Genesis 28

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	GREEK BIBLE
1 And so Isaac called for Jacob, and he blessed him, and he instructed him, saying: “Do not be willing to accept a mate from the family of Canaan.	1 Και προσκαλεσας ο Ισαακ τον Ιακωβ ευλογησεν αυτον, και παρηγγειλε προς αυτον λεγων, δεν θελεις λαβει γυναικα εκ των θυγατερων Χανααν?
2 But go, and journey to Mesopotamia of Syria, to the house of Bethuel, your mother’s father, and there accept for yourself a wife from the daughters of Laban, your maternal uncle.	2 σηκωθεις υπαγε εις Παδαν-αραμ, εις την οικιαν Βαθουηλ του πατρος της μητρος σου? και εκειθεν λαβε εις σεαυτον γυναικα, εκ των θυγατερων Λαβαν του αδελφου της μητρος σου?
3 And may God almighty bless you, and may he cause you to increase and also to multiply, so that you may be influential among the people.	3 και ο Θεος ο Παντοδυναμος να σε ευλογηση και να σε αυξηση και να σε πληθυνη, ωστε να γεινης εις πληθος λαων?
4 And may he give the blessings of Abraham to you, and to your offspring after you, so that you may possess the land of your sojourning, which he promised to your grandfather.”	4 και να σοι δωση την ευλογιαν του Αβρααμ, εις σε και εις το σπερμα σου μετα σε, δια να κληρονομησης την γην της παροικησεως σου, την οποιαν εδωκεν ο Θεος εις τον Αβρααμ.
5 And when Isaac had dismissed him, setting out, he went to Mesopotamia of Syria, to Laban, the son of Bethuel, the Syrian, the brother to Rebekah, his mother.	5 Και εξαπεστειλεν ο Ισαακ τον Ιακωβ? και υπηγεν εις Παδαν-αραμ προς Λαβαν, τον υιον του Βαθουηλ του Συρου, τον αδελφον Ρεβεκκας της μητρος του Ιακωβ και του Ησαυ.
6 But Esau, seeing that his father had blessed Jacob and had sent him into Mesopotamia of Syria, to take a wife from there, and that, after the blessing, he had instructed him, saying: ‘You shall not accept a wife from the daughters of Canaan,’	6 Ιδων δε ο Ησαυ οτι ευλογησεν ο Ισαακ τον Ιακωβ και εξαπεστειλεν αυτον εις Παδαν-αραμ, δια να λαβη εις εαυτον γυναικα εκειθεν, και οτι, ενω ευλογει αυτον, παρηγγειλεν εις αυτον, λεγων, δεν θελεις λαβει γυναικα εκ των θυγατερων Χανααν?
7 and that Jacob, obeying his parents, had gone into Syria,	7 και οτι υπηκουσεν ο Ιακωβ εις τον πατερα αυτου και την μητερα αυτου? και υπηγεν εις Παδαν-αραμ?
8 having evidence also that his father did not look with favor upon the daughters of Canaan,	8 και ιδων ο Ησαυ οτι αι θυγατερες Χανααν ειναι μισηται εις τους οφθαλμους του πατρος αυτου Ισαακ,
9 he went to Ishmael, and he took as a wife, beside those he had before, Mahalath, the daughter of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, the sister of Nebaioth.	9 υπηγεν ο Ησαυ προς τον Ισμαηλ, και εκτος των αλλων γυναικων αυτου ελαβεν εις εαυτον γυναικα την Μαελεθ, θυγατερα Ισμαηλ του υιου του Αβρααμ, την αδελφην του Ναβαιωθ.
10 Meanwhile Jacob, having departed from Beersheba, continued on to Haran.	10 Και εξηλθεν ο Ιακωβ απο Βηρ-σαβεε, και υπηγεν εις Χαρραν.
11 And when he had arrived at a certain place, where he would rest after the setting of the sun, he took some of the stones that lay there, and placing them under his head, he slept in the same place.	11 Και εφθασεν εις τινα τοπον και διενυκτερευσεν εκει, διοτι ειχε δυσει ο ηλιος? και ελαβεν εκ των λιθων του τοπου και εθεσε προσκεφαλαιον αυτου, και εκοιμηθη εν τω τοπω εκεινω.
12 And he saw in his sleep: a ladder standing upon the earth, with its top touching heaven, also, the Angels of God ascending and descending by it,	12 Και ειδεν ενυπνιον, και ιδου, κλιμαξ εστηριγμενη εις την γην, της οποιας η κορυφη εφθανεν εις τον ουρανον? και ιδου, οι αγγελοι του Θεου ανεβαινον και κατεβαινον επ' αυτης.
13 and the Lord, leaning upon the ladder, saying to him: “I am the Lord, the God of Abraham your father, and the God of Isaac. The land, in which you sleep, I will give to you and to your offspring.	13 Και ιδου, ο Κυριος ιστατο επανωθεν αυτης και ειπεν, Εγω ειμαι Κυριος ο Θεος του Αβρααμ του πατρος σου, και ο Θεος του Ισαακ? την γην, επι της οποιας κοιμασαι, εις σε θελω δωσει αυτην και εις το σπερμα σου.
14 And your offspring will be like the dust of the earth. You will spread abroad to the West, and to the East, and to the North, and to the Meridian. And in you and in your offspring, all the tribes of the earth shall be blessed.	14 και θελει εισθαι το σπερμα σου ως η αμμος της γης, και θελεις εξαπλωθη προς δυσιν και προς ανατολην και προς βορραν και προς νοτον? και θελουσιν ευλογηθη εν σοι, και εν τω σπερματι σου πασαι αι φυλαι της γης?
15 And I will be your guardian wherever you will journey, and I will bring you back into this land. Neither will I dismiss you, until I have accomplished all that I have said.”	15 και ιδου, εγω ειμαι μετα σου, και θελω σε διαφυλαττει πανταχου, οπου αν υπαγης, και θελω σε επαναφερει εις την γην ταυτην? διοτι δεν θελω σε εγκαταλειψει, εωσου καμω οσα ελαλησα προς σε.
16 And when Jacob had awakened from sleep, he said, “Truly, the Lord is in this place, and I did not know it.”	16 Και εξεγερθεις ο Ιακωβ εκ του υπνου αυτου, ειπε, Βεβαια ο Κυριος ειναι εν τω τοπω τουτω, και εγω δεν ηξευρον.
17 And being terrified, he said: “How terrible this place is! This is nothing other than the house of God and the gateway of heaven.”	17 Και εφοβηθη και ειπε, Ποσον φοβερος ειναι ο τοπος ουτος? δεν ειναι τουτο, ειμη οικος Θεου, και αυτη η πυλη του ουρανου.
18 Therefore, Jacob, arising in the morning, took the stone which he had placed under his head, and he set it up as monument, pouring oil over it.	18 Και σηκωθεις ο Ιακωβ ενωρις το πρωι, ελαβε τον λιθον τον οποιον ειχε θεσει προσκεφαλαιον αυτου, και εστησεν αυτον δια στηλην και εχυσεν ελαιον επι την κορυφην αυτης.
19 And he called the name of the city, ‘Bethel,’ which before was called Luz.	19 Και εκαλεσε το ονομα του τοπου εκεινου, Βαιθηλ? το δε ονομα της πολεως εκεινης ητο προτερον Λουζ.
20 And then he made a vow, saying: “If God will be with me, and will guard me along the way by which I walk, and will give me bread to eat and clothing to wear,	20 Και ευχηθη ο Ιακωβ ευχην, λεγων, Αν ο Θεος ηναι μετ' εμου και με διαφυλαξη εν τη οδω ταυτη εις την οποιαν υπαγω, και μοι δωση αρτον να φαγω και ενδυμα να ενδυθω,
21 and if I will return prosperously to my father’s house, then the Lord will be my God,	21 και επιστρεψω εν ειρηνη εις τον οικον του πατρος μου, τοτε ο Κυριος θελει εισθαι Θεος μου?
22 and this stone, which I have set up as a monument, will be called ‘the House of God.’ And from all the things that you will give to me, I will offer tithes to you.”	22 και ο λιθος ουτος, τον οποιον εστησα δια στηλην, θελει εισθαι οικος Θεου? και εκ παντων οσα μοι δωσης, το δεκατον θελω προσφερει εις σε.
