Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
1When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am God Almighty. Walk before me and be blameless.
1Ἐγένετο δὲ Ἅβραμ ἐτῶν ἐννενηκονταεννέα. Καὶ ὤφθη Κύριος τῷ Ἅβραμ, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ Θεός σου· εὐαρέστει ἐνώπιον ἐμοῦ, καὶ γίνου ἄμεμπτος.
2I will make my covenant between me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly.”
2Καὶ θήσομαι τὴν διαθήκην μου ἀνὰ μέσον ἐμοῦ, καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον σου, καὶ πληθυνῶ σε σφόδρα.
3Abram fell on his face. God talked with him, saying,
3Καὶ ἔπεσεν Ἅβραμ ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ.
4“As for me, behold, my covenant is with you. You will be the father of a multitude of nations.
4Καὶ ἐλάλησεν αὐτῷ ὁ Θεὸς, λέγων, Καὶ ἐγὼ ἰδοὺ ἡ διαθήκη μου μετὰ σοῦ· καὶ ἔσῃ πατὴρ πλήθους ἐθνῶν.
5Your name will no more be called Abram, but your name will be Abraham; for I have made you the father of a multitude of nations.
5Καὶ οὐ κληθήσεται ἔτι τὸ ὄνομά σου Ἅβραμ, ἀλλʼ ἔσται τὸ ὄνομά σου Ἁβραὰμ, ὅτι πατέρα πολλῶν ἐθνῶν τέθεικά σε.
6I will make you exceedingly fruitful, and I will make nations of you. Kings will come out of you.
6Καὶ αὐξανῶ σε σφόδρα σφόδρα, καὶ θήσω σε εἰς ἔθνη· καὶ βασιλεῖς ἐκ σοῦ ἐξελεύσονται.
7I will establish my covenant between me and you and your offspring after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God to you and to your offspring after you.
7Καὶ στήσω τὴν διαθήκην μου ἀνὰ μέσον σου, καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τοῦ σπέρματός σου μετὰ σὲ εἰς τὰς γενεὰς αὐτῶν, εἰς διαθήκην αἰώνιον εἶναί σου Θεὸς, καὶ τοῦ σπέρματός σου μετὰ σέ.
8I will give to you, and to your offspring after you, the land where you are traveling, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession. I will be their God.”
8Καὶ δώσω σοι καὶ τῷ σπέρματί σου μετὰ σὲ τὴν γῆν, ἣν παροικεῖς, πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν Χαναὰν, εἰς κατάσχεσιν αἰώνιον· καὶ ἔσομαι αὐτοῖς εἰς Θεόν.
9God said to Abraham, “As for you, you shall keep my covenant, you and your offspring after you throughout their generations.
9Καὶ εἶπεν ὁ Θεὸς πρὸς Ἁβραὰμ, σὺ δὲ τὴν. διαθήκην μου διατηρήσεις, σὺ καὶ τὸ σπέρμα σου μετὰ σὲ εἰς τὰς γενεὰς αὐτῶν.
10This is my covenant, which you shall keep, between me and you and your offspring after you. Every male among you shall be circumcised.
10Καὶ αὕτη ἡ διαθήκη, ἣν διατηρήσεις, ἀνὰ μέσον ἐμοῦ καὶ ὑμῶν, καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τοῦ σπέρματός σου μετὰ σὲ εἰς τὰς γενεὰς αὐτῶν· περιτμηθήσεται ὑμῶν πᾶν ἀρσενικόν.
11You shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskin. It will be a token of the covenant between me and you.
11Καὶ περιτμηθήσεσθε τὴν σάρκα τῆς ἀκροβυστίας ὑμῶν, καὶ ἔσται εἰς σημεῖον διαθήκης ἀνὰ μέσον ἐμοῦ καὶ ὑμῶν.
12He who is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every male throughout your generations, he who is born in the house, or bought with money from any foreigner who is not of your offspring.
12Καὶ παιδίον ὀκτὼ ἡμερῶν περιτμηθήσεται ὑμῖν, πᾶν ἀρσενικὸν εἰς τὰς γενεὰς ὑμῶν· καὶ οἰκογενὴς καὶ ὁ ἀργυρώνητος ἀπὸ παντὸς υἱοῦ ἀλλοτρίου, ὃς οὐκ ἔστιν ἐκ τοῦ σπέρματός σου,
13He who is born in your house, and he who is bought with your money, must be circumcised. My covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.
13Περιτομῇ περιτμηθήσεται ὁ οἰκογενὴς τῆς οἰκίας σου, καὶ ὁ ἀργυρώνητος· καὶ ἔσται ἡ διαθήκη μου ἐπὶ τῆς σαρκὸς ὑμῶν εἰς διαθήκην αἰώνιον.
14The uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that soul shall be cut off from his people. He has broken my covenant.”
14Καὶ ἀπερίτμητος ἄρσην, ὃς οὐ περιτμηθήσεται τὴν σάρκα τῆς ἀκροβυστίας αὐτοῦ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ὀγδόῃ, ἐξολοθρευθήσεται ἡ ψυχὴ ἐκείνη ἐκ τοῦ γένους αὐτῆς, ὅτι τὴν διαθήκην μου διεσκέδασε.
15God said to Abraham, “As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but her name shall be Sarah.
15Καὶ εἶπεν ὁ Θεὸς τῷ Ἁβραὰμ, Σάρα ἡ γυνή σου, οὐ κληθήσεται τὸ ὄνομα αὐτῆς Σάρα, Σάῤῥα ἔσται τὸ ὄνομα αὐτῆς.
16I will bless her, and moreover I will give you a son by her. Yes, I will bless her, and she will be a mother of nations. Kings of peoples will come from her.”
16Εὐλογήσω δὲ αὐτὴν, καὶ δώσω σοι ἐξ αὐτῆς τέκνον, καὶ εὐλογήσω αὐτὸ, καὶ ἔσται εἰς ἔθνη, καὶ βασιλεῖς ἐθνῶν ἐξ αὐτοῦ ἔσονται.
17Then Abraham fell on his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, “Will a child be born to him who is one hundred years old? Will Sarah, who is ninety years old, give birth?”
17Καὶ ἔπεσεν Ἁβραὰμ ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐγέλασε· καὶ εἶπεν ἐν τῇ διανοίᾳ αὐτοῦ, λέγων, εἰ τῷ ἑκατονταετεῖ γενήσεται υἱός; καὶ εἰ ἡ Σάῤῥα ἐννενήκοντα ἐτῶν τέξεται;
18Abraham said to God, “Oh that Ishmael might live before you!”
18Εἶπε δὲ Ἁβραὰμ πρὸς τὸν Θεόν· Ἰσμαὴλ οὗτος ζήτω ἐναντίον σου.
19God said, “No, but Sarah, your wife, will bear you a son. You shall call his name Isaac. I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant for his offspring after him.
19Εἶπε δὲ ὁ Θεὸς πρὸς Ἁβραὰμ, ναί· ἰδοὺ Σάῤῥα ἡ γυνή σου τέξεταί σοι υἱὸν, καὶ καλέσεις τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἰσαάκ· καὶ στήσω τὴν διαθήκην μου πρὸς αὐτὸν, εἰς διαθήκην αἰώνιον, εἶναι αὐτῷ Θεὸς καὶ τῷ σπέρματι αὐτοῦ μετʼ αὐτόν.
20As for Ishmael, I have heard you. Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly. He will become the father of twelve princes, and I will make him a great nation.
20Περὶ δὲ Ἰσμαὴλ ἰδοὺ ἐπήκουσά σου· καὶ ἰδοὺ εὐλόγηκα αὐτὸν, καὶ αὐξανῶ αὐτὸν, καὶ πληθυνῶ αὐτὸν σφόδρα δώδεκα ἔθνη γεννήσει, καὶ δώσω αὐτὸν εἰς ἔθνος μέγα.
21But I will establish my covenant with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you at this set time next year.”
21Τὴν δὲ διαθήκην μου στήσω πρὸς Ἰσαὰκ, ὃν τέξεταί σοι Σάῤῥα εἰς τὸν καιρὸν τοῦτον, ἐν τῷ ἐνιαυτῷ τῷ ἑτέρῳ.
22When he finished talking with him, God went up from Abraham.
22Συνετέλεσε δὲ λαλῶν πρὸς αὐτὸν, καὶ ἀνέβη ὁ Θεὸς ἀπὸ Ἁβραάμ.
23Abraham took Ishmael his son, all who were born in his house, and all who were bought with his money: every male among the men of Abraham’s house, and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin in the same day, as God had said to him.
23Καὶ ἔλαβεν Ἁβραὰμ Ἰσμαὴλ τὸν υἱὸν ἑαυτοῦ, καὶ πάντας τοὺς οἰκογενεῖς αὐτοῦ, καὶ πάντας τοὺς ἀργυρωνήτους, καὶ πᾶν ἄρσεν τῶν ἀνδρῶν τῶν ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ Ἁβραὰμ, καὶ περιέτεμε τὰς ἀκροβυστίας αὐτῶν, ἐν τῷ καιρῷ τῆς ἡμέρας ἐκείνης, καθὰ ἐλάλησεν αὐτῷ ὁ Θεός.
24Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
24Ἁβραὰμ δὲ ἐννενηκονταεννέα ἦν ἐτῶν, ἡνίκα περιετέμετο τὴν σάρκα τῆς ἀκροβυστίας αὐτοῦ.
25Ishmael, his son, was thirteen years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
25Ἰσμαὴλ δὲ ὁ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἦν ἐτῶν δεκατριῶν, ἡνίκα περιετέμετο τὴν σάρκα τῆς ἀκροβυστίας αὐτοῦ.
26In the same day both Abraham and Ishmael, his son, were circumcised.
26Ἐν δὲ τῷ καιρῷ τῆς ἡμέρας ἐκείνης, περιετμήθη Ἁβραὰμ, καὶ Ἰσμαὴλ ὁ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ,
27All the men of his house, those born in the house, and those bought with money from a foreigner, were circumcised with him.
27καὶ πάντες οἱ ἄνδρες τοῦ οἴκου αὐτοῦ, καὶ οἱ οἰκογενεῖς αὐτοῦ, καὶ οἱ ἀργυρώνητοι ἐξ ἀλλογενῶν ἐθνῶν.
