Genesis 26
1 And there is a famine in the land, besides the first famine which was in the days of Abraham, and Isaac goes to Abimelech king of the Philistines, to Gerar.
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 YHWH appears to him and says, “Do not go down toward Egypt, dwell in the land concerning which I speak to you,
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 sojourn in this land, and I am with you, and bless you, for to you and to your seed I give all these lands, and I have established the oath which I have sworn to your father Abraham;
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 have multiplied your seed as stars of the heavens, and I have given to your seed all these lands; and all nations of the earth have blessed themselves 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 that Abraham has listened to My voice, and keeps My charge, My commands, My statutes, and My laws.”
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 dwells in Gerar;
依撒格就在革辣爾住下了。
7 and men of the place ask him of his wife, and he says, “She [is] my sister”: for he has been afraid to say, “My wife—lest the men of the place kill me for Rebekah, for she [is] of good appearance.”
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 it comes to pass, when the days have been prolonged to him there, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looks through the window, and sees, and behold, Isaac is playing with his wife Rebekah.
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 calls for Isaac and says, “Behold, she [is] surely your wife; and how could you have said, She [is] my sister?” And Isaac says to him, “Because I said, Lest I die for her.”
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 says, “What [is] this you have done to us? As a little thing one of the people had lain with your wife, and you had brought on us guilt”;
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 commands all the people, saying, “He who comes against this man or against his wife, dying does die.”
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 sows in that land, and finds in that year a hundredfold, and YHWH blesses 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 is great, and goes on, going on and becoming great, until he has been very great,
他竟成了富翁，越來越富，終於成了個大富翁，
14 and he has possession of a flock, and possession of a herd, and an abundant service; and the Philistines envy 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 his father’s servants dug in the days of his father Abraham, the Philistines have stopped them, and fill them with dust.
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 says to Isaac, “Go from us; for you have 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 goes from there, and encamps in the Valley of Gerar, and dwells 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 turns back, and digs the wells of water which they dug in the days of his father Abraham, which the Philistines have stopped after the death of Abraham, and he calls to them names according to the names which his father called 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 Isaac’s servants dig in the valley, and find 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 shepherds of Gerar strive with shepherds of Isaac, saying, “The water [is] ours”; and he calls the name of the well “Strife,” because they have striven habitually with 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 they dig another well, and they strive also for it, and he calls its name “Hatred.”
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 removes from there, and digs another well, and they have not striven for it, and he calls its name “Enlargements,” and says, “For—now has YHWH given enlargement to us, and we have been fruitful in the land.”
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 goes up from there [to] Beer-Sheba,
依撒格由那裏上到了貝爾舍巴，
24 and YHWH appears to him during that night and says, “I [am] the God of your father Abraham, do not fear, for I [am] with you, and have blessed you, and have multiplied your seed, because of My servant Abraham”;
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 builds there an altar, and preaches in the Name of YHWH, and stretches out there his tent, and there Isaac’s servants dig a well.
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 has gone to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath his friend, and Phichol head of his host;
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 says to them, “Why have you come to me, and you have hated me, and you send 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 say, “We have certainly seen that YHWH has been with you, and we say, Now let there be an oath between us, between us and you, and let us 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 do no evil with us, as we have not touched you, and as we have only done good with you, and send you away in peace; you [are] now blessed of YHWH.”
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 makes a banquet for them, and they eat and drink,
依撒格遂為他們設宴，大家一齊吃了喝了。
31 and rise early in the morning, and swear to one another, and Isaac sends them away, and they go from him in peace.
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 comes to pass during that day that Isaac’s servants come and declare to him concerning the circumstances of the well which they have dug, and say to him, “We have 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 calls it Shebah, [oath, ] therefore the name of the city [is] Beer-Sheba, [Well of the Oath, ] to 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 is a son of forty years, and he takes a wife, Judith, daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Bashemath, daughter of Elon the Hittite,
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 are a bitterness of spirit to Isaac and to Rebekah.
她們二人使依撒格和黎貝加傷心難受。
