Genesis 21: Douay-Rheims, Vulgata Clementina and Septuagint (Sixtine edition, 1587)
Douay-RheimsVulgata ClementinaSeptuagint (Sixtine edition, 1587)
1And the Lord visited Sara, as he had promised: and fulfilled what he had spoken.Visitavit autem Dominus Saram, sicut promiserat: et implevit quae locutus est.Καὶ Κύριος ἐπεσκέψατο τὴν Σάῤῥαν, καθὰ εἶπε· καὶ ἐποίησε Κύριος τῇ Σάῥῥᾳ, καθὰ ἐλάλησε.
2And she conceived and bore a son in her old age, at the time that God had foretold her.Concepitque et peperit filium in senectute sua, tempore quo praedixerat ei Deus.Καὶ συλλαβοῦσα ἔτεκε τῷ Ἁβραὰμ υἱὸν εἰς τὸ γῆρας, εἰς τὸν καιρὸν καθὰ ἐλάλησεν αὐτῷ Κύριος.
3And Abraham called the name of his son, whom Sara bore him, Isaac.Vocavitque Abraham nomen filii sui, quem genuit ei Sara, Isaac:Καὶ ἐκάλεσεν Ἁβραὰμ τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ τοῦ γενομένου αὐτῷ, ὃν ἔτεκεν αὐτῷ Σάῤῥα, Ἰσαάκ·
4And he circumcised him the eighth day, as God had commanded him,et circumcidit eum octavo die, sicut praeceperat ei Deus,Περιέτεμε δὲ Ἁβραὰμ τὸν Ἰσαὰκ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ὀγδόῃ, καθὰ ἐνετείλατο αὐτῷ ὁ Θεός.
5When he was a hundred years old: for at this age of his father was Isaac born.cum centum esset annorum: hac quippe aetate patris, natus est Isaac.Καὶ Ἁβραὰμ ἦν ἑκατὸν ἐτῶν, ηνίκα ἐγένετο αὐτῷ Ἰσαὰκ ὁ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ.
6And Sara said: God hath made a laughter for me: whosoever shall hear of it will laugh with me.Dixitque Sara: Risum fecit mihi Deus: quicumque audierit, corridebit mihi.Εἶπε δὲ Σάῤῥα, γέλωτά μοι ἐποίησε Κύριος· ὃς γὰρ ἂν ἀκούσῃ συγχαρεῖταί μοι.
7And again she said: Who would believe that Abraham should hear that Sara gave suck to a son, whom she bore to him in his old age.Rursumque ait: Quis auditurus crederet Abraham quod Sara lactaret filium, quem peperit ei iam seni?Καὶ εἶπε τίς ἀναγγελεῖ τῷ Ἁβραὰμ ὅτι θηλάζει παιδίον Σάῤῥα; ὅτι ἔτεκον υἱὸν ἐν τῷ γήρᾳ μου.
8And the child grew and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast on the day of his weaning.Crevit igitur puer, et ablactatus est: fecitque Abraham grande convivium in die ablactationis eius.Καὶ ηὐξήθη τὸ παιδίον, καὶ ἀπεγαλακτίσθη· καὶ ἐποίησεν Ἁβραὰμ δοχὴν μεγάλην, ᾗ ἡμέρᾳ ἀπεκγαλακτίσθη Ἰσαὰκ ὁ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ.
9And when Sara had seen the son of Agar the Egyptian playing with Isaac her son, she said to Abraham:Cumque vidisset Sara filium Agar Aegyptiae ludentem cum Isaac filio suo, dixit ad Abraham:Ἰδοῦσα δὲ Σάῥῥα τὸν υἱὸν Ἄγαρ τῆς Αἰγυπτίας, ὃς ἐγένετο τῷ Ἁβραὰμ, παίζοντα μετὰ Ἰσαὰκ τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτῆς,
10Cast out this bondwoman, and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with my son Isaac.Eiice ancillam hanc, et filium eius: non enim erit haeres filius ancillae cum filio meo Isaac.καὶ εἶπε τῷ Ἁβραὰμ, ἔκβαλε τὴν παιδίσκην ταύτην, καὶ τὸν υἱὸν αὐτῆς· οὐ γὰρ μὴ κληρονομήσει ὁ υἱὸς τῆς παιδίσκης ταύτης μετὰ τοῦ υἱοῦ μου Ἰσαάκ.
11Abraham took this grievously for his son.Dure accepit hoc Abraham pro filio suo.Σκληρὸν δὲ ἐφάνη τὸ ῥῆμα σφόδρα ἐνατίον Ἁβραὰμ περὶ τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ.
12And God said to him: Let it not seem grievous to thee for the boy, and for thy bondwoman: in all that Sara hath said to thee, hearken to her voice: for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.Cui dixit Deus: Non tibi videatur asperum super puero, et super ancilla tua: omnia quae dixerit tibi Sara, audi vocem eius: quia in Isaac vocabitur tibi semen.Εἶπε δὲ ὁ Θεὸς τῷ Ἁβραὰμ, μὴ σκληρὸν ἔστω ἐναντίον σου περὶ τοῦ παιδίου, καὶ περὶ τῆς παιδίσκης· πάντα ὅσα ἂν εἴπῃ σοι Σάῤῥα, ἄκουε τῆς φωνῆς αὐτῆς· ὅτι ἐν Ἰσαὰκ κληθήσεταί σοι σπέρμα.
13But I will make the son also of the bondwoman a great nation, because he is thy seed.Sed et filium ancillae faciam in gentem magnam, quia semen tuum est.Καὶ τὸν υἱὸν δὲ τῆς παιδίσκης ταύτης εἰς ἔθνος μέγα ποιήσω αὐτὸν, ὅτι σπέρμα σόν ἐστιν.
14So Abraham rose up in the morning, and taking bread and a bottle of water, put it upon her shoulder, and delivered the boy, and sent her away. And she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Bersabee.Surrexit itaque Abraham mane, et tollens panem et utrem aquae, imposuit scapulae eius, tradiditque puerum, et dimisit eam. Quae cum abiisset, errabat in solitudine Bersabee.Ἀνέστη δὲ Ἁβραὰμ τὸ πρωῒ, καὶ ἔλαβεν ἄρτους καὶ ἀσκὸν ὕδατος, καὶ ἔδωκεν τῇ Ἄγαρ· καὶ ἐπέθηκεν ἐπὶ τὸν ὦμον αὐτῆς τὸ παιδίον, καὶ ἀπέστειλεν αὐτήν· Ἀπελθοῦσα δὲ ἐπλανᾶτο κατὰ τὴν ἔρημον, κατὰ τὸ φρέαρ τοῦ ὅρκου.
15And when the water in the bottle was spent, she cast the boy under one of the trees that were there.Cumque consumpta esset aqua in utre, abiecit puerum subter unam arborum, quae ibi erant.Ἐξέλιπε δὲ τὸ ὕδωρ ἐκ τοῦ ἀσκου· καὶ ἔῤῥιψε τὸ παιδίον ὑποκάτω μιᾶς ἐλάτης·
16And she went her way, and sat over against him a great way off as far as a bow can carry, for she said: I will not see the boy die: and sitting over against, she lifted up her voice and wept.Et abiit, seditque e regione procul quantum potest arcus iacere: dixit enim: Non videbo morientem puerum: et sedens contra, levavit vocem suam et flevit.Ἀπελθοῦσα δὲ ἐκάθητο ἀπέναντι αὐτοῦ μακρόθεν, ὡσεὶ τόξου βολήν· εἶπε γὰρ, οὐ μὴ ἴδω τὸν θάνατον τοῦ παιδίου μου. καὶ ἐκάθισεν ἀπέναντι αὐτοῦ· ἀναβοῆσαν δὲ τὸ παιδίον ἔκλαυσεν.
17And God heard the voice of the boy: and an angel of God called to Agar from heaven, saying: What art thou doing, Agar? fear not: for God hath heard the voice of the boy, from the place wherein he is.Exaudivit autem Deus vocem pueri: vocavitque angelus Dei Agar de caelo, dicens: Quid agis Agar? noli timere: exaudivit enim Deus vocem pueri de loco in quo est.Εἰσήκουσε δὲ ὁ Θεὸς τῆς φωνῆς τοῦ παιδίου ἐκ τοῦ τόπου οὗ ἦν· καὶ ἐκάλεσεν ἄγγελος Θεοῦ τὴν Ἄγαρ ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ, τί ἐστιν Ἄγαρ; μὴ φοβοῦ· ἐπακήκοε γὰρ ὁ Θεὸς τῆς φωνῆς τοῦ παιδίου ἐκ τοῦ τόπου οὗ ἐστιν.
18Arise, take up the boy, and hold him by the hand: for I will make him a great nation.Surge, tolle puerum, et tene manum illius: quia in gentem magnam faciam eum.Ἀνάστηθι καὶ λάβε τὸ παιδίον, καὶ κράτησον τῇ χειρί σου αὐτό· εἰς γὰρ ἔθνος μέγα ποιήσω αὐτό.
19And God opened her eyes: and she saw a well of water, and went and filled the bottle, and gave the boy to drink.Aperuitque oculos eius Deus: quae videns puteum aquae, abiit, et implevit utrem, deditque puero bibere.Καὶ ἀνέῳξεν ὁ Θεὸς τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτῆς· καὶ εἶδε φρέαρ ὕδατος ζῶντος, καὶ ἐπορεύθη, καὶ ἔπλησε τὸν ἀσκὸν ὕδατος, καὶ ἐπότισε τὸ παιδίον.
20And God was with him: and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became a young man, an archer.Et fuit cum eo: qui crevit, et moratus est in solitudine, factusque est iuvenis sagittarius.Καὶ ἦν ὁ Θεὸς μετὰ τοῦ παιδίου· καὶ ηὐξήθη, καὶ κατῴκησεν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ· ἐγένετο δὲ τοξότης.
21And he dwelt in the wilderness of Pharan, and his mother took a wife for him out of the land of Egypt.Habitavitque in deserto Pharan, et accepit illi mater sua uxorem de terra Aegypti.Καὶ κατῴκησεν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ· καὶ ἔλαβεν αὐτῷ ἡ μήτηρ γυναῖκα ἐκ Φαρὰν Αἰγύπτου.
22At the same time Abimelech, and Phicol the general of his army said to Abraham: God is with thee in all that thou dost.Eodem tempore dixit Abimelech, et Phicol princeps exercitus eius, ad Abraham: Deus tecum est in universis quae agis.Ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ, καὶ εἶπεν Ἀβιμέλεχ, καὶ Ὁχοζὰθ ὁ νυμφαγωγὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ Φιχὸλ ὁ ἀρχιστράτηγος τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτοῦ, πρὸς Ἁβραὰμ, λέγων, ὁ Θεὸς μετὰ σοῦ ἐν πᾶσιν, οἷς ἐὰν ποιῇς.
23Swear therefore by God, that thou wilt not hurt me, nor my posterity, nor my stock: but according to the kindness that I have done to thee, thou shalt do to me, and to the land wherein thou hast lived a stranger.Iura ergo per Deum, ne noceas mihi, et posteris meis, stirpique meae: sed iuxta misericordiam, quam feci tibi, facies mihi, et terrae in qua versatus es advena.Νῦν οὖν ὄμοσόν μοι τὸν Θεὸν μὴ ἀδικήσειν με, μηδὲ τὸ σπέρμα μου, μηδὲ τὸ ὄνομά μου· ἀλλὰ κατὰ τὴν δικαιοσύνην ἣν ἐποίησα μετὰ σοῦ, ποιήσεις μετʼ ἐμοῦ, καὶ τῇ γᾗ, ᾗ σὺ παρῴκησας ἐν αὐτῇ.
24And Abraham said: I will swear.Dixitque Abraham: Ego iurabo.Καὶ εἶπεν Ἁβραὰμ, ἐγὼ ὀμοῦμαι.
25And he reproved Abimelech for a well of water, which his servants had taken away by force.Et increpavit Abimelech propter puteum aquae quem vi abstulerunt servi eius.Καὶ ἤλεγξεν Ἁβραὰμ τὸν Ἀβιμέλεχ περὶ τῶν φρεάτων τοῦ ὕδατος, ὧν ἀφείλοντο οἱ παῖδες τοῦ Ἀβιμέλεχ.
26And Abimelech answered: I knew not who did this thing: and thou didst not tell me, and I heard not of it till today.Responditque Abimelech: Nescivi quis fecerit hanc rem: sed et tu non indicasti mihi, et ego non audivi praeter hodie.Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ἀβιμέλεχ, οὐκ ἔγνων τίς ἐποίησέ σοι τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο· οὐδὲ σύ μοι ἀπήγγειλας, οὐδὲ ἐγὼ ἤκουσα, ἀλλʼ ἢ σήμερον.
27And Abraham took sheep and oxen and gave them to Abimelech: and both of them made a league.Tulit itaque Abraham oves et boves, et dedit Abimelech: percusseruntque ambo foedus.Καὶ ἔλαβεν Ἁβραὰμ πρόβατα καὶ μόσχους, καὶ ἔδωκε τῷ Ἀβιμέλεχ· καὶ διέθεντο ἀμφότεροι διαθήκην.
28And Abraham set apart seven ewe lambs of the flock.Et statuit Abraham septem agnas gregis seorsum.Καὶ ἔστησεν Ἁβραὰμ, ἑπτὰ ἀμνάδας προβάτων μόνας.
29And Abimelech said to him: What mean these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set apart?Cui dixit Abimelech: Quid sibi volunt septem agnae istae, quas stare fecisti seorsum?Καὶ εἶπεν Ἀβιμέλεχ τῷ Ἁβραὰμ, τί εἰσιν αἱ ἑπτὰ ἀμνάδες τῶν προβάτων τούτων, ἃς ἔστησας μόνας;
30But he said: Thou shalt take seven ewe lambs at my hand: that they may be a testimony for me, that I dug this well.At ille: Septem, inquit, agnas accipies de manu mea: ut sint mihi in testimonium, quoniam ego fodi puteum istum.Καὶ εἶπεν Ἁβραὰμ, ὅτι τὰς ἑπτὰ ἀμνάδας λήψῃ παρʼ ἐμοῦ, ἵνα ὦσι μοι εἰς μαρτύριον, ὅτι ἐγὼ ὤρυξα τό φρέαρ τοῦτο.
31Therefore that place was called Bersabee: because there both of them did swear.Idcirco vocatus est locus ille Bersabee: quia ibi uterque iuravit.Διὰ τοῦτο ἐπωνόμασε τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ τόπου ἐκείνου, Φρέαρ ὁρκισμοῦ· ὅτι ἐκεῖ ὤμοσαν ἀμφότεροι.
32And they made a league for the well of oath.Et inierunt foedus pro puteo iuramenti.Καὶ διέθεντο διαθήκην ἐν τῷ φρέατι τοῦ ὁρκισμου· ἀνέστη δὲ Ἀβιμέλεχ, Ὁχοζὰθ ὁ νυμφαγωγὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ Φίχολ ὁ ἀρχιστράτηγος τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπέστρεψαν εἰς τὴν γῆν τῶν Φυλιστιείμ.
33And Abimelech, and Phicol the general of his army arose and returned to the land of the Palestines. But Abraham planted a grove in Bersabee, and there called upon the name of the Lord God eternal.Surrexit autem Abimelech, et Phicol princeps exercitus eius, reversique sunt in terram Palaestinorum. Abraham vero plantavit nemus in Bersabee, et invocavit ibi nomen Domini Dei aeterni.Καὶ ἐφύτευσεν Ἁβραὰμ ἄρουραν ἐπὶ τῷ φρέατι τοῦ ὅρκου· καὶ ἐπεκαλέσατο ἐκεῖ τὸ ὄνομα Κυρίου, Θεὸς αἰώνιος.
34And he was a sojourner in the land of the Palestines many days.Et fuit colonus terrae Palaestinorum diebus multis.Παρῴκησε δὲ Ἁβραὰμ ἐν τῇ γῇ τῶν Φυλιστιεὶμ ἡμέρας πολλάς.

Jesus laments over Jerusalem, which kills the prophets

The same day, there came some of the Pharisees, saying to him: Depart, and get thee hence, for Herod hath a mind to kill thee. And he said to them: Go and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and do cures today and…
