Genesis 26

1 Now there was another famine in the land, subsequent to the one that had occurred in Abraham’s time. And Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Philistines at Gerar.

1 亚伯拉罕在世的时候，那地方闹过一次饥荒，这时又遭遇饥荒。以撒就迁到基拉耳的非利士王亚比米勒那里。

2 The LORD appeared to Isaac and said, “Do not go down to Egypt. Settle in the land where I tell you.

2 耶和华向以撒显现说：“不要下埃及去，要住在我指示你住的地方。

3 Stay in this land as a foreigner, and I will be with you and bless you. For I will give all these lands to you and your offspring, and I will confirm the oath that I swore to your father Abraham.

3 你寄居在这里，我必与你同在，赐福给你，因为我必把这些土地赐给你和你的后代，坚立我对你父亲亚伯拉罕的誓约。

4 I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky, and I will give them all these lands, and through your offspring all nations of the earth will be blessed,

4 我必使你的后代多如天上的繁星，将这些土地都赐给他们，天下万国必因你的后裔而蒙福。

5 because Abraham listened to My voice and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws.”

5 因为亚伯拉罕听从我的话，遵守我的吩咐、命令、典章和律法。”

6 So Isaac settled in Gerar.

6 于是，以撒就在基拉耳住下来。

7 But when the men of that place asked about his wife, he said, “She is my sister.” For he was afraid to say, “She is my wife,” since he thought to himself, “The men of this place will kill me on account of Rebekah, because she is so beautiful.”

7 那里的人问起他的妻子时，他便说：“她是我妹妹。”他不敢说：“她是我妻子。”他担心当地的人会因为利百加而杀害他，因为利百加长得非常美丽。

8 When Isaac had been there a long time, Abimelech king of the Philistines looked down from the window and was surprised to see Isaac caressing his wife Rebekah.

8 以撒在那里住了许久。一天，非利士王亚比米勒从窗口看见以撒在爱抚利百加，

9 Abimelech sent for Isaac and said, “So she is really your wife! How could you say, ‘She is my sister’?” Isaac replied, “Because I thought I might die on account of her.”

9 便召见以撒，问他：“她明明是你妻子，为什么你说她是你妹妹呢？”以撒回答说：“我担心别人为了她而杀害我！”

10 “What is this you have done to us?” asked Abimelech. “One of the people could easily have slept with your wife, and you would have brought guilt upon us.”

10 亚比米勒说：“你怎么可以这样对我们呢？万一百姓中有人占有了她，你就使我们陷入罪中了。”

11 So Abimelech warned all the people, saying, “Whoever harms this man or his wife will surely be put to death.”

11 于是，亚比米勒下令全国：“凡伤害他们二人的，必被处死。”

12 Now Isaac sowed seed in the land, and that very year he reaped a hundredfold. And the LORD blessed him,

12 以撒在那里耕种，耶和华赐福给他，那一年他得了百倍的收成。

13 and he became richer and richer, until he was exceedingly wealthy.

13 他的财富越来越多，成了大富户。

14 He owned so many flocks and herds and servants that the Philistines envied him.

14 他拥有很多的牛羊和仆婢，非利士人嫉妒他。

15 So the Philistines took dirt and stopped up all the wells that his father’s servants had dug in the days of his father Abraham.

15 他父亲亚伯拉罕生前派人挖的那些水井，全被非利士人用土塞住了。

16 Then Abimelech said to Isaac, “Depart from us, for you are much too powerful for us.”

16 亚比米勒对以撒说：“请你离开我们吧，因为你太强盛了。”

17 So Isaac left that place and encamped in the Valley of Gerar and settled there.

17 以撒就离开那里，把帐篷迁往基拉耳谷居住。

18 Isaac reopened the wells that had been dug in the days of his father Abraham, which the Philistines had stopped up after Abraham died. And he gave these wells the same names his father had given them.

18 他的父亲亚伯拉罕生前挖的水井都被非利士人塞住了，以撒便重新挖开，并沿用父亲生前给那些水井起的名字。

19 Then Isaac’s servants dug in the valley and found a well of fresh water there.

19 以撒的牧人在谷中挖得一口活水井，

20 But the herdsmen of Gerar quarreled with Isaac’s herdsmen and said, “The water is ours!” So he named the well Esek, because they contended with him.

20 基拉耳的牧人与以撒的牧人争吵起来，都说：“这口井是我们的。”于是，以撒便称那口井为埃色 ，因为他们与他相争。

21 Then they dug another well and quarreled over that one also; so he named it Sitnah.

21 后来，以撒的仆人又挖了一口井，他们双方又为那口井发生争执，以撒便称那口井为西提拿 。

22 He moved on from there and dug another well, and they did not quarrel over it. He named it Rehoboth and said, “At last the LORD has made room for us, and we will be fruitful in the land.”

22 以撒离开那里，又挖了一口水井。这次，他们没有为那口井争吵。所以，以撒称那口井为利河伯 。以撒说：“如今耶和华给了我们一个宽阔的地方，我们可以在这里繁荣兴旺。”

23 From there Isaac went up to Beersheba,

23 以撒从那里上别示巴去。

24 and that night the LORD appeared to him and said, “I am the God of your father Abraham. Do not be afraid, for I am with you. I will bless you and multiply your descendants for the sake of My servant Abraham.”

24 当晚，耶和华向他显现说：“我是你父亲亚伯拉罕的上帝。你不要害怕，因为我与你同在。为了我仆人亚伯拉罕的缘故，我必赐福给你，使你人丁兴旺。”

25 So Isaac built an altar there and called on the name of the LORD, and he pitched his tent there. His servants also dug a well there.

25 以撒在那里筑了一座坛求告耶和华的名，并且在那里搭起帐篷住下来。他的仆人又在那里挖了一口井。

26 Later, Abimelech came to Isaac from Gerar, with Ahuzzath his adviser and Phicol the commander of his army.

26 一天，亚比米勒带着他的参谋亚户撒、将领非各从基拉耳来见以撒。

27 “Why have you come to me?” Isaac asked them. “You hated me and sent me away.”

27 以撒说：“你们既然憎恨我，把我赶走，为什么又来找我？”

28 “We can plainly see that the LORD has been with you,” they replied. “We recommend that there should now be an oath between us and you. Let us make a covenant with you

28 他们回答说：“我们清楚知道耶和华与你同在，我们双方应该订立誓约。我们要跟你立约，

29 that you will not harm us, just as we have not harmed you but have done only good to you, sending you on your way in peace. And now you are blessed by the LORD.”

29 使你不伤害我们，就像我们没有侵犯你，总是善待你，让你平安地离开一样。你是蒙耶和华赐福的人。”

30 So Isaac prepared a feast for them, and they ate and drank.

30 于是，以撒为他们摆设宴席，一同吃喝。

31 And they got up early the next morning and swore an oath to each other. Then Isaac sent them on their way, and they left him in peace.

31 第二天早晨，以撒和他们互相起誓之后，送他们平安地离去。

32 On that same day, Isaac’s servants came and told him about the well they had dug. “We have found water!” they told him.

32 当天，以撒的仆人将挖井的事告诉他，说：“我们找到水了。”

33 So he called it Shibah, and to this day the name of the city is Beersheba.

33 以撒便称那口井为示巴 ，因此那城叫别示巴，沿用至今。

34 When Esau was forty years old, he took as his wives Judith daughter of Beeri the Hittite and Basemath daughter of Elon the Hittite.

34 以扫四十岁时，娶了赫人比利的女儿犹蒂与赫人以伦的女儿巴实抹。

35 And they brought grief to Isaac and Rebekah.

35 她们二人常使以撒和利百加伤心。
