創世記 26
1 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。
And there came to be a famine in the land, besides the first famine which happened in the days of Abraham, —so Isaac went his way unto Abimelech, king of the Philistines towards Gerar;
2 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。
and Yahweh appeared unto him, and said, do not go down towards Egypt, —Make thy habitation in the land, which I may name unto thee:
3 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。
Sojourn in this land, that I may be with thee and bless thee, —for, to thee, and to thy seed, will I give all these lands, So will I establish the oath which I sware to Abraham thy father;
4 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－
and will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heavens, and will give to thy seed, all these lands, —And all the nations of the earth shall bless themselves in thy seed:
5 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。」
Because that Abraham hearkened unto my voice, —and so kept my charge, my commandments my statutes and my laws.
6 以撒就住在基拉耳。
So Isaac dwelt in Gerar.
7 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。
Then asked the men of the place as to his wife, and he said, My sister, is she, —For he feared to say My wife, lest [said he] the men of the place should slay me on account of Rebekah, for fair to look on, she is.
8 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。
And it came to pass when the days had lengthened out to him there, that Abimelech king of the Philistines, looked out through the lattice of a window, —and he beheld and lo! Isaac—laughing with Rebekah his wife.
9 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。」
So Abimelech called for Isaac, and said, But lo she is, thy wife! How then, saidst thou, She is, my sister? And Isaac said unto him, Because, I said, Lest I die on her account.
10 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。」
Then, said, Abimelech, What is this thou hast done to us? A little more, and one of the people might have lien with thy wife, so shouldst thou have brought upon us, guilt.
11 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。」
And Abimelech commanded all the people saying, —He that toucheth this man or his wife, shall surely be put to death
12 以撒在那地耕種，那一年有百倍的收成。耶和華賜福給他，
And Isaac sowed in that land, and found in the same year, a hundredfold, —seeing that Yahweh had blessed him.
13 他就昌大，日增月盛，成了大富戶。
So the man waxed great, —and went on and on waxing great until that he had waxed exceeding great.
14 他有羊群牛群，又有許多僕人，非利士人就嫉妒他。
So he came to have possessions of flocks and possessions of herds, and a large body of servants, —and the Philistines envied him.
15 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。
And as for all the wells which the servants of his father digged, in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines stopped them up, and filled them with dust.
16 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。」
And Abimelech said unto Isaac, —Get thee from us, for thou hast become far mightier than we.
17 以撒就離開那裏，在基拉耳谷支搭帳棚，住在那裏。
So Isaac went from thence, —and encamped in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there.
18 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。
And Isaac again digged the wells of water which they had digged in the days of Abraham his father, and which the Philistines stopped up after the death of Abraham, —and he called their names, after the names which his father called them.
19 以撒的僕人在谷中挖井，便得了一口活水井。
And Isaac’s servants digged in the valley, —and found there a well of living water.
20 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。
And the herdmen of Gerar disputed with the herdmen of Isaac saying, Ours, is the, water! So he called the name of the well Esek, because they had stirred up a quarrel with him.
21 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。
And they digged another well, and they disputed over that also, —so he called the name thereof Sitnah.
22 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。」
And he moved on from thence and digged another well, and they disputed not for it, —so he called the name thereof. Rehoboth, and said, For, now, hath Yahweh made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.
23 以撒從那裏上別是巴去。
And he went up from thence, to Beer-sheba.
24 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。」
And Yahweh appeared unto him the same night, and said, I, am the God of Abraham thy father, —Do not fear for with thee, am, I, And I will bless thee and multiply thy seed, For the sake of Abraham my servant.
25 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。
So he builded there all altar and called on the name of Yahweh, and spread out there, his tent, —and the servants of Isaac cut out there a well.
26 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。
And, Abimelech, came unto him from Gerar, with Ahuzzath his friend, and Phicol, commander of his host.
27 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？」
And Isaac said unto them, Wherefore have ye come in mite me, seeing that, ye, hated me, and sent me away from you?
28 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，
And they said: We, saw plainly, that Yahweh was with thee, so we said, Let there be we pray thee an oath betwixt us both, betwixt us and thee, —and let us solemnise a covenant with thee: —
29 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。」
That, thou wilt not do wrong by us, according as we touched not thee, and according as we did by thee nothing but good, and then sent thee away in peace, thee who, now, art blessed of Yahweh!
30 以撒就為他們設擺筵席，他們便吃了喝了。
So he made for them a banquet, and they did eat and drink, —
31 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。
and rose up early in the morning, and took an oath each man to his brother, so Isaac let them go, and they departed from him in peace.
32 那一天，以撒的僕人來，將挖井的事告訴他說：「我們得了水了。」
And it came to pass, on the same day, that the servants of Isaac came in, and told him concerning the well which they had digged, and said to him, We have found water!
33 他就給那井起名叫示巴；因此那城叫做別是巴，直到今日。
So he called it, Shibah. For this cause, hath the name of the city, been Beer-sheba, unto this day.
34 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。
And when Esau was forty years old, he took to wife Judith, daughter of Beeri. the Hittite; and Basemath, daughter of Elon, the Hittite;
35 她們常使以撒和利百加心裏愁煩。
and they became a bitterness of spirit, to Isaac and to Rebekah.
