Genesis 15

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	LXX
1 And so, these things having been transacted, the word of the Lord came to Abram by a vision, saying: “Do not be afraid, Abram, I am your protector, and your reward is exceedingly great.”	1 μετα δε τα ρηματα ταυτα εγενηθη ρημα κυριου προς αβραμ εν οραματι λεγων μη φοβου αβραμ εγω υπερασπιζω σου ο μισθος σου πολυς εσται σφοδρα
2 And Abram said: “Lord God, what will you give to me? I may go without children. And the son of the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus.”	2 λεγει δε αβραμ δεσποτα τι μοι δωσεις εγω δε απολυομαι ατεκνος ο δε υιος μασεκ της οικογενους μου ουτος δαμασκος ελιεζερ
3 And Abram added: “Yet to me you have not given offspring. And behold, my servant born in my house will be my heir.”	3 και ειπεν αβραμ επειδη εμοι ουκ εδωκας σπερμα ο δε οικογενης μου κληρονομησει με
4 And immediately the word of the Lord came to him, saying: “This one will not be your heir. But he who will come from your loins, the same will you have for your heir.”	4 και ευθυς φωνη κυριου εγενετο προς αυτον λεγων ου κληρονομησει σε ουτος αλλ' ος εξελευσεται εκ σου ουτος κληρονομησει σε
5 And he brought him outside, and he said to him, “Take in the heavens, and number the stars, if you can.” And he said to him, “So also will your offspring be.”	5 εξηγαγεν δε αυτον εξω και ειπεν αυτω αναβλεψον δη εις τον ουρανον και αριθμησον τους αστερας ει δυνηση εξαριθμησαι αυτους και ειπεν ουτως εσται το σπερμα σου
6 Abram believed God, and it was reputed to him unto justice.	6 και επιστευσεν αβραμ τω θεω και ελογισθη αυτω εις δικαιοσυνην
7 And he said to him, “I am the Lord who led you away from Ur of the Chaldeans, so as to give you this land, and so that you would possess it.”	7 ειπεν δε προς αυτον εγω ο θεος ο εξαγαγων σε εκ χωρας χαλδαιων ωστε δουναι σοι την γην ταυτην κληρονομησαι
8 But he said, “Lord God, in what way may I be able to know that I will possess it?”	8 ειπεν δε δεσποτα κυριε κατα τι γνωσομαι οτι κληρονομησω αυτην
9 And the Lord responded by saying: “Take for me a cow of three years, and a she-goat of three years, and a ram of three years, also a turtle-dove and a pigeon.”	9 ειπεν δε αυτω λαβε μοι δαμαλιν τριετιζουσαν και αιγα τριετιζουσαν και κριον τριετιζοντα και τρυγονα και περιστεραν
10 Taking all these, he divided them through the middle, and placed both parts opposite one another. But the birds he did not divide.	10 ελαβεν δε αυτω παντα ταυτα και διειλεν αυτα μεσα και εθηκεν αυτα αντιπροσωπα αλληλοις τα δε ορνεα ου διειλεν
11 And birds descended upon the carcasses, but Abram drove them away.	11 κατεβη δε ορνεα επι τα σωματα τα διχοτομηματα αυτων και συνεκαθισεν αυτοις αβραμ
12 And when the sun was setting, a deep sleep fell upon Abram, and a dread, great and dark, invaded him.	12 περι δε ηλιου δυσμας εκστασις επεπεσεν τω αβραμ και ιδου φοβος σκοτεινος μεγας επιπιπτει αυτω
13 And it was said to him: “Know beforehand that your future offspring will be sojourners in a land not their own, and they will subjugate them in servitude and afflict them for four hundred years.	13 και ερρεθη προς αβραμ γινωσκων γνωση οτι παροικον εσται το σπερμα σου εν γη ουκ ιδια και δουλωσουσιν αυτους και κακωσουσιν αυτους και ταπεινωσουσιν αυτους τετρακοσια ετη
14 Yet truly, I will judge the nation that they will serve, and after this they will depart with great substance.	14 το δε εθνος ω εαν δουλευσωσιν κρινω εγω μετα δε ταυτα εξελευσονται ωδε μετα αποσκευης πολλης
15 But you will go to your fathers in peace and be buried at a good old age.	15 συ δε απελευση προς τους πατερας σου μετ' ειρηνης ταφεις εν γηρει καλω
16 But in the fourth generation, they will return here. For the iniquities of the Amorites are not yet completed, even to this present time.”	16 τεταρτη δε γενεα αποστραφησονται ωδε ουπω γαρ αναπεπληρωνται αι αμαρτιαι των αμορραιων εως του νυν
17 Then, when the sun had set, there came a dark mist, and there appeared a smoking furnace and a lamp of fire passing between those divisions.	17 επει δε εγινετο ο ηλιος προς δυσμαις φλοξ εγενετο και ιδου κλιβανος καπνιζομενος και λαμπαδες πυρος αι διηλθον ανα μεσον των διχοτομηματων τουτων
18 On that day, God formed a covenant with Abram, saying: “To your offspring I will give this land, from the river of Egypt, even to the great river Euphrates:	18 εν τη ημερα εκεινη διεθετο κυριος τω αβραμ διαθηκην λεγων τω σπερματι σου δωσω την γην ταυτην απο του ποταμου αιγυπτου εως του ποταμου του μεγαλου ποταμου ευφρατου
19 the land of the Kenites and the Kenizzites, the Kadmonites	19 τους καιναιους και τους κενεζαιους και τους κεδμωναιους
20 and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, likewise the Rephaim,	20 και τους χετταιους και τους φερεζαιους και τους ραφαιν
21 and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.”	21 και τους αμορραιους και τους χαναναιους και τους ευαιους και τους γεργεσαιους και τους ιεβουσαιους
