Genesis 20

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	GREEK BIBLE
1 Abraham advanced from there into the southern land, and he lived between Kadesh and Shur. And he sojourned in Gerar.	1 Και εκινησεν εκειθεν ο Αβρααμ εις την γην την προς μεσημβριαν, και κατωκησε μεταξυ Καδης και Σουρ? και παρωκησεν εν Γεραροις.
2 And he said about his wife Sarah: “She is my sister.” Therefore, Abimelech, the king of Gerar, sent for her and took her.	2 Και ειπεν ο Αβρααμ περι Σαρρας της γυναικος αυτου, Αδελφη μου ειναι. Εστειλε δε Αβιμελεχ ο βασιλευς των Γεραρων, και ελαβε την Σαρραν.
3 Then God came to Abimelech through a dream in the night, and he said to him: “Lo, you shall die because of the woman that you have taken. For she has a husband.”	3 Και ηλθεν ο Θεος προς τον Αβιμελεχ κατ' οναρ την νυκτα, και ειπε προς αυτον, Ιδου, συ αποθνησκεις εξ αιτιας της γυναικος, την οποιαν ελαβες? διοτι ειναι νενυμφευμενη με ανδρα.
4 In truth, Abimelech had not touched her, and so he said: “Lord, would you put to death a people, ignorant and just?	4 Ο δε Αβιμελεχ δεν ειχε πλησιασει εις αυτην? και ειπε, Κυριε, ηθελες φονευσει εθνος ετι και δικαιον;
5 Did he not say to me, ‘She is my sister,’ and did she not say, ‘He is my brother?’ In the sincerity of my heart and the purity of my hands, I have done this.”	5 δεν μοι ειπεν αυτος, Αδελφη μου ειναι; και αυτη παλιν, αυτη ειπεν, Αδελφος μου ειναι. Εν ευθυτητι της καρδιας μου και εν καθαροτητι των χειρων μου επραξα τουτο.
6 And God said to him: “And I know that you have acted with a sincere heart. And therefore I kept you from sinning against me, and I did not release you to touch her.	6 Ειπε δε προς αυτον ο Θεος κατ' οναρ, Και εγω εγνωρισα οτι εν ευθυτητι της καρδιας σου επραξας τουτο? οθεν και εγω σε εμποδισα απο του να αμαρτησης εις εμε? δια τουτο δεν σε αφηκα να εγγισης αυτην?
7 Now therefore, return his wife to the man, for he is a prophet. And he will pray for you, and you will live. But if you are not willing to return her, know this: you shall die a death, you and all that is yours.”	7 τωρα λοιπον αποδος την γυναικα προς τον ανθρωπον, διοτι ειναι προφητης? και θελει προσευχηθη υπερ σου και θελεις ζησει? αλλ' εαν δεν αποδωσης αυτην, εξευρε οτι εξαπαντος θελεις αποθανει, συ και παντα οσα εχεις.
8 And immediately Abimelech, rising up in the night, called all his servants. And he spoke all these words in their hearing, and all the men were very afraid.	8 Σηκωθεις δε ο Αβιμελεχ ενωρις το πρωι, εκαλεσε παντας τους δουλους αυτου, και ελαλησε παντας τους λογους τουτους εις επηκοον αυτων? και εφοβηθησαν οι ανθρωποι σφοδρα.
9 Then Abimelech called also for Abraham, and he said to him: “What have you done to us? How have we sinned against you, so that you would bring so great a sin upon me and upon my kingdom? You have done to us what you ought not to have done.”	9 Και εκαλεσεν ο Αβιμελεχ τον Αβρααμ και ειπε προς αυτον, Τι επραξας εις ημας; και τι αμαρτημα επραξα εις σε, ωστε επεφερες επ' εμε και επι το βασιλειον μου, αμαρτιαν μεγαλην; επραξας εις εμε πραγμα, το οποιον δεν επρεπε να πραχθη.
10 And remonstrating him again, he said, “What did you see, so that you would do this?”	10 Και ειπεν ο Αβιμελεχ προς τον Αβρααμ, Τι ειδες, ωστε να πραξης το πραγμα τουτο;
11 Abraham responded: “I thought to myself, saying: Perhaps there is no fear of God in this place. And they will put me to death because of my wife.	11 Και ειπεν ο Αβρααμ, Επειδη εγω ειπον, Βεβαια δεν ειναι φοβος Θεου εν τω τοπω τουτω και θελουσι με φονευσει δια την γυναικα μου?
12 Yet, in another way, she is also truly my sister, the daughter of my father, and not the daughter of my mother, and I took her as a wife.	12 και ομως αληθως αδελφη μου ειναι, θυγατηρ του πατρος μου, αλλ' ουχι θυγατηρ της μητρος μου? και εγεινε γυνη μου.
13 Then, after God led me out of my father’s house, I said to her: ‘You will show this mercy to me. In every place, to which we will travel, you will say that I am your brother.’ ”	13 και οτε με εκαμεν ο Θεος να εξελθω εκ του οικου του πατρος μου, ειπον προς αυτην, Ταυτην την χαριν θελεις καμει εις εμε? εις παντα τοπον οπου αν υπαγωμεν, λεγε περι εμου, Ουτος ειναι αδελφος μου.
14 Therefore, Abimelech took sheep and oxen, and men servants and women servants, and he gave them to Abraham. And he returned his wife Sarah to him.	14 Και ελαβεν ο Αβιμελεχ προβατα και βοας και δουλους και δουλας, και εδωκεν εις τον Αβρααμ, και απεδωκεν εις αυτον Σαρραν την γυναικα αυτου.
15 And he said, “The land is in your sight. Dwell wherever it will please you.”	15 και ειπεν ο Αβιμελεχ, Ιδου, η γη μου εμπροσθεν σου. κατοικησον οπου σοι αρεσκει.
16 Then to Sarah he said: “Behold, I have given your brother one thousand silver coins. This will be for you as a veil for your eyes, to all who are with you and wherever you will travel. And so, remember that you were taken.”	16 Και προς την Σαρραν ειπεν, Ιδου, εδωκα χιλια αργυρια εις τον αδελφον σου? ιδου, αυτος ειναι εις σε σκεπη των οφθαλμων προς παντας τους μετα σου και προς παντας τους αλλους. Ουτως αυτη επεπληχθη.
17 Then when Abraham prayed, God healed Abimelech and his wife, and his handmaids, and they gave birth.	17 Προσηυχηθη δε ο Αβρααμ προς τον Θεον? και εθεραπευσεν ο Θεος τον Αβιμελεχ και την γυναικα αυτου και τας θεραπαινας αυτου, και ετεκνοποιησαν.
18 For the Lord had closed every womb of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah, the wife of Abraham.	18 διοτι ο Κυριος ειχε κλεισει διολου πασαν μητραν εν τη οικια του Αβιμελεχ, εξ αιτιας Σαρρας της γυναικος του Αβρααμ.
