ΓΕΝΕΣΙΣ - Genesi - Genesis 24

GREEK BIBLE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Ητο δε ο Αβρααμ γερων προβεβηκως την ηλικιαν? και ο Κυριος ευλογησε τον Αβρααμ κατα παντα.	1 Now Abraham was old; and advanced in age: and the Lord had blessed him in all things.
2 Και ειπεν ο Αβρααμ προς τον δουλον αυτου τον πρεσβυτερον της οικιας αυτου, τον επιστατην παντων των υπαρχοντων αυτου, Βαλε, παρακαλω, την χειρα σου υπο τον μηρον μου?	2 And he said to the elder servant of his house, who was ruler over all he had: Put thy hand under my thigh,
3 και θελω σε ορκισει εις Κυριον τον Θεον του ουρανου και τον Θεον της γης, οτι δεν θελεις λαβει γυναικα εις τον υιον μου εκ των θυγατερων των Χαναναιων, μεταξυ των οποιων εγω κατοικω?	3 That I may make thee swear by the Lord the God of heaven and earth, that thou take not a wife for my son, of the daughters of the Chanaanites, among whom I dwell:
4 αλλ' εις τον τοπον μου, και εις την συγγενειαν μου θελεις υπαγει, και θελεις λαβει γυναικα εις τον υιον μου τον Ισαακ.	4 But that thou go to my own country and kindred, and take a wife from thence for my son Isaac.
5 Ειπε δε προς αυτον ο δουλος, Ισως δεν θεληση η γυνη να μοι ακολουθηση εις την γην ταυτην? πρεπει να φερω τον υιον σου εις την γην εκ της οποιας εξηλθες;	5 The servant answered: If the woman will not come with me into this land, must I bring thy son back again to the place, from whence thou camest out?
6 Και ειπε προς αυτον ο Αβρααμ, Προσεχε, μη φερης τον υιον μου εκει?	6 And Abraham said: Beware thou never bring my son back again thither.
7 Κυριος ο Θεος του ουρανου, οστις με ελαβεν εκ του οικου του πατρος μου και εκ της γης της γεννησεως μου, και οστις ελαλησε προς εμε και οστις ωμοσεν εις εμε λεγων, εις το σπερμα σου θελω δωσει την γην ταυτην, αυτος θελει αποστειλει τον αγγελον αυτου εμπροσθεν σου? και θελεις λαβει γυναικα εις τον υιον μου εκειθεν?	7 The Lord God of heaven, who took me out of my father's house, and out of my native country, who spoke to me, and swore to me, saying: To thy seed will I give this land: he will send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take from thence a wife for my son.
8 εαν δε η γυνη δεν θελη να σε ακολουθηση, τοτε θελεις εισθαι ελευθερος απο του ορκου μου τουτου? μονον τον υιον μου να μη φερης εκει.	8 But if the woman will not follow thee, thou shalt not be bound by the oath; only bring not my son back thither again.
9 Και εβαλεν ο δουλος την χειρα αυτου υπο τον μηρον του Αβρααμ του κυριου αυτου, και ωρκισθη εις αυτον περι του πραγματος τουτου.	9 The servant therefore put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his lord, and swore to him upon this word.
10 Και ελαβεν ο δουλος δεκα καμηλους εκ των καμηλων του κυριου αυτου και ανεχωρησε, φερων μεθ' εαυτου απο παντων των αγαθων του κυριου αυτου? και σηκωθεις, υπηγεν εις την Μεσοποταμιαν, εις την πολιν του Ναχωρ.	10 And he took ten camels of his master's herd, and departed, carrying something of all his goods with him, and he set forth and went on to Mesopotamia to the city of Nachor.
11 Και εγονατισε τας καμηλους εξω της πολεως παρα το φρεαρ του υδατος, προς το εσπερας, οτε εξερχονται αι γυναικες δια να αντλησωσιν υδωρ.	11 And when he had made the camels lie down without the town near a well of water in Evening, at the time when women were wont to come out to draw water, he said:
12 Και ειπε, Κυριε Θεε του κυριου μου Αβρααμ, δος μοι, δεομαι, καλον συναντημα σημερον, και καμε ελεος εις τον κυριον μου Αβρααμ?	12 O Lord the God of my master Abraham, meet me today, I beseech thee, and show kindness to my master Abraham.
13 ιδου, εγω ισταμαι πλησιον της πηγης του υδατος? αι δε θυγατερες των κατοικων της πολεως εξερχονται δια να αντλησωσιν υδωρ?	13 Behold I stand nigh the spring of water, and the daughters of the inhabitants of this city will come out to draw water.
14 και η κορη προς την οποιαν ειπω, Επικλινον, παρακαλω, την υδριαν σου δια να πιω, και αυτη ειπη, Πιε και θελω ποτισει και τας καμηλους σου, αυτη ας ηναι εκεινη, την οποιαν ητοιμασας εις τον δουλον σου τον Ισαακ? και εκ τουτου θελω γνωρισει οτι εκαμες ελεος εις τον κυριον μου.	14 Now, therefore, the maid to whom I shall say: Let down thy pitcher that I may drink: and she shall answer, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: let it be the same whom thou hast provided for thy servant Isaac: and by this I shall understand, that thou hast shown kindness to my master.
15 Και πριν αυτος παυση λαλων, ιδου, εξηρχετο η Ρεβεκκα, ητις εγεννηθη εις τον Βαθουηλ, υιον της Μελχας, γυναικος του Ναχωρ, αδελφου του Αβρααμ, εχουσα την υδριαν αυτης επι του ωμου αυτης.	15 he had not yet ended these words within himself, and behold Rebecca came out, the daughter of Bathuel, son of Melcha, wife to Nachor the brother of Abraham, having a pitcher on her shoulder:
16 Η δε κορη ητο ωραια την οψιν σφοδρα, παρθενος, και ανηρ δεν ειχε γνωρισει αυτην? αφου λοιπον κατεβη εις την πηγην, εγεμισε την υδριαν αυτης και ανεβαινε.	16 An exceedingly comely maid, and a most beautiful virgin, and not known to man: and she went down to the spring, and filled her pitcher and was coming back.
17 Δραμων δε ο δουλος εις συναντησιν αυτης ειπε, Ποτισον με, παρακαλω, ολιγον υδωρ εκ της υδριας σου.	17 And the servant ran to meet her, and said: Give me a little water to drink of thy pitcher.
18 Η δε ειπε, Πιε, κυριε μου? και εσπευσε και κατεβιβασε την υδριαν αυτης επι τον βραχιονα αυτης, και εποτισεν αυτον.	18 And she answered: Drink, my lord. And quickly she let down the pitcher upon her arm, and gave him drink.
19 και αφου επαυσε ποτιζουσα αυτον ειπε, Και δια τας καμηλους σου θελω αντλησει, εωσου πιωσι πασαι.	19 And when he had drunk, she said: I will draw water for thy camels also, till they all drink.
20 Και παρευθυς εξεκενωσε την υδριαν αυτης εις την ποτιστραν, και εδραμεν ετι εις το φρεαρ δια να αντληση, και ηντλησε δια πασας τας καμηλους αυτου.	20 And pouring out the pitcher into the troughs, she ran back to the well to draw water: and having drawn she gave to all the camels.
21 Ο δε ανθρωπος, θαυμαζων δι' αυτην, εσιωπα, δια να γνωριση αν κατευωδωσεν ο Κυριος την οδον αυτου η ουχι.	21 But he musing beheld her with silence, desirous to know whether the Lord had made his journey prosperous or not.
22 Και αφου επαυσαν αι καμηλοι πινουσαι, ελαβεν ο ανθρωπος ενωτια χρυσα βαρους ημισεος σικλου, και δυο βραχιολια δια τας χειρας αυτης, βαρους δεκα σικλων χρυσιου?	22 And after that the camels had drunk, the man took out golden earrings, weighing two sicles: and as many bracelets of ten sicles weight.
23 και ειπε, Τινος θυγατηρ εισαι συ; ειπε μοι, παρακαλω? ειναι εν τη οικια του πατρος σου τοπος δι' ημας προς καταλυμα;	23 And he said to her: Whose daughter art thou? tell me: is there any place in thy father's house to lodge?
24 Η δε ειπε προς αυτον? ειμαι θυγατηρ Βαθουηλ του υιου της Μελχας, τον οποιον εγεννησεν εις τον Ναχωρ.	24 And she answered: I am the daughter of Bathuel, the son of Melcha, whom she bore to Nachor.
25 ειπεν ετι προς αυτον, Ειναι εις ημας και αχυρα και τροφη πολλη και τοπος προς καταλυμα.	25 And she said moreover to him: We have good store of both straw and hay, and a large place to lodge in.
26 Τοτε εκλινεν ο ανθρωπος και προσεκυνησε τον Κυριον?	26 The man bowed himself down, and adored the Lord,
27 και ειπεν, Ευλογητος Κυριος ο Θεος του κυριου μου Αβρααμ, οστις δεν εγκατελιπε το ελεος αυτου και την αληθειαν αυτου απο του κυριου μου? ο Κυριος με κατευωδωσεν εις τον οικον των αδελφων του κυριου μου.	27 Saying: Blessed be the Lord God of my master Abraham, who hath not taken away his mercy and truth from my master, and hath brought me the straight way into the house of my master's brother.
28 Δραμουσα δε η κορη ανηγγειλεν εις τον οικον της μητρος αυτης τα πραγματα ταυτα.	28 Then the maid ran, and told in her mother's house, all that she had heard.
29 Ειχε δε η Ρεβεκκα αδελφον ονομαζομενον Λαβαν? και εδραμεν ο Λαβαν προς τον ανθρωπον εξω εις την πηγην.	29 And Rebecca had a brother named Laban, who went out in haste to the man, to the well.
30 Και ως ειδε τα ενωτια και τα βραχιολια εις τας χειρας της αδελφης αυτου, και ως ηκουσε τους λογους Ρεβεκκας της αδελφης αυτου, λεγουσης, Ουτως ελαλησε προς εμε ο ανθρωπος, ηλθε προς τον ανθρωπον? και ιδου, ιστατο πλησιον των καμηλων επι της πηγης.	30 And when he had seen the earrings and bracelets in his sister's hands, and had heard all that she related, saying: Thus and thus the man spoke to me: he came to the man who stood by the camels, and near to the spring of water,
31 Και ειπεν, Εισελθε, ευλογημενε του Κυριου? δια τι ιστασαι εξω; επειδη εγω ητοιμασα την οικιαν και τοπον δια τας καμηλους.	31 And said to him: Come in, thou blessed of the Lord: why standest thou without? I have prepared the house, and a place for the camels.
32 Και εισηλθεν ο ανθρωπος εις την οικιαν, και εκεινος εξεφορτωσε τας καμηλους και εδωκεν αχυρα και τροφην εις τας καμηλους και υδωρ δια νιψιμον των ποδων αυτου και των ποδων των ανθρωπων των μετ' αυτου.	32 And he brought him in into his lodging: and he unharnessed the camels and gave straw and hay, and water to wash his feet, and the feet of the men that were come with him.
33 Και παρετεθη εμπροσθεν αυτου φαγητον? αυτος ομως ειπε, Δεν θελω φαγει, εωσου λαλησω τον λογον μου. Ο δε ειπε, Λαλησον.	33 And bread was set before him. But he said: I will not eat, till I tell my message. He answered him: Speak.
34 Και ειπεν, Εγω ειμαι δουλος του Αβρααμ.	34 And he said: I am the servant of Abraham:
35 Και ο Κυριος ευλογησε τον κυριον μου σφοδρα, και εγεινε μεγας? και εδωκεν εις αυτον προβατα και βοας και αργυριον και χρυσιον και δουλους και δουλας και καμηλους και ονους.	35 And the Lord hath blessed my master wonderfully, and he is become great: and he hath given him sheep and oxen, silver and gold, menservants and womenservants, camels and asses.
36 Και εγεννησε Σαρρα, η γυνη του κυριου μου, υιον εις τον κυριον μου, αφου εγηρασε? και εδωκεν εις αυτον παντα οσα εχει.	36 And Sara my master's wife hath borne my master a son in her old age, and he hath given him all that he had.
37 Και με ωρκισεν ο κυριος μου, λεγων, Δεν θελεις λαβει γυναικα εις τον υιον μου εκ των θυγατερων των Χαναναιων, εις την γην των οποιων εγω κατοικω?	37 And my master made me swear, saying: Thou shalt not take a wife for my son of the Chanaanites, in whose land I dwell:
38 αλλ' εις τον οικον του πατρος μου θελεις υπαγει και εις την συγγενειαν μου, και θελεις λαβει γυναικα εις τον υιον μου.	38 But thou shalt go to my father's house, and shalt take a wife of my own kindred for my son:
39 Και ειπον προς τον κυριον μου, Ισως δεν θεληση η γυνη να με ακολουθηση.	39 But I answered my master: What if the woman will not come with me?
40 Ο δε ειπε προς εμε, Ο Κυριος, εμπροσθεν του οποιου περιεπατησα, θελει αποστειλει τον αγγελον αυτου μετα σου και θελει κατευοδωσει την οδον σου? και θελεις λαβει γυναικα εις τον υιον μου εκ της συγγενειας μου και εκ του οικου του πατρος μου?	40 The Lord, said he, in whose sight I walk, will send his angel with thee, and will direct thy way: and thou shalt take a wife for my son of my own kindred, and of my father's house.
41 τοτε θελεις εισθαι ελευθερος απο του ορκισμου μου? οταν υπαγης προς την συγγενειαν μου και δεν δωσωσιν εις σε, τοτε θελεις εισθαι ελευθερος απο του ορκισμου μου.	41 But thou shalt be clear from my curse, when thou shalt come to my kindred, if they will not give thee one.
42 Και ελθων σημερον εις την πηγην, ειπον, Κυριε ο Θεος του κυριου μου Αβρααμ, κατευοδωσον, δεομαι, την οδον μου, εις την οποιαν εγω υπαγω?	42 And I came today to the well of water, and said: O Lord God of my master Abraham, if thou hast prospered my way, wherein I now walk,
43 ιδου, εγω ισταμαι πλησιον της πηγης του υδατος? και η κορη ητις εξερχεται δια να αντληση και προς την οποιαν ειπω, Ποτισον με, παρακαλω, ολιγον υδωρ εκ της υδριας σου,	43 Behold I stand by the well of water, and the virgin, that shall come out to draw water, who shall hear me say: Give me a little water to drink of thy pitcher:
44 και αυτη με ειπη, Και συ πιε, και δια τας καμηλους σου ακομη θελω αντλησει, αυτη ας ηναι η γυνη, την οποιαν ητοιμασεν ο Κυριος δια τον υιον του κυριου μου.	44 And shall say to me: Both drink thou, and I will also draw for thy camels: let the same be the woman, whom the Lord hath prepared for my master's son.
45 Και πριν παυσω λαλων εν τη καρδια μου, ιδου, η Ρεβεκκα εξηρχετο εχουσα την υδριαν αυτης επι του ωμου αυτης? και κατεβη εις την πηγην και ηντλησεν? ειπον δε προς αυτην, Ποτισον με, παρακαλω.	45 And whilst I pondered these things secretly with myself, Rebecca appeared coming with a pitcher, which she carried on her shoulder: and she went down to the well and drew water. And I said to her: Give me a little to drink.
46 Η δε εσπευσε και κατεβιβασε την υδριαν αυτης επανωθεν αυτης και ειπε, Πιε, και θελω ποτισει και τας καμηλους σου? επιον λοιπον και εποτισε και τας καμηλους.	46 And she speedily let down the pitcher from her shoulder, and said to me: Both drink thou, and to thy camels I will give drink. I drank, and she watered the camels.
47 Και ηρωτησα αυτην και ειπον, Τινος θυγατηρ εισαι; η δε ειπε, Θυγατηρ του Βαθουηλ, υιου του Ναχωρ, τον οποιον εγεννησεν εις αυτον η Μελχα? και περιεθεσα τα ενωτια εις το προσωπον αυτης και τα βραχιολια επι τας χειρας αυτης.	47 And I asked her, and said: Whose daughter art thou? And she answered: I am the daughter of Bathuel, the son of Nachor, whom Melcha bore to him. So I put earrings on her to adorn her face, and I put bracelets on her hands.
48 Και κλινας προσεκυνησα τον Κυριον? και ευλογησα Κυριον τον Θεον του κυριον μου Αβρααμ, οστις με κατευωδωσεν εις την αληθινην οδον, δια να λαβω την θυγατερα του αδελφου του κυριου μου εις τον υιον αυτου.	48 And falling down I adored the Lord, blessing the Lord God of my master Abraham, who hath brought me the straight way to take the daughter of my master's brother for his son.
49 Τωρα λοιπον, εαν θελητε να καμητε ελεος και αληθειαν προς τον κυριον μου, ειπατε μοι, ει δε μη, ειπατε μοι, δια να στραφω δεξια η αριστερα.	49 Wherefore if you do according to mercy and truth with my master, tell me: but if it please you otherwise, tell me that also, that I may go to the right hand, or to the left.
50 Και αποκριθεντες ο Λαβαν και ο Βαθουηλ, ειπον, Παρα Κυριου εξηλθε το πραγμα? ημεις δεν δυναμεθα να σοι ειπωμεν κακον η καλον?	50 And Laban and Bathuel answered: The word hath proceeded from the Lord, we cannot speak any other thing to thee but his pleasure.
51 ιδου, η Ρεβεκκα εμπροσθεν σου? λαβε αυτην και υπαγε? και ας ηναι γυνη του υιου του κυριου σου, καθως ελαλησεν ο Κυριος.	51 Behold Rebecca is before thee, take her and go thy way, and let her be the wife of thy master's son, as the Lord hath spoken.
52 Και οτε ηκουσεν ο δουλος του Αβρααμ τους λογους αυτων, προσεκυνησεν εως εδαφους τον Κυριον.	52 WHich when Abraham's servant heard, falling down to the ground he adored the Lord.
53 Και εκβαλων ο δουλος σκευη αργυρα και σκευη χρυσα και ενδυματα, εδωκεν εις την Ρεβεκκαν? εδωκεν ετι δωρα εις τον αδελφον αυτης και εις την μητερα αυτης.	53 And bringing forth vessels of silver and gold, and garments, he gave them to Rebecca for a present. He offered gifts also to her brothers, and to her mother.
54 Και εφαγον και επιον, αυτος και οι ανθρωποι οι μετ' αυτου, και διενυκτερευσαν? και αφου εσηκωθησαν το πρωι, ειπεν, Εξαποστειλατε με προς τον κυριον μου.	54 And a banquet was made, and they ate and drank together, and lodged there. And in the morning, the servant arose, and said: Let me depart, that I may go to my master.
55 Ειπον δε ο αδελφος αυτης και η μητηρ αυτης, Ας μεινη η κορη μεθ' ημων ημερας τινας, τουλαχιστον δεκα? μετα ταυτα θελει απελθει.	55 And her brother and mother answered: Let the maid stay at least ten days with us, and afterwards she shall depart.
56 Και ειπε προς αυτους, Μη με κρατειτε, διοτι ο Κυριος κατευωδωσε την οδον μου? εξαποστειλατε με να υπαγω προς τον κυριον μου.	56 Stay me not, said he, because the Lord hath prospered my way: send me away, that I may go to my master.
57 Οι δε ειπον, Ας καλεσωμεν την κορην και ας ερωτησωμεν την γνωμην αυτης.	57 And they said: Let us call the maid, and ask her will.
58 Και εκαλεσαν την Ρεβεκκαν και ειπον προς αυτην, Υπαγεις μετα του ανθρωπου τουτου; Η δε ειπεν, Υπαγω.	58 And they called her, and when she was come, they asked: Wilt thou go with this man? She said: I will go.
59 Και εξαπεστειλαν την Ρεβεκκαν την αδελφην αυτων και την τροφον αυτης, και τον δουλον του Αβρααμ και τους ανθρωπους αυτου	59 So they sent her away, and her nurse, and Abraham's servant, and his company,
60 Και ευλογησαν την Ρεβεκκαν και ειπον προς αυτην, Αδελφη ημων εισαι, ειθε να γεινης εις χιλιαδας μυριαδων, και το σπερμα σου να εξουσιαση τας πυλας των εχθρων αυτου	60 Wishing prosperity to their sister, and saying: Thou art our sister, mayst thou increase to thousands of thousands, and may thy seed possess the gates of their enemies.
61 Και εσηκωθη η Ρεβεκκα και αι θεραπαιναι αυτης, και εκαθισαν επι τας καμηλους, και υπηγον κατοπιν του ανθρωπου? και ελαβεν ο δουλος την Ρεβεκκαν και ανεχωρησεν.	61 So Rebecca and her maids, being set upon camels, followed the man: who with speed returned to his master.
62 Ο δε Ισαακ επεστρεφεν απο του φρεατος Λαχαι-ροι? διοτι κατωκει εν τη γη της μεσημβριας.	62 At the same time Isaac was walking along the way to the well which is called Of the living and the seeing: for he dwelt in the south country.
63 Και εξηλθεν ο Ισαακ να προσευχηθη εν τη πεδιαδι περι το εσπερας? και υψωσας τους οφθαλμους αυτου, ειδε, και ιδου, ηρχοντο καμηλοι.	63 And he was gone forth to meditate in the field, the day being now well spent: and when he had lifted up his eyes, he saw camels coming afar off.
64 και υψωσασα η Ρεβεκκα τους οφθαλμους αυτης ειδε τον Ισαακ και κατεπηδησεν απο της καμηλου.	64 Rebecca also, when she saw Isaac, lighted off the camel,
65 Διοτι ειχεν ειπει προς τον δουλον, Τις ειναι ο ανθρωπος εκεινος, ο ερχομενος δια της πεδιαδος εις συναντησιν ημων; Ο δε δουλος ειχεν ειπει, Ειναι ο κυριος μου. Και αυτη λαβουσα την καλυπτραν, εσκεπασθη.	65 And said to the servant: Who is that man who cometh towards us along the field? And he said to her: That man is my master. But she quickly took her cloak, and covered herself.
66 Και διηγηθη ο δουλος προς τον Ισαακ παντα οσα ειχε πραξει.	66 And the servant told Isaac all that he had done.
67 Ο δε Ισαακ εφερεν αυτην εις την σκηνην της μητρος αυτου Σαρρας? και ελαβε την Ρεβεκκαν, και εγεινεν αυτου γυνη, και ηγαπησεν αυτην? και παρηγορηθη ο Ισαακ περι της μητρος αυτου.	67 Who brought her into the tent of Sara his mother, and took her to wife: and he loved her so much, that it moderated the sorrow which was occasioned by his mother's death.
