Genesis 20

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	GREEK BIBLE
1 Abraham journeyed on to the region of the Negeb, where he settled between Kadesh and Shur. While he stayed in Gerar,	1 Και εκινησεν εκειθεν ο Αβρααμ εις την γην την προς μεσημβριαν, και κατωκησε μεταξυ Καδης και Σουρ? και παρωκησεν εν Γεραροις.
2 he said of his wife Sarah, "She is my sister." So Abimelech, king of Gerar, sent and took Sarah.	2 Και ειπεν ο Αβρααμ περι Σαρρας της γυναικος αυτου, Αδελφη μου ειναι. Εστειλε δε Αβιμελεχ ο βασιλευς των Γεραρων, και ελαβε την Σαρραν.
3 But God came to Abimelech in a dream one night and said to him, "You are about to die because of the woman you have taken, for she has a husband."	3 Και ηλθεν ο Θεος προς τον Αβιμελεχ κατ' οναρ την νυκτα, και ειπε προς αυτον, Ιδου, συ αποθνησκεις εξ αιτιας της γυναικος, την οποιαν ελαβες? διοτι ειναι νενυμφευμενη με ανδρα.
4 Abimelech, who had not approached her, said: "O Lord, would you slay a man even though he is innocent?	4 Ο δε Αβιμελεχ δεν ειχε πλησιασει εις αυτην? και ειπε, Κυριε, ηθελες φονευσει εθνος ετι και δικαιον;
5 He himself told me, 'She is my sister,' and she herself also stated, 'He is my brother.' I did it in good faith and with clean hands."	5 δεν μοι ειπεν αυτος, Αδελφη μου ειναι; και αυτη παλιν, αυτη ειπεν, Αδελφος μου ειναι. Εν ευθυτητι της καρδιας μου και εν καθαροτητι των χειρων μου επραξα τουτο.
6 God answered him in the dream: "Yes, I know you did it in good faith. In fact, it was I who kept you from sinning against me; that is why I did not let you touch her.	6 Ειπε δε προς αυτον ο Θεος κατ' οναρ, Και εγω εγνωρισα οτι εν ευθυτητι της καρδιας σου επραξας τουτο? οθεν και εγω σε εμποδισα απο του να αμαρτησης εις εμε? δια τουτο δεν σε αφηκα να εγγισης αυτην?
7 Therefore, return the man's wife--as a spokesman he will intercede for you--that your life may be saved. If you do not return her, you can be sure that you and all who are yours will certainly die."	7 τωρα λοιπον αποδος την γυναικα προς τον ανθρωπον, διοτι ειναι προφητης? και θελει προσευχηθη υπερ σου και θελεις ζησει? αλλ' εαν δεν αποδωσης αυτην, εξευρε οτι εξαπαντος θελεις αποθανει, συ και παντα οσα εχεις.
8 Early the next morning Abimelech called all his court officials and informed them of everything that had happened, and the men were horrified.	8 Σηκωθεις δε ο Αβιμελεχ ενωρις το πρωι, εκαλεσε παντας τους δουλους αυτου, και ελαλησε παντας τους λογους τουτους εις επηκοον αυτων? και εφοβηθησαν οι ανθρωποι σφοδρα.
9 Then Abimelech summoned Abraham and said to him: "How could you do this to us! What wrong did I do to you that you should have brought such monstrous guilt on me and my kingdom? You have treated me in an intolerable way.	9 Και εκαλεσεν ο Αβιμελεχ τον Αβρααμ και ειπε προς αυτον, Τι επραξας εις ημας; και τι αμαρτημα επραξα εις σε, ωστε επεφερες επ' εμε και επι το βασιλειον μου, αμαρτιαν μεγαλην; επραξας εις εμε πραγμα, το οποιον δεν επρεπε να πραχθη.
10 What were you afraid of," he asked him, "that you should have done such a thing?"	10 Και ειπεν ο Αβιμελεχ προς τον Αβρααμ, Τι ειδες, ωστε να πραξης το πραγμα τουτο;
11 "I was afraid," answered Abraham, "because I thought there would surely be no fear of God in this place, and so they would kill me on account of my wife.	11 Και ειπεν ο Αβρααμ, Επειδη εγω ειπον, Βεβαια δεν ειναι φοβος Θεου εν τω τοπω τουτω και θελουσι με φονευσει δια την γυναικα μου?
12 Besides, she is in truth my sister, but only my father's daughter, not my mother's; and so she became my wife.	12 και ομως αληθως αδελφη μου ειναι, θυγατηρ του πατρος μου, αλλ' ουχι θυγατηρ της μητρος μου? και εγεινε γυνη μου.
13 When God sent me wandering from my father's house, I asked her: 'Would you do me this favor? In whatever place we come to, say that I am your brother.'"	13 και οτε με εκαμεν ο Θεος να εξελθω εκ του οικου του πατρος μου, ειπον προς αυτην, Ταυτην την χαριν θελεις καμει εις εμε? εις παντα τοπον οπου αν υπαγωμεν, λεγε περι εμου, Ουτος ειναι αδελφος μου.
14 Then Abimelech took flocks and herds and male and female slaves and gave them to Abraham; and after he restored his wife Sarah to him,	14 Και ελαβεν ο Αβιμελεχ προβατα και βοας και δουλους και δουλας, και εδωκεν εις τον Αβρααμ, και απεδωκεν εις αυτον Σαρραν την γυναικα αυτου.
15 he said, "Here, my land lies at your disposal; settle wherever you please."	15 και ειπεν ο Αβιμελεχ, Ιδου, η γη μου εμπροσθεν σου. κατοικησον οπου σοι αρεσκει.
16 To Sarah he said: "See, I have given your brother a thousand shekels of silver. Let that serve you as a vindication before all who are with you; your honor has been preserved with everyone."	16 Και προς την Σαρραν ειπεν, Ιδου, εδωκα χιλια αργυρια εις τον αδελφον σου? ιδου, αυτος ειναι εις σε σκεπη των οφθαλμων προς παντας τους μετα σου και προς παντας τους αλλους. Ουτως αυτη επεπληχθη.
17 Abraham then interceded with God, and God restored health to Abimelech, that is, to his wife and his maidservants, so that they could bear children;	17 Προσηυχηθη δε ο Αβρααμ προς τον Θεον? και εθεραπευσεν ο Θεος τον Αβιμελεχ και την γυναικα αυτου και τας θεραπαινας αυτου, και ετεκνοποιησαν.
18 for God had tightly closed every womb in Abimelech's household on account of Abraham's wife Sarah.	18 διοτι ο Κυριος ειχε κλεισει διολου πασαν μητραν εν τη οικια του Αβιμελεχ, εξ αιτιας Σαρρας της γυναικος του Αβρααμ.
