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 | 1 Now when these things were done, the word of the Lord came to Abram by a vision, saying: Fear not, Abram, I am thy protector, and thy reward exceeding great. |
2 λεγει δε αβραμ δεσποτα τι μοι δωσεις εγω δε απολυομαι ατεκνος ο δε υιος μασεκ της οικογενους μου ουτος δαμασκος ελιεζερ | 2 And Abram said: Lord God, what wilt thou give me? I shall go without children: and the son of the steward of my house is this Damascus Eliezer. |
3 και ειπεν αβραμ επειδη εμοι ουκ εδωκας σπερμα ο δε οικογενης μου κληρονομησει με | 3 And Abram added: But to me thou hast not given seed: and lo my servant, born in my house, shall be my heir. |
4 και ευθυς φωνη κυριου εγενετο προς αυτον λεγων ου κληρονομησει σε ουτος αλλ' ος εξελευσεται εκ σου ουτος κληρονομησει σε | 4 And immediately the word of the Lord came to him, saying: He shall not be thy heir: but he that shall come out of thy bowels, him shalt thou have for thy heir. |
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 | 5 And he thought him forth abroad, and said to him: Look up to heaven and number the stars, if thou canst. And he said to him: So shall thy seed be. |
6 και επιστευσεν αβραμ τω θεω και ελογισθη αυτω εις δικαιοσυνην | 6 Abram believed God, and it was reputed to him unto justice. |
7 ειπεν δε προς αυτον εγω ο θεος ο εξαγαγων σε εκ χωρας χαλδαιων ωστε δουναι σοι την γην ταυτην κληρονομησαι | 7 And he said to him: I am the Lord who brought thee out from Ur of the Chaldees, to gibe thee this land, and that thou mightest possess it. |
8 ειπεν δε δεσποτα κυριε κατα τι γνωσομαι οτι κληρονομησω αυτην | 8 But he said: Lord God, whereby may I know that I shall possess it? |
9 ειπεν δε αυτω λαβε μοι δαμαλιν τριετιζουσαν και αιγα τριετιζουσαν και κριον τριετιζοντα και τρυγονα και περιστεραν | 9 And the Lord answered, and said: Take me a cow of three years old, and a she goat of three years, and a ram of three years, a turtle also, and a pigeon. |
10 ελαβεν δε αυτω παντα ταυτα και διειλεν αυτα μεσα και εθηκεν αυτα αντιπροσωπα αλληλοις τα δε ορνεα ου διειλεν | 10 And he took all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid the two pieces of each one against the other; but the birds he divided not. |
11 κατεβη δε ορνεα επι τα σωματα τα διχοτομηματα αυτων και συνεκαθισεν αυτοις αβραμ | 11 And the fowls came down upon carcasses, and Abram drove them away. |
12 περι δε ηλιου δυσμας εκστασις επεπεσεν τω αβραμ και ιδου φοβος σκοτεινος μεγας επιπιπτει αυτω | 12 And when the sun was setting, a deep sleep fell upon Abram, and a great and darksome horror seized upon him. |
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 | 13 And it was said unto him: Know thou beforehand that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land not their own, and they shall bring them under bondage, and afflict them four hundred years. |
14 το δε εθνος ω εαν δουλευσωσιν κρινω εγω μετα δε ταυτα εξελευσονται ωδε μετα αποσκευης πολλης | 14 But I will judge the nation which they shall serve, and after this they shall come out with great substance. |
15 συ δε απελευση προς τους πατερας σου μετ' ειρηνης ταφεις εν γηρει καλω | 15 And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace, and be buried in a good old age. |
16 τεταρτη δε γενεα αποστραφησονται ωδε ουπω γαρ αναπεπληρωνται αι αμαρτιαι των αμορραιων εως του νυν | 16 But in the fourth generation they shall return hither: for as yet the iniquities of the Amorrhites are not at the full until this present time. |
17 επει δε εγινετο ο ηλιος προς δυσμαις φλοξ εγενετο και ιδου κλιβανος καπνιζομενος και λαμπαδες πυρος αι διηλθον ανα μεσον των διχοτομηματων τουτων | 17 And when the sun was set, there arose a dark mist, and there appeared a smoking furnace and a lamp of fire passing between those divisions. |
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 | 18 That day God made a covenant with Abram, saying: To thy seed will I give this land, from the river of Egypt even to the great river Euphrates. |
19 τους καιναιους και τους κενεζαιους και τους κεδμωναιους | 19 The Cineans and Cenezites, the Cedmonites, |
20 και τους χετταιους και τους φερεζαιους και τους ραφαιν | 20 And the Hethites, and the Pherezites, the Raphaim also, |
21 και τους αμορραιους και τους χαναναιους και τους ευαιους και τους γεργεσαιους και τους ιεβουσαιους | 21 And the Amorrhites, and the Chanaanits, and the Gergesites, and the Jebusites. |
