Genesis 26

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	LXX
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 εγενετο δε λιμος επι της γης χωρις του λιμου του προτερον ος εγενετο εν τω χρονω τω αβρααμ επορευθη δε ισαακ προς αβιμελεχ βασιλεα φυλιστιιμ 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 ωφθη δε αυτω κυριος και ειπεν μη καταβης εις αιγυπτον κατοικησον δε εν τη γη η αν σοι ειπω
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 και παροικει εν τη γη ταυτη και εσομαι μετα σου και ευλογησω σε σοι γαρ και τω σπερματι σου δωσω πασαν την γην ταυτην και στησω τον ορκον μου ον ωμοσα αβρααμ τω πατρι 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 πληθυνω το σπερμα σου ως τους αστερας του ουρανου και δωσω τω σπερματι σου πασαν την γην ταυτην και ενευλογηθησονται 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 ανθ' ων υπηκουσεν αβρααμ ο πατηρ σου της εμης φωνης και εφυλαξεν τα προσταγματα μου και τας εντολας μου και τα δικαιωματα μου και τα νομιμα μου
6 So Isaac settled in Gerar.	6 και κατωκησεν 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 επηρωτησαν δε οι ανδρες του τοπου περι ρεβεκκας της γυναικος αυτου και ειπεν αδελφη μου εστιν εφοβηθη γαρ ειπειν οτι γυνη μου εστιν μηποτε αποκτεινωσιν αυτον οι ανδρες του τοπου περι ρεβεκκας οτι ωραια τη οψει ην
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 εγενετο δε πολυχρονιος εκει παρακυψας δε αβιμελεχ ο βασιλευς γεραρων δια της θυριδος ειδεν τον ισαακ παιζοντα 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 εκαλεσεν δε αβιμελεχ τον ισαακ και ειπεν αυτω αρα γε γυνη σου εστιν τι οτι ειπας αδελφη μου εστιν ειπεν δε αυτω ισαακ ειπα γαρ μηποτε αποθανω δι' αυτην
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 ειπεν δε αυτω αβιμελεχ τι τουτο εποιησας ημιν μικρου εκοιμηθη τις του γενους μου μετα της γυναικος σου και επηγαγες εφ' ημας αγνοιαν
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 συνεταξεν δε αβιμελεχ παντι τω λαω αυτου λεγων πας ο απτομενος του ανθρωπου τουτου η της γυναικος αυτου θανατου ενοχος εσται
12 Isaac sowed a crop in that region and reaped a hundredfold the same year. Since the LORD blessed him,	12 εσπειρεν δε ισαακ εν τη γη εκεινη και ευρεν εν τω ενιαυτω εκεινω εκατοστευουσαν κριθην ευλογησεν δε αυτον κυριος
13 he became richer and richer all the time, until he was very wealthy indeed.	13 και υψωθη ο ανθρωπος και προβαινων μειζων εγινετο εως ου μεγας εγενετο σφοδρα
14 He acquired such flocks and herds, and so many work animals, that the Philistines became envious of him.	14 εγενετο δε αυτω κτηνη προβατων και κτηνη βοων και γεωργια πολλα εζηλωσαν δε αυτον οι φυλιστιιμ
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 α ωρυξαν οι παιδες του πατρος αυτου εν τω χρονω του πατρος αυτου ενεφραξαν αυτα οι φυλιστιιμ και επλησαν αυτα γης
16 So Abimelech said to Isaac, "Go away from us; you have become far too numerous for us."	16 ειπεν δε αβιμελεχ προς ισαακ απελθε αφ' ημων οτι δυνατωτερος ημων εγενου σφοδρα
17 Isaac left there and made the Wadi Gerar his regular campsite.	17 και απηλθεν εκειθεν ισαακ και κατελυσεν εν τη φαραγγι 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 παλιν ισαακ ωρυξεν τα φρεατα του υδατος α ωρυξαν οι παιδες αβρααμ του πατρος αυτου και ενεφραξαν αυτα οι φυλιστιιμ μετα το αποθανειν αβρααμ τον πατερα αυτου και επωνομασεν αυτοις ονοματα κατα τα ονοματα α επωνομασεν αβρααμ ο πατηρ αυτου
19 But when Isaac's servants dug in the wadi and reached spring water in their well,	19 και ωρυξαν οι παιδες ισαακ εν τη φαραγγι γεραρων και ευρον 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 και εμαχεσαντο οι ποιμενες γεραρων μετα των ποιμενων ισαακ φασκοντες αυτων ειναι το υδωρ και εκαλεσεν το ονομα του φρεατος αδικια ηδικησαν γαρ αυτον
21 Then they dug another well, and they quarreled over that one too; so it was called Sitnah.	21 απαρας δε ισαακ εκειθεν ωρυξεν φρεαρ ετερον εκρινοντο δε και περι εκεινου και επωνομασεν το ονομα αυτου εχθρια
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 απαρας δε εκειθεν ωρυξεν φρεαρ ετερον και ουκ εμαχεσαντο περι αυτου και επωνομασεν το ονομα αυτου ευρυχωρια λεγων διοτι νυν επλατυνεν κυριος ημιν και ηυξησεν ημας επι της γης
23 From there Isaac went up to Beer-sheba.	23 ανεβη δε εκειθεν επι το φρεαρ του ορκου
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 ωφθη αυτω κυριος εν τη νυκτι εκεινη και ειπεν εγω ειμι ο θεος αβρααμ του πατρος σου μη φοβου μετα σου γαρ ειμι και ηυλογηκα σε και πληθυνω το σπερμα σου δια αβρααμ τον πατερα σου
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 επεκαλεσατο το ονομα κυριου και επηξεν εκει την σκηνην αυτου ωρυξαν δε εκει οι παιδες ισαακ φρεαρ
26 Abimelech had meanwhile come to him from Gerar, accompanied by Ahuzzath, his councilor, and Phicol, the general of his army.	26 και αβιμελεχ επορευθη προς αυτον απο γεραρων και οχοζαθ ο νυμφαγωγος αυτου και φικολ 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 ειπεν αυτοις ισαακ ινα τι ηλθατε προς με υμεις δε εμισησατε με και απεστειλατε με αφ' υμων
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 και ειπαν ιδοντες εωρακαμεν οτι ην κυριος μετα σου και ειπαμεν γενεσθω αρα ανα μεσον ημων και ανα μεσον σου και διαθησομεθα μετα σου διαθηκην
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 μη ποιησειν μεθ' ημων κακον καθοτι ημεις σε ουκ εβδελυξαμεθα και ον τροπον εχρησαμεθα σοι καλως και εξαπεστειλαμεν σε μετ' ειρηνης και νυν συ ευλογητος υπο κυριου
30 Isaac then made a feast for them, and they ate and drank.	30 και εποιησεν αυτοις δοχην 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 ανασταντες το πρωι ωμοσαν ανθρωπος τω πλησιον αυτου και εξαπεστειλεν αυτους ισαακ και απωχοντο απ' αυτου μετα σωτηριας
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 εγενετο δε εν τη ημερα εκεινη και παραγενομενοι οι παιδες ισαακ απηγγειλαν αυτω περι του φρεατος ου ωρυξαν και ειπαν ουχ ευρομεν υδωρ
33 He called it Shibah; hence the name of the city, Beer-sheba, to this day.	33 και εκαλεσεν αυτο ορκος δια τουτο ονομα τη πολει φρεαρ ορκου εως της σημερον ημερας
34 When Esau was forty years old, he married Judith, daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Basemath, daughter of Elon the Hivite.	34 ην δε ησαυ ετων τεσσαρακοντα και ελαβεν γυναικα ιουδιν την θυγατερα βεηρ του χετταιου και την βασεμμαθ θυγατερα αιλων του ευαιου
35 But they became a source of embitterment to Isaac and Rebekah.	35 και ησαν εριζουσαι τω ισαακ και τη ρεβεκκα
