ΓΕΝΕΣΙΣ 12

Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1Καὶ εἶπε Κύριος τῷ Ἅβραμ, ἔξελθε ἐκ τῆς γῆς σου, καὶ ἐκ τῆς συγγενείας σου, καὶ ἐκ τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ πατρός σου, καὶ δεῦρο εἰς τὴν γῆν, ἣν ἄν σοι δείξω.
1Now the LORD said unto Abram: 'Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto the land that I will show thee.
2Καὶ ποιήσω σε εἰς ἔθνος μέγα, καὶ εὐλογήσω σε, καὶ μεγαλυνῶ τὸ ὄνομά σου, καὶ ἔσῃ εὐλογημένος.
2And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and be thou a blessing.
3Καὶ εὐλογήσω τοὺς εὐλογοῦντάς σε, καὶ τοὺς καταρωμένους σε καταράσομαι, καὶ ἐνευλογηθήσονται ἐν σοὶ πᾶσαι αἱ φυλαὶ τῆς γῆς.
3And I will bless them that bless thee, and him that curseth thee will I curse; and in thee shall all the families of the earth be blessed.'
4Καὶ ἐπορεύθη Ἅβραμ, καθάπερ ἐλάλησεν αὐτῷ Κύριος, καὶ ᾤχετο μετʼ αὐτοῦ Λώτ· Ἅβραμ δὲ ἦν ἐτῶν ἑβδομηκονταπέντε, ὅτε ἐξῆλθεν ἐκ Χαῤῥάν.
4So Abram went, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him; and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran.
5Καὶ ἔλαβεν Ἅβραμ Σάραν τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὸν Λὼτ υἱὸν τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ, καὶ πάντα τὰ ὑπάρχοντα αὐτῶν ὅσα ἐκτήσαντο, καὶ πᾶσαν ψυχὴν ἣν ἐκτήσαντο, ἐκ Χαῤῥάν, καὶ ἐξήλθοσαν πορευθῆναι εἰς γῆν Χανάαν.
5And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came.
6Καὶ διώδευσεν Ἅβραμ τὴν γῆν εἰς τὸ μῆκος αὐτῆς ἕως τοῦ τόπου Συχέμ, ἐπὶ τὴν δρῦν τὴν ὑψηλήν· οἱ δὲ Χαναναῖοι τότε κατῴκουν τὴν γῆν.
6And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Shechem, unto the terebinth of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land.
7Καὶ ὤφθη Κύριος τῷ Ἅβραμ, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, τῷ σπέρματί σου δώσω τὴν γῆν ταύτην· καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν ἐκεῖ Ἅβραμ θυσιαστήριον Κυρίῳ τῷ ὀφθέντι αὐτῷ.
7And the LORD appeared unto Abram, and said: 'Unto thy seed will I give this land'; and he builded there an altar unto the LORD, who appeared unto him.
8Καὶ ἀπέστη ἐκεῖθεν εἰς τὸ ὄρος κατὰ ἀνατολὰς Βαιθήλ· καὶ ἔστησεν ἐκεῖ τὴν σκηνὴν αὐτοῦ ἐν Βαιθὴλ κατὰ θάλασσαν, καὶ Ἀγγαὶ κατὰ ἀνατολάς· καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν ἐκεῖ θυσιαστήριον τῷ Κυρίῳ, καὶ ἐπεκαλέσατο ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματι Κυρίου.
8And he removed from thence unto the mountain on the east of Beth-el, and pitched his tent, having Beth-el on the west, and Ai on the east; and he builded there an altar unto the LORD, and called upon the name of the LORD.
9Καὶ ἀπῇρεν Ἅβραμ, καὶ πορευθεὶς ἐστρατοπέδευσεν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ.
9And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the South.
10Καὶ ἐγένετο λιμὸς ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς· καὶ κατέβη Ἅβραμ εἰς Αἴγυπτον παροικῆσαι ἐκεῖ, ὅτι ἐνίσχυσεν ὁ λιμὸς ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.
10And there was a famine in the land; and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was sore in the land.
11Ἐγένετο δὲ ἡνίκα ἤγγισεν Ἅβραμ εἰσελθεῖν εἰς Αἴγυπτον, εἶπεν Ἅβραμ Σάρα τῇ γυναικὶ, γινώσκω ἐγὼ, ὅτι γυνὴ εὐπρόσωπος εἶ.
11And it came to pass, when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife: 'Behold now, I know that thou art a fair woman to look upon.
12Ἔσται οὖν ὡς ἂν ἴδωσί σε οἱ Αἰγύπτιοι, ἐροῦσιν ὅτι γυνὴ αὐτοῦ ἐστιν αὐτὴ, καὶ ἀποκτενοῦσί με, σὲ δὲ περιποιήσονται.
12And it will come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see thee, that they will say: This is his wife; and they will kill me, but thee they will keep alive.
13Εἶπον οὖν, ὅτι ἀδελφὴ αὐτοῦ εἰμι, ὅπως ἄν εὖ μοι γένηται διὰ σὲ, καὶ ζήσεται ἡ ψυχή μου ἕνεκέν σου.
13Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister; that it may be well with me for thy sake, and that my soul may live because of thee.'
14Ἐγένετο δὲ, ἡνίκα εἰσῆλθεν Ἅβραμ εἰς Αἴγυπτον, ἰδόντες οἱ Αἰγύπτιοι τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ, ὅτι καλὴ ἦν σφόδρα.
14And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair.
15Καὶ ἴδον αὐτὴν οἱ ἄρχοντες Φαραὼ, καὶ ἐπῄνεσαν αὐτὴν πρὸς Φαραὼ, καὶ εἰσήγαγον αὐτὴν εἰς τὸν οἶκον Φαραώ.
15And the princes of Pharaoh saw her, and praised her to Pharaoh; and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house.
16Καὶ τῷ Ἅβραμ εὖ ἐχρήσαντο διʼ αὐτήν· καὶ ἐγένοντο αὐτῷ πρόβατα, καὶ μόσχοι, καὶ ὄνοι, καὶ παῖδες, καὶ παιδίσκαι, καὶ ἡμίονοι, καὶ κάμηλοι.
16And he dealt well with Abram for her sake; and he had sheep, and oxen, and he-asses, and men-servants, and maid-servants, and she-asses, and camels.
17Καὶ ἤτασεν ὁ Θεὸς τὸν Φαραὼ ἐτασμοῖς μεγάλοις καὶ πονηροῖς, καὶ τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ, περὶ Σάρας τῆς γυναικὸς Ἅβραμ.
17And the LORD plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abram's wife.
18Καλέσας δὲ Φαραὼ τὸν Ἅβραμ, εἶπεν, τί τοῦτο ἐποίησάς μοι, ὅτι οὐκ ἀπήγγειλάς μοι, ὅτι γυνή σου ἐστίν;
18And Pharaoh called Abram, and said: 'What is this that thou hast done unto me? why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife?
19Ἱνατί εἶπας ὅτι ἀδελφή μου ἐστίν; καὶ ἔλαβον αὐτὴν ἐμαυτῷ γυναῖκα· καὶ νῦν ἰδοὺ ἡ γυνή σου ἔναντί σου, λαβὼν ἀπότρεχε.
19Why saidst thou: She is my sister? so that I took her to be my wife; now therefore behold thy wife, take her, and go thy way.'
20Καὶ ἐνετείλατο Φαραὼ ἀνδράσι περὶ Ἅβραμ συμπροπέμψαι αὐτὸν, καὶ τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ, καὶ πάντα ὅσα ἦν αὐτῷ.
20And Pharaoh gave men charge concerning him; and they brought him on the way, and his wife, and all that he had.
