Genesis 26
1 There was a famine in the land, besides the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Philistines, to 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 God appeared to him, and said, "Do not go down into Egypt. Live in the land I will tell you about.
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 Sojourn in this land, and I will be with you, and will bless you. For to you, and to your descendants, I will give all these lands, and I will establish the oath which I swore 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 I will multiply your descendants as the stars of the sky, and will give to your descendants all these lands, and by your descendants will all the nations of the earth 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 requirements, my commandments, my statutes, and my 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 So Isaac settled in Gerar.
以撒就住在基拉耳。
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."
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 It happened, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and look, Isaac was caressing 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 Abimelech called Isaac, and said, "Look, surely she is your wife. Why did you say, 'She is my sister?'" Isaac said to him, "Because I thought, 'Lest I 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 Abimelech said, "What is this you have done to us? One of the people might easily have slept with your wife, and you would have brought guilt on us."
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 Abimelech commanded all the people, saying, "He who touches this man or his wife will surely be put to 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 Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year one hundred times what he planted. And God 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 The man became wealthy, and prospered more and more until he became very wealthy.
他就昌大，日增月盛，成了大富戶。
14 He had possessions of flocks, possessions of herds, and a great household. The Philistines envied him.
他有羊群牛群，又有許多僕人，非利士人就嫉妒他。
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.
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 Abimelech said to Isaac, "Go from us, for you are much mightier 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 Isaac departed from there, camped in the valley of Gerar, and lived there.
以撒就離開那裏，在基拉耳谷支搭帳棚，住在那裏。
18 Isaac dug again the wells which the servants of his father Abraham had dug. For the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham. And he called their names after the names by which his father had called them.
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 Isaac's servants dug in the valley, and found there a well of flowing water.
以撒的僕人在谷中挖井，便得了一口活水井。
20 The herdsmen of Gerar argued with Isaac's herdsmen, saying, "The water is ours." He called the name of the well Esek, because they contended with him.
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 They dug another well, and they argued over that, also. He called its name Sitnah.
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 He left that place, and dug another well. They did not argue over that one. He called it Rehoboth. He said, "For now God has made room for us, and we will be fruitful in 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 He went up from there to Beersheba.
以撒從那裏上別是巴去。
24 And God appeared to him the same night, and said, "I am the God of Abraham your father. Do not be afraid, for I am with you, and will bless you, and multiply your descendants for my servant Abraham's sake."
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 He built an altar there, and called on the name of YHWH, and pitched his tent there. There Isaac's servants dug 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 Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath his friend, and Phicol the commander of his army.
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, since you hate me, and have sent me away from 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 They said, "We saw plainly that God was with you. We said, 'Let there now be an oath between us, even between us and you, and let us make a covenant with you,
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 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 God."
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 He made them a feast, and they ate and drank.
以撒就為他們設擺筵席，他們便吃了喝了。
31 They rose up some time in the morning, and swore an oath to each other. Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace.
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 It happened the same day, that Isaac's servants came, and told him concerning the well which they had dug, and said to him, "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 He called it Shibah. Therefore the name of the city is Beersheba to this 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 When Esau was forty years old, he married Judith, the daughter of Beeri the Hethite, and Basemath, the daughter of Elon the Hethite.
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 They brought grief to Isaac and Rebekah.
她們常使以撒和利百加心裏愁煩。
