GREEK BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Μετα δε τα πραγματα ταυτα ο Θεος εδοκιμασε τον Αβρααμ, και ειπε προς αυτον, Αβρααμ? ο δε ειπεν, Ιδου, εγω.	1 After these things occurred, God tested Abraham, and he said to him, “Abraham, Abraham.” And he answered, “Here I am.”
2 Και ειπε, Λαβε τωρα τον υιον σου τον μονογενη, τον οποιον ηγαπησας, τον Ισαακ, και υπαγε εις τον τοπον Μορια, και προσφερε αυτον εκει εις ολοκαυτωμα, επι ενος των ορεων, το οποιον θελω σοι ειπει.	2 He said to him: “Take your only begotten son Isaac, whom you love, and go into the land of vision. And there you shall offer him as a holocaust upon one of the mountains, which I will show to you.”
3 Σηκωθεις δε Αβρααμ ενωρις το πρωι, εσαμαρωσε την ονον αυτου και ελαβε μεθ' εαυτου δυο εκ των δουλων αυτου και Ισαακ τον υιον αυτου? και σχισας ξυλα δια την ολοκαυτωσιν, εσηκωθη και υπηγεν εις τον τοπον τον οποιον ειπε προς αυτον ο Θεος.	3 And so Abraham, getting up in the night, harnessed his donkey, taking with him two youths, and his son Isaac. And when he had cut wood for the holocaust, he traveled toward the place, as God had instructed him.
4 Την δε τριτην ημεραν υψωσας ο Αβρααμ τους οφθαλμους αυτου, ειδε τον τοπον μακροθεν.	4 Then, on the third day, lifting up his eyes, he saw the place at a distance.
5 Και ειπεν ο Αβρααμ προς τους δουλους αυτου, Σεις καθισατε αυτου μετα της ονου? εγω δε και το παιδαριον θελομεν υπαγει εως εκει? και αφου προσκυνησωμεν, θελομεν επιστρεψει προς εσας.	5 And he said to his servants: “Wait here with the donkey. I and the boy will hurry further ahead to that place. After we have worshipped, will return to you.”
6 Και λαβων ο Αβρααμ τα ξυλα της ολοκαυτωσεως, επεθεσεν επι τον Ισαακ τον υιον αυτου? και ελαβεν εις την χειρα αυτου το πυρ, και την μαχαιραν, και υπηγον οι δυο ομου.	6 He also took the wood for the holocaust, and he imposed it upon his son Isaac. And he himself carried in his hands fire and a sword. And as the two continued on together,
7 Τοτε ελαλησεν ο Ισαακ προς Αβρααμ τον πατερα αυτου και ειπε, Πατερ μου. Ο δε ειπεν, Ιδου, εγω, τεκνον μου. Και ειπεν ο Ισαακ, Ιδου, το πυρ και τα ξυλα? αλλα που το προβατον δια την ολοκαυτωσιν;	7 Isaac said to his father, “My father.” And he answered, “What do you want, son?” “Behold,” he said, “fire and wood. Where is the victim for the holocaust?”
8 Και ειπεν ο Αβρααμ, Ο Θεος, τεκνον μου, θελει προβλεψει εις εαυτον το προβατον δια την ολοκαυτωσιν. Και επορευοντο οι δυο ομου.	8 But Abraham said, “God himself will provide the victim for the holocaust, my son.” Thus they continued on together.
9 Αφου δε εφθασαν εις τον τοπον τον οποιον ειπε προς αυτον ο Θεος, ωκοδομησεν εκει ο Αβρααμ το θυσιαστηριον και διεθεσε τα ξυλα, και δεσας τον Ισαακ τον υιον αυτου εβαλεν αυτον επι το θυσιαστηριον επανω των ξυλων?	9 And they came to the place that God had shown to him. There he built an altar, and he set the wood in order upon it. And when he had bound his son Isaac, he laid him on the altar upon the pile of wood.
10 και εκτεινας ο Αβρααμ την χειρα αυτου, ελαβε την μαχαιραν δια να σφαξη τον υιον αυτου.	10 And he reached out his hand and took hold of the sword, in order to sacrifice his son.
11 Αγγελος δε Κυριου εφωνησε προς αυτον εκ του ουρανου και ειπεν, Αβρααμ, Αβρααμ. Ο δε ειπεν, Ιδου, εγω.	11 And behold, an Angel of the Lord called out from heaven, saying, “Abraham, Abraham.” And he answered, “Here I am.”
12 Και ειπε, Μη επιβαλης την χειρα σου επι το παιδαριον, και μη πραξης εις αυτο μηδεν? διοτι τωρα εγνωρισα οτι συ φοβεισαι τον Θεον, επειδη δεν ελυπηθης τον υιον σου τον μονογενη δι' εμε.	12 And he said to him, “Do not extend your hand over the boy, and do not do anything to him. Now I know that you fear God, since you have not spared your only begotten son for my sake.”
13 Και υψωσας ο Αβρααμ τους οφθαλμους αυτου ειδε? και ιδου, κριος οπισθεν αυτου, κρατουμενος απο των κερατων αυτου εις φυτον πυκνοκλαδον? και ελθων ο Αβρααμ, ελαβε τον κριον και προσεφερεν αυτον εις ολοκαυτωμα αντι του υιου αυτου.	13 Abraham lifted up his eyes, and he saw behind his back a ram among the thorns, caught by the horns, which he took and offered as a holocaust, instead of his son.
14 Και εκαλεσεν ο Αβρααμ το ονομα του τοπου εκεινου Ιεοβα-ιρε? ως λεγεται και την σημερον, Εν τω ορει ο Κυριος θελει εμφανισθη.	14 And he called the name of that place: ‘The Lord Sees.’ Thus, even to this day, it is said: ‘On the mountain, the Lord will see.’
15 Και εφωνησε δευτερον ο αγγελος του Κυριου προς τον Αβρααμ εκ του ουρανου,	15 Then the Angel of the Lord called out to Abraham a second time from heaven, saying:
16 και ειπεν, Ωμοσα εις εμαυτον, λεγει Κυριος, οτι, επειδη επραξας το πραγμα τουτο και δεν ελυπηθης τον υιον σου, τον μονογενη σου,	16 “By my own self, I have sworn, says the Lord. Because you have done this thing, and have not spared your only begotten son for my sake,
17 οτι ευλογων θελω σε ευλογησει, και πληθυνων θελω πληθυνει το σπερμα σου ως τα αστρα του ουρανου και ως την αμμον την παρα το χειλος της θαλασσης? και το σπερμα σου θελει κυριευσει τας πυλας των εχθρων αυτου?	17 I will bless you, and I will multiply your offspring like the stars of heaven, and like the sand which is on the seashore. Your offspring will possess the gates of their enemies.
18 και εν τω σπερματι σου θελουσιν ευλογηθη παντα τα εθνη της γης? διοτι υπηκουσας εις την φωνην μου.	18 And in your offspring, all the nations of the earth will be blessed, because you obeyed my voice.”
19 Και επεστρεψεν ο Αβρααμ προς τους δουλους αυτου? και σηκωθεντες, υπηγον ομου εις Βηρ-σαβεε? και κατωκησεν ο Αβρααμ Ενβηρ-σαβεε.	19 Abraham returned to his servants, and they went to Beersheba together, and he lived there.
20 Μετα δε τα πραγματα ταυτα, ανηγγειλαν προς τον Αβρααμ λεγοντες, Ιδου, η Μελχα εγεννησε και αυτη υιους εις τον Ναχωρ τον αδελφον σου?	20 After these things occurred, it was reported to Abraham that Milcah, likewise, had borne sons for his brother Nahor:
21 τον Ουζ πρωτοτοκον αυτου, και τον Βουζ αδελφον αυτου, και τον Κεμουηλ τον πατερα του Αραμ,	21 Uz, the firstborn, and Buz, his brother, and Kemuel, the father of the Syrians,
22 και τον Κεσεδ, και τον Αζαυ, και τον Φαλδες, και τον Ιελδαφ, και τον Βαθουηλ.	22 and Chesed, and Hazo, likewise Pildash, and Jidlaph,
23 Ο δε Βαθουηλ εγεννησε την Ρεβεκκαν? τους οκτω τουτους εγεννησεν η Μελχα εις τον Ναχωρ τον αδελφον του Αβρααμ.	23 as well as Bethuel, of whom was born Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore for Nahor, the brother of Abraham.
24 Και η παλλακη αυτου, η ονομαζομενη Ρευμα, εγεννησε και αυτη τον Ταβεκ και τον Γααμ και τον Ταχας και τον Μααχα.	24 In truth, his concubine, named Reumah, bore Tebah, and Gaham, and Tahash, and Maacah.
