创世记 26
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
以撒與亞比米勒
26 從前在亞伯拉罕的時候，曾經有過一次饑荒，現在那地又有饑荒，以撒就到基拉耳去，到非利士人的王亞比米勒那裡。 2 耶和華向以撒顯現，說：“你不要下到埃及去，要住在我所指示你的地方。 3 你要寄居在這地，我必與你同在，必賜福給你，因為我要把這全地都賜給你和你的後裔，履行我向你父親亞伯拉罕所起的誓。 4 我必使你的後裔增多，好像天上的星那樣多；我必把這全地都賜給你的後裔；地上的萬國都必因你的後裔得福。 5 這是因為亞伯拉罕聽從了我的話，遵守了我的吩咐、我的命令、我的條例和我的律法。” 6 於是，以撒就住在基拉耳。 7 那地方的人問起他的妻子，他就回答：“她是我的妹妹。”因為他不敢說：“她是我的妻子。”他心裡想：“恐怕這地方的人，因利百加的緣故把我殺了，因為她容貌美麗。” 8 以撒在那裡住了很久。有一天，非利士人的王亞比米勒從窗戶裡向外觀望，看見以撒正在愛撫他的妻子利百加。 9 亞比米勒於是把以撒召了來，對他說：“你看，她實在是你的妻子，你怎麼說是你的妹妹呢？”以撒回答他：“因為我心裡想：‘恐怕我因她的緣故喪命。’” 10 亞比米勒說：“你向我們作的是甚麼事呢？人民中間險些有人與你的妻子同睡，那你就把我們陷在罪惡裡了。” 11 於是，亞比米勒吩咐全國人民，說：“凡是觸犯這人或是他的妻子的，必被處死。”
12 以撒在那裡耕種，那一年豐收百倍，耶和華實在賜福給他。 13 他就日漸昌大，越來越富有，成了個大富翁。 14 他擁有羊群、牛群和很多僕人，非利士人就嫉妒他。 15 他父親亞伯拉罕在世的時候，所有由他父親僕人挖的井，非利士人都塞住了，填滿了土。 16 亞比米勒對以撒說：“你離開我們去吧，因為你比我們強大得多了。” 17 以撒於是離開那裡，在基拉耳谷支搭帳棚，住在那裡。
18 他父親亞伯拉罕在世的時候，僕人所挖的水井，在亞伯拉罕死後都被非利士人塞住了。以撒重新挖掘這些井，仍然照著他父親所起的名字叫它們。 19 以撒的僕人在山谷裡挖井，在那裡挖得一口活水井。 20 基拉耳的牧人與以撒的牧人爭鬧起來，說：“這水是我們的。”以撒就給那井起名叫埃色，因為他們與他相爭。 21 以撒的僕人又挖了另一口井，他們又為這井爭鬧起來，因此以撒給這井起名叫西提拿。 22 以撒離開那裡，又挖了另一口井；他們不再為這井爭鬧了，他就給那井起名利河伯，因為他說：“現在耶和華給我們寬闊的地方，我們必在這裡繁盛起來了。”
23 以撒從那裡上到別是巴去。 24 那天晚上，耶和華向他顯現，說：
“我是你父親亞伯拉罕的 神；
你不要怕，因為我與你同在；
我必為了我僕人亞伯拉罕的緣故，
賜福給你，使你的後裔增多。”
25 以撒就在那裡築了一座祭壇，呼求耶和華的名；又在那裡支搭帳棚；以撒的僕人也在那裡挖了一口井。
以撒與亞比米勒立約
26 亞比米勒和他的朋友亞戶撒，以及他的軍長非各，從基拉耳來到以撒那裡。 27 以撒問他們：“你們既然恨我，把我從你們中間趕出來，為甚麼又到我這裡來呢？” 28 他們回答：“我們實在看見耶和華與你同在，因此我們想：‘不如我們雙方起誓。’讓我們與你立約吧； 29 你不要傷害我們，正如我們從來沒有觸犯你，只有善待你，讓你平平安安地離開。現在你是蒙耶和華賜福的了。” 30 以撒就為他們擺設筵席，他們就一起吃喝。 31 第二天，他們清早起來，彼此起誓；以撒就送他們走，他們平平安安地離開他走了。 32 那一天，以撒的僕人來把他們挖井的事告訴他，說：“我們找到水了。” 33 以撒就給那井起名叫示巴，因此那城名叫別是巴，直到今日。
以掃娶二妻
34 以掃四十歲的時候，娶了赫人比利的女兒猶滴，和赫人以倫的女兒巴實抹為妻。 35 她們二人常使以撒和利百加傷心難過。
Genesis 26

The Promise Reaffirmed to Isaac
26 There was another famine in the land in addition to the one that had occurred in Abraham’s time.(A) And Isaac went to Abimelech, king of the Philistines, at Gerar.(B) 2 The Lord appeared to him and said, “Do not go down to Egypt. Live in the land that I tell you about; 3 stay in this land as a foreigner, and I will be with you and bless you.(C) For I will give all these lands to you and your offspring,(D) and I will confirm the oath that I swore to your father Abraham.(E) 4 I will make your offspring as numerous as the stars of the sky, I will give your offspring all these lands, and all the nations of the earth will be blessed[a] by your offspring,(F) 5 because Abraham listened to My voice and kept My mandate, My commands, My statutes, and My instructions.”(G) 6 So Isaac settled in Gerar.
Isaac’s Deception
7 When the men of the place asked about his wife, he said, “She is my sister,”(H) for he was afraid to say “my wife,” thinking,(I) “The men of the place will kill me on account of Rebekah, for she is a beautiful woman.”(J) 8 When Isaac had been there for some time, Abimelech king of the Philistines looked down from the window and was surprised to see[b] Isaac caressing his wife Rebekah.
9 Abimelech sent for Isaac and said, “So she is really your wife! How could you say, ‘She is my sister’?”
Isaac answered him, “Because I thought I might die on account of her.”
10 Then Abimelech said, “What is this you’ve done to us? One of the people could easily have slept with your wife, and you would have brought guilt on us.”(K) 11 So Abimelech warned all the people with these words: “Whoever harms this man or his wife will certainly die.”
Conflicts over Wells
12 Isaac sowed seed in that land, and in that year he reaped[c] a hundred times what was sown. The Lord blessed him,(L) 13 and the man became rich and kept getting richer until he was very wealthy. 14 He had flocks of sheep, herds of cattle, and many slaves, and the Philistines were envious of him. 15 The Philistines stopped up all the wells that his father’s slaves had dug in the days of his father Abraham,(M) filling them with dirt. 16 And Abimelech said to Isaac, “Leave us, for you are much too powerful for us.”[d]
17 So Isaac left there, camped in the Valley of Gerar, and lived there. 18 Isaac reopened the water wells that had been dug in the days of his father Abraham and that the Philistines had stopped up after Abraham died. He gave them the same names his father had given them. 19 Then Isaac’s slaves dug in the valley and found a well of spring[e] water there. 20 But the herdsmen of Gerar quarreled with Isaac’s herdsmen and said, “The water is ours!” So he named the well Quarrel[f] because they quarreled with him.(N) 21 Then they dug another well and quarreled over that one also, so he named it Hostility.[g] 22 He moved from there and dug another, and they did not quarrel over it. He named it Open Spaces[h] and said, “For now the Lord has made room for us, and we will be fruitful in the land.”
The Lord Appears to Isaac
23 From there he went up to Beer-sheba, 24 and the Lord appeared to him that night and said, “I am the God of your father Abraham.(O) Do not be afraid, for I am with you.(P) I will bless you and multiply your offspring because of My servant Abraham.”
25 So he built an altar there,(Q) called on the name of Yahweh, and pitched his tent there. Isaac’s slaves also dug a well there.(R)
Covenant with Abimelech
26 Now Abimelech came to him from Gerar with Ahuzzath his adviser and Phicol the commander of his army.(S) 27 Isaac said to them, “Why have you come to me? You hated me and sent me away from you.”
28 They replied, “We have clearly seen how the Lord has been with you. We think there should be an oath between two parties—between us and you. Let us make a covenant with you: 29 You will not harm us, just as we have not harmed you but have only done what was good to you, sending you away in peace. You are now blessed by the Lord.”(T)
30 So he prepared a banquet for them, and they ate and drank. 31 They got up early in the morning and swore an oath to each other.[i](U) Then Isaac sent them on their way, and they left him in peace. 32 On that same day Isaac’s slaves came to tell him about the well they had dug, saying to him, “We have found water!”(V) 33 He called it Sheba.[j] Therefore the name of the city is Beer-sheba[k](W) to this day.
Esau’s Wives
34 When Esau was 40 years old, he took as his wives Judith daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Basemath daughter of Elon the Hittite.(X) 35 They made life bitter[l] for Isaac and Rebekah.(Y)

King James Version
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.
