Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1Abraham was old, and well advanced in age. The LORD had blessed Abraham in all things.
1ΚΑΙ Ἁβραὰμ ἦν πρεσβύτερος προβεβηκὼς ἡμερῶν, καὶ ὁ Κύριος ηὐλόγησε τὸν Ἁβραὰμ κατὰ πάντα.
2Abraham said to his servant, the elder of his house, who ruled over all that he had, “Please put your hand under my thigh.
2καὶ εἶπεν Ἁβραὰμ τῷ παιδὶ αὐτοῦ τῷ πρεσβυτέρῳ τῆς οἰκίας αὐτοῦ τῷ ἄρχοντι πάντων τῶν αὐτοῦ· θὲς τὴν χεῖρά σου ὑπὸ τὸν μηρόν μου,
3I will make you swear by the LORD, the God of heaven and the God of the earth, that you shall not take a wife for my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I live.
3καὶ ἐξορκιῶ σε Κύριον τὸν Θεὸν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ τὸν Θεὸν τῆς γῆς, ἵνα μὴ λάβῃς γυναῖκα τῷ υἱῷ μου Ἰσαὰκ ἀπὸ τῶν θυγατέρων τῶν Χαναναίων, μεθ᾿ ὧν ἐγὼ οἰκῶ ἐν αὐτοῖς,
4But you shall go to my country, and to my relatives, and take a wife for my son Isaac.”
4ἀλλ᾿ ἢ εἰς τὴν γῆν μου, οὗ ἐγεννήθην, πορεύσῃ καὶ εἰς τὴν φυλήν μου καὶ λήψῃ γυναῖκα τῷ υἱῷ μου Ἰσαὰκ ἐκεῖθεν.
5The servant said to him, “What if the woman isn’t willing to follow me to this land? Must I bring your son again to the land you came from?”
5εἶπε δὲ πρὸς αὐτὸν ὁ παῖς· μή ποτε οὐ βούληται ἡ γυνὴ πορευθῆναι μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ ὀπίσω εἰς τὴν γῆν ταύτην· ἀποστρέψω τὸν υἱόν σου εἰς τὴν γῆν, ὅθεν ἐξῆλθες ἐκεῖθεν;
6Abraham said to him, “Beware that you don’t bring my son there again.
6εἶπε δὲ πρὸς αὐτὸν Ἁβραάμ· πρόσεχε σεαυτῷ, μὴ ἀποστρέψῃς τὸν υἱόν μου ἐκεῖ.
7The LORD, the God of heaven—who took me from my father’s house, and from the land of my birth, who spoke to me, and who swore to me, saying, ‘I will give this land to your offspring—he will send his angel before you, and you shall take a wife for my son from there.
7Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ ὁ Θεὸς τῆς γῆς, ὃς ἔλαβέ με ἐκ τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ πατρός μου καὶ ἐκ τῆς γῆς, ἧς ἐγεννήθην, ὃς ἐλάλησέ μοι καὶ ὃς ὤμοσέ μοι λέγων· σοὶ δώσω τὴν γῆν ταύτην καὶ τῷ σπέρματί σου, αὐτὸς ἀποστελεῖ τὸν ἄγγελον αὐτοῦ ἔμπροσθέν σου. καὶ λήψῃ γυναῖκα τῷ υἱῷ μου ἐκεῖθεν.
8If the woman isn’t willing to follow you, then you shall be clear from this oath to me. Only you shall not bring my son there again.”
8ἐὰν δὲ μὴ θέλῃ ἡ γυνὴ πορευθῆναι μετὰ σοῦ εἰς τὴν γῆν ταύτην, καθαρὸς ἔσῃ ἀπὸ τοῦ ὅρκου μου· μόνον τὸν υἱόν μου μὴ ἀποστρέψῃς ἐκεῖ.
9The servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and swore to him concerning this matter.
9καὶ ἔθηκεν ὁ παῖς τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ὑπὸ τὸν μηρὸν Ἁβραὰμ τοῦ κυρίου αὐτοῦ καὶ ὤμοσεν αὐτῷ περὶ τοῦ ρήματος τούτου.
10The servant took ten of his master’s camels, and departed, having a variety of good things of his master’s with him. He arose, and went to Mesopotamia, to the city of Nahor.
10Καὶ ἔλαβεν ὁ παῖς δέκα καμήλους ἀπὸ τῶν καμήλων τοῦ κυρίου αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν ἀγαθῶν τοῦ κυρίου αὐτοῦ μεθ᾿ ἑαυτοῦ καὶ ἀναστὰς ἐπορεύθη εἰς τὴν Μεσοποταμίαν εἰς τὴν πόλιν Ναχώρ.
11He made the camels kneel down outside the city by the well of water at the time of evening, the time that women go out to draw water.
11καὶ ἐκοίμισε τὰς καμήλους ἔξω τῆς πόλεως παρὰ τὸ φρέαρ τοῦ ὕδατος τὸ πρὸς ὀψέ, ἡνίκα ἐκπορεύονται αἱ ὑδρευόμεναι.
12He said, “LORD, the God of my master Abraham, please give me success today, and show kindness to my master Abraham.
12καὶ εἶπε· Κύριε ὁ Θεὸς τοῦ κυρίου μου Ἁβραάμ, εὐόδωσον ἐναντίον ἐμοῦ σήμερον καὶ ποίησον ἔλεος μετὰ τοῦ κυρίου μου Ἁβραάμ.
13Behold, I am standing by the spring of water. The daughters of the men of the city are coming out to draw water.
13ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἕστηκα ἐπὶ τῆς πηγῆς τοῦ ὕδατος, αἱ δὲ θυγατέρες τῶν οἰκούντων τὴν πόλιν ἐκπορεύονται ἀντλῆσαι ὕδωρ,
14Let it happen, that the young lady to whom I will say, ‘Please let down your pitcher, that I may drink,’ then she says, ‘Drink, and I will also give your camels a drink,’—let her be the one you have appointed for your servant Isaac. By this I will know that you have shown kindness to my master.”
14καὶ ἔσται ἡ παρθένος, ᾗ ἂν ἐγὼ εἴπω, ἐπίκλινον τὴν ὑδρίαν σου, ἵνα πίω, καὶ εἴπῃ μοι, πίε σύ, καὶ τὰς καμήλους σου ποτιῶ, ἕως ἂν παύσωνται πίνουσαι, ταύτην ἡτοίμασας τῷ παιδί σου τῷ Ἰσαάκ, καὶ ἐν τούτῳ γνώσομαι ὅτι ἐποίησας ἔλεος μετὰ τοῦ κυρίου μου Ἁβραάμ.
15Before he had finished speaking, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel the son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham’s brother, with her pitcher on her shoulder.
15καὶ ἐγένετο πρὸ τοῦ συντελέσαι αὐτὸν λαλοῦντα ἐν τῇ διανοίᾳ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἰδοὺ Ρεβέκκα ἐξεπορεύετο ἡ τεχθεῖσα Βαθουήλ, υἱῷ Μελχὰς τῆς γυναικὸς Ναχώρ, ἀδελφοῦ δὲ Ἁβραάμ, ἔχουσα τὴν ὑδρίαν ἐπὶ τῶν ὤμων αὐτῆς.
16The young lady was very beautiful to look at, a virgin. No man had known her. She went down to the spring, filled her pitcher, and came up.
16ἡ δὲ παρθένος ἦν καλὴ τῇ ὄψει σφόδρα· παρθένος ἦν, ἀνὴρ οὐκ ἔγνω αὐτήν. καταβᾶσα δὲ ἐπὶ τὴν πηγὴν ἔπλησε τὴν ὑδρίαν αὐτῆς καὶ ἀνέβη.
17The servant ran to meet her, and said, “Please give me a drink, a little water from your pitcher.”
17ἐπέδραμε δὲ ὁ παῖς εἰς συνάντησιν αὐτῆς καὶ εἶπε· πότισόν με μικρὸν ὕδωρ ἐκ τῆς ὑδρίας σου.
18She said, “Drink, my lord.” She hurried, and let down her pitcher on her hand, and gave him a drink.
18ἡ δὲ εἶπε· πίε, κύριε. καὶ ἔσπευσε καὶ καθεῖλε τὴν ὑδρίαν ἐπὶ τὸν βραχίονα αὐτῆς καὶ ἐπότισεν αὐτόν, ἕως ἐπαύσατο πίνων.
19When she had finished giving him a drink, she said, “I will also draw for your camels, until they have finished drinking.”
19καὶ εἶπε· καὶ ταῖς καμήλοις σου ὑδρεύσομαι, ἕως ἂν πᾶσαι πίωσι.
20She hurried, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again to the well to draw, and drew for all his camels.
20καὶ ἔσπευσε καὶ ἐξεκένωσε τὴν ὑδρίαν εἰς τὸ ποτιστήριον καὶ ἔδραμεν ἐπὶ τὸ φρέαρ ἀντλῆσαι πάλιν καὶ ὑδρεύσατο πάσαις ταῖς καμήλοις.
21The man looked steadfastly at her, remaining silent, to know whether the LORD had made his journey prosperous or not.
21ὁ δὲ ἄνθρωπος κατεμάνθανεν αὐτὴν καὶ παρεσιώπα τοῦ γνῶναι, εἰ εὐώδωκε Κύριος τὴν ὁδὸν αὐτοῦ ἢ οὔ.
22As the camels had finished drinking, the man took a golden ring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hands of ten shekels weight of gold,
22ἐγένετο δέ, ἡνίκα ἐπαύσαντο πᾶσαι αἱ κάμηλοι πίνουσαι, ἔλαβεν ὁ ἄνθρωπος ἐνώτια χρυσᾶ ἀνὰ δραχμὴν ὁλκῆς καὶ δύο ψέλλια ἐπὶ τὰς χεῖρας αὐτῆς, δέκα χρυσῶν ὁλκὴ αὐτῶν.
23and said, “Whose daughter are you? Please tell me. Is there room in your father’s house for us to stay?”
23καὶ ἐπηρώτησεν αὐτὴν καὶ εἶπε· θυγάτηρ τίνος εἶ; ἀνάγγειλόν μοι, εἰ ἔστι παρὰ τῷ πατρί σου τόπος ἡμῖν τοῦ καταλῦσαι.
24She said to him, “I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, whom she bore to Nahor.”
24ἡ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· θυγάτηρ Βαθουήλ εἰμι τοῦ Μελχάς, ὃν ἔτεκε τῷ Ναχώρ.
25She said moreover to him, “We have both straw and feed enough, and room to lodge in.”
25καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· καὶ ἄχυρα καὶ χορτάσματα πολλὰ παρ᾿ ἡμῖν καὶ τόπος τοῦ καταλῦσαι.
26The man bowed his head, and worshiped the LORD.
26καὶ εὐδοκήσας ὁ ἄνθρωπος προσεκύνησε τῷ Κυρίῳ καὶ εἶπεν·
27He said, “Blessed be the LORD, the God of my master Abraham, who has not forsaken his loving kindness and his truth toward my master. As for me, the LORD has led me on the way to the house of my master’s relatives.”
27εὐλογητὸς Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς τοῦ κυρίου μου Ἁβραάμ, ὃς οὐκ ἐγκατέλιπε τὴν δικαιοσύνην αὐτοῦ καὶ τὴν ἀλήθειαν ἀπὸ τοῦ κυρίου μου· ἐμέ τε εὐώδωκε Κύριος εἰς οἶκον τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ τοῦ κυρίου μου.
28The young lady ran, and told her mother’s house about these words.
28Καὶ δραμοῦσα ἡ παῖς ἀνήγγειλεν εἰς τὸν οἶκον τῆς μητρὸς αὐτῆς κατὰ τὰ ρήματα ταῦτα.
29Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban. Laban ran out to the man, to the spring.
29τῇ δὲ Ρεβέκκᾳ ἀδελφὸς ἦν ᾧ ὄνομα Λάβαν· καὶ ἔδραμε Λάβαν πρὸς τὸν ἄνθρωπον ἔξω ἐπὶ τὴν πηγήν.
30When he saw the ring, and the bracelets on his sister’s hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, “This is what the man said to me,” he came to the man. Behold, he was standing by the camels at the spring.
30καὶ ἐγένετο ἡνίκα εἶδε τὰ ἐνώτια καὶ τὰ ψέλλια ἐν ταῖς χερσὶ τῆς ἀδελφῆς αὐτοῦ καὶ ὅτε ἤκουσε τὰ ρήματα Ρεβέκκας τῆς ἀδελφῆς αὐτοῦ λεγούσης· οὕτω λελάληκέ μοι ὁ ἄνθρωπος, καὶ ἦλθε πρὸς τὸν ἄνθρωπον ἑστηκότος αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τῶν καμήλων ἐπὶ τῆς πηγῆς
31He said, “Come in, you blessed of the LORD. Why do you stand outside? For I have prepared the house, and room for the camels.”
31καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· δεῦρο εἴσελθε· εὐλογητὸς Κυρίου· ἱνατί ἕστηκας ἔξω; ἐγὼ δὲ ἡτοίμασα τὴν οἰκίαν καὶ τόπον ταῖς καμήλοις.
32The man came into the house, and he unloaded the camels. He gave straw and feed for the camels, and water to wash his feet and the feet of the men who were with him.
32εἰσῆλθε δὲ ὁ ἄνθρωπος εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν καὶ ἀπέσαξε τὰς καμήλους καὶ ἔδωκεν ἄχυρα καὶ χορτάσματα ταῖς καμήλοις καὶ ὕδωρ νίψασθαι τοῖς ποσὶν αὐτοῦ καὶ τοῖς ποσὶ τῶν ἀνδρῶν τῶν μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ.
33Food was set before him to eat, but he said, “I will not eat until I have told my message.” Laban said, “Speak on.”
33καὶ παρέθηκεν αὐτοῖς ἄρτους φαγεῖν. καὶ εἶπεν· οὐ μὴ φάγω, ἕως τοῦ λαλῆσαί με τὰ ρήματά μου. καὶ εἶπαν· λάλησον.
34He said, “I am Abraham’s servant.
34Καὶ εἶπε· παῖς Ἁβραὰμ ἐγώ εἰμι.
35The LORD has blessed my master greatly. He has become great. The LORD has given him flocks and herds, silver and gold, male servants and female servants, and camels and donkeys.
35Κύριος δὲ ηὐλόγησε τὸν κύριόν μου σφόδρα, καὶ ὑψώθη· καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ πρόβατα καὶ μόσχους καὶ ἀργύριον καὶ χρυσίον, παῖδας καὶ παιδίσκας, καμήλους καὶ ὄνους.
36Sarah, my master’s wife, bore a son to my master when she was old. He has given all that he has to him.
36καὶ ἔτεκε Σάρρα ἡ γυνὴ τοῦ κυρίου μου υἱὸν ἕνα τῷ κυρίῳ μου μετὰ τὸ γηράσαι αὐτόν, καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ ὅσα ἦν αὐτῷ.
37My master made me swear, saying, ‘You shall not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I live,
37καὶ ὥρκισέ με ὁ κύριός μου, λέγων· οὐ λήψῃ γυναῖκα τῷ υἱῷ μου ἀπὸ τῶν θυγατέρων τῶν Χαναναίων, ἐν οἷς ἐγὼ παροικῶ ἐν τῇ γῇ αὐτῶν,
38but you shall go to my father’s house, and to my relatives, and take a wife for my son.’
38ἀλλ᾿ ἢ εἰς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ πατρός μου πορεύσῃ καὶ εἰς τὴν φυλήν μου καὶ λήψῃ γυναῖκα τῷ υἱῷ μου ἐκεῖθεν.
39I asked my master, ‘What if the woman will not follow me?’
39εἶπα δὲ τῷ κυρίῳ μου· μήποτε οὐ πορεύσεται ἡ γυνὴ μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ.
40He said to me, ‘The LORD, before whom I walk, will send his angel with you, and prosper your way. You shall take a wife for my son from my relatives, and of my father’s house.
40καὶ εἶπέ μοι· Κύριος ὁ Θεός, ᾧ εὐηρέστησα ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ, αὐτὸς ἐξαποστελεῖ τὸν ἄγγελον αὐτοῦ μετὰ σοῦ καὶ εὐοδώσει τὴν ὁδόν σου, καὶ λήψῃ γυναῖκα τῷ υἱῷ μου ἐκ τῆς φυλῆς μου καὶ ἐκ τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ πατρός μου.
41Then you will be clear from my oath, when you come to my relatives. If they don’t give her to you, you shall be clear from my oath.’
41τότε ἀθῷος ἔσῃ ἀπὸ τῆς ἀρᾶς μου· ἡνίκα γὰρ ἐὰν ἔλθῃς εἰς τὴν φυλήν μου καὶ μή σοι δῶσι, καὶ ἔσῃ ἀθῷος ἀπὸ τοῦ ὁρκισμοῦ μου.
42I came today to the spring, and said, ‘The LORD, the God of my master Abraham, if now you do prosper my way which I go—
42καὶ ἐλθὼν σήμερον ἐπὶ τὴν πηγὴν εἶπα· Κύριε ὁ Θεὸς τοῦ κυρίου μου Ἁβραάμ, εἰ σὺ εὐοδοῖς τὴν ὁδόν μου, ἐν ᾗ νῦν ἐγὼ πορεύομαι ἐν αὐτῇ,
43behold, I am standing by this spring of water. Let it happen, that the maiden who comes out to draw, to whom I will say, “Please give me a little water from your pitcher to drink,”
43ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐφέστηκα ἐπὶ τῆς πηγῆς τοῦ ὕδατος, καὶ αἱ θυγατέρες τῶν ἀνθρώπων τῆς πόλεως ἐκπορεύονται ἀντλῆσαι ὕδωρ, καὶ ἔσται ἡ παρθένος, ᾗ ἂν ἐγὼ εἴπω, πότισόν με ἐκ τῆς ὑδρίας σου μικρὸν ὕδωρ,
44then she tells me, “Drink, and I will also draw for your camels,”—let her be the woman whom the LORD has appointed for my master’s son.’
44καὶ εἴπῃ μοι, καὶ σὺ πίε καὶ ταῖς καμήλοις σου ὑδρεύσομαι, αὕτη ἡ γυνή, ἣν ἡτοίμασε Κύριος τῷ ἑαυτοῦ θεράποντι Ἰσαάκ, καὶ ἐν τούτῳ γνώσομαι, ὅτι πεποίηκας ἔλεος τῷ κυρίῳ μου Ἁβραάμ.
45Before I had finished speaking in my heart, behold, Rebekah came out with her pitcher on her shoulder. She went down to the spring, and drew. I said to her, ‘Please let me drink.’
45καὶ ἐγένετο πρὸ τοῦ συντελέσαι με λαλοῦντα ἐν τῇ διανοίᾳ μου, εὐθὺς Ρεβέκκα ἐξεπορεύετο ἔχουσα τὴν ὑδρίαν ἐπὶ τῶν ὤμων καὶ κατέβη ἐπὶ τὴν πηγὴν καὶ ὑδρεύσατο. εἶπα δὲ αὐτῇ· πότισόν με.
46She hurried and let down her pitcher from her shoulder, and said, ‘Drink, and I will also give your camels a drink.’ So I drank, and she also gave the camels a drink.
46καί σπεύσασα καθεῖλε τὴν ὑδρίαν ἐπὶ τὸν βραχίονα αὐτῆς ἀφ᾿ ἑαυτῆς καὶ εἶπε· πίε σύ, καὶ τὰς καμήλους σου ποτιῶ. καὶ ἔπιον καὶ τὰς καμήλους ἐπότισε.
47I asked her, and said, ‘Whose daughter are you?’ She said, ‘The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor’s son, whom Milcah bore to him.’ I put the ring on her nose, and the bracelets on her hands.
47καὶ ἠρώτησα αὐτήν· καὶ εἶπα· θυγάτηρ τίνος εἶ; ἀνάγγειλόν μοι. ἡ δὲ ἔφη· θυγάτηρ Βαθουήλ εἰμι τοῦ υἱοῦ Ναχώρ, ὃν ἔτεκεν αὐτῷ Μελχά. καὶ περιέθηκα αὐτῇ τὰ ἐνώτια καί τὰ ψέλλια περὶ τὰς χεῖρας αὐτῆς·
48I bowed my head, and worshiped the LORD, and blessed the LORD, the God of my master Abraham, who had led me in the right way to take my master’s brother’s daughter for his son.
48καὶ εὐδοκήσας προσεκύνησα τῷ Κυρίῳ καὶ εὐλόγησα Κύριον τὸν Θεὸν τοῦ κυρίου μου Ἁβραάμ, ὃς εὐώδωσέ με ἐν ὁδῷ ἀληθείας, λαβεῖν τὴν θυγατέρα τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ τοῦ κυρίου μου τῷ υἱῷ αὐτοῦ.
49Now if you will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me. If not, tell me, that I may turn to the right hand, or to the left.”
49εἰ οὖν ποιεῖτε ὑμεῖς ἔλεος καὶ δικαιοσύνην πρὸς τὸν κύριόν μου, ἀπαγγείλατέ μοι, εἰ δὲ μή, ἀπαγγείλατέ μοι, ἵνα ἐπιστρέψω εἰς δεξιὰν ἢ ἀριστεράν.
50Then Laban and Bethuel answered, “The thing proceeds from the LORD. We can’t speak to you bad or good.
50Ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ Λάβαν καὶ Βαθουὴλ εἶπαν· παρὰ Κυρίου ἐξῆλθε τὸ πρόσταγμα τοῦτο· οὐ δυνησόμεθα οὖν σοι ἀντειπεῖν κακὸν ἢ καλόν.
51Behold, Rebekah is before you. Take her, and go, and let her be your master’s son’s wife, as the LORD has spoken.”
51ἰδοὺ Ρεβέκκα ἐνώπιόν σου· λαβὼν ἀπότρεχε. καί ἔστω γυνὴ τῷ υἱῷ τοῦ κυρίου σου, καθὰ ἐλάλησε Κύριος.
52When Abraham’s servant heard their words, he bowed himself down to the earth to the LORD.
52ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῷ ἀκοῦσαι τὸν παῖδα τοῦ Ἁβραὰμ τῶν ρημάτων τούτων, προσεκύνησεν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν τῷ Κυρίῳ.
53The servant brought out jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and clothing, and gave them to Rebekah. He also gave precious things to her brother and her mother.
53καὶ ἐξενέγκας ὁ παῖς σκεύη ἀργυρᾶ καὶ χρυσᾶ καὶ ἱματισμὸν ἔδωκε τῇ Ρεβέκκᾳ καὶ δῶρα ἔδωκε τῷ ἀδελφῷ αὐτῆς καὶ τῇ μητρὶ αὐτῆς.
54They ate and drank, he and the men who were with him, and stayed all night. They rose up in the morning, and he said, “Send me away to my master.”
54καὶ ἔφαγον καὶ ἔπιον καὶ αὐτὸς καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες οἱ μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ ὄντες, καὶ ἐκοιμήθησαν. Καὶ ἀναστὰς τὸ πρωΐ εἶπεν· ἐκπέμψατέ με, ἵνα ἀπέλθω πρὸς τὸν κύριόν μου.
55Her brother and her mother said, “Let the young lady stay with us a few days, at least ten. After that she will go.”
55εἶπαν δὲ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτῆς καὶ ἡ μήτηρ· μεινάτω ἡ παρθένος μεθ᾿ ἡμῶν ἡμέρας ὡσεὶ δέκα, καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα ἀπελεύσεται.
56He said to them, “Don’t hinder me, since the LORD has prospered my way. Send me away that I may go to my master.”
56ὁ δὲ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτούς· μὴ κατέχετέ με, καὶ Κύριος εὐώδωσε τὴν ὁδόν μου ἐν ἐμοί· ἐκπέμψατέ με, ἵνα ἀπέλθω πρὸς τὸν κύριόν μου.
57They said, “We will call the young lady, and ask her.”
57οἱ δὲ εἶπαν· καλέσωμεν τὴν παῖδα καὶ ἐρωτήσωμεν τὸ στόμα αὐτῆς.
58They called Rebekah, and said to her, “Will you go with this man?” She said, “I will go.”
58καὶ ἐκάλεσαν τὴν Ρεβέκκαν καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῇ· πορεύσῃ μετὰ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου τούτου; ἡ δὲ εἶπε· πορεύσομαι.
59They sent away Rebekah, their sister, with her nurse, Abraham’s servant, and his men.
59καὶ ἐξέπεμψαν Ρεβέκκαν τὴν ἀδελφὴν αὐτῶν καὶ τὰ ὑπάρχοντα αὐτῆς καὶ τὸν παῖδα τοῦ Ἁβραὰμ καὶ τοὺς μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ.
60They blessed Rebekah, and said to her, “Our sister, may you be the mother of thousands of ten thousands, and let your offspring possess the gate of those who hate them.”
60καὶ εὐλόγησαν Ρεβέκκαν καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῇ· ἀδελφὴ ἡμῶν εἶ· γίνου εἰς χιλιάδας μυριάδων, καὶ κληρονομησάτω τὸ σπέρμα σου τὰς πόλεις τῶν ὑπεναντίων.
61Rebekah arose with her ladies. They rode on the camels, and followed the man. The servant took Rebekah, and went his way.
61ἀναστᾶσα δὲ Ρεβέκκα καὶ αἱ ἅβραι αὐτῆς, ἐπέβησαν ἐπὶ τὰς καμήλους καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν μετὰ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου, καὶ ἀναλαβὼν ὁ παῖς τὴν Ρεβέκκαν ἀπῆλθεν.
62Isaac came from the way of Beer Lahai Roi, for he lived in the land of the South.
62Ἰσαὰκ δὲ διεπορεύετο διὰ τῆς ἐρήμου κατὰ τὸ φρέαρ τῆς ὁράσεως· αὐτὸς δὲ κατώκει ἐν τῇ γῇ τῇ πρὸς λίβα.
63Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the evening. He lifted up his eyes and looked. Behold, there were camels coming.
63καὶ ἐξῆλθεν Ἰσαὰκ ἀδολεσχῆσαι εἰς τὸ πεδίον τὸ πρὸς δείλης καὶ ἀναβλέψας τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς αὐτοῦ εἶδε καμήλους ἐρχομένας.
64Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she got off the camel.
64καὶ ἀναβλέψασα Ρεβέκκα τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς εἶδε τὸν Ἰσαὰκ καὶ κατεπήδησεν ἀπὸ τῆς καμήλου.
65She said to the servant, “Who is the man who is walking in the field to meet us?” The servant said, “It is my master.” She took her veil, and covered herself.
65καὶ εἶπε τῷ παιδί· τίς ἐστιν ὁ ἄνθρωπος ἐκεῖνος ὁ πορευόμενος ἐν τῷ πεδίῳ εἰς συνάντησιν ἡμῖν; εἶπε δὲ ὁ παῖς· οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ κύριός μου. ἡ δὲ λαβοῦσα τὸ θέριστρον περιεβάλετο.
66The servant told Isaac all the things that he had done.
66καὶ διηγήσατο ὁ παῖς τῷ Ἰσαὰκ πάντα τὰ ρήματα, ἃ ἐποίησεν.
67Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah’s tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife. He loved her. So Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death.
67εἰσῆλθε δὲ Ἰσαὰκ εἰς τὸν οἶκον τῆς μητρὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔλαβε τὴν Ρεβέκκαν, καὶ ἐγένετο αὐτοῦ γυνή, καὶ ἠγάπησεν αὐτήν· καὶ παρεκλήθη Ἰσαὰκ περὶ Σάρρας τῆς μητρὸς αὐτοῦ.
