1 Έγεινε δε πείνα εν τη γη, εκτός της προτέρας πείνης, της γενομένης επί των ημερών του Αβραάμ. Και υπήγεν ο Ισαάκ προς τον Αβιμέλεχ, βασιλέα των Φιλισταίων, εις Γέραρα.
1 Y HUBO hambre en la tierra, además de la primera hambre que fué en los días de Abraham: y fuése Isaac á Abimelech rey de los Filisteos, en Gerar.
1 There was a famine in the land, in addition to the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Philistines, to Gerar.
2 Εφάνη δε εις αυτόν ο Κύριος και είπε, Μη καταβής εις Αίγυπτον· κατοίκησον εν τη γη την οποίαν θέλω σοι ειπεί·
2 Y apareciósele Jehová, y díjole: No desciendas á Egipto: habita en la tierra que yo te diré;
2 Yahweh appeared to him, and said, “Don’t go down into Egypt. Live in the land I will tell you about.
3 παροίκει εν τη γη ταύτη, και εγώ θέλω είσθαι μετά σου, και θέλω σε ευλογήσει διότι εις σε και εις το σπέρμα σου θέλω δώσει πάντας τους τόπους τούτους· και θέλω εκπληρώσει τον όρκον, τον οποίον ώμοσα προς Αβραάμ τον πατέρα σου·
3 Habita en esta tierra, y seré contigo, y te bendeciré; porque á ti y á tu simiente daré todas estas tierras, y confirmaré el juramento que juré á Abraham tu padre:
3 Live in this land, and I will be with you, and will bless you. For I will give to you, and to your offspring, all these lands, and I will establish the oath which I swore to Abraham your father.
4 και θέλω πληθύνει το σπέρμα σου ως τα άστρα του ουρανού, και θέλω δώσει εις το σπέρμα σου πάντας τους τόπους τούτους, και θέλουσιν ευλογηθή εν τω σπέρματί σου πάντα τα έθνη της γής·
4 Y multiplicaré tu simiente como las estrellas del cielo, y daré á tu simiente todas estas tierras; y todas las gentes de la tierra serán benditas en tu simiente:
4 I will multiply your offspring as the stars of the sky, and will give all these lands to your offspring. In your offspring all the nations of the earth will be blessed,
5 επειδή ο Αβραάμ υπήκουσεν εις την φωνήν μου, και εφύλαξε τα προστάγματά μου, τας εντολάς μου, τα διατάγματά μου και τους νόμους μου.
5 Por cuanto oyó Abraham mi voz, y guardó mi precepto, mis mandamientos, mis estatutos y mis leyes.
5 because Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my requirements, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.”
7 Ηρώτησαν δε οι άνδρες του τόπου περί της γυναικός αυτού· και είπεν, Αδελφή μου είναι· διότι εφοβήθη να είπη, Γυνή μου είναι· λέγων, Μήπως με φονεύσωσιν οι άνδρες του τόπου διά την Ρεβέκκαν· επειδή ήτο ώραία την όψιν.
7 Y los hombres de aquel lugar le preguntaron acerca de su mujer; y él respondió: Es mi hermana; porque tuvo miedo de decir: Es mi mujer; que tal vez, [dijo], los hombres del lugar me matarían por causa de Rebeca; porque era de hermoso aspecto.
7 The men of the place asked him about his wife. He said, “She is my sister,” for he was afraid to say, “My wife”, lest, he thought, “the men of the place might kill me for Rebekah, because she is beautiful to look at.”
8 Και αφού διέτριψεν εκεί πολλάς ημέρας, Αβιμέλεχ ο βασιλεύς των Φιλισταίων, κύψας από της θυρίδος είδε, και ιδού, ο Ισαάκ έπαιζε μετά Ρεβέκκας της γυναικός αυτού.
8 Y sucedió que, después que él estuvo allí muchos días, Abimelech, rey de los Filisteos, mirando por una ventana, vió á Isaac que jugaba con Rebeca su mujer.
8 When he had been there a long time, Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and, behold, Isaac was caressing Rebekah, his wife.
9 Εκάλεσε δε ο Αβιμέλεχ τον Ισαάκ και είπεν, Ιδού, βεβαίως γυνή σου είναι αύτη· διά τι λοιπόν είπας, Αδελφή μου είναι; Και είπε προς αυτόν ο Ισαάκ, διότι είπον, Μήπως αποθάνω εξ αιτίας αυτής.
9 Y llamó Abimelech á Isaac, y dijo: He aquí ella es de cierto tu mujer: ¿cómo, pues, dijiste: Es mi hermana? E Isaac le respondió: Porque dije: Quizá moriré por causa de ella.
9 Abimelech called Isaac, and said, “Behold, surely she is your wife. Why did you say, ‘She is my sister’?” Isaac said to him, “Because I said, ‘Lest I die because of her.’”
10 Και είπεν ο Αβιμέλεχ, Τι είναι τούτο, το οποίον έκαμες εις ημάς; παρ' ολίγον ήθελε κοιμηθή τις εκ του λαού μετά της γυναικός σου, και ήθελες φέρει εφ' ημάς ανομίαν.
10 Y Abimelech dijo: ¿Por qué nos has hecho esto? Por poco hubiera dormido alguno del pueblo con tu mujer, y hubieras traído sobre nosotros el pecado.
10 Abimelech said, “What is this you have done to us? One of the people might easily have lain with your wife, and you would have brought guilt on us!”
11 Και προσέταξεν ο Αβιμέλεχ εις πάντα τον λαόν, λέγων, Όστις εγγίση τον άνθρωπον τούτον ή την γυναίκα αυτού, θέλει εξάπαντος θανατωθή.
11 Entonces Abimelech mandó á todo el pueblo, diciendo: El que tocare á este hombre ó á su mujer, de cierto morirá.
11 Abimelech commanded all the people, saying, “He who touches this man or his wife will surely be put to death.”
12 Έσπειρε δε ο Ισαάκ εν τη γη εκείνη και εσύναξε κατ' εκείνον τον χρόνον εκατονταπλάσια· και ευλόγησεν αυτόν ο Κύριος.
12 Y sembró Isaac en aquella tierra, y halló aquel año ciento por uno: y bendíjole Jehová.
12 Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year one hundred times what he planted. Yahweh blessed him.
13 Και εμεγαλύνετο ο άνθρωπος και επροχώρει αυξανόμενος, εωσού έγεινε μέγας σφόδρα·
13 Y el varón se engrandeció, y fué adelantando y engrandeciéndose, hasta hacerse muy poderoso:
13 The man grew great, and grew more and more until he became very great.
14 και απέκτησε πρόβατα και βόας και δούλους πολλούς· εφθόνησαν δε αυτόν οι Φιλισταίοι.
14 Y tuvo hato de ovejas, y hato de vacas, y grande apero; y los Filisteos le tuvieron envidia.
14 He had possessions of flocks, possessions of herds, and a great household. The Philistines envied him.
15 Και πάντα τα φρέατα, τα οποία έσκαψαν οι δούλοι του πατρός αυτού επί των ημερών Αβραάμ του πατρός αυτού, ενέφραξαν ταύτα οι Φιλισταίοι και εγέμισαν αυτά χώμα.
15 Y todos los pozos que habían abierto los criados de Abraham su padre en sus días, los Filisteos los habían cegado y llenado de tierra.
15 Now all the wells which his father’s servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped, and filled with earth.
16 Και είπεν ο Αβιμέλεχ προς τον Ισαάκ, Άπελθε αφ' ημών, διότι έγεινες δυνατώτερος ημών σφόδρα.
16 Y dijo Abimelech á Isaac: Apártate de nosotros, porque mucho más poderoso que nosotros te has hecho.
16 Abimelech said to Isaac, “Go away from us, for you are much mightier than we.”
17 Και απήλθεν εκείθεν ο Ισαάκ και έστησε την σκηνήν αυτού εν τη κοιλάδι των Γεράρων και κατώκησεν εκεί.
17 E Isaac se fué de allí; y asentó sus tiendas en el valle de Gerar, y habitó allí.
17 Isaac departed from there, encamped in the valley of Gerar, and lived there.
18 Και ήνοιξε πάλιν ο Ισαάκ τα φρέατα του ύδατος, τα οποία έσκαψαν επί των ημερών Αβραάμ του πατρός αυτού, οι δε Φιλισταίοι ενέφραξαν αυτά μετά τον θάνατον του Αβραάμ· και ωνόμασεν αυτά κατά τα ονόματα, με τα οποία ο πατήρ αυτού είχεν ονομάσει αυτά.
18 Y volvió á abrir Isaac los pozos de agua que habían abierto en los días de Abraham su padre, y que los Filisteos habían cegado, muerto Abraham; y llamólos por los nombres que su padre los había llamado.
18 Isaac dug again the wells of water, which they had dug in the days of Abraham his father, for the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham. He called their names after the names by which his father had called them.
19 Και έσκαψαν οι δούλοι του Ισαάκ εν τη κοιλάδι και εύρηκαν εκεί φρέαρ ύδατος ζώντος.
19 Y los siervos de Isaac cavaron en el valle, y hallaron allí un pozo de aguas vivas.
19 Isaac’s servants dug in the valley, and found there a well of flowing water.
20 Ελογομάχησαν δε οι ποιμένες των Γεράρων μετά των ποιμένων του Ισαάκ, λέγοντες, Ιδικόν μας είναι το ύδωρ· και ωνόμασε το φρέαρ Εσέκ· διότι εφιλονείκησαν μετ' αυτού.
20 Y los pastores de Gerar riñeron con los pastores de Isaac, diciendo: El agua es nuestra: por eso llamó el nombre del pozo Esek, porque habían altercado con él.
20 The herdsmen of Gerar argued with Isaac’s herdsmen, saying, “The water is ours.” So he called the name of the well Esek, because they contended with him.
21 Και έσκαψαν άλλο φρέαρ και ελογομάχησαν και περί αυτού· διά τούτο ωνόμασεν αυτό Σιτνά.
21 Y abrieron otro pozo, y también riñeron sobre él: y llamó su nombre Sitnah.
21 They dug another well, and they argued over that, also. So he called its name Sitnah.
22 Και μετοικήσας εκείθεν έσκαψεν άλλο φρέαρ, και περί τούτου δεν ελογομάχησαν· και ωνόμασεν αυτό Ρεχωβώθ, λέγων, διότι τώρα επλάτυνεν ημάς ο Κύριος και ηύξησεν ημάς επί της γης.
22 Y apartóse de allí, y abrió otro pozo, y no riñeron sobre él: y llamó su nombre Rehoboth, y dijo: Porque ahora nos ha hecho ensanchar Jehová, y fructificaremos en la tierra.
22 He left that place, and dug another well. They didn’t argue over that one. So he called it Rehoboth. He said, “For now Yahweh has made room for us, and we will be fruitful in the land.”
23 Και εκείθεν ανέβη εις Βηρ-σαβεέ.
23 Y de allí subió á Beer-seba.
23 He went up from there to Beersheba.
24 Και εφάνη εις αυτόν ο Κύριος την νύκτα εκείνην, και είπεν, Εγώ είμαι ο Θεός Αβραάμ του πατρός σου· μη φοβού, διότι εγώ είμαι μετά σου, και θέλω σε ευλογήσει και θέλω πληθύνει το σπέρμα σου, διά Αβραάμ τον δούλον μου.
24 Y apareciósele Jehová aquella noche, y dijo: Yo soy el Dios de Abraham tu padre; no temas, que yo soy contigo, y yo te bendeciré, y multiplicaré tu simiente por amor de Abraham mi siervo.
24 Yahweh appeared to him the same night, and said, “I am the God of Abraham your father. Don’t be afraid, for I am with you, and will bless you, and multiply your offspring for my servant Abraham’s sake.”
25 Και ωκοδόμησεν εκεί θυσιαστήριον και επεκαλέσθη το όνομα του Κυρίου· και έστησεν εκεί την σκηνήν αυτού· έσκαψαν δε εκεί οι δούλοι του Ισαάκ φρέαρ.
25 Y edificó allí un altar, é invocó el nombre de Jehová, y tendió allí su tienda: y abrieron allí los siervos de Isaac un pozo.
25 He built an altar there, and called on Yahweh’s name, and pitched his tent there. There Isaac’s servants dug a well.
26 Τότε ο Αβιμέλεχ υπήγε προς αυτόν από Γεράρων, και Οχοζάθ ο οικείος αυτού, και Φιχόλ ο αρχιστράτηγος της δυνάμεως αυτού.
26 Y Abimelech vino á él desde Gerar, y Ahuzzath, amigo suyo, y Phicol, capitán de su ejército.
26 Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar with Ahuzzath his friend, and Phicol the captain of his army.
27 Και είπε προς αυτούς ο Ισαάκ, Διά τι ήλθετε προς εμέ, αφού σεις με εμισήσατε και με εδιώξατε από σας;
27 Y díjoles Isaac: ¿Por qué venís á mí, pues que me habéis aborrecido, y me echasteis de entre vosotros?
27 Isaac said to them, “Why have you come to me, since you hate me, and have sent me away from you?”
28 οι δε είπον, Είδομεν φανερά, ότι ο Κύριος είναι μετά σου, και είπομεν, Ας γείνη τώρα όρκος μεταξύ ημών, μεταξύ ημών και σου, και ας κάμωμεν συνθήκην μετά σου,
28 Y ellos respondieron: Hemos visto que Jehová es contigo; y dijimos: Haya ahora juramento entre nosotros, entre nosotros y ti, y haremos alianza contigo:
28 They said, “We saw plainly that Yahweh was with you. We said, ‘Let there now be an oath between us, even between us and you, and let’s make a covenant with you,
29 ότι δεν θέλεις κάμει κακόν εις ημάς, καθώς ημείς δεν σε ηγγίσαμεν, και καθώς επράξαμεν εις σε μόνον καλόν, και σε εξαπεστείλαμεν εν ειρήνη· τώρα συ είσαι ευλογημένος του Κυρίου.
29 Que no nos hagas mal, como nosotros no te hemos tocado, y como solamente te hemos hecho bien, y te enviamos en paz: tú ahora, bendito de Jehová.
29 that you will do us no harm, as we have not touched you, and as we have done to you nothing but good, and have sent you away in peace.’ You are now the blessed of Yahweh.”
30 Και έκαμεν εις αυτούς συμπόσιον· και έφαγον και έπιον.
30 Entonces él les hizo banquete, y comieron y bebieron.
30 He made them a feast, and they ate and drank.
31 Και εσηκώθησαν ενωρίς το πρωΐ, και ώμοσεν ο εις προς τον άλλον· τότε ο Ισαάκ εξαπέστειλεν αυτούς, και απήλθον απ' αυτού εν ειρήνη.
31 Y se levantaron de madrugada, y juraron el uno al otro; é Isaac los despidió, y ellos se partieron de él en paz.
31 They rose up some time in the morning, and swore an oath to one another. Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace.
32 Και την ημέραν εκείνην ήλθον οι δούλοι του Ισαάκ και ανήγγειλαν προς αυτόν περί του φρέατος το οποίον έσκαψαν, και είπαν προς αυτόν, Ευρήκαμεν ύδωρ.
32 Y en aquel día sucedió que vinieron los criados de Isaac, y diéronle nuevas acerca del pozo que habían abierto, y le dijeron: Agua hemos hallado.
32 The same day, Isaac’s servants came, and told him concerning the well which they had dug, and said to him, “We have found water.”
33 Και ωνόμασεν αυτό Σαβεέ· διά τούτο είναι το όνομα της πόλεως Βηρ-σαβεέ έως της σήμερον.
33 Y llamólo Seba: por cuya causa el nombre de aquella ciudad es Beer-seba hasta este día.
33 He called it “Shibah”. Therefore the name of the city is “Beersheba” to this day.
34 Ήτο δε ο Ησαύ ετών τεσσαράκοντα, ότε έλαβεν εις γυναίκα Ιουδίθ, την θυγατέρα Βεηρί του Χετταίου, και Βασεμάθ, την θυγατέρα Αιλών του Χετταίου·
34 Y cuando Esaú fué de cuarenta años, tomó por mujer á Judith hija de Beeri Hetheo, y á Basemat hija de Elón Hetheo:
34 When Esau was forty years old, he took as wife Judith, the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Basemath, the daughter of Elon the Hittite.
35 και αύται ήσαν πικρία ψυχής εις τον Ισαάκ και την Ρεβέκκαν.
35 Y fueron amargura de espíritu á Isaac y á Rebeca.
35 They grieved Isaac’s and Rebekah’s spirits.

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
