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 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 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：「你不要下埃及去，要住在我所指示你的地。

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

5 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 So Isaac settled in Gerar.

6 以撒就住在基拉耳。

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

11 于是亚比米勒晓谕众民说：「凡沾着这个人，或是他妻子的，定要把他治死。」

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

12 以撒在那地耕种，那一年有百倍的收成。耶和华赐福给他，

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

13 他就昌大，日增月盛，成了大富户。

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

14 他有羊群牛群，又有许多仆人，非利士人就嫉妒他。

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 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 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：「你离开我们去吧。因为你比我们强盛得多。」

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

17 以撒就离开那里，在基拉耳谷支搭帐棚，住在那里。

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

19 以撒的仆人在谷中挖井，便得了一口活水井。

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

21 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 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 From there Isaac went up to Beersheba,

23 以撒从那里上别是巴去。

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

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

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

30 以撒就为他们设摆筵席，他们便吃了喝了。

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

33 他就给那井起名叫示巴；因此那城叫做别是巴，直到今日。

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 brought grief to Isaac and Rebekah.

35 她们常使以撒和利百加心里愁烦。
