创世记 25-26
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
亚伯拉罕继娶基土拉
25 亚伯拉罕又娶了一妻，名叫基土拉。 2 基土拉给他生了心兰、约珊、米但、米甸、伊施巴和书亚。 3 约珊生了示巴和底但，底但的子孙是亚书利族、利都是族和利乌米族。 4 米甸的儿子是以法、以弗、哈诺、亚比大和以勒大。这都是基土拉的子孙。 5 亚伯拉罕将一切所有的都给了以撒。 6 亚伯拉罕把财物分给他庶出的众子，趁着自己还在世的时候，打发他们离开他的儿子以撒往东方去。
亚伯拉罕寿终
7 亚伯拉罕一生的年日是一百七十五岁。 8 亚伯拉罕寿高年迈，气绝而死，归到他列祖[a]那里。 9 他两个儿子以撒、以实玛利把他埋葬在麦比拉洞里。这洞在幔利前，赫人琐辖的儿子以弗仑的田中， 10 就是亚伯拉罕向赫人买的那块田。亚伯拉罕和他妻子撒拉都葬在那里。 11 亚伯拉罕死了以后，神赐福给他的儿子以撒。以撒靠近庇耳拉海莱居住。
以实玛利之后裔
12 撒拉的使女埃及人夏甲给亚伯拉罕所生的儿子是以实玛利。 13 以实玛利儿子们的名字，按着他们的家谱记在下面。以实玛利的长子是尼拜约，又有基达、亚德别、米比衫、 14 米施玛、度玛、玛撒、 15 哈大、提玛、伊突、拿非施、基底玛。 16 这是以实玛利众子的名字，照着他们的村庄、营寨，做了十二族的族长。 17 以实玛利享寿一百三十七岁，气绝而死，归到他列祖[b]那里。 18 他子孙的住处在他众弟兄东边，从哈腓拉直到埃及前的书珥，正在亚述的道上。
以扫雅各生
19 亚伯拉罕的儿子以撒的后代记在下面。亚伯拉罕生以撒。 20 以撒娶利百加为妻的时候正四十岁，利百加是巴旦亚兰地的亚兰人彼土利的女儿，是亚兰人拉班的妹子。 21 以撒因他妻子不生育，就为她祈求耶和华。耶和华应允他的祈求，他的妻子利百加就怀了孕。 22 孩子们在她腹中彼此相争，她就说：“若是这样，我为什么活着呢[c]？”她就去求问耶和华。 23 耶和华对她说：“两国在你腹内，两族要从你身上出来，这族必强于那族，将来大的要服侍小的。” 24 生产的日子到了，腹中果然是双子。 25 先产的身体发红，浑身有毛，如同皮衣，他们就给他起名叫以扫[d]。 26 随后又生了以扫的兄弟，手抓住以扫的脚跟，因此给他起名叫雅各[e]。利百加生下两个儿子的时候，以撒年正六十岁。
以扫卖长子之分
27 两个孩子渐渐长大，以扫善于打猎，常在田野，雅各为人安静，常住在帐篷里。 28 以撒爱以扫，因为常吃他的野味，利百加却爱雅各。 29 有一天，雅各熬汤，以扫从田野回来累昏了。 30 以扫对雅各说：“我累昏了，求你把这红汤给我喝。”因此以扫又叫以东[f]。 31 雅各说：“你今日把长子的名分卖给我吧。” 32 以扫说：“我将要死，这长子的名分于我有什么益处呢？” 33 雅各说：“你今日对我起誓吧。”以扫就对他起了誓，把长子的名分卖给雅各。 34 于是雅各将饼和红豆汤给了以扫，以扫吃了喝了，便起来走了。这就是以扫轻看了他长子的名分。
以撒居基拉耳
26 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 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 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 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 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。”
受亚比米勒之责
6 以撒就住在基拉耳。 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 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 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 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 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 以撒在那地耕种，那一年有百倍的收成。耶和华赐福给他， 13 他就昌大，日增月盛，成了大富户。 14 他有羊群、牛群，又有许多仆人，非利士人就嫉妒他。 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 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 以撒就离开那里，在基拉耳谷支搭帐篷，住在那里。
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 以撒的仆人在谷中挖井，便得了一口活水井。 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[g]，因为他们和他相争。 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[h]。 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[i]。他说：“耶和华现在给我们宽阔之地，我们必在这地昌盛。”
23 以撒从那里上别是巴去。 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 以撒就在那里筑了一座坛，求告耶和华的名，并且支搭帐篷。他的仆人便在那里挖了一口井。
以撒与亚比米勒结盟
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 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 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 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 以撒就为他们设摆筵席，他们便吃了喝了。 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 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 他就给那井起名叫示巴。因此那城叫做别是巴，直到今日。
以扫娶二妻
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 她们常使以撒和利百加心里愁烦。
Genesis 25-26
King James Version
25 Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah.
2 And she bare him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.
3 And Jokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim.
4 And the sons of Midian; Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abidah, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.
5 And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac.
6 But unto the sons of the concubines, which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, and sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward, unto the east country.
7 And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, an hundred threescore and fifteen years.
8 Then Abraham gave up the ghost, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full of years; and was gathered to his people.
9 And his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which is before Mamre;
10 The field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth: there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife.
11 And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed his son Isaac; and Isaac dwelt by the well Lahairoi.
12 Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, bare unto Abraham:
13 And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations: the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebajoth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,
14 And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,
15 Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah:
16 These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their towns, and by their castles; twelve princes according to their nations.
17 And these are the years of the life of Ishmael, an hundred and thirty and seven years: and he gave up the ghost and died; and was gathered unto his people.
18 And they dwelt from Havilah unto Shur, that is before Egypt, as thou goest toward Assyria: and he died in the presence of all his brethren.
19 And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son: Abraham begat Isaac:
20 And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah to wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padanaram, the sister to Laban the Syrian.
21 And Isaac intreated the Lord for his wife, because she was barren: and the Lord was intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
22 And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? And she went to enquire of the Lord.
23 And the Lord said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger.
24 And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.
25 And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.
26 And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold on Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was threescore years old when she bare them.
27 And the boys grew: and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents.
28 And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison: but Rebekah loved Jacob.
29 And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he was faint:
30 And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red pottage; for I am faint: therefore was his name called Edom.
31 And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright.
32 And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me?
33 And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob.
34 Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised his birthright.
26 And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines unto Gerar.
2 And the Lord appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of:
3 Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father;
4 And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;
5 Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.
6 And Isaac dwelt in Gerar:
7 And the men of the place asked him of his wife; and he said, She is my sister: for he feared to say, She is my wife; lest, said he, the men of the place should kill me for Rebekah; because she was fair to look upon.
8 And it came to pass, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and, behold, Isaac was sporting with Rebekah his wife.
9 And Abimelech called Isaac, and said, Behold, of a surety she is thy wife; and how saidst thou, She is my sister? And Isaac said unto him, Because I said, Lest I die for her.
10 And Abimelech said, What is this thou hast done unto us? one of the people might lightly have lien with thy wife, and thou shouldest have brought guiltiness upon us.
11 And Abimelech charged all his people, saying, He that toucheth this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.
12 Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the Lord blessed him.
13 And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great:
14 For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him.
15 For all the wells which his father's servants had digged in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped them, and filled them with earth.
16 And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us; for thou art much mightier than we.
17 And Isaac departed thence, and pitched his tent in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there.
18 And Isaac digged again the wells of water, which they had digged in the days of Abraham his father; for the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham: and he called their names after the names by which his father had called them.
19 And Isaac's servants digged in the valley, and found there a well of springing water.
20 And the herdmen of Gerar did strive with Isaac's herdmen, saying, The water is ours: and he called the name of the well Esek; because they strove with him.
21 And they digged another well, and strove for that also: and he called the name of it Sitnah.
22 And he removed from thence, and digged another well; and for that they strove not: and he called the name of it Rehoboth; and he said, For now the Lord hath made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.
23 And he went up from thence to Beersheba.
24 And the Lord appeared unto him the same night, and said, I am the God of Abraham thy father: fear not, for I am with thee, and will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham's sake.
25 And he builded an altar there, and called upon the name of the Lord, and pitched his tent there: and there Isaac's servants digged a well.
26 Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath one of his friends, and Phichol the chief captain of his army.
27 And Isaac said unto them, Wherefore come ye to me, seeing ye hate me, and have sent me away from you?
28 And they said, We saw certainly that the Lord was with thee: and we said, Let there be now an oath betwixt us, even betwixt us and thee, and let us make a covenant with thee;
29 That thou wilt do us no hurt, as we have not touched thee, and as we have done unto thee nothing but good, and have sent thee away in peace: thou art now the blessed of the Lord.
30 And he made them a feast, and they did eat and drink.
31 And they rose up betimes in the morning, and sware one to another: and Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace.
32 And it came to pass the same day, that Isaac's servants came, and told him concerning the well which they had digged, and said unto him, We have found water.
33 And he called it Shebah: therefore the name of the city is Beersheba unto this day.
34 And Esau was forty years old when he took to wife Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Bashemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite:
35 Which were a grief of mind unto Isaac and to Rebekah.
Genesis 25-26
English Standard Version
Abraham's Death and His Descendants
25 Abraham took another wife, whose name was Keturah. 2 (A)She bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah. 3 Jokshan fathered Sheba and Dedan. The sons of Dedan were Asshurim, Letushim, and Leummim. 4 The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah. 5 (B)Abraham gave all he had to Isaac. 6 But to the sons of his concubines Abraham gave gifts, and while he was still living he (C)sent them away from his son Isaac, eastward (D)to the east country.
7 These are the days of the years of Abraham's life, 175 years. 8 Abraham (E)breathed his last and (F)died in a good old age, an old man and full of years, and was gathered to his people. 9 Isaac and Ishmael (G)his sons buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, east of Mamre, 10 the field (H)that Abraham purchased from the Hittites. (I)There Abraham was buried, with Sarah his wife. 11 After the death of Abraham, God blessed Isaac his son. And Isaac settled at (J)Beer-lahai-roi.
12 These are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, (K)whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's servant, bore to Abraham. 13 (L)These are the names of the sons of Ishmael, named in the order of their birth: (M)Nebaioth, the firstborn of Ishmael; and (N)Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam, 14 Mishma, Dumah, Massa, 15 Hadad, (O)Tema, (P)Jetur, (Q)Naphish, and Kedemah. 16 These are the sons of Ishmael and these are their names, by their villages and by their encampments, (R)twelve princes according to their tribes. 17 (These are the years of the life of Ishmael: 137 years. He (S)breathed his last and died, and was gathered to his people.) 18 (T)They settled from Havilah to (U)Shur, which is opposite Egypt in the direction of Assyria. He settled[a] over against all his kinsmen.
The Birth of Esau and Jacob
19 These are the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son: (V)Abraham fathered Isaac, 20 and Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah, (W)the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean of (X)Paddan-aram, (Y)the sister of Laban the Aramean, to be his wife. 21 And Isaac prayed to the Lord for his wife, because she was barren. And (Z)the Lord granted his prayer, and Rebekah his wife conceived. 22 The children struggled together within her, and she said, “If it is thus, why is this happening to me?”[b] So she went (AA)to inquire of the Lord. 23 And the Lord said to her,
(AB)“Two nations are in your womb,
and two peoples from within you[c] shall be divided;
(AC)the one shall be stronger than the other,
(AD)the older shall serve the younger.”
24 When her days to give birth were completed, behold, there were twins in her womb. 25 The first came out red, (AE)all his body like a hairy cloak, so they called his name Esau. 26 Afterward his brother came out with (AF)his hand holding Esau's heel, so (AG)his name was called Jacob.[d] Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them.
27 When the boys grew up, Esau was (AH)a skillful hunter, a man of the field, while Jacob was a quiet man, (AI)dwelling in tents. 28 Isaac loved Esau because (AJ)he ate of his game, but Rebekah loved Jacob.
Esau Sells His Birthright
29 Once when Jacob was cooking stew, Esau came in from the field, and he was exhausted. 30 And Esau said to Jacob, “Let me eat some of that red stew, for I am exhausted!” (Therefore his name was called Edom.[e]) 31 Jacob said, “Sell me your birthright now.” 32 Esau said, “I am about to die; of what use is a birthright to me?” 33 Jacob said, “Swear to me now.” So he swore to him and (AK)sold his birthright to Jacob. 34 Then Jacob gave Esau bread and lentil stew, and he ate and drank and rose and went his way. Thus Esau despised his birthright.
God's Promise to Isaac
26 Now there was a famine in the land, besides (AL)the former famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went to Gerar to (AM)Abimelech king of the (AN)Philistines. 2 And the Lord appeared to him and said, “Do not go down to Egypt; dwell (AO)in the land of which I shall tell you. 3 (AP)Sojourn in this land, and (AQ)I will be with you and will bless you, for (AR)to you and to your offspring I will give all these lands, and I will establish (AS)the oath that I swore to Abraham your father. 4 (AT)I will multiply your offspring as the stars of heaven and will give to your offspring all these lands. And (AU)in your offspring all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, 5 because (AV)Abraham obeyed my voice and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.”
Isaac and Abimelech
6 So Isaac settled in Gerar. 7 When the men of the place asked him about his wife, (AW)he said, “She is my sister,” for (AX)he feared to say, “My wife,” thinking, “lest the men of the place should kill me because of Rebekah,” because (AY)she was attractive in appearance. 8 When he had been there a long time, Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out of a window and saw Isaac laughing with[f] Rebekah his wife. 9 So Abimelech called Isaac and said, “Behold, she is your wife. How then could you say, ‘She is my sister’?” Isaac said to him, “Because I thought, ‘Lest I die because of her.’” 10 Abimelech said, “What is this you have done to us? One of the people might easily have lain with your wife, and (AZ)you would have brought guilt upon us.” 11 So Abimelech warned all the people, saying, “Whoever touches this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.”
12 And Isaac sowed in that land and reaped in the same year a hundredfold. The Lord (BA)blessed him, 13 and the man became rich, and gained more and more until he became very wealthy. 14 He had possessions of flocks and herds and many servants, so that the Philistines (BB)envied him. 15 (Now the Philistines had stopped and filled with earth all the wells (BC)that his father's servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father.) 16 And Abimelech said to Isaac, “Go away from us, for you are much mightier than we.”
17 So Isaac departed from there and encamped in the Valley of Gerar and settled there. 18 And Isaac dug again the wells of water that had been dug in the days of Abraham his father, which the Philistines had stopped after the death of Abraham. And (BD)he gave them the names that his father had given them. 19 But when Isaac's servants dug in the valley and found there a well of spring water, 20 the herdsmen of Gerar (BE)quarreled with Isaac's herdsmen, saying, “The water is ours.” So he called the name of the well Esek,[g] because they contended with him. 21 Then they dug another well, and they quarreled over that also, so he called its name Sitnah.[h] 22 And he moved from there and dug another well, and they did not quarrel over it. So he called its name Rehoboth,[i] saying, “For now the Lord has made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.”
23 From there he went up to Beersheba. 24 And the Lord appeared to him the same night and said, (BF)“I am the God of Abraham your father. (BG)Fear not, for (BH)I am with you and will bless you and multiply your offspring for my servant Abraham's sake.” 25 So he (BI)built an altar there and called upon the name of the Lord and pitched his tent there. And there Isaac's servants dug a well.
26 When Abimelech went to him from Gerar with Ahuzzath his adviser and (BJ)Phicol the commander of his army, 27 Isaac said to them, “Why have you come to me, seeing that you hate me and (BK)have sent me away from you?” 28 They said, “We see plainly that the Lord has been with you. So we said, let there be a sworn pact between us, between you and us, and let us make a covenant with you, 29 that you will do us no harm, just as we have not touched you and have done to you nothing but good and have sent you away in peace. (BL)You are now the blessed of the Lord.” 30 So he made them a feast, and they ate and drank. 31 In the morning they rose early and (BM)exchanged oaths. And Isaac sent them on their way, and they departed from him in peace. 32 That same day Isaac's servants came and told him about the well that they had dug and said to him, “We have found water.” 33 He called it Shibah;[j] therefore the name of the city is (BN)Beersheba to this day.
34 When Esau was forty years old, he took (BO)Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite to be his wife, and Basemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite, 35 and (BP)they made life bitter[k] for Isaac and Rebekah.
