Genesis 24

And Abraham was old, and well stricken in age: and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things.

Ητο δε ο Αβρααμ γερων προβεβηκως την ηλικιαν και ο Κυριος ευλογησε τον Αβρααμ κατα παντα.

And Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house, that ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh:

Και ειπεν ο Αβρααμ προς τον δουλον αυτου τον πρεσβυτερον της οικιας αυτου, τον επιστατην παντων των υπαρχοντων αυτου, Βαλε, παρακαλω, την χειρα σου υπο τον μηρον μου

And I will make thee swear by the LORD, the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell:

και θελω σε ορκισει εις Κυριον τον Θεον του ουρανου και τον Θεον της γης, οτι δεν θελεις λαβει γυναικα εις τον υιον μου εκ των θυγατερων των Χαναναιων, μεταξυ των οποιων εγω κατοικω

But thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son Isaac.

αλλ εις τον τοπον μου, και εις την συγγενειαν μου θελεις υπαγει, και θελεις λαβει γυναικα εις τον υιον μου τον Ισαακ.

And the servant said unto him, Peradventure the woman will not be willing to follow me unto this land: must I needs bring thy son again unto the land from whence thou camest?

Ειπε δε προς αυτον ο δουλος, Ισως δεν θεληση η γυνη να μοι ακολουθηση εις την γην ταυτην πρεπει να φερω τον υιον σου εις την γην εκ της οποιας εξηλθες;

And Abraham said unto him, Beware thou that thou bring not my son thither again.

Και ειπε προς αυτον ο Αβρααμ, Προσεχε, μη φερης τον υιον μου εκει

The LORD God of heaven, which took me from my father's house, and from the land of my kindred, and which spake unto me, and that sware unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land; he shall send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife unto my son from thence.

Κυριος ο Θεος του ουρανου, οστις με ελαβεν εκ του οικου του πατρος μου και εκ της γης της γεννησεως μου, και οστις ελαλησε προς εμε και οστις ωμοσεν εις εμε λεγων, εις το σπερμα σου θελω δωσει την γην ταυτην, αυτος θελει αποστειλει τον αγγελον αυτου εμπροσθεν σου και θελεις λαβει γυναικα εις τον υιον μου εκειθεν

And if the woman will not be willing to follow thee, then thou shalt be clear from this my oath: only bring not my son thither again.

εαν δε η γυνη δεν θελη να σε ακολουθηση, τοτε θελεις εισθαι ελευθερος απο του ορκου μου τουτου μονον τον υιον μου να μη φερης εκει.

And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and sware to him concerning that matter.

Και εβαλεν ο δουλος την χειρα αυτου υπο τον μηρον του Αβρααμ του κυριου αυτου, και ωρκισθη εις αυτον περι του πραγματος τουτου.

And the servant took ten camels of the camels of his master, and departed; for all the goods of his master were in his hand: and he arose, and went to Mesopotamia, unto the city of Nahor.

Και ελαβεν ο δουλος δεκα καμηλους εκ των καμηλων του κυριου αυτου και ανεχωρησε, φερων μεθ εαυτου απο παντων των αγαθων του κυριου αυτου και σηκωθεις, υπηγεν εις την Μεσοποταμιαν, εις την πολιν του Ναχωρ.

And he made his camels to kneel down without the city by a well of water at the time of the evening, even the time that women go out to draw water.

Και εγονατισε τας καμηλους εξω της πολεως παρα το φρεαρ του υδατος, προς το εσπερας, οτε εξερχονται αι γυναικες δια να αντλησωσιν υδωρ.

And he said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, I pray thee, send me good speed this day, and shew kindness unto my master Abraham.

Και ειπε, Κυριε Θεε του κυριου μου Αβρααμ, δος μοι, δεομαι, καλον συναντημα σημερον, και καμε ελεος εις τον κυριον μου Αβρααμ

Behold, I stand here by the well of water; and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water:

ιδου, εγω ισταμαι πλησιον της πηγης του υδατος αι δε θυγατερες των κατοικων της πολεως εξερχονται δια να αντλησωσιν υδωρ

And let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall say, Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink; and she shall say, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: let the same be she that thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac; and thereby shall I know that thou hast shewed kindness unto my master.

και η κορη προς την οποιαν ειπω, Επικλινον, παρακαλω, την υδριαν σου δια να πιω, και αυτη ειπη, Πιε και θελω ποτισει και τας καμηλους σου, αυτη ας ηναι εκεινη, την οποιαν ητοιμασας εις τον δουλον σου τον Ισαακ και εκ τουτου θελω γνωρισει οτι εκαμες ελεος εις τον κυριον μου.

And it came to pass, before he had done speaking, that, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder.

Και πριν αυτος παυση λαλων, ιδου, εξηρχετο η Ρεβεκκα, ητις εγεννηθη εις τον Βαθουηλ, υιον της Μελχας, γυναικος του Ναχωρ, αδελφου του Αβρααμ, εχουσα την υδριαν αυτης επι του ωμου αυτης.

And the damsel was very fair to look upon, a virgin, neither had any man known her: and she went down to the well, and filled her pitcher, and came up.

Η δε κορη ητο ωραια την οψιν σφοδρα, παρθενος, και ανηρ δεν ειχε γνωρισει αυτην αφου λοιπον κατεβη εις την πηγην, εγεμισε την υδριαν αυτης και ανεβαινε.

And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Let me, I pray thee, drink a little water of thy pitcher.

Δραμων δε ο δουλος εις συναντησιν αυτης ειπε, Ποτισον με, παρακαλω, ολιγον υδωρ εκ της υδριας σου.

And she said, Drink, my lord: and she hasted, and let down her pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink.

Η δε ειπε, Πιε, κυριε μου και εσπευσε και κατεβιβασε την υδριαν αυτης επι τον βραχιονα αυτης, και εποτισεν αυτον.

And when she had done giving him drink, she said, I will draw water for thy camels also, until they have done drinking.

και αφου επαυσε ποτιζουσα αυτον ειπε, Και δια τας καμηλους σου θελω αντλησει, εωσου πιωσι πασαι.

And she hasted, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again unto the well to draw water, and drew for all his camels.

Και παρευθυς εξεκενωσε την υδριαν αυτης εις την ποτιστραν, και εδραμεν ετι εις το φρεαρ δια να αντληση, και ηντλησε δια πασας τας καμηλους αυτου.

And the man wondering at her held his peace, to wit whether the LORD had made his journey prosperous or not.

Ο δε ανθρωπος, θαυμαζων δι αυτην, εσιωπα, δια να γνωριση αν κατευωδωσεν ο Κυριος την οδον αυτου η ουχι.

And it came to pass, as the camels had done drinking, that the man took a golden earring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hands of ten shekels weight of gold;

Και αφου επαυσαν αι καμηλοι πινουσαι, ελαβεν ο ανθρωπος ενωτια χρυσα βαρους ημισεος σικλου, και δυο βραχιολια δια τας χειρας αυτης, βαρους δεκα σικλων χρυσιου

And said, Whose daughter art thou? tell me, I pray thee: is there room in thy father's house for us to lodge in?

και ειπε, Τινος θυγατηρ εισαι συ; ειπε μοι, παρακαλω ειναι εν τη οικια του πατρος σου τοπος δι ημας προς καταλυμα;

And she said unto him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, which she bare unto Nahor.

Η δε ειπε προς αυτον ειμαι θυγατηρ Βαθουηλ του υιου της Μελχας, τον οποιον εγεννησεν εις τον Ναχωρ.

She said moreover unto him, We have both straw and provender enough, and room to lodge in.

ειπεν ετι προς αυτον, Ειναι εις ημας και αχυρα και τροφη πολλη και τοπος προς καταλυμα.

And the man bowed down his head, and worshipped the LORD.

Τοτε εκλινεν ο ανθρωπος και προσεκυνησε τον Κυριον

And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of my master Abraham, who hath not left destitute my master of his mercy and his truth: I being in the way, the LORD led me to the house of my master's brethren.

και ειπεν, Ευλογητος Κυριος ο Θεος του κυριου μου Αβρααμ, οστις δεν εγκατελιπε το ελεος αυτου και την αληθειαν αυτου απο του κυριου μου ο Κυριος με κατευωδωσεν εις τον οικον των αδελφων του κυριου μου.

And the damsel ran, and told them of her mother's house these things.

Δραμουσα δε η κορη ανηγγειλεν εις τον οικον της μητρος αυτης τα πραγματα ταυτα.

And Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban: and Laban ran out unto the man, unto the well.

Ειχε δε η Ρεβεκκα αδελφον ονομαζομενον Λαβαν και εδραμεν ο Λαβαν προς τον ανθρωπον εξω εις την πηγην.

And it came to pass, when he saw the earring and bracelets upon his sister's hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, Thus spake the man unto me; that he came unto the man; and, behold, he stood by the camels at the well.

Και ως ειδε τα ενωτια και τα βραχιολια εις τας χειρας της αδελφης αυτου, και ως ηκουσε τους λογους Ρεβεκκας της αδελφης αυτου, λεγουσης, Ουτως ελαλησε προς εμε ο ανθρωπος, ηλθε προς τον ανθρωπον και ιδου, ιστατο πλησιον των καμηλων επι της πηγης.

And he said, Come in, thou blessed of the LORD; wherefore standest thou without? for I have prepared the house, and room for the camels.

Και ειπεν, Εισελθε, ευλογημενε του Κυριου δια τι ιστασαι εξω; επειδη εγω ητοιμασα την οικιαν και τοπον δια τας καμηλους.

And the man came into the house: and he ungirded his camels, and gave straw and provender for the camels, and water to wash his feet, and the men's feet that were with him.

Και εισηλθεν ο ανθρωπος εις την οικιαν, και εκεινος εξεφορτωσε τας καμηλους και εδωκεν αχυρα και τροφην εις τας καμηλους και υδωρ δια νιψιμον των ποδων αυτου και των ποδων των ανθρωπων των μετ αυτου.

And there was set meat before him to eat: but he said, I will not eat, until I have told mine errand. And he said, Speak on.

Και παρετεθη εμπροσθεν αυτου φαγητον αυτος ομως ειπε, Δεν θελω φαγει, εωσου λαλησω τον λογον μου. Ο δε ειπε, Λαλησον.

And he said, I am Abraham's servant.

Και ειπεν, Εγω ειμαι δουλος του Αβρααμ.

And the LORD hath blessed my master greatly; and he is become great: and he hath given him flocks, and herds, and silver, and gold, and menservants, and maidservants, and camels, and asses.

Και ο Κυριος ευλογησε τον κυριον μου σφοδρα, και εγεινε μεγας και εδωκεν εις αυτον προβατα και βοας και αργυριον και χρυσιον και δουλους και δουλας και καμηλους και ονους.

And Sarah my master's wife bare a son to my master when she was old: and unto him hath he given all that he hath.

Και εγεννησε Σαρρα, η γυνη του κυριου μου, υιον εις τον κυριον μου, αφου εγηρασε και εδωκεν εις αυτον παντα οσα εχει.

And my master made me swear, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife to my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell:

Και με ωρκισεν ο κυριος μου, λεγων, Δεν θελεις λαβει γυναικα εις τον υιον μου εκ των θυγατερων των Χαναναιων, εις την γην των οποιων εγω κατοικω

But thou shalt go unto my father's house, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son.

αλλ εις τον οικον του πατρος μου θελεις υπαγει και εις την συγγενειαν μου, και θελεις λαβει γυναικα εις τον υιον μου.

And I said unto my master, Peradventure the woman will not follow me.

Και ειπον προς τον κυριον μου, Ισως δεν θεληση η γυνη να με ακολουθηση.

And he said unto me, The LORD, before whom I walk, will send his angel with thee, and prosper thy way; and thou shalt take a wife for my son of my kindred, and of my father's house:

Ο δε ειπε προς εμε, Ο Κυριος, εμπροσθεν του οποιου περιεπατησα, θελει αποστειλει τον αγγελον αυτου μετα σου και θελει κατευοδωσει την οδον σου και θελεις λαβει γυναικα εις τον υιον μου εκ της συγγενειας μου και εκ του οικου του πατρος μου

Then shalt thou be clear from this my oath, when thou comest to my kindred; and if they give not thee one, thou shalt be clear from my oath.

τοτε θελεις εισθαι ελευθερος απο του ορκισμου μου οταν υπαγης προς την συγγενειαν μου και δεν δωσωσιν εις σε, τοτε θελεις εισθαι ελευθερος απο του ορκισμου μου.

And I came this day unto the well, and said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, if now thou do prosper my way which I go:

Και ελθων σημερον εις την πηγην, ειπον, Κυριε ο Θεος του κυριου μου Αβρααμ, κατευοδωσον, δεομαι, την οδον μου, εις την οποιαν εγω υπαγω

Behold, I stand by the well of water; and it shall come to pass, that when the virgin cometh forth to draw water, and I say to her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water of thy pitcher to drink;

ιδου, εγω ισταμαι πλησιον της πηγης του υδατος και η κορη ητις εξερχεται δια να αντληση και προς την οποιαν ειπω, Ποτισον με, παρακαλω, ολιγον υδωρ εκ της υδριας σου,

And she say to me, Both drink thou, and I will also draw for thy camels: let the same be the woman whom the LORD hath appointed out for my master's son.

και αυτη με ειπη, Και συ πιε, και δια τας καμηλους σου ακομη θελω αντλησει, αυτη ας ηναι η γυνη, την οποιαν ητοιμασεν ο Κυριος δια τον υιον του κυριου μου.

And before I had done speaking in mine heart, behold, Rebekah came forth with her pitcher on her shoulder; and she went down unto the well, and drew water: and I said unto her, Let me drink, I pray thee.

Και πριν παυσω λαλων εν τη καρδια μου, ιδου, η Ρεβεκκα εξηρχετο εχουσα την υδριαν αυτης επι του ωμου αυτης και κατεβη εις την πηγην και ηντλησεν ειπον δε προς αυτην, Ποτισον με, παρακαλω.

And she made haste, and let down her pitcher from her shoulder, and said, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: so I drank, and she made the camels drink also.

Η δε εσπευσε και κατεβιβασε την υδριαν αυτης επανωθεν αυτης και ειπε, Πιε, και θελω ποτισει και τας καμηλους σου επιον λοιπον και εποτισε και τας καμηλους.

And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter art thou? And she said, The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bare unto him: and I put the earring upon her face, and the bracelets upon her hands.

Και ηρωτησα αυτην και ειπον, Τινος θυγατηρ εισαι; η δε ειπε, Θυγατηρ του Βαθουηλ, υιου του Ναχωρ, τον οποιον εγεννησεν εις αυτον η Μελχα και περιεθεσα τα ενωτια εις το προσωπον αυτης και τα βραχιολια επι τας χειρας αυτης.

And I bowed down my head, and worshipped the LORD, and blessed the LORD God of my master Abraham, which had led me in the right way to take my master's brother's daughter unto his son.

Και κλινας προσεκυνησα τον Κυριον και ευλογησα Κυριον τον Θεον του κυριον μου Αβρααμ, οστις με κατευωδωσεν εις την αληθινην οδον, δια να λαβω την θυγατερα του αδελφου του κυριου μου εις τον υιον αυτου.

And now if ye will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me: and if not, tell me; that I may turn to the right hand, or to the left.

Τωρα λοιπον, εαν θελητε να καμητε ελεος και αληθειαν προς τον κυριον μου, ειπατε μοι, ει δε μη, ειπατε μοι, δια να στραφω δεξια η αριστερα.

Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing proceedeth from the LORD: we cannot speak unto thee bad or good.

Και αποκριθεντες ο Λαβαν και ο Βαθουηλ, ειπον, Παρα Κυριου εξηλθε το πραγμα ημεις δεν δυναμεθα να σοι ειπωμεν κακον η καλον

Behold, Rebekah is before thee, take her, and go, and let her be thy master's son's wife, as the LORD hath spoken.

ιδου, η Ρεβεκκα εμπροσθεν σου λαβε αυτην και υπαγε και ας ηναι γυνη του υιου του κυριου σου, καθως ελαλησεν ο Κυριος.

And it came to pass, that, when Abraham's servant heard their words, he worshipped the LORD, bowing himself to the earth.

Και οτε ηκουσεν ο δουλος του Αβρααμ τους λογους αυτων, προσεκυνησεν εως εδαφους τον Κυριον.

And the servant brought forth jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment, and gave them to Rebekah: he gave also to her brother and to her mother precious things.

Και εκβαλων ο δουλος σκευη αργυρα και σκευη χρυσα και ενδυματα, εδωκεν εις την Ρεβεκκαν εδωκεν ετι δωρα εις τον αδελφον αυτης και εις την μητερα αυτης.

And they did eat and drink, he and the men that were with him, and tarried all night; and they rose up in the morning, and he said, Send me away unto my master.

Και εφαγον και επιον, αυτος και οι ανθρωποι οι μετ αυτου, και διενυκτερευσαν και αφου εσηκωθησαν το πρωι, ειπεν, Εξαποστειλατε με προς τον κυριον μου.

And her brother and her mother said, Let the damsel abide with us a few days, at the least ten; after that she shall go.

Ειπον δε ο αδελφος αυτης και η μητηρ αυτης, Ας μεινη η κορη μεθ ημων ημερας τινας, τουλαχιστον δεκα μετα ταυτα θελει απελθει.

And he said unto them, Hinder me not, seeing the LORD hath prospered my way; send me away that I may go to my master.

Και ειπε προς αυτους, Μη με κρατειτε, διοτι ο Κυριος κατευωδωσε την οδον μου εξαποστειλατε με να υπαγω προς τον κυριον μου.

And they said, We will call the damsel, and enquire at her mouth.

Οι δε ειπον, Ας καλεσωμεν την κορην και ας ερωτησωμεν την γνωμην αυτης.

And they called Rebekah, and said unto her, Wilt thou go with this man? And she said, I will go.

Και εκαλεσαν την Ρεβεκκαν και ειπον προς αυτην, Υπαγεις μετα του ανθρωπου τουτου; Η δε ειπεν, Υπαγω.

And they sent away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham's servant, and his men.

Και εξαπεστειλαν την Ρεβεκκαν την αδελφην αυτων και την τροφον αυτης, και τον δουλον του Αβρααμ και τους ανθρωπους αυτου

And they blessed Rebekah, and said unto her, Thou art our sister, be thou the mother of thousands of millions, and let thy seed possess the gate of those which hate them.

Και ευλογησαν την Ρεβεκκαν και ειπον προς αυτην, Αδελφη ημων εισαι, ειθε να γεινης εις χιλιαδας μυριαδων, και το σπερμα σου να εξουσιαση τας πυλας των εχθρων αυτου

And Rebekah arose, and her damsels, and they rode upon the camels, and followed the man: and the servant took Rebekah, and went his way.

Και εσηκωθη η Ρεβεκκα και αι θεραπαιναι αυτης, και εκαθισαν επι τας καμηλους, και υπηγον κατοπιν του ανθρωπου και ελαβεν ο δουλος την Ρεβεκκαν και ανεχωρησεν.

And Isaac came from the way of the well Lahai–roi; for he dwelt in the south country.

Ο δε Ισαακ επεστρεφεν απο του φρεατος Λαχαι−ροι διοτι κατωκει εν τη γη της μεσημβριας.

And Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the eventide: and he lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, behold, the camels were coming.

Και εξηλθεν ο Ισαακ να προσευχηθη εν τη πεδιαδι περι το εσπερας και υψωσας τους οφθαλμους αυτου, ειδε, και ιδου, ηρχοντο καμηλοι.

And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she lighted off the camel.

και υψωσασα η Ρεβεκκα τους οφθαλμους αυτης ειδε τον Ισαακ και κατεπηδησεν απο της καμηλου.

For she had said unto the servant, What man is this that walketh in the field to meet us? And the servant had said, It is my master: therefore she took a vail, and covered herself.

Διοτι ειχεν ειπει προς τον δουλον, Τις ειναι ο ανθρωπος εκεινος, ο ερχομενος δια της πεδιαδος εις συναντησιν ημων; Ο δε δουλος ειχεν ειπει, Ειναι ο κυριος μου. Και αυτη λαβουσα την καλυπτραν, εσκεπασθη.

And the servant told Isaac all things that he had done.

Και διηγηθη ο δουλος προς τον Ισαακ παντα οσα ειχε πραξει.

And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her: and Isaac was comforted after his mother's death.

Ο δε Ισαακ εφερεν αυτην εις την σκηνην της μητρος αυτου Σαρρας και ελαβε την Ρεβεκκαν, και εγεινεν αυτου γυνη, και ηγαπησεν αυτην και παρηγορηθη ο Ισαακ περι της μητρος αυτου.
