ΓΕΝΕΣΙΣ - Genesi - Genesis 21

GREEK BIBLE	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Και επεσκεφθη ο Κυριος την Σαρραν, ως ειπε? και εκαμεν ο Κυριος εις την Σαρραν, ως ελαλησε.	1 The LORD took note of Sarah as he had said he would; he did for her as he had promised.
2 Και συνελαβεν η Σαρρα, και εγεννησεν εις τον Αβρααμ υιον εν τω γηρατι αυτου? κατα τον καιρον, τον οποιον ειπε προς αυτον ο Θεος.	2 Sarah became pregnant and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time that God had stated.
3 Και εκαλεσεν ο Αβρααμ το ονομα του υιου αυτου, του γεννηθεντος εις αυτον, τον οποιον η Σαρρα εγεννησεν εις αυτον, Ισαακ.	3 Abraham gave the name Isaac to this son of his whom Sarah bore him.
4 Περιετεμε δε ο Αβρααμ τον υιον αυτου Ισαακ την ογδοην ημεραν, ως προσεταξεν εις αυτον ο Θεος.	4 When his son Isaac was eight days old, Abraham circumcised him, as God had commanded.
5 Ητο δε ο Αβρααμ εκατον ετων, οτε εγεννηθη εις αυτον Ισαακ ο υιος αυτου.	5 Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him.
6 Και ειπεν η Σαρρα, Ο Θεος με εκαμε να γελω? οστις ακουση, θελει γελα μετ' εμου.	6 Sarah then said, "God has given me cause to laugh, and all who hear of it will laugh with me.
7 Και ειπε, Τις ηθελεν ειπει προς τον Αβρααμ, οτι ηθελε θηλασει τεκνα η Σαρρα; επειδη εγεννησα υιον εν τω γηρατι αυτου.	7 Who would have told Abraham," she added, "that Sarah would nurse children! Yet I have borne him a son in his old age."
8 Το δε παιδιον ηυξησε και απεγαλακτισθη? και εκαμεν ο Αβρααμ μεγα συμποσιον, καθ' ην ημεραν απεγαλακτισθη ο Ισαακ.	8 Isaac grew, and on the day of the child's weaning, Abraham held a great feast.
9 Και ειδεν η Σαρρα τον υιον της Αγαρ της Αιγυπτιας, τον οποιον εγεννησεν εις τον Αβρααμ, περιγελωντα τον Ισαακ.	9 Sarah noticed the son whom Hagar the Egyptian had borne to Abraham playing with her son Isaac;
10 Και ειπε προς τον Αβρααμ, Διωξον την δουλην ταυτην και τον υιον αυτης? διοτι δεν θελει κληρονομησει ο υιος της δουλης ταυτης μετα του υιου μου, του Ισαακ.	10 so she demanded of Abraham: "Drive out that slave and her son! No son of that slave is going to share the inheritance with my son Isaac!"
11 Εφανη δε σκληρον σφοδρα το πραγμα εις τους οφθαλμους του Αβρααμ περι του υιου αυτου.	11 Abraham was greatly distressed, especially on account of his son Ishmael.
12 Και ειπεν ο Θεος προς τον Αβρααμ, Ας μη φανη σκληρον εις τους οφθαλμους σου περι του παιδιου και περι της δουλης σου? κατα παντα οσα ειπη προς σε η Σαρρα, ακουε τους λογους αυτης? διοτι εν τω Ισαακ θελει κληθη εις σε σπερμα?	12 But God said to Abraham: "Do not be distressed about the boy or about your slave woman. Heed the demands of Sarah, no matter what she is asking of you; for it is through Isaac that descendants shall bear your name.
13 και τον υιον δε της δουλης εις εθνος θελω καταστησει αυτον? διοτι ειναι σπερμα σου.	13 As for the son of the slave woman, I will make a great nation of him also, since he too is your offspring."
14 Σηκωθεις δε ο Αβρααμ ενωρις το πρωι, ελαβεν αρτους και ασκον υδατος και εδωκεν εις την Αγαρ, επιθεσας αυτα επι τον ωμον αυτης, και το παιδιον, και απεπεμψεν αυτην. Η δε αναχωρησασα περιεπλανατο εν τη ερημω Βηρ-σαβεε.	14 Early the next morning Abraham got some bread and a skin of water and gave them to Hagar. Then, placing the child on her back, he sent her away. As she roamed aimlessly in the wilderness of Beer-sheba,
15 Και αφου ετελειωσε το υδωρ απο του ασκου, ερριψε το παιδιον υποκατω ενος θαμνου?	15 the water in the skin was used up. So she put the child down under a shrub,
16 και ελθουσα εκαθισεν απεναντι, μακραν εως τοξου βολης? διοτι ειπε, να μη ιδω τον θανατον του παιδιου. Και εκαθισεν απεναντι και υψωσε την φωνην αυτης και εκλαυσεν.	16 and then went and sat down opposite him, about a bowshot away; for she said to herself, "Let me not watch to see the child die." As she sat opposite him, he began to cry.
17 Εισηκουσε δε ο Θεος την φωνην του παιδιου? και εφωνησεν αγγελος Θεου προς την Αγαρ εκ του ουρανου, και ειπε προς αυτην, Τι εχεις, Αγαρ; μη φοβου? διοτι ηκουσεν ο Θεος την φωνην του παιδιου εκ του τοπου ενθα κειται?	17 God heard the boy's cry, and God's messenger called to Hagar from heaven: "What is the matter, Hagar? Don't be afraid; God has heard the boy's cry in this plight of his.
18 σηκωθητι, λαβε το παιδιον, και κρατει αυτο με την χειρα σου? διοτι θελω καταστησει αυτο εις εθνος μεγα.	18 Arise, lift up the boy and hold him by the hand; for I will make of him a great nation."
19 Και ηνοιξεν ο Θεος τους οφθαλμους αυτης, και ιδουσα φρεαρ υδατος υπηγε και εγεμισε τον ασκον υδωρ και εποτισε το παιδιον.	19 Then God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. She went and filled the skin with water, and then let the boy drink.
20 Και ητο ο Θεος μετα του παιδιου, και ηυξησε, και κατωκησεν εν τη ερημω και εγεινε τοξοτης.	20 God was with the boy as he grew up. He lived in the wilderness and became an expert bowman,
21 Και κατωκησεν εν τη ερημω Φαραν? και η μητηρ αυτου ελαβεν εις αυτον γυναικα εκ γης Αιγυπτου.	21 with his home in the wilderness of Paran. His mother got a wife for him from the land of Egypt.
22 Κατ' εκεινον δε τον καιρον ο Αβιμελεχ, μετα του Φιχολ αρχιστρατηγου της δυναμεως αυτου, ειπε προς τον Αβρααμ, λεγων, Ο Θεος ειναι μετα σου εις παντα οσα πραττεις?	22 About that time Abimelech, accompanied by Phicol, the commander of his army, said to Abraham: "God is with you in everything you do.
23 τωρα λοιπον ομοσον προς εμε εδω εις τον Θεον, οτι δεν θελεις ψευσθη προς εμε, ουτε προς τον υιον μου, ουτε προς τους εγγονους μου? αλλα κατα το ελεος, το οποιον εκαμα εις σε, θελεις καμει εις εμε, και εις την γην οπου παρωκησας.	23 Therefore, swear to me by God at this place that you will not deal falsely with me or with my progeny and posterity, but will act as loyally toward me and the land in which you stay as I have acted toward you."
24 Και ειπεν ο Αβρααμ, Εγω θελω ομοσει.	24 To this Abraham replied, "I so swear."
25 Και ελεγξεν ο Αβρααμ τον Αβιμελεχ δια το φρεαρ του υδατος, το οποιον αφηρπασαν οι δουλοι του Αβιμελεχ.	25 Abraham, however, reproached Abimelech about a well that Abimelech's men had seized by force.
26 Και ειπεν ο Αβιμελεχ, Δεν εξευρω τις επραξε το πραγμα τουτο? και ουτε συ με εφανερωσας και ουτε εγω ηκουσα, ειμη σημερον.	26 "I have no idea who did that," Abimelech replied. "In fact, you never told me about it, nor did I ever hear of it until now."
27 Και λαβων ο Αβρααμ προβατα και βοας, εδωκεν εις τον Αβιμελεχ? και εκαμον αμφοτεροι συνθηκην.	27 Then Abraham took sheep and cattle and gave them to Abimelech and the two made a pact.
28 Και εβαλεν ο Αβρααμ κατα μερος επτα θηλυκα αρνια του ποιμνιου.	28 Abraham also set apart seven ewe lambs of the flock,
29 Και ειπεν ο Αβιμελεχ προς τον Αβρααμ, Τι ειναι ταυτα τα επτα θηλυκα αρνια, τα οποια εβαλες κατα μερος;	29 and Abimelech asked him, "What is the purpose of these seven ewe lambs that you have set apart?"
30 Ο δε ειπεν, Οτι ταυτα τα επτα θηλυκα αρνια θελεις λαβει εκ της χειρος μου, δια να ηναι εις εμε εις μαρτυριον οτι εγω εσκαψα το φρεαρ τουτο.	30 Abraham answered, "The seven ewe lambs you shall accept from me that thus I may have your acknowledgment that the well was dug by me."
31 δια τουτο ωνομασε τον τοπον εκεινον, Βηρ-σαβεε? διοτι εκει ωμοσαν αμφοτεροι.	31 This is why the place is called Beer-sheba; the two took an oath there.
32 Και εκαμον συνθηκην εν Βηρ-σαβεε. Εσηκωθη δε ο Αβιμελεχ και Φιχολ ο αρχιστρατηγος της δυναμεως αυτου, και επεστρεψαν εις την γην των Φιλισταιων.	32 When they had thus made the pact in Beer-sheba, Abimelech, along with Phicol, the commander of his army, left and returned to the land of the Philistines.
33 Και εφυτευσεν ο Αβρααμ δρυμον εν Βηρ-σαβεε? και επεκαλεσθη εκει το ονομα του Κυριου, του αιωνιου Θεου.	33 Abraham planted a tamarisk at Beer-sheba, and there he invoked by name the LORD, God the Eternal.
34 Παρωκησε δε ο Αβρααμ εν τη γη των Φιλισταιων ημερας πολλας.	34 Abraham resided in the land of the Philistines for many years.
