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.
1And when a famine came in the land, after that barrenness which had happened in the days of Abraham, Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Palestines to Gerara.
2ὤφθη δὲ αὐτῷ Κύριος καὶ εἶπε· μὴ καταβῇς εἰς Αἴγυπτον· κατοίκησον δὲ ἐν τῇ γῇ, ᾗ ἄν σοι εἴπω.
2And the Lord appeared to him and said: Go not down into Egypt, but stay in the land that I shall tell thee.
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.
3And sojourn in it, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee: for to thee and to thy seed I will give all these countries, to fulfill the oath which I swore to Abraham thy father.
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,
4And I will multiply thy seed like the stars of heaven: and I will give to thy posterity all these countries: and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth 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 obeyed my voice, and kept my precepts and commandments, and observed my ceremonies and laws.
6κατῴκησε δὲ Ἰσαὰκ ἐν Γεράροις.
6So Isaac abode in Gerara.
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.
7And when he was asked by the men of that place, concerning his wife, he answered: She is my sister; for he was afraid to confess that she was his wife, thinking lest perhaps they would kill him because of her beauty.
8ἐγένετο δὲ πολυχρόνιος ἐκεῖ· καὶ παρακύψας Ἀβιμέλεχ ὁ βασιλεὺς Γεράρων διὰ τῆς θυρίδος, εἶδε τὸν Ἰσαὰκ παίζοντα μετὰ Ρεβέκκας τῆς γυναικὸς αὐτοῦ.
8And when very many days were passed, and he abode there, Abimelech king of the Palestines looking out through a window, saw him playing with Rebecca his wife.
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.
9And calling for him, he said: It is evident she is thy wife: why didst thou feign her to be thy sister? He answered: I feared lest I should die for her sake.
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.
10And Abimelech said: Why hast thou deceived us? Some man of the people might have lain with thy wife, and thou hadst brought upon us a great sin. And he commanded all the people, saying:
11συνέταξε δὲ Ἀβιμέλεχ παντὶ τῷ λαῷ αὐτοῦ, λέγων· πᾶς ὁ ἁψάμενος τοῦ ἀνθρώπου τούτου ἢ τῆς γυναικὸς αὐτοῦ, θανάτῳ ἔνοχος ἔσται.
11He that shall touch this man’s wife, shall surely be put to death.
12ἔσπειρε δὲ Ἰσαὰκ ἐν τῇ γῇ ἐκείνῃ καὶ εὗρεν ἐν τῷ ἐνιαυτῷ ἐκείνῳ ἑκατοστεύουσαν κριθήν· εὐλόγησε δὲ αὐτὸν Κύριος.
12And Isaac sowed in that land, and he found that same year a hundredfold: and the Lord blessed him.
13καὶ ὑψώθη ὁ ἄνθρωπος. καὶ προβαίνων μείζων ἐγίνετο, ἕως οὗ μέγας ἐγένετο σφόδρα·
13And the man was enriched, and he went on prospering and increasing, till he became exceeding great:
14ἐγένετο δὲ αὐτῷ κτήνη προβάτων καὶ κτήνη βοῶν καὶ γεώργια πολλά. ἐζήλωσαν δὲ αὐτὸν οἱ Φυλιστιείμ,
14And he had possessions of sheep and of herds, and a very great family. Wherefore the Palestines envying 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.
15Stopped up at that time all the wells, that the servants of his father Abraham had digged, filling them up with earth:
16εἶπε δὲ Ἀβιμέλεχ πρὸς Ἰσαάκ· ἄπελθε ἀφ᾿ ἡμῶν, ὅτι δυνατώτερος ἡμῶν ἐγένου σφόδρα.
16Insomuch that Abimelech himself said to Isaac: Depart from us, for thou art become much mightier than we.
17καὶ ἀπῆλθεν ἐκεῖθεν Ἰσαὰκ καὶ κατέλυσεν ἐν τῇ φάραγγι Γεράρων καὶ κατῴκησεν ἐκεῖ.
17So he departed and came to the torrent of Gerara, to dwell 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.
18And he digged again other wells, which the servants of his father Abraham had digged, and which, after his death, the Palestines had of old stopped up: and he called them by the same names by which his father before had called them.
19καὶ ὤρυξαν οἱ παῖδες Ἰσαὰκ ἐν τῇ φάραγγι Γεράρων καὶ εὗρον ἐκεῖ φρέαρ ὕδατος ζῶντος.
19And they digged in the torrent, and found living water.
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 there also the herdsmen of Gerara strove against the herdsmen of Isaac, saying: It is our water. Wherefore he called the name of the well, on occasion of that which had happened, Calumny.
21ἀπάρας δὲ Ἰσαὰκ ἐκεῖθεν ὤρυξε φρέαρ ἕτερον, ἐκρίνοντο δὲ καὶ περὶ ἐκείνου· καὶ ἐπωνόμασε τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἐχθρία.
21And they digged also another; and for that they quarrelled likewise, and he called the name of it, Enmity.
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.
22Going forward from thence, he digged another well, for which they contended not: therefore he called the name thereof, Latitude, saying: Now hath the Lord given us room, and made us to increase upon the earth.
23Ἀνέβη δὲ ἐκεῖθεν ἐπὶ τὸ φρέαρ τοῦ ὅρκου.
23And he went up from that place to Bersabee,
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.
24Where the Lord appeared to him that same night, saying: I am the God of Abraham thy father; do not fear, for I am with thee: I will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham’s sake.
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.
25And he built there an altar: and called upon the name of the Lord, and pitched his tent: and commanded his servants to dig a well.
26καὶ Ἀβιμέλεχ ἐπορεύθη πρὸς αὐτὸν ἀπὸ Γεράρων καὶ Ὁχοζὰθ ὁ νυμφαγωγὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ Φιχὸλ ὁ ἀρχιστράτηγος τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτοῦ.
26To which place when Abimelech, and Ochozath his friend, and Phicol chief captain of his soldiers came from Gerara,
27καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Ἰσαάκ· ἵνα τί ἤλθετε πρός με; ὑμεῖς δὲ ἐμισήσατέ με καὶ ἐξαπεστείλατέ με ἀφ᾿ ὑμῶν.
27Isaac said to them: Why are ye come to me, a man whom you hate, and have thrust out from you?
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,
28And they answered: We saw that the Lord is with thee, and therefore we said: Let there be an oath between us, and let us make a covenant,
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 thou do us no harm, as we on our part have touched nothing of thine, nor have done any thing to hurt thee: but with peace have sent thee away increased with the blessing of the Lord.
30καὶ ἐποίησεν αὐτοῖς δοχήν, καὶ ἔφαγον καὶ ἔπιον·
30And he made them a feast, and after they had eaten and drunk:
31καὶ ἀναστάντες τὸ πρωΐ, ὤμοσεν ἕκαστος τῷ πλησίον αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐξαπέστειλεν αὐτοὺς Ἰσαάκ, καὶ ἀπῴχοντο ἀπ᾿ αὐτοῦ μετὰ σωτηρίας.
31Arising in the morning, they swore one to another: and Isaac sent them away peaceably to their own home.
32ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ καὶ παραγενόμενοι οἱ παῖδες Ἰσαὰκ ἀπήγγειλαν αὐτῷ περὶ τοῦ φρέατος, οὗ ὤρυξαν, καὶ εἶπαν· οὐχ εὕρομεν ὕδωρ.
32And behold the same day the servants of Isaac came, telling him of a well which they had digged, and saying: We have found water.
33καὶ ἐκάλεσεν αὐτὸ ¨Ορκος· διὰ τοῦτο ἐκάλεσεν ὄνομα τῇ πόλει ἐκείνῃ Φρέαρ ὅρκου ἕως τῆς σήμερον ἡμέρας.
33Whereupon he called it Abundance: and the name of the city was called Bersabee, even to this day.
34Ἦν δὲ Ἡσαῦ ἐτῶν τεσσαράκοντα καὶ ἔλαβε γυναῖκα Ἰουδίθ, θυγατέρα Βεὼχ τοῦ Χετταίου καὶ τὴν Βασεμάθ, θυγατέρα Ἑλὼν Χετταίου.
34And Esau being forty years old, married wives, Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hethite, and Basemath the daughter of Elon of the same place.
35καὶ ἦσαν ἐρίζουσαι τῷ Ἰσαὰκ καὶ τῇ Ρεβέκκᾳ.
35And they both offended the mind of Isaac and Rebecca.
