AND Isaac having called for Jacob, blessed him, and charged him, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of the Chananites.

ΠΡΟΣΚΑΛΕΣΑΜΕΝΟΣ δὲ ᾿Ισαὰκ τὸν ᾿Ιακὼβ εὐλόγησεν αὐτὸν καὶ ἐνετείλατο αὐτῷ λέγων· οὐ λήψῃ γυναῖκα ἐκ τῶν θυγατέρων τῶν Χαναναίων·

Призва́въ же і҆саа́къ і҆а́кѡва, бл҃гословѝ є҆го̀ и҆ заповѣ́да є҆мꙋ̀, глаго́лѧ: да не по́ймеши жены̀ ѿ дще́рей ханане́йскихъ:

2

Rise and depart quickly into Mesopotamia, to the house of Bathuel the father of thy mother, and take to thyself thence a wife of the daughters of Laban thy mother's brother.

ἀναστὰς ἀπόδραθι εἰς τὴν Μεσοποταμίαν, εἰς τὸν οἶκον Βαθουὴλ τοῦ πατρὸς τῆς μητρός σου καὶ λάβε σεαυτῷ ἐκεῖθεν γυναῖκα ἐκ τῶν θυγατέρων Λάβαν τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ τῆς μητρός σου.

воста́въ ѿбѣжѝ въ месопота́мїю въ до́мъ ваѳꙋи́ла ѻ҆тца̀ ма́тере твоеѧ̀, и҆ поимѝ себѣ̀ ѿтꙋ́дꙋ женꙋ̀ ѿ дще́рей лава́на бра́та ма́тере твоеѧ̀:

3

And may my God bless thee, and increase thee, and multiply thee, and thou shalt become gatherings of nations.

ὁ δὲ Θεός μου εὐλογήσαι σε καὶ αὐξήσαι σε καὶ πληθύναι σε, καὶ ἔσῃ εἰς συναγωγὰς ἐθνῶν·

бг҃ъ же мо́й да блгⷭ҇ви́тъ тѧ̀ и҆ возрасти́тъ тѧ̀ и҆ ᲂу҆мно́житъ тѧ̀, и҆ бꙋ́деши въ собра̑нїѧ ꙗ҆зы́кѡвъ:

4

And may he give thee the blessing of my father Abraam, even to thee and to thy seed after thee, to inherit the land of thy sojourning, which God gave to Abraam.

καὶ δῴη σοι τὴν εὐλογίαν ῾Αβραὰμ τοῦ πατρός μου σοὶ καὶ τῷ σπέρματί σου μετὰ σέ, κληρονομῆσαι τὴν γῆν τῆς παροικήσεώς σου, ἣν ἔδωκεν ὁ Θεὸς τῷ ῾Αβραάμ.

и҆ да да́стъ тебѣ̀ блгⷭ҇ве́нїе а҆враа́ма ѻ҆тца̀ моегѡ̀, тебѣ̀ и҆ сѣ́мени твоемꙋ̀ по тебѣ̀ наслѣ́дити зе́млю ѡ҆бита́нїѧ твоегѡ̀, ю҆́же дадѐ бг҃ъ а҆враа́мꙋ.

5

So Isaac sent away Jacob, and he went into Mesopotamia to Laban the son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebecca the mother of Jacob and Esau.

καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ᾿Ισαὰκ τὸν ᾿Ιακὼβ καὶ ἐπορεύθη εἰς τὴν Μεσσοποταμίαν πρὸς Λάβαν τὸν υἱὸν Βαθουὴλ τοῦ Σύρου, ἀδελφὸν Ρεβέκκας τῆς μητρὸς ᾿Ιακὼβ καὶ ῾Ησαῦ.

Посла́ же і҆саа́къ і҆а́кѡва: и҆ ѿи́де въ месопота́мїю къ лава́нꙋ сы́нꙋ ваѳꙋи́ла сѵ́рїна, къ бра́тꙋ же реве́кки ма́тере і҆а́кѡвли и҆ и҆са́ѵли.

6

And Esau saw that Isaac blessed Jacob, and sent him away to Mesopotamia of Syria as he blessed him, to take to himself a wife thence, and [that] he charged him, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of the Chananites;

Εἶδε δὲ ῾Ησαῦ ὅτι εὐλόγησεν ᾿Ισαὰκ τὸν ᾿Ιακώβ, καὶ ἀπῴχετο εἰς τὴν Μεσοποταμίαν Συρίας λαβεῖν ἑαυτῷ γυναῖκα ἐκεῖθεν ἐν τῷ εὐλογεῖν αὐτὸν καὶ ἐνετείλατο αὐτῷ λέγων· οὐ λήψῃ γυναῖκα ἐκ τῶν θυγατέρων τῶν Χαναναίων,

Ви́дѣ же и҆са́ѵъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ бл҃гословѝ і҆саа́къ і҆а́кѡва и҆ посла̀ въ месопота́мїю сѵ́рскꙋю поѧ́ти ѿтꙋ́дꙋ себѣ̀ женꙋ̀, є҆гда̀ бл҃гословѝ є҆го̀ и҆ заповѣ́да є҆мꙋ̀, глаго́лѧ: да не по́ймеши жены̀ ѿ дще́рей ханане́йскихъ.

7

and [that] Jacob hearkened to his father and his mother, and went to Mesopotamia of Syria.

καὶ ἤκουσεν ᾿Ιακὼβ τοῦ πατρὸς καὶ τῆς μητρὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπορεύθη εἰς τὴν Μεσοποταμίαν Συρίας.

И҆ послꙋ́ша і҆а́кѡвъ ѻ҆тца̀ и҆ ма́тере своеѧ̀, и҆ ѿи́де въ месопота́мїю сѵ́рскꙋю.

8

And Esau also having seen that the daughters of Chanaan were evil before his father Isaac,

ἰδὼν δὲ καὶ ῾Ησαῦ ὅτι πονηραί εἰσιν αἱ θυγατέρες Χαναὰν ἐναντίον ᾿Ισαὰκ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ,

Ви́дѣвъ же и҆са́ѵъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѕлы̑ сꙋ́ть дщє́ри хананє́йскїѧ пред̾ і҆саа́комъ ѻ҆тце́мъ є҆гѡ̀,

9

Esau went to Ismael, and took Maeleth the daughter of Ismael, the son of Abraam, the sister of Nabeoth, a wife in addition to his [other] wives.

ἐπορεύθη ῾Ησαῦ πρὸς ᾿Ισμαὴλ καὶ ἔλαβε τὴν Μαελὲθ θυγατέρα ᾿Ισμαὴλ τοῦ υἱοῦ ῾Αβραάμ, ἀδελφὴν Ναβεώθ, πρὸς ταῖς γυναιξὶν αὐτοῦ γυναῖκα.

ѿи́де и҆са́ѵъ ко і҆сма́илꙋ и҆ взѧ̀ маеле́ѳꙋ дще́рь і҆сма́ила сы́на а҆враа́млѧ, сестрꙋ̀ навеѡ́ѳовꙋ, женꙋ̀ къ жена́мъ свои̑мъ.

10

And Jacob went forth from the well of the oath, and departed into Charrhan.

Καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ᾿Ιακὼβ ἀπὸ τοῦ φρέατος τοῦ ὅρκου καὶ ἐπορεύθη εἰς Χαρράν.

И҆ ѿи́де і҆а́кѡвъ ѿ кла́дѧзѧ клѧ́твеннагѡ и҆ и҆́де въ харра́нъ,

11

And came to a certain place and slept there, for the sun had gone down; and he took [one] of the stones of the place, and put it at his head, and lay down to sleep in that place,

καὶ ἀπήντησε τόπῳ καὶ ἐκοιμήθῃ ἐκεῖ· ἔδυ γὰρ ὁ ἥλιος· καὶ ἔλαβεν ἀπὸ τῶν λίθων τοῦ τόπου, καὶ ἔθηκε πρὸς κεφαλῆς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐκοιμήθη ἐν τῷ τόπῳ ἐκείνῳ.

и҆ ѡ҆брѣ́те мѣ́сто и҆ ᲂу҆́спе та́мѡ, за́йде бо со́лнце: и҆ взѧ̀ ѿ ка́менїѧ мѣ́ста (тогѡ̀) и҆ положѝ въ возгла́вїе себѣ̀, и҆ спа̀ на мѣ́стѣ ѻ҆́нѣмъ.

12

and dreamed, and behold a ladder fixed on the earth, whose top reached to heaven, and the angels of God ascended and descended on it.

καὶ ἐνυπνιάσθη, καὶ ἰδοὺ κλίμαξ ἐστηριγμένη ἐν τῇ γῇ, ἧς ἡ κεφαλὴ ἀφικνεῖτο εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν, καὶ οἱ ἄγγελοι τοῦ Θεοῦ ἀνέβαινον καὶ κατέβαινον ἐπ᾿ αὐτῆς.

И҆ со́нъ ви́дѣ: и҆ сѐ, лѣ́ствица ᲂу҆твержде́на на землѝ, є҆ѧ́же глава̀ досѧза́ше до небесѐ, и҆ а҆́гг҃ли бж҃їи восхожда́хꙋ и҆ низхожда́хꙋ по не́й:

13

And the Lord stood upon it, and said, I am the God of thy father Abraam, and the God of Isaac; fear not, the land on which thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed.

ὁ δὲ Κύριος ἐπεστήρικτο ἐπ᾿ αὐτῆς καὶ εἶπεν· ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ Θεὸς ῾Αβραὰμ τοῦ πατρός σου, καὶ ὁ Θεὸς ᾿Ισαάκ· μὴ φοβοῦ· ἡ γῆ, ἐφ᾿ ἧς σὺ καθεύδεις ἐπ᾿ αὐτῆς, σοὶ δώσω αὐτήν, καὶ τῷ σπέρματί σου.

гдⷭ҇ь же ᲂу҆твержда́шесѧ на не́й и҆ речѐ: а҆́зъ є҆́смь бг҃ъ а҆враа́ма ѻ҆тца̀ твоегѡ̀ и҆ бг҃ъ і҆саа́ка, не бо́йсѧ: землѧ̀, и҆дѣ́же ты̀ спи́ши на не́й, тебѣ̀ да́мъ ю҆̀ и҆ сѣ́мени твоемꙋ̀:

14

And thy seed shall be as the sand of the earth; and it shall spread abroad to the sea, and the south, and the north, and to the east; and in thee and in thy seed shall all the tribes of the earth be blessed.

καὶ ἔσται τὸ σπέρμα σου ὡς ἡ ἄμμος τῆς γῆς καὶ πλατυνθήσεται ἐπὶ θάλασσαν καὶ ἐπὶ λίβα καὶ ἐπὶ βορρᾶν, καὶ ἐπ᾿ ἀνατολάς, καὶ ἐνευλογηθήσονται ἐν σοὶ πᾶσαι αἱ φυλαὶ τῆς γῆς καὶ ἐν τῷ σπέρματί σου.

и҆ бꙋ́детъ сѣ́мѧ твоѐ ꙗ҆́кѡ песо́къ земны́й, и҆ распространи́тсѧ на мо́ре, и҆ лі́вꙋ, и҆ сѣ́веръ, и҆ на восто́ки: и҆ благословѧ́тсѧ ѡ҆ тебѣ̀ всѧ̑ колѣ̑на зємна́ѧ и҆ ѡ҆ сѣ́мени твое́мъ:

15

And behold I am with thee to preserve thee continually in all the way wherein thou shalt go; and I will bring thee back to this land; for I will not desert thee, until I have done all that I have said to thee.

καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐγώ εἰμι μετὰ σοῦ διαφυλάσσων σε ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ πάσῃ, οὗ ἂν πορευθῇς, καὶ ἀποστρέψω σε εἰς τὴν γῆν ταύτην, ὅτι οὐ μή σε ἐγκαταλίπω, ἕως τοῦ ποιῆσαί με πάντα ὅσα ἐλάλησά σοι.

и҆ сѐ, а҆́зъ є҆́смь съ тобо́ю, сохранѧ́ѧй тѧ̀ на всѧ́комъ пꙋтѝ, а҆́може а҆́ще по́йдеши, и҆ возвращꙋ́ тѧ въ зе́млю сїю̀: ꙗ҆́кѡ не и҆́мамъ тебѐ ѡ҆ста́вити, до́ндеже сотвори́ти мѝ всѧ̑, є҆ли̑ка гл҃ахъ тебѣ̀.

16

And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and said, The Lord is in this place, and I knew it not.

καὶ ἐξηγέρθη ᾿Ιακὼβ ἐκ τοῦ ὕπνου αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν· ὅτι ἔστι Κύριος ἐν τῷ τόπῳ τούτῳ, ἐγὼ δὲ οὐκ ᾔδειν.

И҆ воста̀ і҆а́кѡвъ ѿ сна̀ своегѡ̀ и҆ речѐ: ꙗ҆́кѡ є҆́сть гдⷭ҇ь на мѣ́стѣ се́мъ, а҆́зъ же не вѣ́дѣхъ.

17

And he was afraid, and said, How fearful is this place! this is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.

καὶ ἐφοβήθη καὶ εἶπεν· ὡς φοβερὸς ὁ τόπος οὗτος· οὐκ ἔστι τοῦτο ἀλλ᾿ ἢ οἶκος Θεοῦ, καὶ αὕτη ἡ πύλη τοῦ οὐρανοῦ.

И҆ ᲂу҆боѧ́сѧ и҆ речѐ: ꙗ҆́кѡ стра́шно мѣ́сто сїѐ: нѣ́сть сїѐ, но до́мъ бж҃їй, и҆ сїѧ̑ врата̀ нбⷭ҇наѧ.

18

And Jacob rose up in the morning, and took the stone he [had] laid there by his head, and he set it up [as] a pillar, and poured oil on the top of it.

καὶ ἀνέστη ᾿Ιακὼβ τὸ πρωΐ καὶ ἔλαβε τὸν λίθον, ὃν ὑπέθηκεν ἐκεῖ πρὸς κεφαλῆς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔστησεν αὐτὸν στήλην καὶ ἐπέχεεν ἔλαιον ἐπὶ τὸ ἄκρον αὐτῆς.

И҆ воста̀ і҆а́кѡвъ заꙋ́тра, и҆ взѧ̀ ка́мень, є҆го́же положѝ та́мѡ въ возгла́вїе себѣ̀: и҆ поста́ви є҆го̀ въ сто́лпъ, и҆ возлїѧ̀ є҆ле́й верхꙋ̀ є҆гѡ̀.

19

And he called the name of that place, the House of God; and the name of the city before was Ulam-luz.

καὶ ἐκάλεσε τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ τόπου ἐκείνου Οἶκος Θεοῦ· καὶ Οὐλαμλοὺζ ἦν ὄνομα τῇ πόλει τὸ πρότερον.

И҆ прозва̀ і҆а́кѡвъ и҆́мѧ мѣ́стꙋ томꙋ̀ до́мъ бж҃їй: ᲂу҆ламлꙋ́зъ же бѣ̀ и҆́мѧ гра́дꙋ пе́рвѣе.

20

And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If the Lord God will be with me, and guard me throughout on this journey, on which I am going, and give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on,

καὶ ηὔξατο ᾿Ιακὼβ εὐχὴν λέγων· ἐὰν ᾖ Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ καὶ διαφυλάξῃ με ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ ταύτῃ, ᾗ ἐγὼ πορεύομαι, καὶ δῷ μοι ἄρτον φαγεῖν καὶ ἱμάτιον περιβαλέσθαι

И҆ положѝ і҆а́кѡвъ ѡ҆бѣ́тъ, глаго́лѧ: а҆́ще бꙋ́детъ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ со мно́ю и҆ сохрани́тъ мѧ̀ на пꙋтѝ се́мъ, во́ньже а҆́зъ и҆дꙋ̀, и҆ да́стъ мѝ хлѣ́бъ ꙗ҆́сти, и҆ ри̑зы ѡ҆блещи́сѧ,

21

and bring me back in safety to the house of my father, then shall the Lord be for a God to me.

καὶ ἀποστρέψῃ με μετὰ σωτηρίας εἰς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ πατρός μου, καὶ ἔσται Κύριός μοι εἰς Θεόν,

и҆ возврати́тъ мѧ̀ здра́ва въ до́мъ ѻ҆тца̀ моегѡ̀, и҆ бꙋ́детъ гдⷭ҇ь мнѣ̀ въ бг҃а:

22

And this stone, which I have set up for a pillar, shall be to me a house of God; and of all whatsoever thou shalt give me, I will tithe a tenth for thee.

καὶ ὁ λίθος οὗτος, ὃν ἔστησα στήλην, ἔσται μοι οἶκος Θεοῦ, καὶ πάντων, ὧν ἐάν μοι δῷς, δεκάτην ἀποδεκατώσω αὐτά σοι.

и҆ ка́мень се́й, є҆го́же поста́вихъ въ сто́лпъ, бꙋ́детъ мѝ до́мъ бж҃їй, и҆ ѿ всѣ́хъ, ꙗ҆̀же мѝ да́си, десѧти́нꙋ ѡ҆десѧ́тствꙋю та̑ тебѣ̀.
