< 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.
在亚伯拉罕的日子,那地有一次饥荒;这时又有饥荒,以撒就往基拉耳去,到非利士人的王亚比米勒那里。
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.
耶和华向以撒显现,说:“你不要下埃及去,要住在我所指示你的地。
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.
你寄居在这地,我必与你同在,赐福给你,因为我要将这些地都赐给你和你的后裔。我必坚定我向你父亚伯拉罕所起的誓。
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.
我要加增你的后裔,像天上的星那样多,又要将这些地都赐给你的后裔。并且地上万国必因你的后裔得福—
5 Because Abraam your father listened to my voice, and kept my injunctions, and my commandments, and my ordinances, and my statutes.
都因亚伯拉罕听从我的话,遵守我的吩咐和我的命令、律例、法度。”
6 And Isaac lived in Gerara.
以撒就住在基拉耳。
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.
那地方的人问到他的妻子,他便说:“那是我的妹子。”原来他怕说:“是我的妻子”;他心里想:“恐怕这地方的人为利百加的缘故杀我”,因为她容貌俊美。
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.
他在那里住了许久。有一天,非利士人的王亚比米勒从窗户里往外观看,见以撒和他的妻子利百加戏玩。
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.
亚比米勒召了以撒来,对他说:“她实在是你的妻子,你怎么说她是你的妹子?”以撒说:“我心里想,恐怕我因她而死。”
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.
亚比米勒说:“你向我们做的是什么事呢?民中险些有人和你的妻同寝,把我们陷在罪里。”
11 And Abimelech charged all his people, saying Every man that touches this man and his wife shall be liable to death.
于是亚比米勒晓谕众民说:“凡沾着这个人,或是他妻子的,定要把他治死。”
12 And Isaac sowed in that land, and he found in that year barley and hundred-fold, and the Lord blessed him.
以撒在那地耕种,那一年有百倍的收成。耶和华赐福给他,
13 And the man was exalted, and advancing he increased, till he became very great.
他就昌大,日增月盛,成了大富户。
14 And he had cattle of sheep, and cattle of oxen, and many tilled lands, and the Phylistines envied him.
他有羊群牛群,又有许多仆人,非利士人就嫉妒他。
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.
当他父亲亚伯拉罕在世的日子,他父亲的仆人所挖的井,非利士人全都塞住,填满了土。
16 And Abimelech said to Isaac, Depart from us, for you are become much mightier than we.
亚比米勒对以撒说:“你离开我们去吧。因为你比我们强盛得多。”
17 And Isaac departed thence, and rested in the valley of Gerara, and lived there.
以撒就离开那里,在基拉耳谷支搭帐棚,住在那里。
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.
当他父亲亚伯拉罕在世之日所挖的水井因非利士人在亚伯拉罕死后塞住了,以撒就重新挖出来,仍照他父亲所叫的叫那些井的名字。
19 And the servants of Isaac dug in the valley of Gerara, and they found there a well of living water.
以撒的仆人在谷中挖井,便得了一口活水井。
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.
基拉耳的牧人与以撒的牧人争竞,说:“这水是我们的。”以撒就给那井起名叫埃色,因为他们和他相争。
21 And having departed thence he dug another well, and they strove also for that; and he named the name of it, Enmity.
以撒的仆人又挖了一口井,他们又为这井争竞,因此以撒给这井起名叫西提拿。
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.
以撒离开那里,又挖了一口井,他们不为这井争竞了,他就给那井起名叫利河伯。他说:“耶和华现在给我们宽阔之地,我们必在这地昌盛。”
23 And he went up thence to the well of the oath.
以撒从那里上别是巴去。
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.
当夜耶和华向他显现,说:“我是你父亲亚伯拉罕的 神,不要惧怕!因为我与你同在,要赐福给你,并要为我仆人亚伯拉罕的缘故,使你的后裔繁多。”
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.
以撒就在那里筑了一座坛,求告耶和华的名,并且支搭帐棚;他的仆人便在那里挖了一口井。
26 And Abimelech came to him from Gerara, and so did Ochozath his friend, and Phichol the commander-in-chief of his army.
亚比米勒,同他的朋友亚户撒和他的军长非各,从基拉耳来见以撒。
27 And Isaac said to them, Therefore have you come to me? whereas you hated me, and sent me away from you.
以撒对他们说:“你们既然恨我,打发我走了,为什么到我这里来呢?”
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,
他们说:“我们明明地看见耶和华与你同在,便说,不如我们两下彼此起誓,彼此立约,
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.
使你不害我们,正如我们未曾害你,一味地厚待你,并且打发你平平安安地走。你是蒙耶和华赐福的了。”
30 And he made a feast for them, and they ate and drank.
以撒就为他们设摆筵席,他们便吃了喝了。
31 And they arose in the morning, and swore each to his neighbor; and Isaac sent them forth, and they departed from him in safety.
他们清早起来彼此起誓。以撒打发他们走,他们就平平安安地离开他走了。
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.
那一天,以撒的仆人来,将挖井的事告诉他说:“我们得了水了。”
33 And he called it, Oath: therefore he called the name of that city, the Well of Oath, until this day.
他就给那井起名叫示巴;因此那城叫做别是巴,直到今日。
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.
以扫四十岁的时候娶了赫人比利的女儿犹滴,与赫人以伦的女儿巴实抹为妻。
35 And they were provoking to Isaac and Rebecca.
她们常使以撒和利百加心里愁烦。
