LXX	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
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 Some time after these events, this word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision: "Fear not, Abram! I am your shield; I will make your reward very great."
2 λεγει δε αβραμ δεσποτα τι μοι δωσεις εγω δε απολυομαι ατεκνος ο δε υιος μασεκ της οικογενους μου ουτος δαμασκος ελιεζερ	2 But Abram said, "O Lord GOD, what good will your gifts be, if I keep on being childless and have as my heir the steward of my house, Eliezer?"
3 και ειπεν αβραμ επειδη εμοι ουκ εδωκας σπερμα ο δε οικογενης μου κληρονομησει με	3 Abram continued, "See, you have given me no offspring, and so one of my servants will 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 Then the word of the LORD came to him: "No, that one shall not be your heir; your own issue shall be your 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 He took him outside and said: "Look up at the sky and count the stars, if you can. Just so," he added, "shall your descendants be."
6 και επιστευσεν αβραμ τω θεω και ελογισθη αυτω εις δικαιοσυνην	6 Abram put his faith in the LORD, who credited it to him as an act of righteousness.
7 ειπεν δε προς αυτον εγω ο θεος ο εξαγαγων σε εκ χωρας χαλδαιων ωστε δουναι σοι την γην ταυτην κληρονομησαι	7 He then said to him, "I am the LORD who brought you from Ur of the Chaldeans to give you this land as a possession."
8 ειπεν δε δεσποτα κυριε κατα τι γνωσομαι οτι κληρονομησω αυτην	8 "O Lord GOD," he asked, "How am I to 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 He answered him, "Bring me a three-year-old heifer, a three-year-old she-goat, a three-year-old ram, a turtle-dove, and a young pigeon."
10 ελαβεν δε αυτω παντα ταυτα και διειλεν αυτα μεσα και εθηκεν αυτα αντιπροσωπα αλληλοις τα δε ορνεα ου διειλεν	10 He brought him all these, split them in two, and placed each half opposite the other; but the birds he did not cut up.
11 κατεβη δε ορνεα επι τα σωματα τα διχοτομηματα αυτων και συνεκαθισεν αυτοις αβραμ	11 Birds of prey swooped down on the carcasses, but Abram stayed with them.
12 περι δε ηλιου δυσμας εκστασις επεπεσεν τω αβραμ και ιδου φοβος σκοτεινος μεγας επιπιπτει αυτω	12 As the sun was about to set, a trance fell upon Abram, and a deep, terrifying darkness enveloped 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 Then the LORD said to Abram: "Know for certain that your descendants shall be aliens in a land not their own, where they shall be enslaved and oppressed for four hundred years.
14 το δε εθνος ω εαν δουλευσωσιν κρινω εγω μετα δε ταυτα εξελευσονται ωδε μετα αποσκευης πολλης	14 But I will bring judgment on the nation they must serve, and in the end they will depart with great wealth.
15 συ δε απελευση προς τους πατερας σου μετ' ειρηνης ταφεις εν γηρει καλω	15 You, however, shall join your forefathers in peace; you shall be buried at a contented old age.
16 τεταρτη δε γενεα αποστραφησονται ωδε ουπω γαρ αναπεπληρωνται αι αμαρτιαι των αμορραιων εως του νυν	16 In the fourth time-span the others shall come back here; the wickedness of the Amorites will not have reached its full measure until then."
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 When the sun had set and it was dark, there appeared a smoking brazier and a flaming torch, which passed between those pieces.
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 It was on that occasion that the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying: "To your descendants I give this land, from the Wadi of Egypt to the Great River (the Euphrates),
19 τους καιναιους και τους κενεζαιους και τους κεδμωναιους	19 the land of the Kenites, the Kenizzites, the Kadmonites,
20 και τους χετταιους και τους φερεζαιους και τους ραφαιν	20 the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Rephaim,
21 και τους αμορραιους και τους χαναναιους και τους ευαιους και τους γεργεσαιους και τους ιεβουσαιους	21 the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites, and the Jebusites."
