Genesis:Chapter 26

創世紀	Genesis
¹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。	¹And when a famine came in the land, after that barrenness which had happened in the days of Abraham, Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Palestines to Gerara.
²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。	²And the Lord appeared to him and said: Go not down into Egypt, but stay in the land that I shall tell thee.
³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；	³And sojourn in it, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee: for to thee and to thy seed I will give all these countries, to fulfill the oath which I swore to Abraham thy father.
⁴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，	⁴And I will multiply thy seed like the stars of heaven: and I will give to thy posterity all these countries: and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed.
⁵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。」	⁵Because Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my precepts and commandments, and observed my ceremonies and laws.
⁶依撒格就在革辣爾住下了。	⁶So Isaac abode in Gerara.
⁷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。	⁷And when he was asked by the men of that place, concerning his wife, he answered: She is my sister; for he was afraid to confess that she was his wife, thinking lest perhaps they would kill him because of her beauty.
⁸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。	⁸And when very many days were passed, and he abode there, Abimelech king of the Palestines looking out through a window, saw him playing with Rebecca his wife.
⁹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。」	⁹And calling for him, he said: It is evident she is thy wife: why didst thou feign her to be thy sister? He answered: I feared lest I should die for her sake.
¹⁰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。」	¹⁰And Abimelech said: Why hast thou deceived us? Some man of the people might have lain with thy wife, and thou hadst brought upon us a great sin. And he commanded all the people, saying:
¹¹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。」	¹¹He that shall touch this man's wife, shall surely be put to death.
¹²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，	¹²And Isaac sowed in that land, and he found that same year a hundredfold: and the Lord blessed him.
¹³他竟成了富翁，越來越富，終於成了個大富翁，	¹³And the man was enriched, and he went on prospering and increasing, till he became exceeding great:
¹⁴擁有羊群、牛群和許多奴僕，因此培肋舍特人都嫉妒他。	¹⁴And he had possessions of sheep and of herds, and a very great family. Wherefore the Palestines envying him,
¹⁵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。	¹⁵Stopped up at that time all the wells, that the servants of his father Abraham had digged, filling them up with earth:
¹⁶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！」	¹⁶Insomuch that Abimelech himself said to Isaac: Depart from us, for thou art become much mightier than we.
¹⁷依撒格遂離開了那裏，在革辣爾山谷中搭了帳幕，住在那裏。	¹⁷So he departed and came to the torrent of Gerara, to dwell there:
¹⁸依撒格將他父親亞巴郎生時所掘的，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。	¹⁸And he digged again other wells, which the servants of his father Abraham had digged, and which, after his death, the Palestines had of old stopped up: and he called them by the same names by which his father before had called them.
¹⁹依撒格的僕人在山谷中掘井時，掘了一口活水井。	¹⁹And they digged in the torrent, and found living water.
²⁰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。	²⁰But there also the herdsmen of Gerara strove against the herdsmen of Isaac, saying: It is our water. Wherefore he called the name of the well, on occasion of that which had happened, Calumny.
²¹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」。	²¹And they digged also another; and for that they quarrelled likewise, and he called the name of it, Enmity.
²²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。」	²²Going forward from thence, he digged another well, for which they contended not: therefore he called the name thereof, Latitude, saying: Now hath the Lord given us room, and made us to increase upon the earth.
²³依撒格由那裏上到了貝爾舍巴，	²³And he went up from that place to Bersabee,
²⁴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。」	²⁴Where the Lord appeared to him that same night, saying: I am the God of Abraham thy father; do not fear, for I am with thee: I will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham's sake.
²⁵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。	²⁵And he built there an altar: and called upon the name of the Lord, and pitched his tent: and commanded his servants to dig a well.
²⁶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。	²⁶To which place when Abimelech, and Ochozath his friend, and Phicol chief captain of his soldiers came from Gerara,
²⁷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？」	²⁷Isaac said to them: Why are ye come to me, a man whom you hate, and have thrust out from you?
²⁸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：	²⁸And they answered: We saw that the Lord is with thee, and therefore we said: Let there be an oath between us, and let us make a covenant,
²⁹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。」	²⁹That thou do us no harm, as we on our part have touched nothing of thine, nor have done any thing to hurt thee: but with peace have sent thee away increased with the blessing of the Lord.
³⁰依撒格遂為他們設宴，大家一齊吃了喝了。	³⁰And he made them a feast, and after they had eaten and drunk:
³¹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。	³¹Arising in the morning, they swore one to another: and Isaac sent them away peaceably to their own home.
³²當天依撒格的僕人來，報告他們掘井的事說：「我們找着了水。」	³²And behold the same day the servants of Isaac came, telling him of a well which they had digged, and saying: We have found water.
³³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」。	³³Whereupon he called it Abundance: and the name of the city was called Bersabee, even to this day.
³⁴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。	³⁴And Esau being forty years old, married wives, Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hethite, and Basemath the daughter of Elon of the same place.
³⁵她們二人使依撒格和黎貝加傷心難受。	³⁵And they both offended the mind of Isaac and Rebecca.
