Genesis 26
1 Then, when a famine arose over the land, after that barrenness which had happened in the days of Abraham, Isaac went to Abimelech, king of the Palestinians, in Gerar.
在亞伯拉罕的日子，那地有一次饑荒；這時又有饑荒，以撒就往基拉耳去，到非利士人的王亞比米勒那裏。
2 And the Lord appeared to him, and he said: “Do not descend into Egypt, but rest in the land that I will tell you,
耶和華向以撒顯現，說：「你不要下埃及去，要住在我所指示你的地。
3 and sojourn in it, and I will be with you, and I will bless you. For to you and to your offspring I will give all these regions, completing the oath that I promised to Abraham your father.
你寄居在這地，我必與你同在，賜福給你，因為我要將這些地都賜給你和你的後裔。我必堅定我向你父亞伯拉罕所起的誓。
4 And I will multiply your offspring like the stars of heaven. And I will give to your posterity all these regions. And in your offspring all the nations of the earth will be blessed,
我要加增你的後裔，像天上的星那樣多，又要將這些地都賜給你的後裔。並且地上萬國必因你的後裔得福－
5 because Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my precepts and commandments, and observed the ceremonies and the laws.”
都因亞伯拉罕聽從我的話，遵守我的吩咐和我的命令、律例、法度。」
6 And so Isaac remained in Gerar.
以撒就住在基拉耳。
7 And when he was questioned by the men of that place about his wife, he answered, “She is my sister.” For he was afraid to confess her to be his mate, thinking that perhaps they would put him to death because of her beauty.
那地方的人問到他的妻子，他便說：「那是我的妹子。」原來他怕說：「是我的妻子」；他心裏想：「恐怕這地方的人為利百加的緣故殺我」，因為她容貌俊美。
8 And when very many days had passed, and he had remained in the same place, Abimelech, king of the Palestinians, gazing through a window, saw him being playful with Rebekah, his wife.
他在那裏住了許久。有一天，非利士人的王亞比米勒從窗戶裏往外觀看，見以撒和他的妻子利百加戲玩。
9 And summoning him, he said: “It is clear that she is your wife. Why did you falsely claim her to be your sister?” He answered, “I was afraid, lest I might die because of her.”
亞比米勒召了以撒來，對他說：「她實在是你的妻子，你怎麼說她是你的妹子？」以撒說：「我心裏想，恐怕我因她而死。」
10 And Abimelech said: “Why have you burdened us? Someone from the people could have lain with your wife, and you would have brought a great sin upon us.” And he instructed all the people, saying,
亞比米勒說：「你向我們做的是甚麼事呢？民中險些有人和你的妻同寢，把我們陷在罪裏。」
11 “Whoever will touch the wife of this man will die a death.”
於是亞比米勒曉諭眾民說：「凡沾着這個人，或是他妻子的，定要把他治死。」
12 Then Isaac sowed in that land, and he found, in that same year, one hundredfold. And the Lord blessed him.
以撒在那地耕種，那一年有百倍的收成。耶和華賜福給他，
13 And the man was enriched, and he continued prospering as well as increasing, until he became very great.
他就昌大，日增月盛，成了大富戶。
14 Likewise, he had possessions of sheep and of herds, and a very large family. Because of this, the Palestinians envied him,
他有羊群牛群，又有許多僕人，非利士人就嫉妒他。
15 so, at that time, they obstructed all the wells that the servants of his father Abraham had dug, filling them with soil.
當他父親亞伯拉罕在世的日子，他父親的僕人所挖的井，非利士人全都塞住，填滿了土。
16 It reached a point where Abimelech himself said to Isaac, “Move away from us, for you have become very much more powerful than we.”
亞比米勒對以撒說：「你離開我們去吧。因為你比我們強盛得多。」
17 And departing, he then went toward the torrent of Gerar, and he dwelt there.
以撒就離開那裏，在基拉耳谷支搭帳棚，住在那裏。
18 Again, he dug up other wells, which the servants of his father Abraham had dug, and which, after his death, the Philistines had formerly obstructed. And he called them by the same names that his father had called them before.
當他父親亞伯拉罕在世之日所挖的水井因非利士人在亞伯拉罕死後塞住了，以撒就重新挖出來，仍照他父親所叫的叫那些井的名字。
19 And they dug in the torrent, and they found living water.
以撒的僕人在谷中挖井，便得了一口活水井。
20 But in that place also the shepherds of Gerar argued against the shepherds of Isaac, by saying, “It is our water.” For this reason, he called the name of the well, because of what had happened, ‘Calumny.’
基拉耳的牧人與以撒的牧人爭競，說：「這水是我們的。」以撒就給那井起名叫埃色，因為他們和他相爭。
21 Then they dug up yet another one. And over that one also they fought, and he called it, ‘Enmity.’
以撒的僕人又挖了一口井，他們又為這井爭競，因此以撒給這井起名叫西提拿。
22 Advancing from there, he dug another well, over which they did not contend. And so he called its name, ‘Latitude,’ saying, “Now the Lord has expanded us and caused us to increase across the land.”
以撒離開那裏，又挖了一口井，他們不為這井爭競了，他就給那井起名叫利河伯。他說：「耶和華現在給我們寬闊之地，我們必在這地昌盛。」
23 Then he ascended from that place into Beersheba,
以撒從那裏上別是巴去。
24 where the Lord appeared to him on the same night, saying: “I am the God of Abraham your father. Do not be afraid, for I am with you. I will bless you, and I will multiply your offspring because of my servant Abraham.”
當夜耶和華向他顯現，說：「我是你父親亞伯拉罕的上帝，不要懼怕！因為我與你同在，要賜福給你，並要為我僕人亞伯拉罕的緣故，使你的後裔繁多。」
25 And so he built an altar there. And he invoked the name of the Lord, and he stretched out his tent. And he instructed his servants to dig a well.
以撒就在那裏築了一座壇，求告耶和華的名，並且支搭帳棚；他的僕人便在那裏挖了一口井。
26 When Abimelech, and Ahuzzath, his friend, and Phicol, the leader of the military, had arrived from Gerar to that place,
亞比米勒，同他的朋友亞戶撒和他的軍長非各，從基拉耳來見以撒。
27 Isaac said to them, “Why have you come to me, a man whom you hate, and whom you have expelled from among you?”
以撒對他們說：「你們既然恨我，打發我走了，為甚麼到我這裏來呢？」
28 And they responded: “We saw that the Lord is with you, and therefore we said: Let there be an oath between us, and let us initiate a pact,
他們說：「我們明明地看見耶和華與你同在，便說，不如我們兩下彼此起誓，彼此立約，
29 so that you may not do us any kind of harm, just as we have touched nothing of yours, and have not caused any injury to you, but with peace we released you, augmented by the blessing of the Lord.”
使你不害我們，正如我們未曾害你，一味地厚待你，並且打發你平平安安地走。你是蒙耶和華賜福的了。」
30 Therefore, he made them a feast, and after the food and drink,
以撒就為他們設擺筵席，他們便吃了喝了。
31 arising in the morning, they swore to one another. And Isaac sent them away peacefully to their own place.
他們清早起來彼此起誓。以撒打發他們走，他們就平平安安地離開他走了。
32 Then, behold, on the same day the servants of Isaac came, reporting to him about a well which they had dug, and saying: “We have found water.”
那一天，以撒的僕人來，將挖井的事告訴他說：「我們得了水了。」
33 Therefore, he called it, ‘Abundance.’ And the name of the city was established as ‘Beersheba,’ even to the present day.
他就給那井起名叫示巴；因此那城叫做別是巴，直到今日。
34 In truth, at forty years of age, Esau took wives: Judith, the daughter of Beeri, the Hittite, and Basemath, the daughter of Elon, of the same place.
以掃四十歲的時候娶了赫人比利的女兒猶滴，與赫人以倫的女兒巴實抹為妻。
35 And they both offended the mind of Isaac and Rebekah.
她們常使以撒和利百加心裏愁煩。
