創世記 26
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
以撒寄居基拉耳
26 亞伯拉罕在世的時候，那地方鬧過一次饑荒，這時又鬧饑荒。以撒就遷到基拉耳的非利士王亞比米勒那裡。 2 耶和華向以撒顯現說：「不要下埃及去，要住在我指示你住的地方。 3 你寄居在這裡，我必與你同在，賜福給你，因為我必把這些土地賜給你和你的後代，堅立我對你父親亞伯拉罕的誓約。 4 我必使你的後代多如繁星，將這些土地都賜給他們，天下萬國必因你的後裔而蒙福。 5 因為亞伯拉罕聽從我的話，遵守我的吩咐、命令、典章和律法。」
亞比米勒斥責以撒
6 於是，以撒就在基拉耳住下來。 7 那裡的人問起他的妻子時，他便說：「她是我妹妹。」他不敢說：「她是我妻子。」他擔心當地的人會因為利百加而害他，因為利百加長得非常美麗。 8 以撒在那裡住了許久。一天，非利士王亞比米勒從窗口看見以撒和利百加親熱的情形， 9 便召見以撒，問他：「她明明是你妻子，為什麼你說她是你妹妹呢？」以撒回答說：「我擔心別人為了她而殺害我！」 10 亞比米勒說：「你怎麼可以這樣對我們呢？萬一百姓中有人想佔有她，你就使我們陷入罪中了。」 11 於是，亞比米勒下令全國：凡傷害他們二人的，必被處死。
12 以撒在那裡耕種，耶和華賜福給他，那一年他得了百倍的收成。 13 他的財富越來越多，成了大富戶。 14 他擁有很多的牛羊和僕婢，非利士人嫉妒他。 15 他父親亞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 亞比米勒對以撒說：「請你離開我們吧，因為你太強盛了。」 17 以撒就離開那裡，把帳篷遷往基拉耳谷居住。 18 他的父親亞伯拉罕生前挖的水井都被非利士人塞住了，以撒便重新挖開，並沿用父親生前給那些水井起的名字。 19 以撒的牧人在谷中挖得一口活水井， 20 基拉耳的牧人與以撒的牧人爭吵起來，都說：「這口井是我們的。」於是，以撒便稱那口井為埃色[a]。 21 後來，以撒的僕人又挖了一口井，他們雙方又為那口井發生爭執，以撒便稱那口井為西提拿[b]。 22 以撒離開那裡，又挖了一口水井。這次，他們沒有為那口井爭吵。所以，以撒稱那口井為利河伯[c]。以撒說：「如今耶和華給了我們一個寬闊的地方，我們可以在這裡繁榮興旺。」
23 以撒從那裡上別示巴去。 24 當天晚上，耶和華向他顯現說：「我是你父親亞伯拉罕的上帝。你不用懼怕，因為我與你同在。為了我僕人亞伯拉罕的緣故，我必賜福給你，使你子孫眾多。」 25 以撒在那裡築了一座壇求告耶和華，並且在那裡搭起帳篷住下來。他的僕人又在那裡挖了一口井。
以撒和亞比米勒起誓立約
26 一天，亞比米勒帶著他的參謀亞戶撒、將領非各從基拉耳來見以撒。 27 以撒見到他們就說：「你們既然憎恨我，把我趕走，為什麼又來找我？」 28 他們回答說：「我們清楚知道耶和華與你同在，我們雙方應該訂立誓約。 29 請你起誓保證不會傷害我們，就像我們沒有侵犯你，總是善待你，讓你平安地離開一樣。你是蒙耶和華賜福的人。」 30 於是，以撒為他們擺設宴席，一同吃喝。 31 第二天早晨，以撒和他們互相起誓之後，送他們平安地離去。 32 在同一天，以撒的僕人將挖井的事告訴他，說：「我們找到水了。」 33 以撒便稱那口井為示巴[d]，因此那城叫別示巴，沿用至今。
以掃娶妻
34 以掃四十歲時，娶了赫人比利的女兒猶蒂與赫人以倫的女兒巴實抹。 35 她們二人常使以撒和利百加傷心。
创世记 26
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
以撒与亚比米勒
26 从前在亚伯拉罕的时候，曾经有过一次饥荒，现在那地又有饥荒，以撒就到基拉耳去，到非利士人的王亚比米勒那里。 2 耶和华向以撒显现，说：“你不要下到埃及去，要住在我所指示你的地方。 3 你要寄居在这地，我必与你同在，必赐福给你，因为我要把这全地都赐给你和你的后裔，履行我向你父亲亚伯拉罕所起的誓。 4 我必使你的后裔增多，好象天上的星那样多；我必把这全地都赐给你的后裔；地上的万国都必因你的后裔得福。 5 这是因为亚伯拉罕听从了我的话，遵守了我的吩咐、我的命令、我的条例和我的律法。” 6 于是，以撒就住在基拉耳。 7 那地方的人问起他的妻子，他就回答：“她是我的妹妹。”因为他不敢说：“她是我的妻子。”他心里想：“恐怕这地方的人，因利百加的缘故把我杀了，因为她容貌美丽。” 8 以撒在那里住了很久。有一天，非利士人的王亚比米勒从窗户里向外观望，看见以撒正在爱抚他的妻子利百加。 9 亚比米勒于是把以撒召了来，对他说：“你看，她实在是你的妻子，你怎么说是你的妹妹呢？”以撒回答他：“因为我心里想：‘恐怕我因她的缘故丧命。’” 10 亚比米勒说：“你向我们作的是甚么事呢？人民中间险些有人与你的妻子同睡，那你就把我们陷在罪恶里了。” 11 于是，亚比米勒吩咐全国人民，说：“凡是触犯这人或是他的妻子的，必被处死。”
12 以撒在那里耕种，那一年丰收百倍，耶和华实在赐福给他。 13 他就日渐昌大，越来越富有，成了个大富翁。 14 他拥有羊群、牛群和很多仆人，非利士人就嫉妒他。 15 他父亲亚伯拉罕在世的时候，所有由他父亲仆人挖的井，非利士人都塞住了，填满了土。 16 亚比米勒对以撒说：“你离开我们去吧，因为你比我们强大得多了。” 17 以撒于是离开那里，在基拉耳谷支搭帐棚，住在那里。
18 他父亲亚伯拉罕在世的时候，仆人所挖的水井，在亚伯拉罕死后都被非利士人塞住了。以撒重新挖掘这些井，仍然照着他父亲所起的名字叫它们。 19 以撒的仆人在山谷里挖井，在那里挖得一口活水井。 20 基拉耳的牧人与以撒的牧人争闹起来，说：“这水是我们的。”以撒就给那井起名叫埃色，因为他们与他相争。 21 以撒的仆人又挖了另一口井，他们又为这井争闹起来，因此以撒给这井起名叫西提拿。 22 以撒离开那里，又挖了另一口井；他们不再为这井争闹了，他就给那井起名利河伯，因为他说：“现在耶和华给我们宽阔的地方，我们必在这里繁盛起来了。”
23 以撒从那里上到别是巴去。 24 那天晚上，耶和华向他显现，说：
“我是你父亲亚伯拉罕的 神；
你不要怕，因为我与你同在；
我必为了我仆人亚伯拉罕的缘故，
赐福给你，使你的后裔增多。”
25 以撒就在那里筑了一座祭坛，呼求耶和华的名；又在那里支搭帐棚；以撒的仆人也在那里挖了一口井。
以撒与亚比米勒立约
26 亚比米勒和他的朋友亚户撒，以及他的军长非各，从基拉耳来到以撒那里。 27 以撒问他们：“你们既然恨我，把我从你们中间赶出来，为甚么又到我这里来呢？” 28 他们回答：“我们实在看见耶和华与你同在，因此我们想：‘不如我们双方起誓。’让我们与你立约吧； 29 你不要伤害我们，正如我们从来没有触犯你，只有善待你，让你平平安安地离开。现在你是蒙耶和华赐福的了。” 30 以撒就为他们摆设筵席，他们就一起吃喝。 31 第二天，他们清早起来，彼此起誓；以撒就送他们走，他们平平安安地离开他走了。 32 那一天，以撒的仆人来把他们挖井的事告诉他，说：“我们找到水了。” 33 以撒就给那井起名叫示巴，因此那城名叫别是巴，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，和赫人以伦的女儿巴实抹为妻。 35 她们二人常使以撒和利百加伤心难过。
Genesis 26
New American Standard Bible 1995
Isaac Settles in Gerar
26 Now there was (A)a famine in the land, besides the previous famine that had occurred in the days of Abraham. So Isaac went to Gerar, to (B)Abimelech king of the Philistines. 2 The Lord (C)appeared to him and said, “Do not go down to Egypt; [a](D)stay in the land of which I shall tell you. 3 Sojourn in this land and (E)I will be with you and (F)bless you, for (G)to you and to your [b]descendants I will give all these lands, and I will establish (H)the oath which I swore to your father Abraham. 4 (I)I will multiply your [c]descendants as the stars of heaven, and will give your [d]descendants all these lands; and (J)by your [e]descendants all the nations of the earth [f]shall be blessed; 5 because Abraham [g](K)obeyed Me and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes and My laws.”
6 So Isaac [h]lived in Gerar. 7 When the men of the place asked about his wife, he said, “(L)She is my sister,” for he was (M)afraid to say, “my wife,” thinking, “[i]the men of the place might kill me on account of Rebekah, for she is (N)beautiful.” 8 It came about, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out through a window, and saw, and behold, Isaac was caressing his wife Rebekah. 9 Then Abimelech called Isaac and said, “Behold, certainly she is your wife! How then did you say, ‘She is my sister’?” And Isaac said to him, “Because I said, ‘I might die on account of her.’” 10 (O)Abimelech said, “What is this you have done to us? One of the people might easily have lain with your wife, and you would have brought guilt upon us.” 11 So Abimelech charged all the people, saying, “He who (P)touches this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.”
12 Now Isaac sowed in that land and [j]reaped in the same year a hundredfold. And (Q)the Lord blessed him, 13 and the man (R)became rich, and continued to grow [k]richer until he became very [l]wealthy; 14 for (S)he had possessions of flocks [m]and herds and a great household, so that the Philistines envied him. 15 Now (T)all the wells which his father’s servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines stopped up [n]by filling them with earth. 16 Then Abimelech said to Isaac, “Go away from us, for you are [o](U)too powerful for us.” 17 And Isaac departed from there and camped in the valley of Gerar, and [p]settled there.
Quarrel over the Wells
18 Then Isaac dug again the wells of water which [q]had been dug in the days of his father Abraham, for the Philistines had stopped them up after the death of Abraham; and he [r]gave them the same names which his father had [s]given them. 19 But when Isaac’s servants dug in the valley and found there a well of [t]flowing water, 20 the herdsmen of Gerar (V)quarreled with the herdsmen of Isaac, saying, “The water is ours!” So he named the well [u]Esek, because they contended with him. 21 Then they dug another well, and they quarreled over it too, so he named it [v]Sitnah. 22 He moved away from there and dug another well, and they did not quarrel over it; so he named it [w]Rehoboth, for he said, “[x](W)At last the Lord has made [y]room for us, and we will be (X)fruitful in the land.”
23 Then he went up from there to (Y)Beersheba. 24 The Lord (Z)appeared to him the same night and said,
“(AA)I am the God of your father Abraham;
(AB)Do not fear, for I am with you.
I (AC)will bless you, and multiply your [z]descendants,
For the sake of My servant Abraham.”
25 So he built an (AD)altar there and called upon the name of the Lord, and pitched his tent there; and there Isaac’s servants dug a well.
Covenant with Abimelech
26 Then (AE)Abimelech came to him from Gerar [aa]with his adviser Ahuzzath and Phicol the commander of his army. 27 Isaac said to them, “(AF)Why have you come to me, since you hate me and have sent me away from you?” 28 They said, “We see plainly (AG)that the Lord has been with you; so we said, ‘Let there now be an oath between us, even between [ab]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 [ac]and have done to you nothing but good and have sent you away in peace. You are now the (AH)blessed of the Lord.’” 30 Then (AI)he made them a feast, and they ate and drank. 31 In the morning they arose early and [ad](AJ)exchanged oaths; then Isaac sent them away and they departed from him in peace. 32 Now it came about on the same day, that Isaac’s servants came in and told him about the well which they had dug, and said to him, “We have found water.” 33 So he called it Shibah; therefore the name of the city is (AK)Beersheba to this day.
34 When Esau was forty years old (AL)he [ae]married Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Basemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite; 35 and (AM)they [af]brought grief to Isaac and Rebekah.

American Standard Version
26 And there was a famine in the land, besides the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines, unto Gerar. 2 And Jehovah 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 lands, and I will establish the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father; 4 and I will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these lands; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth [a]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, 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 because of her. 10 And Abimelech said, What is this thou hast done unto us? one of the people might easily have lain with thy wife, and thou wouldest have brought guiltiness upon us. 11 And Abimelech charged all the people, saying, He that toucheth this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.
12 And Isaac sowed in that land, and found in the same year a hundredfold: and Jehovah blessed him. 13 And the man waxed great, and grew more and more until he became very great: 14 and he had possessions of flocks, and possessions of herds, and a great household: and the Philistines envied him. 15 Now all the wells which his father’s servants had digged in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped, and filled with earth. 16 And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us; for thou art much mightier than we. 17 And Isaac departed thence, and encamped 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 [b]springing water. 20 And the herdsmen of Gerar strove with Isaac’s herdsmen, saying, The water is ours: and he called the name of the well [c]Esek, because they contended with him. 21 And they digged another well, and they strove for that also: and he called the name of it [d]Sitnah. 22 And he removed from thence, and digged another well; and for that they strove not: and he called the name of it [e]Rehoboth; and he said, For now Jehovah hath made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.
23 And he went up from thence to Beer-sheba. 24 And Jehovah 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 Jehovah, and pitched his tent there: and there Isaac’s servants digged a well.
26 Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath his friend, and Phicol the captain of his host. 27 And Isaac said unto them, Wherefore are ye come unto me, seeing ye hate me, and have sent me away from you? 28 And they said, We saw plainly that Jehovah was with thee: and we said, Let there now be 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 Jehovah. 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 Shibah: therefore the name of the city is Beer-sheba unto this day.
34 And when Esau was forty years old he took to wife Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Basemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite: 35 and they were [f]a grief of mind unto Isaac and to Rebekah.

Isaac Lies to Abimelech
26 Now there was a time of hunger in the land, besides the time of hunger that happened during Abraham’s life. So Isaac went to the town of Gerar to see Abimelech king of the Philistines. 2 The Lord appeared to Isaac and said, “Don’t go down to Egypt, but live in the land where I tell you to live. 3 Stay in this land, and I will be with you and bless you. I will give you and your descendants all these lands, and I will keep the oath I made to Abraham your father. 4 I will give you many descendants, as hard to count as the stars in the sky, and I will give them all these lands. Through your descendants all the nations on the earth will be blessed. 5 I will do this because your father Abraham obeyed me. He did what I said and obeyed my commands, my teachings, and my rules.”
6 So Isaac stayed in Gerar. 7 His wife Rebekah was very beautiful, and the men of that place asked Isaac about her. Isaac said, “She is my sister,” because he was afraid to tell them she was his wife. He thought they might kill him so they could have her.
8 Isaac lived there a long time. One day as Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out his window, he saw Isaac holding his wife Rebekah tenderly. 9 Abimelech called for Isaac and said, “This woman is your wife. Why did you say she was your sister?”
Isaac said to him, “I was afraid you would kill me so you could have her.”
10 Abimelech said, “What have you done to us? One of our men might have had sexual relations with your wife. Then we would have been guilty of a great sin.”
11 So Abimelech warned everyone, “Anyone who touches this man or his wife will be put to death.”
Isaac Becomes Rich
12 Isaac planted seed in that land, and that year he gathered a great harvest. The Lord blessed him very much, 13 and he became rich. He gathered more wealth until he became a very rich man. 14 He had so many slaves and flocks and herds that the Philistines envied him. 15 So they stopped up all the wells the servants of Isaac’s father Abraham had dug. (They had dug them when Abraham was alive.) The Philistines filled those wells with dirt. 16 And Abimelech said to Isaac, “Leave our country because you have become much more powerful than we are.”
17 So Isaac left that place and camped in the Valley of Gerar and lived there. 18 Long before this time Abraham had dug many wells, but after he died, the Philistines filled them with dirt. So Isaac dug those wells again and gave them the same names his father had given them. 19 Isaac’s servants dug a well in the valley, from which a spring of water flowed. 20 But the herdsmen of Gerar argued with them and said, “This water is ours.” So Isaac named that well Argue because they argued with him. 21 Then his servants dug another well. When the people also argued about it, Isaac named that well Fight. 22 He moved from there and dug another well. No one argued about this one, so he named it Room Enough. Isaac said, “Now the Lord has made room for us, and we will be successful in this land.”
23 From there Isaac went to Beersheba. 24 The Lord appeared to him that night and said, “I am the God of your father Abraham. Don’t be afraid, because I am with you. I will bless you and give you many descendants because of my servant Abraham.” 25 So Isaac built an altar and worshiped the Lord there. He also made a camp there, and his servants dug a well.
26 Abimelech came from Gerar to see Isaac. He brought with him Ahuzzath, who advised him, and Phicol, the commander of his army. 27 Isaac asked them, “Why have you come to see me? You were my enemy and forced me to leave your country.”
28 They answered, “Now we know that the Lord is with you. Let us swear an oath to each other. Let us make an agreement with you 29 that since we did not hurt you, you will not hurt us. We were good to you and sent you away in peace. Now the Lord has blessed you.”
30 So Isaac prepared food for them, and they all ate and drank. 31 Early the next morning the men swore an oath to each other. Then Isaac sent them away, and they left in peace.
32 That day Isaac’s servants came and told him about the well they had dug, saying, “We found water in that well.” 33 So Isaac named it Shibah[a] and that city is called Beersheba even now.
34 When Esau was forty years old, he married two Hittite women—Judith daughter of Beeri and Basemath daughter of Elon. 35 These women brought much sorrow to Isaac and Rebekah.
