Abram Journeys to Egypt
| 1 καὶ εἶπεν κύριος τῷ Ἅβραμ, ἔξελθε ἐκ τῆς γῆς σου καὶ ἐκ τῆς συγγενείας σου καὶ ἐκ τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ πατρός σου εἰς τὴν γῆν, ἣν ἄν σοί δείξω· 2 καὶ ποιήσω σὲ εἰς ἔθνος μέγα καὶ εὐλογήσω σὲ καὶ μεγαλυνῶ τὸ ὄνομά σου, καὶ ἔσῃ εὐλογητός 3 καὶ εὐλογήσω τοὺς εὐλογοῦντάς· σε, καὶ τοὺς καταρωμένους σὲ καταράσομαι· καὶ ἐνευλογηθήσονται ἐν σοί πᾶσαι αἱ φυλαὶ τῆς γῆς. | 1 And the Lord said to Abram, "Go out from your land, and from your kindred, and from the house of your father, into the land which I shall show you. 2 And I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you and magnify your name, and you shall be blessed. 3 And I will bless those who bless you, and those who curse you I will curse; and in you shall all the tribes of the earth be blessed." |
| 4 καὶ ἐπορεύθη Ἅβραμ, καθάπερ ἐλάλησεν αὐτῷ κύριος, καὶ ᾤχετο μετ' αὐτοῦ Λώτ· Ἅβραμ δὲ ἦν ἐτῶν ἑβδομήκοντα πέντε, ὅτε ἐξῆλθεν ἐκ Χαρράν. 5 καὶ ἔλαβεν Ἅβραμ τὴν Σάραν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ καὶ τὸν Λὼτ υἱὸν τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ καὶ πάντα τὰ ὑπάρχοντα αὐτῶν, ὅσα ἐκτήσαντο ἐκτήσαντο, καὶ πᾶσαν ψυχήν, ἣν ἐκτήσαντο ἐν Χαρράν, καὶ ἐξήλθοσαν πορευθῆναι εἰς γῆν Χαναὰν καὶ ἦλθον εἰς γῆν Χαναάν. 6 καὶ διώδευσεν Ἅβραμ τὴν γῆν εἰς τὸ μῆκος αὐτῆς ἕως τοῦ τόπου Συχὲμ ἐπὶ τὴν δρῦν τὴν ὑψηλήν· οἱ δὲ Χαναναῖοι τότε κατῴκουν τὴν γῆν. 7 καὶ ὤφθη κύριος τῷ Ἅβραμ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, τῷ σπέρματί σου δώσω τὴν γῆν ταύτην. καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν ἐκεῖ Ἅβραμ θυσιαστήριον κυρίῳ τῷ ὀφθέντι αὐτῷ. 8 καὶ ἀπέστη ἐκεῖθεν εἰς τὸ ὄρος κατ' ἀνατολὰς Βαιθὴλ καὶ ἔστησεν ἐκεῖ τὴν σκηνὴν αὐτοῦ, Βαιθὴλ κατὰ θάλασσαν καὶ Ἀγγαὶ κατ' ἀνατολάς· καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν ἐκεῖ θυσιαστήριον τῷ κυρίῳ καὶ ἐπεκαλέσατο ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματι κυρίου. 9 καὶ ἀπῆρεν Ἅβραμ καὶ πορευθεὶς ἐστρατοπέδευσεν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ. | 4 And Abram went, just as the Lord spoke to him, and Lot went with him; and Abram was seventy-five years old when he went out from Charran. 5 And Abram took Sara his wife, and Lot the son of his brother, and all their possessions, as many as they had acquired, and every soul they had acquired in Charran; and they went out to go into the land of Canaan, and they came into the land of Canaan. 6 And Abram traveled through the land in its length as far as the place of Sychem, to the high oak; and the Canaanites then inhabited the land. 7 And the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, "To your seed I will give this land." And Abram built an altar there to the Lord who appeared to him. 8 And he departed from there to the mountain east of Bethel and pitched his tent there, Bethel toward the sea (west) and Aggai (Ai) toward the east; and he built an altar there to the Lord and called upon the name of the Lord. 9 And Abram removed and, proceeding, encamped in the wilderness. |
| 10 καὶ ἐγένετο λιμὸς ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, καὶ κατέβη Ἅβραμ εἰς Αἴγυπτον παροικῆσαι ἐκεῖ, ὅτι ἐνίσχυσεν ὁ λιμὸς ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς. 11 ἐγένετο δὲ ἡνίκα ἤγγισεν Ἅβραμ εἰσελθεῖν εἰς Αἴγυπτον, εἶπεν Ἅβραμ Σάρα τῇ γυναικὶ αὐτοῦ, γινώσκω ἐγὼ ὅτι γυνὴ εὐπρόσωπος εἶ· 12 ἔσται οὖν ὡς ἄν ἴδωσίν σὲ οἱ Αἰγύπτιοι, ἐροῦσιν ὅτι γυνὴ αὐτοῦ αὕτη, καὶ ἀποκτενοῦσίν με, σὲ δὲ περιποιήσονται. 13 εἰπὸν οὖν ὅτι, ἀδελφὴ αὐτοῦ εἰμι, ὅπως ἄν εὖ μοι γένηται διὰ σέ, καὶ ζήσεται ἡ ψυχή μου ἕνεκεν σου. | 10 And there was a famine upon the land, and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there, because the famine prevailed upon the land. 11 And it happened when Abram drew near to enter into Egypt, he said to Sara his wife, "I know that you are a woman of beautiful countenance. 12 It shall be, therefore, that when the Egyptians see you, they will say, 'This is his wife,' and they will kill me, but they will keep you alive. 13 Say therefore, 'I am his sister,' so that it may be well with me because of you, and my soul shall live for your sake." |
| 14 ἐγένετο δὲ ἡνίκα εἰσῆλθεν Ἅβραμ εἰς Αἴγυπτον, ἰδόντες οἱ Αἰγύπτιοι τὴν γυναῖκα ὅτι καλὴ ἦν σφόδρα, 15 καὶ εἶδον αὐτὴν οἱ ἄρχοντες Φαραὼ καὶ ἐπῄνεσαν αὐτὴν πρὸς Φαραὼ καὶ εἰσήγαγον αὐτὴν εἰς τὸν οἶκον Φαραώ· 16 καὶ τῷ Ἅβραμ εὖ ἐχρήσαντο δι' αὐτήν, καὶ ἐγένοντο αὐτῷ πρόβατα καὶ μόσχοι καὶ ὄνοι, παῖδες καὶ παιδίσκαι, ἡμίονοι καὶ κάμηλοι. 17 καὶ ἤτασεν ὁ θεὸς τὸν Φαραὼ ἐτασμοῖς μεγάλοις καὶ πονηροῖς καὶ τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ περὶ περὶ Σάρας τῆς γυναικὸς Ἅβραμ. 18 καλέσας δὲ Φαραὼ τὸν Ἅβραμ εἶπεν, τί τοῦτο ἐποίησάς μοι ὅτι οὐκ ἀπήγγειλάς μοι, ὅτι γυνή σου ἐστίν; 19 ἵνα τί εἶπας ὅτι ἀδελφή μού ἐστιν; καὶ ἔλαβον αὐτὴν ἐμαυτῷ εἰς γυναῖκα. καὶ νῦν ἰδοὺ ἡ γυνή σου ἐναντίον σου· λαβὼν ἀπότρεχε. 20 καὶ ἐνετείλατο Φαραὼ ἀνδράσιν περὶ Ἅβραμ συμπροπέμψαι αὐτὸν καὶ τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ καὶ πάντα, ὅσα ἦν αὐτῷ, καὶ Λὼτ μετ' αὐτοῦ. | 14 And it happened when Abram entered into Egypt, the Egyptians saw the woman that she was exceedingly beautiful. 15 And the princes of Pharaoh saw her and praised her to Pharaoh, and they led her into the house of Pharaoh. 16 And they treated Abram well because of her, and he acquired sheep, and calves, and donkeys, male and female servants, mules, and camels. 17 And God afflicted Pharaoh with great and evil plagues, and his house, concerning Sara, the wife of Abram. 18 And Pharaoh, having called Abram, said, "What is this you have done to me? Why did you not report to me that she is your wife? 19 Why did you say, 'She is my sister'? And I took her for myself as a wife. Now therefore, behold your wife before you; take her and run away!" 20 And Pharaoh commanded men concerning Abram to send him away together with his wife and all that he had, and Lot with him. |
