Genesis 26
1 And there was a famine in the land, besides the former famine, which was in the time of Abraam; and Isaac went to Abimelech the king of the Phylistines to Gerara.
以前，在亞巴郎時代曾有過一次饑荒，現在地上又有了饑荒，依撒格便去了革辣爾，即培肋舍特人王阿彼默肋客那裏。
2 And the Lord appeared to him and said, Go not down to Egypt, but dwell in the land, which I shall tell you of.
上主顯現給他說：「你不要下到埃及去，要住在我指示給你的地方。
3 And sojourn in this land; and I will be with you, and bless you, for I will give to you and to your seed all this land; and I will establish my oath which I swore to your father Abraam.
你要住在這地方，我必與你同在，祝福你，因為我要將這整個地方賜給你和你的後裔，實踐我向你父親亞巴郎所立的誓約；
4 And I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven; and I will give to your seed all this land, and all the nations of the earth shall be blest in your seed.
且要使你的後裔繁多如天上的星辰，要將這一切地方賜給你的後裔，地上萬民要因你的後裔蒙受祝福，
5 Because Abraam your father listened to my voice, and kept my injunctions, and my commandments, and my ordinances, and my statutes.
因為亞巴郎聽從了我的話，遵守了我的訓示、誡命、規定和法律。」
6 And Isaac lived in Gerara.
依撒格就在革辣爾住下了。
7 And the men of the place questioned him concerning Rebecca his wife, and he said, She is my sister, for he feared to say, She is my wife, lest at any time the men of the place should kill him because of Rebecca, because she was fair.
那地方的人問到他的妻子時，他就說：「這是我的妹妹。」他怕說：「這是我的妻子。」恐怕那地方的人為了黎貝加要殺害他，因為她面貌美麗。
8 And he remained there a long time, and Abimelech the king of Gerara leaned to look through the window, and saw Isaac sporting with Rebecca his wife.
他在那裏住了許久；有一天培肋舍特人王阿彼默肋客從窗戶向外眺望，看見依撒格正在愛撫他的妻子黎貝加。
9 And Abimelech called Isaac, and said to him, Is she then your wife? why have you said, She is my sister? And Isaac said to him, [I did so], for I said, Lest at any time I die on her account.
阿彼默肋客遂召依撒格來說：「看，她明明是你的妻子，為什麼你說：她是我的妹妹﹖」依撒格回答說：「因為我怕我可能因她而被殺害。」
10 And Abimelech said to him, Why have you done this to us? one of my kindred within a little had lain with your wife, and you would have brought [a sin of] ignorance upon us.
阿彼默肋客說：「你對我們作的是什麼事﹖差一點百姓中就有人與你妻子同睡，叫我們陷於罪惡。」
11 And Abimelech charged all his people, saying Every man that touches this man and his wife shall be liable to death.
於是阿彼默肋客號令全百姓說：「凡觸犯這人和他妻子的，必死無赦。」
12 And Isaac sowed in that land, and he found in that year barley and hundred-fold, and the Lord blessed him.
依撒格在那地方耕種，當年就得了百倍的收成。上主實在祝福了他，
13 And the man was exalted, and advancing he increased, till he became very great.
他竟成了富翁，越來越富，終於成了個大富翁，
14 And he had cattle of sheep, and cattle of oxen, and many tilled lands, and the Phylistines envied him.
擁有羊群、牛群和許多奴僕，因此培肋舍特人都嫉妒他。
15 And all the wells which the servants of his father had dug in the time of his father, the Phylistines stopped them, and filled them with earth.
那時，凡他父親的僕人，在他父親亞巴郎生時所掘的井，培肋舍特人都用土填了。
16 And Abimelech said to Isaac, Depart from us, for you are become much mightier than we.
阿彼默肋客對依撒格說：「你在我們中太強盛了。你離開我們罷! 」
17 And Isaac departed thence, and rested in the valley of Gerara, and lived there.
依撒格遂離開了那裏，在革辣爾山谷中搭了帳幕，住在那裏。
18 And Isaac dug again the wells of water, which the servants of his father Abraam had dug, and the Phylistines had stopped them, after the death of his father Abraam; and he gave them names, according to the names by which his father named them.
依撒格將他父親生時所掘的，亞巴郎死後培肋舍特人所填的一些水井，又從新掘好，仍照他父親起的名字稱呼這些水井。
19 And the servants of Isaac dug in the valley of Gerara, and they found there a well of living water.
依撒格的僕人在山谷中掘井時，掘了一口活水井。
20 And the shepherds of Gerara strove with the shepherds of Isaac, saying that the water was theirs; and they called the name of the well, Injury, for they injured him.
革辣爾的牧童和依撒格的牧童遂發生了爭論，說：「這水是我們的。」為此他給那井起名叫「爭論，」因為他們曾與他爭論過。
21 And having departed thence he dug another well, and they strove also for that; and he named the name of it, Enmity.
依撒格的僕人又另掘了一口井，為這口井又起了爭論，為此他給這井起名叫「仇恨。」
22 And he departed thence and dug another well; and they did not strive about that; and he named the name of it, Room, saying, Because now the Lord has made room for us, and has increased us upon the earth.
以後，他由那裏遷往別處，又掘了另一口井，為這口井再沒有起爭論，遂給這井起名叫「寬大，」說：「上主終於使我們寬綽，我們將在這地繁盛。」
23 And he went up thence to the well of the oath.
依撒格由那裏上到了貝爾舍巴，
24 And the Lord appeared to him in that night, and said, I am the God of Abraam your father; fear not, for I am with you, and I will bless you, and multiply your seed for the sake of Abraam your father.
那天夜裏上主顯現給他說：「我是你父親亞巴郎的天主，你不要害怕，因為我與你同在，我必要為了我僕人亞巴郎的緣故祝福你，使你的後裔繁盛。」
25 And he built there an altar, and called on the name of the Lord, and there he pitched his tent, and there the servants of Isaac dug a well in the valley of Gerara.
依撒格就在那裏築了一座祭壇，呼求了上主的名；也在那裏搭了帳幕，他的僕人也在那裏掘了一口井。
26 And Abimelech came to him from Gerara, and so did Ochozath his friend, and Phichol the commander-in-chief of his army.
阿彼默肋客和他的摯友阿胡匝特以及他的司令非苛耳，由革辣爾來到了依撒格那裏。
27 And Isaac said to them, Therefore have you come to me? whereas you hated me, and sent me away from you.
他遂對他們說：「你們既然仇恨我，將我由你們中間驅逐，為什麼又來到我這裏﹖」
28 And they said, We have surely seen that the Lord was with you, and we said, Let there be an oath between us and you, and we will make a covenant with you,
他們回答說：「我們實在看出上主與你同在；因此我們想，更好我們雙方彼此宣誓，讓我們與你立約：
29 that you shall do no wrong by us, as we have not abhorred you, and according as we have treated you well, and have sent you forth peaceably; and now you are blessed of the Lord.
你決不加害我們，猶如我們從未觸犯你，只有好待了你，叫你平安離去；如今你實是上主祝福的人。」
30 And he made a feast for them, and they ate and drank.
依撒格遂為他們設宴，大家一齊吃了喝了。
31 And they arose in the morning, and swore each to his neighbour; and Isaac sent them forth, and they departed from him in safety.
次日一早起來，彼此宣了誓。然後依撒格送他們出來，他們遂平安離去。
32 And it came to pass in that day, that the servants of Isaac came and told him of the well which they had dug; and they said, We have not found water.
當天依撒格的僕人來，報告他們掘井的事說：「我們找著了水。」
33 And he called it, Oath: therefore he called the name of that city, the Well of Oath, until this day.
依撒格就給這井起名叫「誓約；」為此，那城直到今日還稱作「誓約井。」
34 And Esau was forty years old; and he took as wife Judith the daughter of Beoch the Chettite, and Basemath, daughter of Helon the Chettite.
厄撒烏到四十歲時，娶了赫特人貝厄黎的女兒友狄特和赫特人厄隆的女兒巴色瑪特為妻。
35 And they were provoking to Isaac and Rebecca.
她們二人使依撒格和黎貝加傷心難受。
