Genesis 12

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	GREEK BIBLE
1 Then the Lord said to Abram: “Depart from your land, and from your kindred, and from your father’s house, and come into the land that I will show you.	1 Ο δε Κυριος ειπε προς τον Αβραμ, Εξελθε εκ της γης σου, και εκ της συγγενειας σου, και εκ του οικου του πατρος σου, εις την γην την οποιαν θελω σοι δειξει?
2 And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and magnify your name, and you will be blessed.	2 και θελω σε καμει εις εθνος μεγα? και θελω σε ευλογησει, και θελω μεγαλυνει το ονομα σου? και θελεις εισθαι εις ευλογιαν?
3 I will bless those who bless you, and curse those who curse you, and in you all the families of the earth will be blessed.”	3 και θελω ευλογησει τους ευλογουντας σε, και τους καταρωμενους σε θελω καταρασθη? και θελουσιν ευλογηθη εν σοι πασαι αι φυλαι της γης.
4 And so Abram departed just as the Lord had instructed him, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran.	4 Και υπηγεν ο Αβραμ, καθως ειπε προς αυτον ο Κυριος? και μετ' αυτου υπηγε και ο Λωτ? ο δε Αβραμ ητο ηλικιας εβδομηκοντα πεντε ετων, οτε εξηλθεν απο Χαρραν.
5 And he took his wife Sarai, and Lot, the son of his brother, and all the substance which they had come to possess, and the lives which they had acquired in Haran, and they departed in order to go to the land of Canaan. And when they arrived in it,	5 Και ελαβεν ο Αβραμ Σαραν την γυναικα αυτου, και Λωτ τον υιον του αδελφου αυτου, και παντα τα υπαρχοντα αυτων οσα ειχον αποκτησει, και τους ανθρωπους τους οποιους ειχον αποκτησει εν Χαρραν, και εξηλθον δια να υπαγωσιν εις την γην Χανααν? και ηλθον εις την γην Χανααν.
6 Abram passed through the land even to the place of Shechem, as far as the famous steep valley. Now at that time, the Canaanite was in the land.	6 Και διεπερασεν ο Αβραμ την γην εκεινην εως του τοπου Συχεμ, εως της δρυος Μορεχ? οι δε Χαναναιοι τοτε κατωκουν εν τη γη ταυτη.
7 Then the Lord appeared to Abram, and he said to him, “To your offspring, I will give this land.” And there he built an altar to the Lord, who had appeared to him.	7 Και εφανη ο Κυριος εις τον Αβραμ και ειπεν, Εις το σπερμα σου θελω δωσει την γην ταυτην. Και ωκοδομησεν εκει θυσιαστηριον εις τον Κυριον, οστις εφανη εις αυτον.
8 And passing on from there to a mountain, which was opposite the east of Bethel, he pitched his tent there, having Bethel to the west, and Hai on the east. He also built an altar there to the Lord, and he called upon his name.	8 Και εκειθεν μετεβη προς το ορος, το κατα ανατολας της Βαιθηλ, και εστησε την σκηνην αυτου εχων την Βαιθηλ προς δυσμας και την Γαι προς ανατολας? και ωκοδομησεν εκει θυσιαστηριον εις τον Κυριον, και επεκαλεσθη το ονομα του Κυριου.
9 And Abram traveled, going out and continuing further on, toward the south.	9 Και μετεσκηνωσεν ο Αβραμ, οδοιπορων και προχωρων προς μεσημβριαν.
10 But a famine occurred in the land. And Abram descended to Egypt, to sojourn there. For famine prevailed over the land.	10 Εγεινε δε πεινα εν τη γη ταυτη? και κατεβη ο Αβραμ εις την Αιγυπτον δια να παροικηση εκει? διοτι η πεινα ητο βαρεια εν τη γη.
11 And when he was close to entering Egypt, he said to his wife Sarai: “I know you to be a beautiful woman.	11 Και οτε επλησιαζε να εισελθη εις την Αιγυπτον, ειπε προς Σαραν την γυναικα αυτου, Ιδου, γνωριζω οτι εισαι γυνη ευειδης?
12 And when the Egyptians see you, they will say, ‘She is his wife.’ And they will put me to death, and retain you.	12 θελει συμβη λοιπον, ωστε καθως σε ιδωσιν οι Αιγυπτιοι, θελουσιν ειπει, Γυνη αυτου ειναι αυτη? και θελουσι φονευσει εμε, σε δε θελουσι φυλαξει ζωσαν.
13 Therefore, I beg you to say that you are my sister, so that it may be well with me because of you, and so that my soul may live by your favor.”	13 Ειπε λοιπον, οτι εισαι αδελφη μου, δια να γεινη καλον εις εμε εξ αιτιας σου, και να φυλαχθη η ζωη μου δια σε.
14 And so, when Abram had arrived in Egypt, the Egyptians saw that the woman was exceedingly beautiful.	14 Και οτε εισηλθεν ο Αβραμ εις την Αιγυπτον, ειδον οι Αιγυπτιοι την γυναικα οτι ητο ωραια σφοδρα.
15 And the princes reported it to Pharaoh, and they praised her to him. And the woman was inducted into the house of Pharaoh.	15 Και οι αρχοντες του Φαραω ειδον αυτην, και επηνεσαν αυτην προς τον Φαραω? και εληφθη η γυνη εις την οικιαν του Φαραω.
16 In truth, they treated Abram well because of her. And he had sheep and oxen and male donkeys, and men servants, and women servants, and female donkeys, and camels.	16 Τον δε Αβραμ μετεχειρισθησαν καλως δι' αυτην? και ειχε προβατα και βοας και ονους και δουλους και δουλας και ονους θηλυκας και καμηλους.
17 But the Lord scourged Pharaoh and his house with great wounds because of Sarai, the wife of Abram.	17 Και επεφερεν ο Κυριος επι τον Φαραω και επι τον οικον αυτου πληγας μεγαλας εξ αιτιας Σαρας της γυναικος του Αβραμ.
18 And Pharaoh called Abram, and he said to him: “What is this that you have done to me? Why did you not tell me she was your wife?	18 Εκαλεσε δε ο Φαραω τον Αβραμ, και ειπε, Τι ειναι τουτο, το οποιον εκαμες εις εμε; δια τι δεν μ' εφανερωσας οτι αυτη ειναι γυνη σου;
19 For what reason did you claim her to be your sister, so that I would take her to me as a wife? Now therefore, behold your mate, receive her and go.”	19 δια τι ειπας, Αδελφη μου ειναι αυτη; και ελαβον αυτην εις εμαυτον δια γυναικα? και τωρα, ιδου η γυνη σου? λαβε αυτην, και υπαγε.
20 And Pharaoh instructed his men about Abram. And they led him away with his wife and all that he had.	20 Και διωρισεν ο Φαραω ανθρωπους εις αυτον? και συμπροεπεμψαν αυτον, και την γυναικα αυτου και παντα οσα ειχε.
