Genesis 26

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	GREEK BIBLE
1 There was a famine in the land (distinct from the earlier one that had occurred in the days of Abraham), and Isaac went down to Abimelech, king of the Philistines in Gerar.	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.
2 The LORD appeared to him and said: "Do not go down to Egypt, but continue to camp wherever in this land I tell you.	2 Εφανη δε εις αυτον ο Κυριος και ειπε, Μη καταβης εις Αιγυπτον? κατοικησον εν τη γη την οποιαν θελω σοι ειπει?
3 Stay in this land, and I will be with you and bless you; for to you and your descendants I will give all these lands, in fulfillment of the oath that I swore to your father Abraham.	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?
4 I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and give them all these lands, and in your descendants all the nations of the earth shall find blessing--	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?
5 this because Abraham obeyed me, keeping my mandate (my commandments, my ordinances, and my instructions)."	5 επειδη ο Αβρααμ υπηκουσεν εις την φωνην μου, και εφυλαξε τα προσταγματα μου, τας εντολας μου, τα διαταγματα μου και τους νομους μου.
6 So Isaac settled in Gerar.	6 Και κατωκησεν ο Ισαακ εν Γεραροις.
7 When the men of the place asked questions about his wife, he answered, "She is my sister." He was afraid, if he called her his wife, the men of the place would kill him on account of Rebekah, since she was very beautiful.	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.
8 But when he had been there for a long time, Abimelech, king of the Philistines, happened to look out of a window and was surprised to see Isaac fondling his wife Rebekah.	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.
9 He called for Isaac and said: "She must certainly be your wife! How could you have said, 'She is my sister'?" Isaac replied, "I thought I might lose my life on her account."	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.
10 "How could you do this to us!" exclaimed Abimelech. "It would have taken very little for one of the men to lie with your wife, and you would have thus brought guilt upon us!"	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.
11 Abimelech therefore gave this warning to all his men: "Anyone who molests this man or his wife shall forthwith be put to death."	11 Και προσεταξεν ο Αβιμελεχ εις παντα τον λαον, λεγων, Οστις εγγιση τον ανθρωπον τουτον η την γυναικα αυτου, θελει εξαπαντος θανατωθη.
12 Isaac sowed a crop in that region and reaped a hundredfold the same year. Since the LORD blessed him,	12 Εσπειρε δε ο Ισαακ εν τη γη εκεινη και εσυναξε κατ' εκεινον τον χρονον εκατονταπλασια? και ευλογησεν αυτον ο Κυριος.
13 he became richer and richer all the time, until he was very wealthy indeed.	13 Και εμεγαλυνετο ο ανθρωπος και επροχωρει αυξανομενος, εωσου εγεινε μεγας σφοδρα?
14 He acquired such flocks and herds, and so many work animals, that the Philistines became envious of him.	14 και απεκτησε προβατα και βοας και δουλους πολλους? εφθονησαν δε αυτον οι Φιλισταιοι.
15 (The Philistines had stopped up and filled with dirt all the wells that his father's servants had dug back in the days of his father Abraham.)	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.
16 So Abimelech said to Isaac, "Go away from us; you have become far too numerous for us."	16 Και ειπεν ο Αβιμελεχ προς τον Ισαακ, Απελθε αφ' ημων, διοτι εγεινες δυνατωτερος ημων σφοδρα.
17 Isaac left there and made the Wadi Gerar his regular campsite.	17 Και απηλθεν εκειθεν ο Ισαακ και εστησε την σκηνην αυτου εν τη κοιλαδι των Γεραρων και κατωκησεν εκει.
18 (Isaac reopened the wells which his father's servants had dug back in the days of his father Abraham and which the Philistines had stopped up after Abraham's death; he gave them the same names that his father had given them.)	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.
19 But when Isaac's servants dug in the wadi and reached spring water in their well,	19 Και εσκαψαν οι δουλοι του Ισαακ εν τη κοιλαδι και ευρηκαν εκει φρεαρ υδατος ζωντος.
20 the shepherds of Gerar quarreled with Isaac's servants, saying, "The water belongs to us!" So the well was called Esek, because they had challenged him there.	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.
21 Then they dug another well, and they quarreled over that one too; so it was called Sitnah.	21 Και εσκαψαν αλλο φρεαρ και ελογομαχησαν και περι αυτου? δια τουτο ωνομασεν αυτο Σιτνα.
22 When he had moved on from there, he dug still another well; but over this one they did not quarrel. It was called Rehoboth, because he said, "The LORD has now given us ample room, and we shall flourish in the land."	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.
23 From there Isaac went up to Beer-sheba.	23 Και εκειθεν ανεβη εις Βηρ-σαβεε.
24 The same night the LORD appeared to him and said: "I am the God of your father Abraham. You have no need to fear, since I am with you. I will bless you and multiply your descendants for the sake of my servant Abraham."	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.
25 So he built an altar there and invoked the LORD by name. After he had pitched his tent there, his servants began to dig a well nearby.	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.
26 Abimelech had meanwhile come to him from Gerar, accompanied by Ahuzzath, his councilor, and Phicol, the general of his army.	26 Τοτε ο Αβιμελεχ υπηγε προς αυτον απο Γεραρων, και Οχοζαθ ο οικειος αυτου, και Φιχολ ο αρχιστρατηγος της δυναμεως αυτου.
27 Isaac asked them, "Why have you come to me, seeing that you hate me and have driven me away from you?"	27 Και ειπε προς αυτους ο Ισαακ, Δια τι ηλθετε προς εμε, αφου σεις με εμισησατε και με εδιωξατε απο σας;
28 They answered: "We are convinced that the LORD is with you, so we propose that there be a sworn agreement between our two sides--between you and us. Let us make a pact with 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,
29 you shall not act unkindly toward us, just as we have not molested you, but have always acted kindly toward you and have let you depart in peace. Henceforth, 'The LORD'S blessing be upon you!'"	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.
30 Isaac then made a feast for them, and they ate and drank.	30 Και εκαμεν εις αυτους συμποσιον? και εφαγον και επιον.
31 Early the next morning they exchanged oaths. Then Isaac bade them farewell, and they departed from him in peace.	31 Και εσηκωθησαν ενωρις το πρωι, και ωμοσεν ο εις προς τον αλλον? τοτε ο Ισαακ εξαπεστειλεν αυτους, και απηλθον απ' αυτου εν ειρηνη.
32 That same day Isaac's servants came and brought him news about the well they had been digging; they told him, "We have reached water!"	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.
33 He called it Shibah; hence the name of the city, Beer-sheba, to this day.	33 Και ωνομασεν αυτο Σαβεε? δια τουτο ειναι το ονομα της πολεως Βηρ-σαβεε εως της σημερον.
34 When Esau was forty years old, he married Judith, daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Basemath, daughter of Elon the Hivite.	34 Ητο δε ο Ησαυ ετων τεσσαρακοντα, οτε ελαβεν εις γυναικα Ιουδιθ, την θυγατερα Βεηρι του Χετταιου, και Βασεμαθ, την θυγατερα Αιλων του Χετταιου?
35 But they became a source of embitterment to Isaac and Rebekah.	35 και αυται ησαν πικρια ψυχης εις τον Ισαακ και την Ρεβεκκαν.
