1ΕΓΕΝΕΤΟ δὲ λιμὸς ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς χωρὶς τοῦ λιμοῦ τοῦ πρότερον, ὃς ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ καιρῷ τοῦ Ἁβραάμ· ἐπορεύθη δὲ Ἰσαὰκ πρὸς Ἀβιμέλεχ βασιλέα Φυλιστιεὶμ εἰς Γέραρα.
1Now there was another famine in the land, subsequent to the one that had occurred in Abraham’s time. And Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Philistines at Gerar.
2ὤφθη δὲ αὐτῷ Κύριος καὶ εἶπε· μὴ καταβῇς εἰς Αἴγυπτον· κατοίκησον δὲ ἐν τῇ γῇ, ᾗ ἄν σοι εἴπω.
2The LORD appeared to Isaac and said, “Do not go down to Egypt. Settle in the land where I tell you.
3καὶ παροίκει ἐν τῇ γῇ ταύτῃ, καὶ ἔσομαι μετὰ σοῦ καὶ εὐλογήσω σε· σοὶ γὰρ καὶ τῷ σπέρματί σου δώσω πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν ταύτην καὶ στήσω τὸν ὅρκον μου, ὃν ὤμοσα τῷ Ἁβραὰμ τῷ πατρί σου.
3Stay in this land as a foreigner, and I will be with you and bless you. For I will give all these lands to you and your offspring, and I will confirm the oath that I swore to your father Abraham.
4καὶ πληθυνῶ τὸ σπέρμα σου ὡς τοὺς ἀστέρας τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ δώσω τῷ σπέρματί σου πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν ταύτην, καὶ εὐλογηθήσονται ἐν τῷ σπέρματί σου πάντα τὰ ἔθνη τῆς γῆς,
4I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky, and I will give them all these lands, and through your offspring all nations of the earth will be blessed,
5ἀνθ᾿ ὧν ὑπήκουσεν Ἁβραὰμ ὁ πατήρ σου τῆς ἐμῆς φωνῆς καὶ ἐφύλαξε τὰ προστάγματά μου καὶ τὰς ἐντολάς μου καὶ τὰ δικαιώματά μου καὶ τὰ νόμιμά μου.
5because Abraham listened to My voice and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws.”
6κατῴκησε δὲ Ἰσαὰκ ἐν Γεράροις.
6So Isaac settled in Gerar.
7Ἐπηρώτησαν δὲ οἱ ἄνδρες τοῦ τόπου περὶ Ρεβέκκας τῆς γυναικὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἶπεν· ἀδελφή μου ἐστίν· ἐφοβήθη γὰρ εἰπεῖν ὅτι γυνή μου ἐστί, μήποτε ἀποκτείνωσιν αὐτὸν οἱ ἄνδρες τοῦ τόπου περὶ Ρεβέκκας, ὅτι ὡραία τῇ ὄψει ἦν.
7But when the men of that place asked about his wife, he said, “She is my sister.” For he was afraid to say, “She is my wife,” since he thought to himself, “The men of this place will kill me on account of Rebekah, because she is so beautiful.”
8ἐγένετο δὲ πολυχρόνιος ἐκεῖ· καὶ παρακύψας Ἀβιμέλεχ ὁ βασιλεὺς Γεράρων διὰ τῆς θυρίδος, εἶδε τὸν Ἰσαὰκ παίζοντα μετὰ Ρεβέκκας τῆς γυναικὸς αὐτοῦ.
8When Isaac had been there a long time, Abimelech king of the Philistines looked down from the window and was surprised to see Isaac caressing his wife Rebekah.
9ἐκάλεσε δὲ Ἀβιμέλεχ τὸν Ἰσαὰκ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· ἆρά γε γυνή σου ἐστί; τί ὅτι εἶπας, ἀδελφή μου ἐστίν; εἶπε δὲ αὐτῷ Ἰσαάκ· εἶπα γάρ, μήποτε ἀποθάνω δι᾿ αὐτήν.
9Abimelech sent for Isaac and said, “So she is really your wife! How could you say, ‘She is my sister’?” Isaac replied, “Because I thought I might die on account of her.”
10εἶπε δὲ αὐτῷ Ἀβιμέλεχ· τί τοῦτο ἐποίησας ἡμῖν; μικροῦ ἐκοιμήθη τις ἐκ τοῦ γένους μου μετὰ τῆς γυναικός σου, καὶ ἐπήγαγες ἂν ἐφ᾿ ἡμᾶς ἄγνοιαν.
10“What is this you have done to us?” asked Abimelech. “One of the people could easily have slept with your wife, and you would have brought guilt upon us.”
11συνέταξε δὲ Ἀβιμέλεχ παντὶ τῷ λαῷ αὐτοῦ, λέγων· πᾶς ὁ ἁψάμενος τοῦ ἀνθρώπου τούτου ἢ τῆς γυναικὸς αὐτοῦ, θανάτῳ ἔνοχος ἔσται.
11So Abimelech warned all the people, saying, “Whoever harms this man or his wife will surely be put to death.”
12ἔσπειρε δὲ Ἰσαὰκ ἐν τῇ γῇ ἐκείνῃ καὶ εὗρεν ἐν τῷ ἐνιαυτῷ ἐκείνῳ ἑκατοστεύουσαν κριθήν· εὐλόγησε δὲ αὐτὸν Κύριος.
12Now Isaac sowed seed in the land, and that very year he reaped a hundredfold. And the LORD blessed him,
13καὶ ὑψώθη ὁ ἄνθρωπος. καὶ προβαίνων μείζων ἐγίνετο, ἕως οὗ μέγας ἐγένετο σφόδρα·
13and he became richer and richer, until he was exceedingly wealthy.
14ἐγένετο δὲ αὐτῷ κτήνη προβάτων καὶ κτήνη βοῶν καὶ γεώργια πολλά. ἐζήλωσαν δὲ αὐτὸν οἱ Φυλιστιείμ,
14He owned so many flocks and herds and servants that the Philistines envied him.
15καὶ πάντα τὰ φρέατα, ἃ ὤρυξαν οἱ παῖδες τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ χρόνῳ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ, ἐνέφραξαν αὐτὰ οἱ Φυλιστιεὶμ καὶ ἔπλησαν αὐτὰ γῆς.
15So the Philistines took dirt and stopped up all the wells that his father’s servants had dug in the days of his father Abraham.
16εἶπε δὲ Ἀβιμέλεχ πρὸς Ἰσαάκ· ἄπελθε ἀφ᾿ ἡμῶν, ὅτι δυνατώτερος ἡμῶν ἐγένου σφόδρα.
16Then Abimelech said to Isaac, “Depart from us, for you are much too powerful for us.”
17καὶ ἀπῆλθεν ἐκεῖθεν Ἰσαὰκ καὶ κατέλυσεν ἐν τῇ φάραγγι Γεράρων καὶ κατῴκησεν ἐκεῖ.
17So Isaac left that place and encamped in the Valley of Gerar and settled there.
18καὶ πάλιν Ἰσαὰκ ὤρυξε τὰ φρέατα τοῦ ὕδατος, ἃ ὤρυξαν οἱ παῖδες Ἁβραὰμ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐνέφραξαν αὐτὰ οἱ Φυλιστιεὶμ μετὰ τὸ ἀποθανεῖν Ἁβραὰμ τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπωνόμασεν αὐτοῖς ὀνόματα κατὰ τὰ ὀνόματα, ἃ ὠνόμασεν ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ.
18Isaac reopened the wells that had been dug in the days of his father Abraham, which the Philistines had stopped up after Abraham died. And he gave these wells the same names his father had given them.
19καὶ ὤρυξαν οἱ παῖδες Ἰσαὰκ ἐν τῇ φάραγγι Γεράρων καὶ εὗρον ἐκεῖ φρέαρ ὕδατος ζῶντος.
19Then Isaac’s servants dug in the valley and found a well of fresh water there.
20καὶ ἐμαχέσαντο οἱ ποιμένες Γεράρων μετὰ τῶν ποιμένων Ἰσαάκ, φάσκοντες αὐτῶν εἶναι τὸ ὕδωρ. καὶ ἐκάλεσαν τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ φρέατος Ἀδικία· ἠδίκησαν γὰρ αὐτόν.
20But the herdsmen of Gerar quarreled with Isaac’s herdsmen and said, “The water is ours!” So he named the well Esek, because they contended with him.
21ἀπάρας δὲ Ἰσαὰκ ἐκεῖθεν ὤρυξε φρέαρ ἕτερον, ἐκρίνοντο δὲ καὶ περὶ ἐκείνου· καὶ ἐπωνόμασε τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἐχθρία.
21Then they dug another well and quarreled over that one also; so he named it Sitnah.
22ἀπάρας δὲ ἐκεῖθεν ὤρυξε φρέαρ ἕτερον, καὶ οὐκ ἐμαχέσαντο περὶ αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐπωνόμασε τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Εὐρυχωρία, λέγων· διότι νῦν ἐπλάτυνε Κύριος ἡμῖν καὶ ηὔξησεν ἡμᾶς ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.
22He moved on from there and dug another well, and they did not quarrel over it. He named it Rehoboth and said, “At last the LORD has made room for us, and we will be fruitful in the land.”
23Ἀνέβη δὲ ἐκεῖθεν ἐπὶ τὸ φρέαρ τοῦ ὅρκου.
23From there Isaac went up to Beersheba,
24καὶ ὤφθη αὐτῷ Κύριος ἐν τῇ νυκτὶ ἐκείνῃ καὶ εἶπεν· ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ Θεὸς Ἁβραὰμ τοῦ πατρός σου· μὴ φοβοῦ· μετὰ σοῦ γάρ εἰμι καὶ εὐλογήσω σε καὶ πληθυνῶ τὸ σπέρμα σου δι᾿ Ἁβραὰμ τὸν πατέρα σου.
24and that night the LORD appeared to him and said, “I am the God of your father Abraham. Do not be afraid, for I am with you. I will bless you and multiply your descendants for the sake of My servant Abraham.”
25καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν ἐκεῖ θυσιαστήριον καὶ ἐπεκαλέσατο τὸ ὄνομα Κυρίου καὶ ἔπηξεν ἐκεῖ τὴν σκηνὴν αὐτοῦ· ὤρυξαν δὲ ἐκεῖ οἱ παῖδες Ἰσαὰκ φρέαρ ἐν τῇ φάραγγι Γεράρων.
25So Isaac built an altar there and called on the name of the LORD, and he pitched his tent there. His servants also dug a well there.
26καὶ Ἀβιμέλεχ ἐπορεύθη πρὸς αὐτὸν ἀπὸ Γεράρων καὶ Ὁχοζὰθ ὁ νυμφαγωγὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ Φιχὸλ ὁ ἀρχιστράτηγος τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτοῦ.
26Later, Abimelech came to Isaac from Gerar, with Ahuzzath his adviser and Phicol the commander of his army.
27καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Ἰσαάκ· ἵνα τί ἤλθετε πρός με; ὑμεῖς δὲ ἐμισήσατέ με καὶ ἐξαπεστείλατέ με ἀφ᾿ ὑμῶν.
27“Why have you come to me?” Isaac asked them. “You hated me and sent me away.”
28οἱ δὲ εἶπαν· ἰδόντες ἑωράκαμεν, ὅτι ἦν Κύριος μετὰ σοῦ, καὶ εἴπαμεν· γενέσθω ἀρὰ ἀνὰ μέσον ἡμῶν καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον σοῦ, καὶ διαθησόμεθα μετὰ σοῦ διαθήκην,
28“We can plainly see that the LORD has been with you,” they replied. “We recommend that there should now be an oath between us and you. Let us make a covenant with you
29μὴ ποιῆσαι μεθ᾿ ἡμῶν κακόν, καθότι οὐκ ἐβδελυξάμεθά σε ἡμεῖς, καὶ ὃν τρόπον ἐχρησάμεθά σοι καλῶς καί ἐξαπεστείλαμέν σε μετ᾿ εἰρήνης· καὶ νῦν εὐλογημένος σὺ ὑπὸ Κυρίου.
29that you will not harm us, just as we have not harmed you but have done only good to you, sending you on your way in peace. And now you are blessed by the LORD.”
30καὶ ἐποίησεν αὐτοῖς δοχήν, καὶ ἔφαγον καὶ ἔπιον·
30So Isaac prepared a feast for them, and they ate and drank.
31καὶ ἀναστάντες τὸ πρωΐ, ὤμοσεν ἕκαστος τῷ πλησίον αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐξαπέστειλεν αὐτοὺς Ἰσαάκ, καὶ ἀπῴχοντο ἀπ᾿ αὐτοῦ μετὰ σωτηρίας.
31And they got up early the next morning and swore an oath to each other. Then Isaac sent them on their way, and they left him in peace.
32ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ καὶ παραγενόμενοι οἱ παῖδες Ἰσαὰκ ἀπήγγειλαν αὐτῷ περὶ τοῦ φρέατος, οὗ ὤρυξαν, καὶ εἶπαν· οὐχ εὕρομεν ὕδωρ.
32On that same day, Isaac’s servants came and told him about the well they had dug. “We have found water!” they told him.
33καὶ ἐκάλεσεν αὐτὸ ¨Ορκος· διὰ τοῦτο ἐκάλεσεν ὄνομα τῇ πόλει ἐκείνῃ Φρέαρ ὅρκου ἕως τῆς σήμερον ἡμέρας.
33So he called it Shibah, and to this day the name of the city is Beersheba.
34Ἦν δὲ Ἡσαῦ ἐτῶν τεσσαράκοντα καὶ ἔλαβε γυναῖκα Ἰουδίθ, θυγατέρα Βεὼχ τοῦ Χετταίου καὶ τὴν Βασεμάθ, θυγατέρα Ἑλὼν Χετταίου.
34When Esau was forty years old, he took as his wives Judith daughter of Beeri the Hittite and Basemath daughter of Elon the Hittite.
35καὶ ἦσαν ἐρίζουσαι τῷ Ἰσαὰκ καὶ τῇ Ρεβέκκᾳ.
35And they brought grief to Isaac and Rebekah.
