GREEK BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Εγεινε δε πεινα εν τη γη, εκτος της προτερας πεινης, της γενομενης επι των ημερων του Αβρααμ. Και υπηγεν ο Ισαακ προς τον Αβιμελεχ, βασιλεα των Φιλισταιων, εις Γεραρα.	1 Then, when a famine arose over the land, after that barrenness which had happened in the days of Abraham, Isaac went to Abimelech, king of the Palestinians, in Gerar.
2 Εφανη δε εις αυτον ο Κυριος και ειπε, Μη καταβης εις Αιγυπτον? κατοικησον εν τη γη την οποιαν θελω σοι ειπει?	2 And the Lord appeared to him, and he said: “Do not descend into Egypt, but rest in the land that I will tell you,
3 παροικει εν τη γη ταυτη, και εγω θελω εισθαι μετα σου, και θελω σε ευλογησει διοτι εις σε και εις το σπερμα σου θελω δωσει παντας τους τοπους τουτους? και θελω εκπληρωσει τον ορκον, τον οποιον ωμοσα προς Αβρααμ τον πατερα σου?	3 and sojourn in it, and I will be with you, and I will bless you. For to you and to your offspring I will give all these regions, completing the oath that I promised to Abraham your father.
4 και θελω πληθυνει το σπερμα σου ως τα αστρα του ουρανου, και θελω δωσει εις το σπερμα σου παντας τους τοπους τουτους, και θελουσιν ευλογηθη εν τω σπερματι σου παντα τα εθνη της γης?	4 And I will multiply your offspring like the stars of heaven. And I will give to your posterity all these regions. And in your offspring all the nations of the earth will be blessed,
5 επειδη ο Αβρααμ υπηκουσεν εις την φωνην μου, και εφυλαξε τα προσταγματα μου, τας εντολας μου, τα διαταγματα μου και τους νομους μου.	5 because Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my precepts and commandments, and observed the ceremonies and the laws.”
6 Και κατωκησεν ο Ισαακ εν Γεραροις.	6 And so Isaac remained in Gerar.
7 Ηρωτησαν δε οι ανδρες του τοπου περι της γυναικος αυτου? και ειπεν, Αδελφη μου ειναι? διοτι εφοβηθη να ειπη, Γυνη μου ειναι? λεγων, Μηπως με φονευσωσιν οι ανδρες του τοπου δια την Ρεβεκκαν? επειδη ητο ωραια την οψιν.	7 And when he was questioned by the men of that place about his wife, he answered, “She is my sister.” For he was afraid to confess her to be his mate, thinking that perhaps they would put him to death because of her beauty.
8 Και αφου διετριψεν εκει πολλας ημερας, Αβιμελεχ ο βασιλευς των Φιλισταιων, κυψας απο της θυριδος ειδε, και ιδου, ο Ισαακ επαιζε μετα Ρεβεκκας της γυναικος αυτου.	8 And when very many days had passed, and he had remained in the same place, Abimelech, king of the Palestinians, gazing through a window, saw him being playful with Rebekah, his wife.
9 Εκαλεσε δε ο Αβιμελεχ τον Ισαακ και ειπεν, Ιδου, βεβαιως γυνη σου ειναι αυτη? δια τι λοιπον ειπας, Αδελφη μου ειναι; Και ειπε προς αυτον ο Ισαακ, διοτι ειπον, Μηπως αποθανω εξ αιτιας αυτης.	9 And summoning him, he said: “It is clear that she is your wife. Why did you falsely claim her to be your sister?” He answered, “I was afraid, lest I might die because of her.”
10 Και ειπεν ο Αβιμελεχ, Τι ειναι τουτο, το οποιον εκαμες εις ημας; παρ' ολιγον ηθελε κοιμηθη τις εκ του λαου μετα της γυναικος σου, και ηθελες φερει εφ' ημας ανομιαν.	10 And Abimelech said: “Why have you burdened us? Someone from the people could have lain with your wife, and you would have brought a great sin upon us.” And he instructed all the people, saying,
11 Και προσεταξεν ο Αβιμελεχ εις παντα τον λαον, λεγων, Οστις εγγιση τον ανθρωπον τουτον η την γυναικα αυτου, θελει εξαπαντος θανατωθη.	11 “Whoever will touch the wife of this man will die a death.”
12 Εσπειρε δε ο Ισαακ εν τη γη εκεινη και εσυναξε κατ' εκεινον τον χρονον εκατονταπλασια? και ευλογησεν αυτον ο Κυριος.	12 Then Isaac sowed in that land, and he found, in that same year, one hundredfold. And the Lord blessed him.
13 Και εμεγαλυνετο ο ανθρωπος και επροχωρει αυξανομενος, εωσου εγεινε μεγας σφοδρα?	13 And the man was enriched, and he continued prospering as well as increasing, until he became very great.
14 και απεκτησε προβατα και βοας και δουλους πολλους? εφθονησαν δε αυτον οι Φιλισταιοι.	14 Likewise, he had possessions of sheep and of herds, and a very large family. Because of this, the Palestinians envied him,
15 Και παντα τα φρεατα, τα οποια εσκαψαν οι δουλοι του πατρος αυτου επι των ημερων Αβρααμ του πατρος αυτου, ενεφραξαν ταυτα οι Φιλισταιοι και εγεμισαν αυτα χωμα.	15 so, at that time, they obstructed all the wells that the servants of his father Abraham had dug, filling them with soil.
16 Και ειπεν ο Αβιμελεχ προς τον Ισαακ, Απελθε αφ' ημων, διοτι εγεινες δυνατωτερος ημων σφοδρα.	16 It reached a point where Abimelech himself said to Isaac, “Move away from us, for you have become very much more powerful than we.”
17 Και απηλθεν εκειθεν ο Ισαακ και εστησε την σκηνην αυτου εν τη κοιλαδι των Γεραρων και κατωκησεν εκει.	17 And departing, he then went toward the torrent of Gerar, and he dwelt there.
18 Και ηνοιξε παλιν ο Ισαακ τα φρεατα του υδατος, τα οποια εσκαψαν επι των ημερων Αβρααμ του πατρος αυτου, οι δε Φιλισταιοι ενεφραξαν αυτα μετα τον θανατον του Αβρααμ? και ωνομασεν αυτα κατα τα ονοματα, με τα οποια ο πατηρ αυτου ειχεν ονομασει αυτα.	18 Again, he dug up other wells, which the servants of his father Abraham had dug, and which, after his death, the Philistines had formerly obstructed. And he called them by the same names that his father had called them before.
19 Και εσκαψαν οι δουλοι του Ισαακ εν τη κοιλαδι και ευρηκαν εκει φρεαρ υδατος ζωντος.	19 And they dug in the torrent, and they found living water.
20 Ελογομαχησαν δε οι ποιμενες των Γεραρων μετα των ποιμενων του Ισαακ, λεγοντες, Ιδικον μας ειναι το υδωρ? και ωνομασε το φρεαρ Εσεκ? διοτι εφιλονεικησαν μετ' αυτου.	20 But in that place also the shepherds of Gerar argued against the shepherds of Isaac, by saying, “It is our water.” For this reason, he called the name of the well, because of what had happened, ‘Calumny.’
21 Και εσκαψαν αλλο φρεαρ και ελογομαχησαν και περι αυτου? δια τουτο ωνομασεν αυτο Σιτνα.	21 Then they dug up yet another one. And over that one also they fought, and he called it, ‘Enmity.’
22 Και μετοικησας εκειθεν εσκαψεν αλλο φρεαρ, και περι τουτου δεν ελογομαχησαν? και ωνομασεν αυτο Ρεχωβωθ, λεγων, διοτι τωρα επλατυνεν ημας ο Κυριος και ηυξησεν ημας επι της γης.	22 Advancing from there, he dug another well, over which they did not contend. And so he called its name, ‘Latitude,’ saying, “Now the Lord has expanded us and caused us to increase across the land.”
23 Και εκειθεν ανεβη εις Βηρ-σαβεε.	23 Then he ascended from that place into Beersheba,
24 Και εφανη εις αυτον ο Κυριος την νυκτα εκεινην, και ειπεν, Εγω ειμαι ο Θεος Αβρααμ του πατρος σου? μη φοβου, διοτι εγω ειμαι μετα σου, και θελω σε ευλογησει και θελω πληθυνει το σπερμα σου, δια Αβρααμ τον δουλον μου.	24 where the Lord appeared to him on the same night, saying: “I am the God of Abraham your father. Do not be afraid, for I am with you. I will bless you, and I will multiply your offspring because of my servant Abraham.”
25 Και ωκοδομησεν εκει θυσιαστηριον και επεκαλεσθη το ονομα του Κυριου? και εστησεν εκει την σκηνην αυτου? εσκαψαν δε εκει οι δουλοι του Ισαακ φρεαρ.	25 And so he built an altar there. And he invoked the name of the Lord, and he stretched out his tent. And he instructed his servants to dig a well.
26 Τοτε ο Αβιμελεχ υπηγε προς αυτον απο Γεραρων, και Οχοζαθ ο οικειος αυτου, και Φιχολ ο αρχιστρατηγος της δυναμεως αυτου.	26 When Abimelech, and Ahuzzath, his friend, and Phicol, the leader of the military, had arrived from Gerar to that place,
27 Και ειπε προς αυτους ο Ισαακ, Δια τι ηλθετε προς εμε, αφου σεις με εμισησατε και με εδιωξατε απο σας;	27 Isaac said to them, “Why have you come to me, a man whom you hate, and whom you have expelled from among you?”
28 οι δε ειπον, Ειδομεν φανερα, οτι ο Κυριος ειναι μετα σου, και ειπομεν, Ας γεινη τωρα ορκος μεταξυ ημων, μεταξυ ημων και σου, και ας καμωμεν συνθηκην μετα σου,	28 And they responded: “We saw that the Lord is with you, and therefore we said: Let there be an oath between us, and let us initiate a pact,
29 οτι δεν θελεις καμει κακον εις ημας, καθως ημεις δεν σε ηγγισαμεν, και καθως επραξαμεν εις σε μονον καλον, και σε εξαπεστειλαμεν εν ειρηνη? τωρα συ εισαι ευλογημενος του Κυριου.	29 so that you may not do us any kind of harm, just as we have touched nothing of yours, and have not caused any injury to you, but with peace we released you, augmented by the blessing of the Lord.”
30 Και εκαμεν εις αυτους συμποσιον? και εφαγον και επιον.	30 Therefore, he made them a feast, and after the food and drink,
31 Και εσηκωθησαν ενωρις το πρωι, και ωμοσεν ο εις προς τον αλλον? τοτε ο Ισαακ εξαπεστειλεν αυτους, και απηλθον απ' αυτου εν ειρηνη.	31 arising in the morning, they swore to one another. And Isaac sent them away peacefully to their own place.
32 Και την ημεραν εκεινην ηλθον οι δουλοι του Ισαακ και ανηγγειλαν προς αυτον περι του φρεατος το οποιον εσκαψαν, και ειπαν προς αυτον, Ευρηκαμεν υδωρ.	32 Then, behold, on the same day the servants of Isaac came, reporting to him about a well which they had dug, and saying: “We have found water.”
33 Και ωνομασεν αυτο Σαβεε? δια τουτο ειναι το ονομα της πολεως Βηρ-σαβεε εως της σημερον.	33 Therefore, he called it, ‘Abundance.’ And the name of the city was established as ‘Beersheba,’ even to the present day.
34 Ητο δε ο Ησαυ ετων τεσσαρακοντα, οτε ελαβεν εις γυναικα Ιουδιθ, την θυγατερα Βεηρι του Χετταιου, και Βασεμαθ, την θυγατερα Αιλων του Χετταιου?	34 In truth, at forty years of age, Esau took wives: Judith, the daughter of Beeri, the Hittite, and Basemath, the daughter of Elon, of the same place.
35 και αυται ησαν πικρια ψυχης εις τον Ισαακ και την Ρεβεκκαν.	35 And they both offended the mind of Isaac and Rebekah.
