ΓΕΝΕΣΙΣ 20

Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
King James Version with Apocrypha
1Καὶ ἐκίνησεν ἐκεῖθεν Ἁβραὰμ εἰς γῆν πρὸς Λίβα· καὶ ᾤκησεν ἀνὰ μέσον Κάδης, καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον Σούρ· καὶ παρῴκησεν ἐν Γεράροις.
1And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the south country, and dwelled between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned in Gerar.
2Εἶπε δὲ Ἁβραὰμ περὶ Σάῤῥας τῆς γυναικὸς αὐτοῦ, ὅτι ἀδελφή μου ἐστίν· ἐφοβήθη γὰρ εἰπεῖν ὅτι γυνή μου ἐστὶ, μή ποτε ἀποκτείνωσιν αὐτὸν οἱ ἄνδρες τῆς πόλεως διʼ αὐτήν· ἀπέστειλε δὲ Ἀβιμέλεχ βασιλεὺς Γεράρων, καὶ ἔλαβε τὴν Σάῤῥαν.
2And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister: and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.
3Καὶ εἰσῆλθεν ὁ Θεὸς πρὸς Ἀβιμέλεχ ἐν ὕπνῳ τὴν νύκτα, καὶ εἶπεν, ἰδοὺ σὺ ἀποθνήσκεις περὶ τῆς γυναικὸς, ἧς ἔλαβες· αὕτη δέ ἐστι συνῳκηκυῖα ἀνδρί.
3But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, thou art but a dead man, for the woman which thou hast taken; for she is a man’s wife.
4Ἀβιμέλεχ δὲ οὐχ ἥψατο αὐτῆς· καὶ εἶπε, Κύριε, ἔθνος ἀγνοοῦν καὶ δίκαιον ἀπολεῖς;
4But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, Lord, wilt thou slay also a righteous nation?
5Οὐκ αὐτός μοι εἶπεν, ἀδφή μου ἐστί; καὶ αὕτη μοι εἶπεν, ἀδελφός μου ἐστίν; ἐν καθαρᾷ καρδίᾳ καὶ ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ χειρῶν ἐποίησα τοῦτο.
5Said he not unto me, She is my sister? and she, even she herself said, He is my brother: in the integrity of my heart and innocency of my hands have I done this.
6Εἶπε δὲ αὐτῷ ὁ Θεὸς καθʼ ὕπνον, κᾀγὼ ἔγνων ὅτι ἐν καθαρᾷ καρδίᾳ ἐποίησας τοῦτο, καὶ ἐφεισάμην σου τοῦ μὴ ἁμαρτεῖν σε εἰς ἐμέ· ἕνεκα τούτου οὐκ ἀφῆκά σε ἅψασθαι αὐτῆς.
6And God said unto him in a dream, Yea, I know that thou didst this in the integrity of thy heart; for I also withheld thee from sinning against me: therefore suffered I thee not to touch her.
7Νῦν δὲ ἀπόδος τὴν γυναῖκα τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ, ὅτι προφήτης ἐστὶ, καὶ προσεύξεται περὶ σοῦ, καὶ ζήσῃ· εἰ δὲ μὴ ἀποδίδως, γνώσῃ ὅτι ἀποθανῇ σὺ καὶ πάντα τὰ σὰ.
7Now therefore restore the man his wife; for he is a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live: and if thou restore her not, know thou that thou shalt surely die, thou, and all that are thine.
8Καὶ ὤρθρισεν Ἀβιμέλεχ τῷ πρωῒ, καὶ ἐκάλεσε πάντας τοὺς παῖδας αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐλάλησε πάντα τὰ ῥήματα ταῦτα εἰς τὰ ὦτα αὐτῶν· ἐφοβήθησαν δὲ πάντες οἱ ἄνθρωποι σφόδρα.
8Therefore Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ears: and the men were sore afraid.
9Καὶ ἐκάλεσεν Ἀβιμέλεχ τὸν Ἁβραὰμ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, τί τοῦτο ἐποίησας ἡμῖν; μήτι ἡμάρτομεν εἰς σὲ, ὅτι ἐπήγαγες ἐπʼ ἐμὲ καὶ ἐπὶ τὴν βασιλείαν μου ἁμαρτίαν μεγάλην; ἔργον ὃ οὐδεὶς ποιήσει, πεποίηκάς μοι.
9Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said unto him, What hast thou done unto us? and what have I offended thee, that thou hast brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? thou hast done deeds unto me that ought not to be done.
10Εἶπε δὲ Ἀβιμέλεχ τῷ Ἁβραὰμ, τί ἐνιδὼν ἐποίησας τοῦτο;
10And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing?
11Εἶπε δὲ Ἁβραὰμ, εἶπα γὰρ, ἄρα οὐκ ἔστι θεοσέβεια ἐν τῷ τόπῳ τούτῳ, ἐμέ τε ἀποκτενοῦσιν ἕνεκεν τῆς γυναικός μου.
11And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely the fear of God is not in this place; and they will slay me for my wife’s sake.
12Καὶ γὰρ ἀληθῶς, ἀδελφή μου ἐστὶν ἐκ πατρὸς, ἀλλʼ οὐκ ἐκ μητρός· ἐγενήθη δέ μοι εἰς γυναῖκα.
12And yet indeed she is my sister; she is the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.
13Ἐγένετο δὲ ἡνίκα ἐξήγαγέ με ὁ Θεὸς ἐκ τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ πατρός μου, καὶ εἶπα αὐτῇ, ταύτην τὴν δικαιοσύνην ποιήσεις εἰς ἐμὲ, εἰς πάντα τόπον οὗ ἐὰν εἰσέλθωμεν ἐκεῖ, εἶπον ἐμὲ, ὅτι ἀδελφός μου ἐστίν.
13And it came to pass, when God caused me to wander from my father’s house, that I said unto her, This is thy kindness which thou shalt shew unto me; at every place whither we shall come, say of me, He is my brother.
14Ἔλαβε δὲ Ἀβιμέλεχ χίλια δίδραγμα, καὶ πρόβατα, καὶ μόσχους, καὶ παῖδας, καὶ παιδίσκας, καὶ ἔδωκε τῷ Ἁβραάμ· καὶ ἀπέδωκεν αὐτῷ Σάῤῥαν τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ.
14And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and womenservants, and gave them unto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife.
15Καὶ εἶπεν Ἀβιμέλεχ τῷ Ἁβραὰμ, ἰδοὺ ἡ γῆ μου ἐναντίον σου· οὗ ἄν σοι ἀρέσκῃ, κατοίκει.
15And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before thee: dwell where it pleaseth thee.
16Τῇ δὲ Σάῤῥᾳ εἶπεν, ἰδοὺ δέδωκα χίλια δίδραγμα τῷ ἀδελφῷ σου· ταῦτα ἔσται σοι εἰς τιμὴν τοῦ προσώπου σου, καὶ πάσαις ταῖς μετὰ σοῦ· καὶ πάντα ἀλήθευσον.
16And unto Sarah he said, Behold, I have given thy brother a thousand pieces of silver: behold, he is to thee a covering of the eyes, unto all that are with thee, and with all other: thus she was reproved.
17Προσηύξατο δὲ Ἁβραὰμ πρὸς τὸν Θεὸν, καὶ ἰάσατο ὁ Θεὸς τὸν Ἀβιμέλεχ, καὶ τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὰς παιδίσκας αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἔτεκον.
17¶ So Abraham prayed unto God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maidservants; and they bare children .
18Ὅτι συγκλείων συνέκλεισε Κύριος ἔξωθεν πᾶσαν μήτραν ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ Ἀβιμέλεχ, ἕνεκεν Σάῤῥας τῆς γυναικὸς Ἁβραάμ.
18For the LORD had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abraham’s wife.
