Genesis 26
1 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;
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 Yahweh appeared unto him, and said, do not go down towards Egypt, —Make thy habitation in the land, which I may name unto thee:
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, 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;
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 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:
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 hearkened unto my voice, —and so kept my charge, my commandments 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 So Isaac dwelt in Gerar.
依撒格就在革辣爾住下了。
7 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 commanded all the people saying, —He that toucheth this man or his wife, shall surely be put 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 found in the same year, a hundredfold, —seeing that Yahweh had 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 So the man waxed great, —and went on and on waxing great until that he had waxed exceeding great.
他竟成了富翁，越來越富，終於成了個大富翁，
14 So he came to have possessions of flocks and possessions of herds, and a large body of servants, —and the Philistines 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 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.
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 unto Isaac, —Get thee from us, for thou hast become far 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 So Isaac went from thence, —and encamped in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt 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 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.
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 digged in the valley, —and 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 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.
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 digged another well, and they disputed over that also, —so he called the name thereof Sitnah.
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 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.
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 from thence, to Beer-sheba.
依撒格由那裏上到了貝爾舍巴，
24 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.
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 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.
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 unto him from Gerar, with Ahuzzath his friend, and Phicol, commander 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 said unto them, Wherefore have ye come in mite me, seeing that, ye, 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, 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: —
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, 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!
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 So he made for them a banquet, and they did eat and drink, —
依撒格遂為他們設宴，大家一齊吃了喝了。
31 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.
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, 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!
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 So he called it, Shibah. For this cause, hath the name of the city, been Beer-sheba, unto 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 when Esau was forty years old, he took to wife Judith, daughter of Beeri. the Hittite; and Basemath, 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 became 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。
