Genesis 26

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	GREEK BIBLE
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.	1 Εγεινε δε πεινα εν τη γη, εκτος της προτερας πεινης, της γενομενης επι των ημερων του Αβρααμ. Και υπηγεν ο Ισαακ προς τον Αβιμελεχ, βασιλεα των Φιλισταιων, εις Γεραρα.
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,	2 Εφανη δε εις αυτον ο Κυριος και ειπε, Μη καταβης εις Αιγυπτον? κατοικησον εν τη γη την οποιαν θελω σοι ειπει?
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.	3 παροικει εν τη γη ταυτη, και εγω θελω εισθαι μετα σου, και θελω σε ευλογησει διοτι εις σε και εις το σπερμα σου θελω δωσει παντας τους τοπους τουτους? και θελω εκπληρωσει τον ορκον, τον οποιον ωμοσα προς Αβρααμ τον πατερα σου?
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,	4 και θελω πληθυνει το σπερμα σου ως τα αστρα του ουρανου, και θελω δωσει εις το σπερμα σου παντας τους τοπους τουτους, και θελουσιν ευλογηθη εν τω σπερματι σου παντα τα εθνη της γης?
5 because Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my precepts and commandments, and observed the ceremonies and the laws.”	5 επειδη ο Αβρααμ υπηκουσεν εις την φωνην μου, και εφυλαξε τα προσταγματα μου, τας εντολας μου, τα διαταγματα μου και τους νομους μου.
6 And so Isaac remained in Gerar.	6 Και κατωκησεν ο Ισαακ εν Γεραροις.
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.	7 Ηρωτησαν δε οι ανδρες του τοπου περι της γυναικος αυτου? και ειπεν, Αδελφη μου ειναι? διοτι εφοβηθη να ειπη, Γυνη μου ειναι? λεγων, Μηπως με φονευσωσιν οι ανδρες του τοπου δια την Ρεβεκκαν? επειδη ητο ωραια την οψιν.
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.	8 Και αφου διετριψεν εκει πολλας ημερας, Αβιμελεχ ο βασιλευς των Φιλισταιων, κυψας απο της θυριδος ειδε, και ιδου, ο Ισαακ επαιζε μετα Ρεβεκκας της γυναικος αυτου.
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.”	9 Εκαλεσε δε ο Αβιμελεχ τον Ισαακ και ειπεν, Ιδου, βεβαιως γυνη σου ειναι αυτη? δια τι λοιπον ειπας, Αδελφη μου ειναι; Και ειπε προς αυτον ο Ισαακ, διοτι ειπον, Μηπως αποθανω εξ αιτιας αυτης.
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,	10 Και ειπεν ο Αβιμελεχ, Τι ειναι τουτο, το οποιον εκαμες εις ημας; παρ' ολιγον ηθελε κοιμηθη τις εκ του λαου μετα της γυναικος σου, και ηθελες φερει εφ' ημας ανομιαν.
11 “Whoever will touch the wife of this man will die a death.”	11 Και προσεταξεν ο Αβιμελεχ εις παντα τον λαον, λεγων, Οστις εγγιση τον ανθρωπον τουτον η την γυναικα αυτου, θελει εξαπαντος θανατωθη.
12 Then Isaac sowed in that land, and he found, in that same year, one hundredfold. And the Lord blessed him.	12 Εσπειρε δε ο Ισαακ εν τη γη εκεινη και εσυναξε κατ' εκεινον τον χρονον εκατονταπλασια? και ευλογησεν αυτον ο Κυριος.
13 And the man was enriched, and he continued prospering as well as increasing, until he became very great.	13 Και εμεγαλυνετο ο ανθρωπος και επροχωρει αυξανομενος, εωσου εγεινε μεγας σφοδρα?
14 Likewise, he had possessions of sheep and of herds, and a very large family. Because of this, the Palestinians envied him,	14 και απεκτησε προβατα και βοας και δουλους πολλους? εφθονησαν δε αυτον οι Φιλισταιοι.
15 so, at that time, they obstructed all the wells that the servants of his father Abraham had dug, filling them with soil.	15 Και παντα τα φρεατα, τα οποια εσκαψαν οι δουλοι του πατρος αυτου επι των ημερων Αβρααμ του πατρος αυτου, ενεφραξαν ταυτα οι Φιλισταιοι και εγεμισαν αυτα χωμα.
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.”	16 Και ειπεν ο Αβιμελεχ προς τον Ισαακ, Απελθε αφ' ημων, διοτι εγεινες δυνατωτερος ημων σφοδρα.
17 And departing, he then went toward the torrent of Gerar, and he dwelt there.	17 Και απηλθεν εκειθεν ο Ισαακ και εστησε την σκηνην αυτου εν τη κοιλαδι των Γεραρων και κατωκησεν εκει.
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.	18 Και ηνοιξε παλιν ο Ισαακ τα φρεατα του υδατος, τα οποια εσκαψαν επι των ημερων Αβρααμ του πατρος αυτου, οι δε Φιλισταιοι ενεφραξαν αυτα μετα τον θανατον του Αβρααμ? και ωνομασεν αυτα κατα τα ονοματα, με τα οποια ο πατηρ αυτου ειχεν ονομασει αυτα.
19 And they dug in the torrent, and they found living water.	19 Και εσκαψαν οι δουλοι του Ισαακ εν τη κοιλαδι και ευρηκαν εκει φρεαρ υδατος ζωντος.
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.’	20 Ελογομαχησαν δε οι ποιμενες των Γεραρων μετα των ποιμενων του Ισαακ, λεγοντες, Ιδικον μας ειναι το υδωρ? και ωνομασε το φρεαρ Εσεκ? διοτι εφιλονεικησαν μετ' αυτου.
21 Then they dug up yet another one. And over that one also they fought, and he called it, ‘Enmity.’	21 Και εσκαψαν αλλο φρεαρ και ελογομαχησαν και περι αυτου? δια τουτο ωνομασεν αυτο Σιτνα.
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.”	22 Και μετοικησας εκειθεν εσκαψεν αλλο φρεαρ, και περι τουτου δεν ελογομαχησαν? και ωνομασεν αυτο Ρεχωβωθ, λεγων, διοτι τωρα επλατυνεν ημας ο Κυριος και ηυξησεν ημας επι της γης.
23 Then he ascended from that place into Beersheba,	23 Και εκειθεν ανεβη εις Βηρ-σαβεε.
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.”	24 Και εφανη εις αυτον ο Κυριος την νυκτα εκεινην, και ειπεν, Εγω ειμαι ο Θεος Αβρααμ του πατρος σου? μη φοβου, διοτι εγω ειμαι μετα σου, και θελω σε ευλογησει και θελω πληθυνει το σπερμα σου, δια Αβρααμ τον δουλον μου.
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.	25 Και ωκοδομησεν εκει θυσιαστηριον και επεκαλεσθη το ονομα του Κυριου? και εστησεν εκει την σκηνην αυτου? εσκαψαν δε εκει οι δουλοι του Ισαακ φρεαρ.
26 When Abimelech, and Ahuzzath, his friend, and Phicol, the leader of the military, had arrived from Gerar to that place,	26 Τοτε ο Αβιμελεχ υπηγε προς αυτον απο Γεραρων, και Οχοζαθ ο οικειος αυτου, και Φιχολ ο αρχιστρατηγος της δυναμεως αυτου.
27 Isaac said to them, “Why have you come to me, a man whom you hate, and whom you have expelled from among you?”	27 Και ειπε προς αυτους ο Ισαακ, Δια τι ηλθετε προς εμε, αφου σεις με εμισησατε και με εδιωξατε απο σας;
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,	28 οι δε ειπον, Ειδομεν φανερα, οτι ο Κυριος ειναι μετα σου, και ειπομεν, Ας γεινη τωρα ορκος μεταξυ ημων, μεταξυ ημων και σου, και ας καμωμεν συνθηκην μετα σου,
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.”	29 οτι δεν θελεις καμει κακον εις ημας, καθως ημεις δεν σε ηγγισαμεν, και καθως επραξαμεν εις σε μονον καλον, και σε εξαπεστειλαμεν εν ειρηνη? τωρα συ εισαι ευλογημενος του Κυριου.
30 Therefore, he made them a feast, and after the food and drink,	30 Και εκαμεν εις αυτους συμποσιον? και εφαγον και επιον.
31 arising in the morning, they swore to one another. And Isaac sent them away peacefully to their own place.	31 Και εσηκωθησαν ενωρις το πρωι, και ωμοσεν ο εις προς τον αλλον? τοτε ο Ισαακ εξαπεστειλεν αυτους, και απηλθον απ' αυτου εν ειρηνη.
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.”	32 Και την ημεραν εκεινην ηλθον οι δουλοι του Ισαακ και ανηγγειλαν προς αυτον περι του φρεατος το οποιον εσκαψαν, και ειπαν προς αυτον, Ευρηκαμεν υδωρ.
33 Therefore, he called it, ‘Abundance.’ And the name of the city was established as ‘Beersheba,’ even to the present day.	33 Και ωνομασεν αυτο Σαβεε? δια τουτο ειναι το ονομα της πολεως Βηρ-σαβεε εως της σημερον.
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.	34 Ητο δε ο Ησαυ ετων τεσσαρακοντα, οτε ελαβεν εις γυναικα Ιουδιθ, την θυγατερα Βεηρι του Χετταιου, και Βασεμαθ, την θυγατερα Αιλων του Χετταιου?
35 And they both offended the mind of Isaac and Rebekah.	35 και αυται ησαν πικρια ψυχης εις τον Ισαακ και την Ρεβεκκαν.
