LXX	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 εγενετο δε λιμος επι της γης χωρις του λιμου του προτερον ος εγενετο εν τω χρονω τω αβρααμ επορευθη δε ισαακ προς αβιμελεχ βασιλεα φυλιστιιμ εις γεραρα	1 Then, when a famine arose over the land, after that barrenness which had happened in the days of Abraham, Isaac went to Abimelech, king of the Palestinians, in Gerar.
2 ωφθη δε αυτω κυριος και ειπεν μη καταβης εις αιγυπτον κατοικησον δε εν τη γη η αν σοι ειπω	2 And the Lord appeared to him, and he said: “Do not descend into Egypt, but rest in the land that I will tell you,
3 και παροικει εν τη γη ταυτη και εσομαι μετα σου και ευλογησω σε σοι γαρ και τω σπερματι σου δωσω πασαν την γην ταυτην και στησω τον ορκον μου ον ωμοσα αβρααμ τω πατρι σου	3 and sojourn in it, and I will be with you, and I will bless you. For to you and to your offspring I will give all these regions, completing the oath that I promised to Abraham your father.
4 και πληθυνω το σπερμα σου ως τους αστερας του ουρανου και δωσω τω σπερματι σου πασαν την γην ταυτην και ενευλογηθησονται εν τω σπερματι σου παντα τα εθνη της γης	4 And I will multiply your offspring like the stars of heaven. And I will give to your posterity all these regions. And in your offspring all the nations of the earth will be blessed,
5 ανθ' ων υπηκουσεν αβρααμ ο πατηρ σου της εμης φωνης και εφυλαξεν τα προσταγματα μου και τας εντολας μου και τα δικαιωματα μου και τα νομιμα μου	5 because Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my precepts and commandments, and observed the ceremonies and the laws.”
6 και κατωκησεν ισαακ εν γεραροις	6 And so Isaac remained in Gerar.
7 επηρωτησαν δε οι ανδρες του τοπου περι ρεβεκκας της γυναικος αυτου και ειπεν αδελφη μου εστιν εφοβηθη γαρ ειπειν οτι γυνη μου εστιν μηποτε αποκτεινωσιν αυτον οι ανδρες του τοπου περι ρεβεκκας οτι ωραια τη οψει ην	7 And when he was questioned by the men of that place about his wife, he answered, “She is my sister.” For he was afraid to confess her to be his mate, thinking that perhaps they would put him to death because of her beauty.
8 εγενετο δε πολυχρονιος εκει παρακυψας δε αβιμελεχ ο βασιλευς γεραρων δια της θυριδος ειδεν τον ισαακ παιζοντα μετα ρεβεκκας της γυναικος αυτου	8 And when very many days had passed, and he had remained in the same place, Abimelech, king of the Palestinians, gazing through a window, saw him being playful with Rebekah, his wife.
9 εκαλεσεν δε αβιμελεχ τον ισαακ και ειπεν αυτω αρα γε γυνη σου εστιν τι οτι ειπας αδελφη μου εστιν ειπεν δε αυτω ισαακ ειπα γαρ μηποτε αποθανω δι' αυτην	9 And summoning him, he said: “It is clear that she is your wife. Why did you falsely claim her to be your sister?” He answered, “I was afraid, lest I might die because of her.”
10 ειπεν δε αυτω αβιμελεχ τι τουτο εποιησας ημιν μικρου εκοιμηθη τις του γενους μου μετα της γυναικος σου και επηγαγες εφ' ημας αγνοιαν	10 And Abimelech said: “Why have you burdened us? Someone from the people could have lain with your wife, and you would have brought a great sin upon us.” And he instructed all the people, saying,
11 συνεταξεν δε αβιμελεχ παντι τω λαω αυτου λεγων πας ο απτομενος του ανθρωπου τουτου η της γυναικος αυτου θανατου ενοχος εσται	11 “Whoever will touch the wife of this man will die a death.”
12 εσπειρεν δε ισαακ εν τη γη εκεινη και ευρεν εν τω ενιαυτω εκεινω εκατοστευουσαν κριθην ευλογησεν δε αυτον κυριος	12 Then Isaac sowed in that land, and he found, in that same year, one hundredfold. And the Lord blessed him.
13 και υψωθη ο ανθρωπος και προβαινων μειζων εγινετο εως ου μεγας εγενετο σφοδρα	13 And the man was enriched, and he continued prospering as well as increasing, until he became very great.
14 εγενετο δε αυτω κτηνη προβατων και κτηνη βοων και γεωργια πολλα εζηλωσαν δε αυτον οι φυλιστιιμ	14 Likewise, he had possessions of sheep and of herds, and a very large family. Because of this, the Palestinians envied him,
15 και παντα τα φρεατα α ωρυξαν οι παιδες του πατρος αυτου εν τω χρονω του πατρος αυτου ενεφραξαν αυτα οι φυλιστιιμ και επλησαν αυτα γης	15 so, at that time, they obstructed all the wells that the servants of his father Abraham had dug, filling them with soil.
16 ειπεν δε αβιμελεχ προς ισαακ απελθε αφ' ημων οτι δυνατωτερος ημων εγενου σφοδρα	16 It reached a point where Abimelech himself said to Isaac, “Move away from us, for you have become very much more powerful than we.”
17 και απηλθεν εκειθεν ισαακ και κατελυσεν εν τη φαραγγι γεραρων και κατωκησεν εκει	17 And departing, he then went toward the torrent of Gerar, and he dwelt there.
18 και παλιν ισαακ ωρυξεν τα φρεατα του υδατος α ωρυξαν οι παιδες αβρααμ του πατρος αυτου και ενεφραξαν αυτα οι φυλιστιιμ μετα το αποθανειν αβρααμ τον πατερα αυτου και επωνομασεν αυτοις ονοματα κατα τα ονοματα α επωνομασεν αβρααμ ο πατηρ αυτου	18 Again, he dug up other wells, which the servants of his father Abraham had dug, and which, after his death, the Philistines had formerly obstructed. And he called them by the same names that his father had called them before.
19 και ωρυξαν οι παιδες ισαακ εν τη φαραγγι γεραρων και ευρον εκει φρεαρ υδατος ζωντος	19 And they dug in the torrent, and they found living water.
20 και εμαχεσαντο οι ποιμενες γεραρων μετα των ποιμενων ισαακ φασκοντες αυτων ειναι το υδωρ και εκαλεσεν το ονομα του φρεατος αδικια ηδικησαν γαρ αυτον	20 But in that place also the shepherds of Gerar argued against the shepherds of Isaac, by saying, “It is our water.” For this reason, he called the name of the well, because of what had happened, ‘Calumny.’
21 απαρας δε ισαακ εκειθεν ωρυξεν φρεαρ ετερον εκρινοντο δε και περι εκεινου και επωνομασεν το ονομα αυτου εχθρια	21 Then they dug up yet another one. And over that one also they fought, and he called it, ‘Enmity.’
22 απαρας δε εκειθεν ωρυξεν φρεαρ ετερον και ουκ εμαχεσαντο περι αυτου και επωνομασεν το ονομα αυτου ευρυχωρια λεγων διοτι νυν επλατυνεν κυριος ημιν και ηυξησεν ημας επι της γης	22 Advancing from there, he dug another well, over which they did not contend. And so he called its name, ‘Latitude,’ saying, “Now the Lord has expanded us and caused us to increase across the land.”
23 ανεβη δε εκειθεν επι το φρεαρ του ορκου	23 Then he ascended from that place into Beersheba,
24 και ωφθη αυτω κυριος εν τη νυκτι εκεινη και ειπεν εγω ειμι ο θεος αβρααμ του πατρος σου μη φοβου μετα σου γαρ ειμι και ηυλογηκα σε και πληθυνω το σπερμα σου δια αβρααμ τον πατερα σου	24 where the Lord appeared to him on the same night, saying: “I am the God of Abraham your father. Do not be afraid, for I am with you. I will bless you, and I will multiply your offspring because of my servant Abraham.”
25 και ωκοδομησεν εκει θυσιαστηριον και επεκαλεσατο το ονομα κυριου και επηξεν εκει την σκηνην αυτου ωρυξαν δε εκει οι παιδες ισαακ φρεαρ	25 And so he built an altar there. And he invoked the name of the Lord, and he stretched out his tent. And he instructed his servants to dig a well.
26 και αβιμελεχ επορευθη προς αυτον απο γεραρων και οχοζαθ ο νυμφαγωγος αυτου και φικολ ο αρχιστρατηγος της δυναμεως αυτου	26 When Abimelech, and Ahuzzath, his friend, and Phicol, the leader of the military, had arrived from Gerar to that place,
27 και ειπεν αυτοις ισαακ ινα τι ηλθατε προς με υμεις δε εμισησατε με και απεστειλατε με αφ' υμων	27 Isaac said to them, “Why have you come to me, a man whom you hate, and whom you have expelled from among you?”
28 και ειπαν ιδοντες εωρακαμεν οτι ην κυριος μετα σου και ειπαμεν γενεσθω αρα ανα μεσον ημων και ανα μεσον σου και διαθησομεθα μετα σου διαθηκην	28 And they responded: “We saw that the Lord is with you, and therefore we said: Let there be an oath between us, and let us initiate a pact,
29 μη ποιησειν μεθ' ημων κακον καθοτι ημεις σε ουκ εβδελυξαμεθα και ον τροπον εχρησαμεθα σοι καλως και εξαπεστειλαμεν σε μετ' ειρηνης και νυν συ ευλογητος υπο κυριου	29 so that you may not do us any kind of harm, just as we have touched nothing of yours, and have not caused any injury to you, but with peace we released you, augmented by the blessing of the Lord.”
30 και εποιησεν αυτοις δοχην και εφαγον και επιον	30 Therefore, he made them a feast, and after the food and drink,
31 και ανασταντες το πρωι ωμοσαν ανθρωπος τω πλησιον αυτου και εξαπεστειλεν αυτους ισαακ και απωχοντο απ' αυτου μετα σωτηριας	31 arising in the morning, they swore to one another. And Isaac sent them away peacefully to their own place.
32 εγενετο δε εν τη ημερα εκεινη και παραγενομενοι οι παιδες ισαακ απηγγειλαν αυτω περι του φρεατος ου ωρυξαν και ειπαν ουχ ευρομεν υδωρ	32 Then, behold, on the same day the servants of Isaac came, reporting to him about a well which they had dug, and saying: “We have found water.”
33 και εκαλεσεν αυτο ορκος δια τουτο ονομα τη πολει φρεαρ ορκου εως της σημερον ημερας	33 Therefore, he called it, ‘Abundance.’ And the name of the city was established as ‘Beersheba,’ even to the present day.
34 ην δε ησαυ ετων τεσσαρακοντα και ελαβεν γυναικα ιουδιν την θυγατερα βεηρ του χετταιου και την βασεμμαθ θυγατερα αιλων του ευαιου	34 In truth, at forty years of age, Esau took wives: Judith, the daughter of Beeri, the Hittite, and Basemath, the daughter of Elon, of the same place.
35 και ησαν εριζουσαι τω ισαακ και τη ρεβεκκα	35 And they both offended the mind of Isaac and Rebekah.
