. In all that Sarah says to you, listen to her voice. For your offspring will be named through Isaac.
13καὶ τὸν υἱὸν δὲ τῆς παιδίσκης ταύτης εἰς ἔθνος μέγα ποιήσω αὐτόν, ὅτι σπέρμα σόν ἐστιν.
13I will also make a nation of the son of the servant, because he is your child.”
14ἀνέστη δὲ Ἁβραὰμ τὸ πρωΐ καὶ ἔλαβεν ἄρτους καὶ ἀσκὸν ὕδατος καὶ ἔδωκε τῇ Ἄγαρ καὶ ἐπέθηκεν ἐπὶ τῶν ὤμων αὐτῆς τὸ παιδίον καὶ ἀπέστειλεν αὐτήν. ἀπελθοῦσα δὲ ἐπλανᾶτο κατὰ τὴν ἔρημον, κατὰ τὸ φρέαρ τοῦ ὅρκου.
14Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread and a container of water, and gave it to Hagar, putting it on her shoulder; and gave her the child, and sent her away. She departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.
15ἐξέλιπε δὲ τὸ ὕδωρ ἐκ τοῦ ἀσκοῦ, καὶ ἔρριψε τὸ παιδίον ὑποκάτω μιᾶς ἐλάτης.
15The water in the container was spent, and she put the child under one of the shrubs.
16ἀπελθοῦσα δὲ ἐκάθητο ἀπέναντι αὐτοῦ μακρόθεν ὡσεὶ τόξου βολήν· εἶπε γάρ, οὐ μὴ ἴδω τὸν θάνατον τοῦ παιδίου μου. καὶ ἐκάθισεν ἀπέναντι αὐτοῦ, ἀναβοῆσαν δὲ τὸ παιδίον ἔκλαυσεν.
16She went and sat down opposite him, a good way off, about a bow shot away. For she said, “Don’t let me see the death of the child.” She sat opposite him, and lifted up her voice, and wept.
17εἰσήκουσε δὲ ὁ Θεὸς τῆς φωνῆς τοῦ παιδίου ἐκ τοῦ τόπου, οὗ ἦν, καὶ ἐκάλεσεν ἄγγελος Θεοῦ τὴν Ἄγαρ ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ· τί ἐστιν Ἄγαρ; μὴ φοβοῦ· ἐπακήκοε γὰρ ὁ Θεὸς τῆς φωνῆς τοῦ παιδίου ἐκ τοῦ τόπου, οὗ ἐστιν.
17God heard the voice of the boy. The angel of God called to Hagar out of the sky, and said to her, “What troubles you, Hagar? Don’t be afraid. For God has heard the voice of the boy where he is.
18ἀνάστηθι καὶ λαβὲ τὸ παιδίον καὶ κράτησον τῇ χειρί σου αὐτό· εἰς γὰρ ἔθνος μέγα ποιήσω αὐτό.
18Get up, lift up the boy, and hold him with your hand. For I will make him a great nation.”
19καὶ ἀνέῳξεν ὁ Θεὸς τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτῆς, καὶ εἶδε φρέαρ ὕδατος ζῶντος καὶ ἐπορεύθη καὶ ἔπλησε τὸν ἀσκὸν ὕδατος καὶ ἐπότισε τὸ παιδίον.
19God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. She went, filled the container with water, and gave the boy a drink.
20καὶ ἦν ὁ Θεὸς μετὰ τοῦ παιδίου, καὶ ηὐξήθη. καὶ κατῴκησεν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ, ἐγένετο δὲ τοξότης.
20God was with the boy, and he grew. He lived in the wilderness, and as he grew up, he became an archer.
21καὶ κατῴκησεν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ τῇ Φαράν, καὶ ἔλαβεν αὐτῷ ἡ μήτηρ γυναῖκα ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου.
21He lived in the wilderness of Paran. His mother got a wife for him out of the land of Egypt.
22Ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ καὶ εἶπεν Ἀβιμέλεχ καὶ Ὁχοζὰθ ὁ νυμφαγωγὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ Φιχὸλ ὁ ἀρχιστράτηγος τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτοῦ πρὸς Ἁβραὰμ λέγων· ὁ Θεὸς μετὰ σοῦ ἐν πᾶσιν, οἷς ἐὰν ποιῇς·
22At that time, Abimelech and Phicol the captain of his army spoke to Abraham, saying, “God is with you in all that you do.
23νῦν οὖν ὄμοσόν μοι τὸν Θεόν, μὴ ἀδικήσειν με μηδὲ τὸ σπέρμα μου, μηδὲ τὸ ὄνομά μου· ἀλλὰ κατὰ τὴν δικαιοσύνην, ἣν ἐποίησα μετὰ σοῦ, ποιήσεις μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ, καὶ τῇ γῇ, ᾗ σὺ παρῴκησας ἐν αὐτῇ.
23Now, therefore, swear to me here by God that you will not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son’s son. But according to the kindness that I have done to you, you shall do to me, and to the land in which you have lived as a foreigner.”
24καὶ εἶπεν Ἁβραάμ· ἐγὼ ὀμοῦμαι.
24Abraham said, “I will swear.”
25καὶ ἤλεγξεν Ἁβραὰμ τὸν Ἀβιμέλεχ περὶ τῶν φρεάτων τοῦ ὕδατος, ὧν ἀφείλοντο οἱ παῖδες τοῦ Ἀβιμέλεχ.
25Abraham complained to Abimelech because of a water well, which Abimelech’s servants had violently taken away.
26καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ἀβιμέλεχ· οὐκ ἔγνων τίς ἐποίησέ σοι τὸ ρῆμα τοῦτο, οὐδὲ σύ μοι ἀπήγγειλας, οὐδὲ ἐγὼ ἤκουσα, ἀλλ᾿ ἢ σήμερον.
26Abimelech said, “I don’t know who has done this thing. You didn’t tell me, and I didn’t hear of it until today.”
27καὶ ἔλαβεν Ἁβραὰμ πρόβατα καὶ μόσχους, καὶ ἔδωκε τῷ Ἀβιμέλεχ, καὶ διέθεντο ἀμφότεροι διαθήκην.
27Abraham took sheep and cattle, and gave them to Abimelech. Those two made a covenant.
28καὶ ἔστησεν Ἁβραὰμ ἑπτὰ ἀμνάδας προβάτων μόνας.
28Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.
29καὶ εἶπεν Ἀβιμέλεχ τῷ Ἁβραάμ· τί εἰσιν αἱ ἑπτὰ ἀμνάδες τῶν προβάτων τούτων, ἃς ἔστησας μόνας;
29Abimelech said to Abraham, “What do these seven ewe lambs, which you have set by themselves, mean?”
30καὶ εἶπεν Ἁβραάμ, ὅτι τὰς ἑπτὰ ἀμνάδας λήψῃ παρ᾿ ἐμοῦ, ἵνα ὦσί μοι εἰς μαρτύριον, ὅτι ἐγὼ ὤρυξα τὸ φρέαρ τοῦτο.
30He said, “You shall take these seven ewe lambs from my hand, that it may be a witness to me, that I have dug this well.”
31διὰ τοῦτο ἐπωνόμασε τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ τόπου ἐκείνου, Φρέαρ ὁρκισμοῦ, ὅτι ἐκεῖ ὤμοσαν ἀμφότεροι.
31Therefore he called that place Beersheba, because they both swore an oath there.
32καὶ διέθεντο διαθήκην ἐν τῷ φρέατι τοῦ ὁρκισμοῦ. ἀνέστη δὲ Ἀβιμέλεχ καὶ Ὁχοζὰθ ὁ νυμφαγωγὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ Φιχὸλ ὁ ἀρχιστράτητος τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπέστρεψαν εἰς τὴν γῆν τῶν Φυλιστιείμ.
32So they made a covenant at Beersheba. Abimelech rose up with Phicol, the captain of his army, and they returned into the land of the Philistines.
33καὶ ἐφύτευσεν· Ἁβραὰμ ἄρουραν ἐπὶ τῷ φρέατι τοῦ ὅρκου καὶ ἐπεκαλέσατο ἐκεῖ τὸ ὄνομα Κυρίου, Θεὸς αἰώνιος.
33Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba, and there he called on the name of the LORD, the Everlasting God.
34παρῴκησε δὲ Ἁβραὰμ ἐν τῇ γῇ τῶν Φυλιστιεὶμ ἡμέρας πολλάς.
34Abraham lived as a foreigner in the land of the Philistines many days.
