Genesis 21

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	GREEK BIBLE
1 Then the Lord visited Sarah, just as he had promised; and he fulfilled what he had spoken.	1 Και επεσκεφθη ο Κυριος την Σαρραν, ως ειπε? και εκαμεν ο Κυριος εις την Σαρραν, ως ελαλησε.
2 And she conceived and gave birth to a son in her old age, at the time that God had foretold to her.	2 Και συνελαβεν η Σαρρα, και εγεννησεν εις τον Αβρααμ υιον εν τω γηρατι αυτου? κατα τον καιρον, τον οποιον ειπε προς αυτον ο Θεος.
3 And Abraham called the name of his son, whom Sarah bore for him, Isaac.	3 Και εκαλεσεν ο Αβρααμ το ονομα του υιου αυτου, του γεννηθεντος εις αυτον, τον οποιον η Σαρρα εγεννησεν εις αυτον, Ισαακ.
4 And he circumcised him on the eighth day, just as God had instructed him,	4 Περιετεμε δε ο Αβρααμ τον υιον αυτου Ισαακ την ογδοην ημεραν, ως προσεταξεν εις αυτον ο Θεος.
5 when he was one hundred years old. Indeed, at this stage of his father’s life, Isaac was born.	5 Ητο δε ο Αβρααμ εκατον ετων, οτε εγεννηθη εις αυτον Ισαακ ο υιος αυτου.
6 And Sarah said: “God has brought laughter to me. Whoever will hear of it will laugh with me.”	6 Και ειπεν η Σαρρα, Ο Θεος με εκαμε να γελω? οστις ακουση, θελει γελα μετ' εμου.
7 And again, she said: “Hearing this, who would believe Abraham, that Sarah breast-fed a son, to whom she gave birth, despite being elderly?”	7 Και ειπε, Τις ηθελεν ειπει προς τον Αβρααμ, οτι ηθελε θηλασει τεκνα η Σαρρα; επειδη εγεννησα υιον εν τω γηρατι αυτου.
8 And the boy grew and was weaned. And Abraham made a great feast on the day of his weaning.	8 Το δε παιδιον ηυξησε και απεγαλακτισθη? και εκαμεν ο Αβρααμ μεγα συμποσιον, καθ' ην ημεραν απεγαλακτισθη ο Ισαακ.
9 And when Sarah had seen the son of Hagar the Egyptian playing with her son Isaac, she said to Abraham:	9 Και ειδεν η Σαρρα τον υιον της Αγαρ της Αιγυπτιας, τον οποιον εγεννησεν εις τον Αβρααμ, περιγελωντα τον Ισαακ.
10 “Cast out this woman servant and her son. For the son of a woman servant will not be heir with my son Isaac.”	10 Και ειπε προς τον Αβρααμ, Διωξον την δουλην ταυτην και τον υιον αυτης? διοτι δεν θελει κληρονομησει ο υιος της δουλης ταυτης μετα του υιου μου, του Ισαακ.
11 Abraham took this grievously, for the sake of his son.	11 Εφανη δε σκληρον σφοδρα το πραγμα εις τους οφθαλμους του Αβρααμ περι του υιου αυτου.
12 And God said to him: “Let it not seem harsh to you concerning the boy and your woman servant. In all that Sarah has said to you, listen to her voice. For your offspring will be invoked in Isaac.	12 Και ειπεν ο Θεος προς τον Αβρααμ, Ας μη φανη σκληρον εις τους οφθαλμους σου περι του παιδιου και περι της δουλης σου? κατα παντα οσα ειπη προς σε η Σαρρα, ακουε τους λογους αυτης? διοτι εν τω Ισαακ θελει κληθη εις σε σπερμα?
13 Yet I will also make the son of the woman servant into a great nation, for he is your offspring.”	13 και τον υιον δε της δουλης εις εθνος θελω καταστησει αυτον? διοτι ειναι σπερμα σου.
14 And so Abraham arose in the morning, and taking bread and a skin of water, he placed it upon her shoulder, and he handed over the boy, and he released her. And when she had departed, she wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.	14 Σηκωθεις δε ο Αβρααμ ενωρις το πρωι, ελαβεν αρτους και ασκον υδατος και εδωκεν εις την Αγαρ, επιθεσας αυτα επι τον ωμον αυτης, και το παιδιον, και απεπεμψεν αυτην. Η δε αναχωρησασα περιεπλανατο εν τη ερημω Βηρ-σαβεε.
15 And when the water in the skin had been consumed, she set aside the boy, under one of the trees that were there.	15 Και αφου ετελειωσε το υδωρ απο του ασκου, ερριψε το παιδιον υποκατω ενος θαμνου?
16 And she moved away and sat in a distant area, as far as a bow can reach. For she said, “I shall not see the boy die.” And so, sitting opposite her, he lifted up his voice and wept.	16 και ελθουσα εκαθισεν απεναντι, μακραν εως τοξου βολης? διοτι ειπε, να μη ιδω τον θανατον του παιδιου. Και εκαθισεν απεναντι και υψωσε την φωνην αυτης και εκλαυσεν.
17 But God heard the voice of the boy. And an Angel of God called to Hagar from heaven, saying: “What are you doing, Hagar? Do not be afraid. For God has heeded the voice of the boy, from the place where he is.	17 Εισηκουσε δε ο Θεος την φωνην του παιδιου? και εφωνησεν αγγελος Θεου προς την Αγαρ εκ του ουρανου, και ειπε προς αυτην, Τι εχεις, Αγαρ; μη φοβου? διοτι ηκουσεν ο Θεος την φωνην του παιδιου εκ του τοπου ενθα κειται?
18 Rise up. Take the boy and hold him by the hand. For I will make of him a great nation.”	18 σηκωθητι, λαβε το παιδιον, και κρατει αυτο με την χειρα σου? διοτι θελω καταστησει αυτο εις εθνος μεγα.
19 And God opened her eyes. And seeing a well of water, she went and filled the skin, and she gave the boy to drink.	19 Και ηνοιξεν ο Θεος τους οφθαλμους αυτης, και ιδουσα φρεαρ υδατος υπηγε και εγεμισε τον ασκον υδωρ και εποτισε το παιδιον.
20 And God was with him. And he grew, and he stayed in the wilderness, and he became a young man, an archer.	20 Και ητο ο Θεος μετα του παιδιου, και ηυξησε, και κατωκησεν εν τη ερημω και εγεινε τοξοτης.
21 And he lived in the desert of Paran, and his mother took a wife for him from the land of Egypt.	21 Και κατωκησεν εν τη ερημω Φαραν? και η μητηρ αυτου ελαβεν εις αυτον γυναικα εκ γης Αιγυπτου.
22 At the same time, Abimelech and Phicol, the leader of his army, said to Abraham: “God is with you in everything that you do.	22 Κατ' εκεινον δε τον καιρον ο Αβιμελεχ, μετα του Φιχολ αρχιστρατηγου της δυναμεως αυτου, ειπε προς τον Αβρααμ, λεγων, Ο Θεος ειναι μετα σου εις παντα οσα πραττεις?
23 Therefore, swear by God that you will do no harm to me, and to my posterity, and to my stock. But according to the mercy that I have done to you, you will do to me and to the land, to which you have turned as a newcomer.”	23 τωρα λοιπον ομοσον προς εμε εδω εις τον Θεον, οτι δεν θελεις ψευσθη προς εμε, ουτε προς τον υιον μου, ουτε προς τους εγγονους μου? αλλα κατα το ελεος, το οποιον εκαμα εις σε, θελεις καμει εις εμε, και εις την γην οπου παρωκησας.
24 And Abraham said, “I will swear.”	24 Και ειπεν ο Αβρααμ, Εγω θελω ομοσει.
25 And he reproved Abimelech because of a well of water, which his servants had taken away by force.	25 Και ελεγξεν ο Αβρααμ τον Αβιμελεχ δια το φρεαρ του υδατος, το οποιον αφηρπασαν οι δουλοι του Αβιμελεχ.
26 And Abimelech responded, “I do not know who did this thing, but you also did not reveal it to me, nor have I heard of it, before today.”	26 Και ειπεν ο Αβιμελεχ, Δεν εξευρω τις επραξε το πραγμα τουτο? και ουτε συ με εφανερωσας και ουτε εγω ηκουσα, ειμη σημερον.
27 And so Abraham took sheep and oxen, and he gave them to Abimelech. And both of them struck a pact.	27 Και λαβων ο Αβρααμ προβατα και βοας, εδωκεν εις τον Αβιμελεχ? και εκαμον αμφοτεροι συνθηκην.
28 And Abraham set aside seven female lambs from the flock.	28 Και εβαλεν ο Αβρααμ κατα μερος επτα θηλυκα αρνια του ποιμνιου.
29 Abimelech said to him, “What purpose have these seven female lambs, which you have caused to stand separately?”	29 Και ειπεν ο Αβιμελεχ προς τον Αβρααμ, Τι ειναι ταυτα τα επτα θηλυκα αρνια, τα οποια εβαλες κατα μερος;
30 But he said, “You will receive seven female lambs from my hand, so that they may be a testimony for me, that I dug this well.”	30 Ο δε ειπεν, Οτι ταυτα τα επτα θηλυκα αρνια θελεις λαβει εκ της χειρος μου, δια να ηναι εις εμε εις μαρτυριον οτι εγω εσκαψα το φρεαρ τουτο.
31 For this reason, that place was called Beersheba, because there both of them did swear.	31 δια τουτο ωνομασε τον τοπον εκεινον, Βηρ-σαβεε? διοτι εκει ωμοσαν αμφοτεροι.
32 And they initiated a pact on behalf of the well of oath.	32 Και εκαμον συνθηκην εν Βηρ-σαβεε. Εσηκωθη δε ο Αβιμελεχ και Φιχολ ο αρχιστρατηγος της δυναμεως αυτου, και επεστρεψαν εις την γην των Φιλισταιων.
33 Then Abimelech and Phicol, the leader of his army, rose up, and they returned to the land of the Palestinians. In truth, Abraham planted a grove in Beersheba, and there he called upon the name of the Lord God Eternal.	33 Και εφυτευσεν ο Αβρααμ δρυμον εν Βηρ-σαβεε? και επεκαλεσθη εκει το ονομα του Κυριου, του αιωνιου Θεου.
34 And he was a settler in the land of the Palestinians for many days.	34 Παρωκησε δε ο Αβρααμ εν τη γη των Φιλισταιων ημερας πολλας.
