Genesis

1 After these things the word of Yahweh came to Abram in a vision, saying, “Fear not, Abram: I am your shield, and your exceeding great reward.”

1 μετὰ δὲ τὰ ῥήματα ταῦτα ἐγενήθη ῥῆμα κυρίου πρὸς Ἅβραμ ἐν ὁράματι λέγων, μὴ φοβοῦ, Ἅβραμ· ἐγὼ ὑπερασπίζω σου· ὁ μισθός σου πολὺς ἔσται σφόδρα.	1 μετὰ δὲ τὰ ῥήματα ταῦτα ἐγενήθη ῥῆμα Κυρίου πρὸς Ἅβραμ ἐν ὁράματι, λέγων· μὴ φοβοῦ Ἅβραμ, ἐγὼ ὑπερασπίζω σου· ὁ μισθός σου πολὺς ἔσται σφόδρα.
1 And after these things, the word of the Lord came to Habram in a vision, saying, “Don’t fear, Habram, I am shielding you, your reward will be very great.”	1 And after these things, the word of the Lord came to Habram in a vision, saying, “Don’t fear, Habram, I am shielding you, your reward will be very great.”

2 And Abram said, “Adonai Yahweh, what will you give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus?”

2 λέγει δὲ Ἅβραμ, δέσποτα, τί μοι δώσεις; ἐγὼ δὲ ἀπολύομαι ἄτεκνος· ὁ δὲ υἱὸς Μασὲκ τῆς οἰκογενοῦς μου, οὗτος Δαμασκὸς Ἐλιέζερ.	2 λέγει δὲ Ἅβραμ· δέσποτα Κύριε, τί μοι δώσεις; ἐγὼ δὲ ἀπολύομαι ἄτεκνος· ὁ δὲ υἱὸς Μασὲκ τῆς οἰκογενοῦς μου, οὗτος Δαμασκὸς Ἐλιέζερ.
2 And Habram said, “Master, what will you give me? Whereas I am departing childless, but the son of Masek my female home-born, this Eliezer of Damascus.”	2 And Habram said, “Master and Lord, what will you give me? Whereas I am departing childless, but the son of Masek my female home-born, this Eliezer of Damascus.”

3 And Abram said, “Behold, to me you have given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is my heir.”

3 καὶ εἶπεν Ἅβραμ, ἐπειδὴ ἐμοὶ οὐκ ἔδωκας σπέρμα, ὁ δὲ οἰκογενής μου κληρονομήσει με.	3 καὶ εἶπε Ἅβραμ· ἐπειδὴ ἐμοὶ οὐκ ἔδωκας σπέρμα, ὁ δὲ οἰκογενής μου κληρονομήσει μοι.
3 And Habram said, “since you didn’t give me a offspring, my female home-born will become my heir.”	3 And Habram said, “since you didn’t give me a offspring, my female home-born will become my heir.”

4 And, behold, the word of Yahweh came to him, saying, “This shall not be your heir; but he who shall come forth out of your own bowels shall be your heir.”

4 καὶ εὐθὺς φωνὴ κυρίου ἐγένετο πρὸς αὐτὸν λέγων, οὐ κληρονομήσει σὲ οὗτος, ἀλλ’ ὃς ἐξελεύσεται ἐκ σου οὗτος κληρονομήσει σε.	4 καὶ εὐθὺς φωνὴ Κυρίου ἐγένετο πρὸς αὐτὸν λέγουσα· οὐ κληρονομήσει σε οὗτος, ἀλλ’ ὃς ἐξελεύσεται ἐκ σοῦ, οὗτος κληρονομήσει σε.
4 And immediately there was a voice of the Lord to him, saying, “This one won’t be your heir; but he who will come out of you, this one will be your heir.”	4 And immediately there was a voice of the Lord to him, saying, “This one won’t be your heir; but he who will come out of you, this one will be your heir.”

5 And he brought him forth abroad, and said, “Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if you be able to number them; and he said to him, So shall your seed be.”

5 ἐξήγαγεν δὲ αὐτὸν ἔξω καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, ἀνάβλεψον δὴ εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ ἀρίθμησον τοὺς ἀστέρας, εἰ δυνήσῃ ἐξαριθμῆσαι αὐτούς. καὶ εἶπεν, οὕτως ἔσται τὸ σπέρμα σου.	5 ἐξήγαγε δὲ αὐτὸν ἔξω καὶ εἶπε αὐτῷ· ἀνάβλεψον δὴ εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ ἀρίθμησον τοὺς ἀστέρας, εἰ δυνήσῃ ἐξαριθμῆσαι αὐτούς. καὶ εἶπε· οὕτως ἔσται τὸ σπέρμα σου.
5 And he brought him outside and said to him, “Please look up into the sky and count the stars. If you will be able to determine their total number,” and he said, “Thus will be your offspring.”	5 And he brought him outside and said to him, “Please look up into the sky and count the stars. If you will be able to determine their total number,” and he said, “Thus will be your offspring.”

6 And he believed in Yahweh; and he counted it to him for righteousness.

6 καὶ ἐπίστευσεν Ἅβραμ τῷ θεῷ, καὶ ἐλογίσθη αὐτῷ εἰς δικαιοσύνην.	6 καὶ ἐπίστευσεν Ἅβραμ τῷ Θεῷ, καὶ ἐλογίσθη αὐτῷ εἰς δικαιοσύνην.
6 And Habram believed in God, and it was counted to him for righteousness.	6 And Habram believed in God, and it was counted to him for righteousness.

7 And he said to him, “I am Yahweh who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give you this land to inherit it.”

7 εἶπεν δὲ πρὸς αὐτόν, ἐγὼ ὁ θεὸς ὁ ἐξαγαγών σὲ ἐκ χώρας Χαλδαίων ὥστε δοῦναί σοί τὴν γῆν ταύτην κληρονομῆσαι.	7 εἶπε δὲ πρὸς αὐτόν· ἐγὼ ὁ Θεὸς ὁ ἐξαγαγών σε ἐκ χώρας Χαλδαίων, ὥστε δοῦναί σοι τὴν γῆν ταύτην κληρονομῆσαι.
7 And he said to him, “I am Yahweh who brought you out of the country of the Chaldees, so to give you this land to inherit.”	7 And he said to him, “I am God who brought you out of the country of the Chaldeans, so as to give you this land to inherit.”

8 And he said, “Adonai Yahweh, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?”

8 εἶπεν δέ, δέσποτα κύριε, κατὰ τί γνώσομαι ὅτι κληρονομήσω αὐτήν;	8 εἶπε δέ, Δέσποτα Κύριε, κατὰ τί γνώσομαι ὅτι κληρονομήσω αὐτήν;
8 And he said, “Master Lord, how will I know that I wiall inherit it?”	8 And he said, “Master Lord, how will I know that I wiall inherit it?”

9 And he said to him, “Take me a heifer of three years old, and a she goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon.”

9 εἶπεν δὲ αὐτῷ, λαβέ μοι δάμαλιν τριετίζουσαν καὶ αἶγα τριετίζουσαν καὶ κριὸν τριετίζοντα καὶ τρυγόνα καὶ περιστεράν.	9 εἶπε δὲ αὐτῷ· λάβε μοι δάμαλιν τριετίζουσαν καὶ αἶγα τριετίζουσαν καὶ κριὸν τριετίζοντα καὶ τρυγόνα καὶ περιστεράν.
9 And he said to him, “Get me a three-year old heifer, and a three-year old female goat, and a three-year old ram, and a dove and a pigeon.”	9 And he said to him, “Get me a three-year old heifer, and a three-year old female goat, and a three-year old ram, and a dove and a pigeon.”

10 And he took to him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each piece one against another; but he didn’t divide the birds.

10 ἔλαβεν δὲ αὐτῷ πάντα ταῦτα καὶ διεῖλεν αὐτὰ μέσα καὶ ἔθηκεν αὐτὰ ἀντιπρόσωπα ἀλλήλοις, τὰ δὲ ὄρνεα οὐ διεῖλεν.	10 ἔλαβε δὲ αὐτῷ πάντα ταῦτα καὶ διεῖλεν αὐτὰ μέσα καὶ ἔθηκεν αὐτὰ ἀντιπρόσωπα ἀλλήλοις, τὰ δὲ ὄρνεα οὐ διεῖλε.
10 So he got all these, and divided them in the middle, and set them opposite to each other, but he didn’t divide the birds.	10 So he got all these, and divided them in the middle, and set them opposite to each other, but he didn’t divide the birds.

11 And when the fowls came down on the carcasses, Abram drove them away.

11 κατέβη δὲ ὄρνεα ἐπὶ τὰ σώματα, τὰ διχοτομήματα αὐτῶν, καὶ συνεκάθισεν αὐτοῖς Ἅβραμ.	11 κατέβη δὲ ὄρνεα ἐπὶ τὰ σώματα, ἐπὶ τὰ διχοτομήματα αὐτῶν, καὶ συνεκάθισεν αὐτοῖς Ἅβραμ.
11 And birds came down on the bodies, on the divided parts of them, and Habram sat down by them.	11 And birds came down on the bodies, on the divided parts of them, and Habram sat down by them.

12 And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell on Abram; and, lo, a horror of great darkness fell on him.

12 περὶ δὲ ἡλίου δυσμὰς ἔκστασις ἐπέπεσεν τῷ Ἅβραμ, καὶ ἰδοὺ φόβος σκοτεινὸς μέγας ἐπιπίπτει αὐτῷ.	12 περὶ δὲ ἡλίου δυσμὰς ἔκστασις ἐπέπεσε τῷ Ἅβραμ, καὶ ἰδοὺ φόβος σκοτεινὸς μέγας ἐπιπίπτει αὐτῷ.
12 When the sun went down, a trance fell on Habram, and lo! a great dark fear fell on him.	12 When the sun went down, a trance fell on Habram, and lo! a great dark fear fell on him.

13 And he said to Abram, “Know of a surety that your seed shall be a stranger in a land that isn’t theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them 400 years;

13 καὶ ἐρρέθη πρὸς Ἅβραμ, γινώσκων γνώσῃ ὅτι πάροικον ἔσται τὸ σπέρμα σου ἐν γῇ οὐκ ἰδίᾳ, καὶ δουλώσουσιν αὐτοὺς καὶ κακώσουσιν αὐτοὺς καὶ ταπεινώσουσιν αὐτοὺς τετρακόσια ἔτη.	13 καὶ ἐρρέθη πρὸς Ἅβραμ· γινώσκων γνώσῃ ὅτι πάροικον ἔσται τὸ σπέρμα σου ἐν γῇ οὐκ ἰδίᾳ, καὶ δουλώσουσιν αὐτοὺς καὶ κακώσουσιν αὐτοὺς καὶ ταπεινώσουσιν αὐτοὺς τετρακόσια ἔτη.
13 And it was said to Habram, “upon knowing you will know that your offspring will be resident aliens in a land not your own, and they will enslave them, and mistreat them, and humble them 400 years.	13 And it was said to Habram, “upon knowing you will know that your offspring will be resident aliens in a land not your own, and they will enslave them, and mistreat them, and humble them 400 years.

14 And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge; and afterward shall they come out with great substance.

14 τὸ δὲ ἔθνος, ᾧ ἐὰν δουλεύσωσιν, κρινῶ ἐγώ· μετὰ δὲ ταῦτα ἐξελεύσονται ὧδε μετὰ ἀποσκευῆς πολλῆς.	14 τὸ δὲ ἔθνος, ᾧ ἐὰν δουλεύσωσι, κρινῶ ἐγώ· μετὰ δὲ ταῦτα ἐξελεύσονται ὧδε μετὰ ἀποσκευῆς πολλῆς.
14 I will judge the nations which they will serve; but after this they will go out here with much property.	14 I will judge the nations which they will serve; but after this they will go out here with much property.

15 And you shall go to your fathers in peace; you shall be buried in a good old age.

15 σὺ δὲ ἀπελεύσῃ πρὸς τοὺς πατέρας σου μετ’ εἰρήνης, ταφεὶς ἐν γήρει καλῷ.	15 σὺ δὲ ἀπελεύσῃ πρὸς τοὺς πατέρας σου ἐν εἰρήνῃ, τραφείς ἐν γήρᾳ καλῷ.
15 But you will depart to your fathers in peace, buried in a good old age.	15 But you will depart to your fathers in peace, nourished in a good old age.

16 But in the fourth generation they shall come here again; for the iniquity of the Amorites isn’t yet full.”

16 τετάρτη δὲ γενεὰ ἀποστραφήσονται ὧδε· οὔπω γὰρ ἀναπεπλήρωνται αἱ ἁμαρτίαι τῶν Ἀμορραίων ἕως τοῦ νῦν.	16 τετάρτῃ δὲ γενεᾷ ἀποστραφήσονται ὧδε· οὔπω γὰρ ἀναπεπλήρωνται αἱ ἁμαρτίαι τῶν Ἀμορραίων ἕως τοῦ νῦν.
16 And in the fourth generation they shall return here, for the sins of the Amorrites aren’t yet filled up, even until now.”	16 And in the fourth generation they shall return here, for the sins of the Amorrites aren’t yet filled up, even until now.”

17 And it happened, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces.

17 ἐπεὶ δὲ ἐγίνετο ὁ ἥλιος πρὸς δυσμαῖς, φλὸξ ἐγένετο, καὶ ἰδοὺ κλίβανος καπνιζόμενος καὶ λαμπάδες πυρός, αἳ διῆλθον ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν διχοτομημάτων τούτων.	17 ἐπεὶ δὲ ὁ ἥλιος ἐγένετο πρὸς δυσμάς, φλὸξ ἐγένετο, καὶ ἰδοὺ κλίβανος καπνιζόμενος καὶ λαμπάδες πυρός, αἳ διῆλθον ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν διχοτομημάτων τούτων.
17 And when the sun was about to set, there was a flame, and look! a smoking oven and lamps of fire, which passed between these divided pieces.	17 And when the sun was about to set, there was a flame, and look! a smoking oven and lamps of fire, which passed between these divided pieces.

18 In the same day Yahweh made a covenant with Abram, saying, “Unto your seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates.

18 ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ διέθετο κύριος τῷ Ἅβραμ διαθήκην λέγων, τῷ σπέρματί σου δώσω τὴν γῆν ταύτην ἀπὸ τοῦ ποταμοῦ Αἰγύπτου ἕως τοῦ ποταμοῦ τοῦ μεγάλου, ποταμοῦ Εὐφράτου,	18 ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ διέθετο Κύριος τῷ Ἅβραμ διαθήκην λέγων· τῷ σπέρματί σου δώσω τὴν γῆν ταύτην, ἀπὸ τοῦ ποταμοῦ Αἰγύπτου ἕως τοῦ ποταμοῦ τοῦ μεγάλου, ποταμοῦ Εὐφράτου,
