旧约-- 创世记(Genesis)--第21 章
21:1 耶和华按着先前的话眷顾撒拉，便照他所说的给撒拉成就。
And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did unto Sarah as he had spoken.
21:2 当亚伯拉罕年老的时候，撒拉怀了孕。到神所说的日期，就给亚伯拉罕生了一个儿子。
For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.
21:3 亚伯拉罕给撒拉所生的儿子起名叫以撒。
And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac.
21:4 以撒生下来第八日，亚伯拉罕照着神所吩咐的，给以撒行了割礼。
And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac being eight days old, as God had commanded him.
21:5 他儿子以撒生的时候，亚伯拉罕年一百岁。
And Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him.
21:6 撒拉说，神使我喜笑，凡听见的必与我一同喜笑。
And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, so that all that hear will laugh with me.
21:7 又说，谁能预先对亚伯拉罕说撒拉要乳养婴孩呢，因为在他年老的时候，我给他生了一个儿子。
And she said, Who would have said unto Abraham, that Sarah should have given children suck? for I have born him a son in his old age.
21:8 孩子渐长，就断了奶。以撒断奶的日子，亚伯拉罕设摆丰盛的筵席。
And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast the same day that Isaac was weaned.
21:9 当时，撒拉看见埃及人夏甲给亚伯拉罕所生的儿子戏笑，
And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had born unto Abraham, mocking.
21:10 就对亚伯拉罕说，你把这使女和她儿子赶出去，因为这使女的儿子不可与我的儿子以撒一同承受产业。
Wherefore she said unto Abraham, Cast out this bondwoman and her son: for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac.
21:11 亚伯拉罕因他儿子的缘故很忧愁。
And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight because of his son.
21:12 神对亚伯拉罕说，你不必为这童子和你的使女忧愁。凡撒拉对你说的话，你都该听从。因为从以撒生的，才要称为你的后裔。
And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.
21:13 至于使女的儿子，我也必使他的后裔成立一国，因为他是你所生的。
And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed.
21:14 亚伯拉罕清早起来，拿饼和一皮袋水，给了夏甲，搭在她的肩上，又把孩子交给她打发她走。夏甲就走了，在别是巴的旷野走迷了路。
And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread, and a bottle of water, and gave it unto Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the child, and sent her away: and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.
21:15 皮袋的水用尽了，夏甲就把孩子撇在小树底下，
And the water was spent in the bottle, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs.
21:16 自己走开约有一箭之远，相对而坐，说，我不忍见孩子死，就相对而坐，放声大哭。
And she went, and sat her down over against him a good way off, as it were a bow shot: for she said, Let me not see the death of the child. And she sat over against him, and lift up her voice, and wept.
21:17 神听见童子的声音。神的使者从天上呼叫夏甲说，夏甲，你为何这样呢，不要害怕，神已经听见童子的声音了。
And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he is.
21:18 起来，把童子抱在怀中（怀原文作手），我必使他的后裔成为大国。
Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I will make him a great nation.
21:19 神使夏甲的眼睛明亮，她就看见一口水井，便去将皮袋盛满了水，给童子喝。
And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink.
21:20 神保佑童子，他就渐长，住在旷野，成了弓箭手。
And God was with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.
21:21 他住在巴兰的旷野。他母亲从埃及地给他娶了一个妻子。
And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt.
21:22 当那时候，亚比米勒同他军长非各对亚伯拉罕说，凡你所行的事都有神的保佑。
And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech and Phichol the chief captain of his host spake unto Abraham, saying, God is with thee in all that thou doest:
21:23 我愿你如今在这里指着神对我起誓，不要欺负我与我的儿子，并我的子孙。我怎样厚待了你，你也要照样厚待我与你所寄居这地的民。
Now therefore swear unto me here by God that thou wilt not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son's son: but according to the kindness that I have done unto thee, thou shalt do unto me, and to the land wherein thou hast sojourned.
21:24 亚伯拉罕说，我情愿起誓。
And Abraham said, I will swear.
21:25 从前，亚比米勒的仆人霸占了一口水井，亚伯拉罕为这事指责亚比米勒。
And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of a well of water, which Abimelech's servants had violently taken away.
21:26 亚比米勒说，谁作这事，我不知道，你也没有告诉我，今日我才听见了。
And Abimelech said, I wot not who hath done this thing: neither didst thou tell me, neither yet heard I of it, but to day.
21:27 亚伯拉罕把羊和牛给了亚比米勒，二人就彼此立约。
And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them unto Abimelech; and both of them made a covenant.
21:28 亚伯拉罕把七只母羊羔另放在一处。
And Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.
21:29 亚比米勒问亚伯拉罕说，你把这七只母羊羔另放在一处，是什么意思呢。
And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What mean these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set by themselves?
21:30 他说，你要从我手里受这七只母羊羔，作我挖这口井的证据。
And he said, For these seven ewe lambs shalt thou take of my hand, that they may be a witness unto me, that I have digged this well.
21:31 所以他给那地方起名叫别是巴（就是盟誓的井），因为他们二人在那里起了誓。
Wherefore he called that place Beersheba; because there they sware both of them.
21:32 他们在别是巴立了约，亚比米勒就同他军长非各起身回非利士地去了。
Thus they made a covenant at Beersheba: then Abimelech rose up, and Phichol the chief captain of his host, and they returned into the land of the Philistines.
21:33 亚伯拉罕在别是巴栽上一棵垂丝柳树，又在那里求告耶和华永生神的名。
And Abraham planted a grove in Beersheba, and called there on the name of the LORD, the everlasting God.
21:34 亚伯拉罕在非利士人的地寄居了多日。
And Abraham sojourned in the Philistines' land many days.
旧约-- 创世记(Genesis)--第22 章
22:1 这些事以后，神要试验亚伯拉罕，就呼叫他说，亚伯拉罕，他说，我在这里。
And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am.
22:2 神说，你带着你的儿子，就是你独生的儿子，你所爱的以撒，往摩利亚地去，在我所要指示你的山上，把他献为燔祭。
And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.
22:3 亚伯拉罕清早起来，备上驴，带着两个仆人和他儿子以撒，也劈好了燔祭的柴，就起身往神所指示他的地方去了。
And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which God had told him.
22:4 到了第三日，亚伯拉罕举目远远地看见那地方。
Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.
22:5 亚伯拉罕对他的仆人说，你们和驴在此等候，我与童子往那里去拜一拜，就回到你们这里来。
And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you.
22:6 亚伯拉罕把燔祭的柴放在他儿子以撒身上，自己手里拿着火与刀。于是二人同行。
And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it upon Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife; and they went both of them together.
And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?
22:8 亚伯拉罕说，我儿，神必自己预备作燔祭的羊羔。于是二人同行。
And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.
22:9 他们到了神所指示的地方，亚伯拉罕在那里筑坛，把柴摆好，捆绑他的儿子以撒，放在坛的柴上。
And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood.
22:10 亚伯拉罕就伸手拿刀，要杀他的儿子。
And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.
22:11 耶和华的使者从天上呼叫他说，亚伯拉罕，亚伯拉罕，他说，我在这里。
And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I.
22:12 天使说，你不可在这童子身上下手。一点不可害他。现在我知道你是敬畏神的了。因为你没有将你的儿子，就是你独生的儿子，留下不给我。
And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me.
22:13 亚伯拉罕举目观看，不料，有一只公羊，两角扣在稠密的小树中，亚伯拉罕就取了那只公羊来，献为燔祭，代替他的儿子。
And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.
22:14 亚伯拉罕给那地方起名叫耶和华以勒（就是耶和华必预备），直到今日人还说，在耶和华的山上必有预备。
And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen.
22:15 耶和华的使者第二次从天上呼叫亚伯拉罕说，
And the angel of the LORD called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time,
22:16 耶和华说，你既行了这事，不留下你的儿子，就是你独生的儿子，我便指着自己起誓说，
And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son:
22:17 论福，我必赐大福给你。论子孙，我必叫你的子孙多起来，如同天上的星，海边的沙。你子孙必得着仇敌的城门，
That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;
22:18 并且地上万国都必因你的后裔得福，因为你听从了我的话。
And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.
22:19 于是亚伯拉罕回到他仆人那里，他们一同起身往别是巴去，亚伯拉罕就住在别是巴。
So Abraham returned unto his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beersheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beersheba.
22:20 这事以后，有人告诉亚伯拉罕说，密迦给你兄弟拿鹤生了几个儿子，
And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she hath also born children unto thy brother Nahor;
22:21 长子是乌斯，他的兄弟是布斯和亚兰的父亲基母利，
Huz his firstborn, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram,
22:22 并基薛，哈琐，必达，益拉，彼土利（彼土利生利百加）。
And Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel.
22:23 这八个人都是密迦给亚伯拉罕的兄弟拿鹤生的。
And Bethuel begat Rebekah: these eight Milcah did bear to Nahor, Abraham's brother.
22:24 拿鹤的妾名叫流玛，生了提八，迦含，他辖，和玛迦。
And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she bare also Tebah, and Gaham, and Thahash, and Maachah.
旧约-- 创世记(Genesis)--第23 章
23:1 撒拉享寿一百二十七岁，这是撒拉一生的岁数。
And Sarah was an hundred and seven and twenty years old: these were the years of the life of Sarah.
23:2 撒拉死在迦南地的基列亚巴，就是希伯仑。亚伯拉罕为她哀恸哭号。
And Sarah died in Kirjatharba; the same is Hebron in the land of Canaan: and Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her.
23:3 后来亚伯拉罕从死人面前起来，对赫人说，
And Abraham stood up from before his dead, and spake unto the sons of Heth, saying,
23:4 我在你们中间是外人，是寄居的。求你们在这里给我一块地，我好埋葬我的死人，使她不在我眼前。
I am a stranger and a sojourner with you: give me a possession of a buryingplace with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight.
23:5 赫人回答亚伯拉罕说，
And the children of Heth answered Abraham, saying unto him,
23:6 我主请听。你在我们中间是一位尊大的王子，只管在我们最好的坟地里埋葬你的死人。我们没有一人不容你在他的坟地里埋葬你的死人。
Hear us, my lord: thou art a mighty prince among us: in the choice of our sepulchres bury thy dead; none of us shall withhold from thee his sepulchre, but that thou mayest bury thy dead.
23:7 亚伯拉罕就起来，向那地的赫人下拜，
And Abraham stood up, and bowed himself to the people of the land, even to the children of Heth.
23:8 对他们说，你们若有意叫我埋葬我的死人，使她不在我眼前，就请听我的话，为我求琐辖的儿子以弗仑，
And he communed with them, saying, If it be your mind that I should bury my dead out of my sight; hear me, and intreat for me to Ephron the son of Zohar,
23:9 把田头上那麦比拉洞给我。他可以按着足价卖给我，作我在你们中间的坟地。
That he may give me the cave of Machpelah, which he hath, which is in the end of his field; for as much money as it is worth he shall give it me for a possession of a buryingplace amongst you.
23:10 当时以弗仑正坐在赫人中间。于是，赫人以弗仑在城门出入的赫人面前对亚伯拉罕说，
And Ephron dwelt among the children of Heth: and Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the audience of the children of Heth, even of all that went in at the gate of his city, saying,
23:11 不然，我主请听。我送给你这块田，连田间的洞也送给你，在我同族的人面前都给你，可以埋葬你的死人。
Nay, my lord, hear me: the field give I thee, and the cave that is therein, I give it thee; in the presence of the sons of my people give I it thee: bury thy dead.
23:12 亚伯拉罕就在那地的人民面前下拜，
And Abraham bowed down himself before the people of the land.
23:13 在他们面前对以弗仑说，你若应允，请听我的话。我要把田价给你，求你收下，我就在那里埋葬我的死人。
And he spake unto Ephron in the audience of the people of the land, saying, But if thou wilt give it, I pray thee, hear me: I will give thee money for the field; take it of me, and I will bury my dead there.
23:14 以弗仑回答亚伯拉罕说，
And Ephron answered Abraham, saying unto him,
23:15 我主请听。值四百舍客勒银子的一块田，在你我中间还算什么呢，只管埋葬你的死
My lord, hearken unto me: the land is worth four hundred shekels of silver; what is that betwixt me and thee? bury therefore thy dead.
23:16 亚伯拉罕听从了以弗仑，照着他在赫人面前所说的话，把买卖通用的银子平了四百舍客勒给以弗仑。
And Abraham hearkened unto Ephron; and Abraham weighed to Ephron the silver, which he had named in the audience of the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, current money with the merchant.
23:17 于是，麦比拉，幔利前，以弗仑的那块田和其中的洞，并田间四围的树木，
And the field of Ephron, which was in Machpelah, which was before Mamre, the field, and the cave which was therein, and all the trees that were in the field, that were in all the borders round about, were made sure
23:18 都定准归与亚伯拉罕，乃是他在赫人面前并城门出入的人面前买妥的。
Unto Abraham for a possession in the presence of the children of Heth, before all that went in at the gate of his city.
23:19 此后，亚伯拉罕把他妻子撒拉埋葬在迦南地幔利前的麦比拉田间的洞里。幔利就是希伯仑。
And after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah before Mamre: the same is Hebron in the land of Canaan.
23:20 从此，那块田和田间的洞就藉着赫人定准归与亚伯拉罕作坟地。
And the field, and the cave that is therein, were made sure unto Abraham for a possession of a buryingplace by the sons of Heth.
旧约-- 创世记(Genesis)--第24 章
24:1 亚伯拉罕年纪老迈，向来在一切事上耶和华都赐福给他。
And Abraham was old, and well stricken in age: and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things.
24:2 亚伯拉罕对管理他全业最老的仆人说，请你把手放在我大腿底下。
And Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house, that ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh:
24:3 我要叫你指着耶和华天地的主起誓，不要为我儿子娶这迦南地中的女子为妻。
And I will make thee swear by the LORD, the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell:
24:4 你要往我本地本族去，为我的儿子以撒娶一个妻子。
But thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son Isaac.
24:5 仆人对他说，倘若女子不肯跟我到这地方来，我必须将你的儿子带回你原出之地吗。
And the servant said unto him, Peradventure the woman will not be willing to follow me unto this land: must I needs bring thy son again unto the land from whence thou camest?
24:6 亚伯拉罕对他说，你要谨慎，不要带我的儿子回那里去。
And Abraham said unto him, Beware thou that thou bring not my son thither again.
24:7 耶和华天上的主曾带领我离开父家和本族的地，对我说话，向我起誓说，我要将这地赐给你的后裔。他必差遣使者在你面前，你就可以从那里为我儿子娶一个妻子。
The LORD God of heaven, which took me from my father's house, and from the land of my kindred, and which spake unto me, and that sware unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land; he shall send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife unto my son from thence.
24:8 倘若女子不肯跟你来，我使你起的誓就与你无干了，只是不可带我的儿子回那里去。
And if the woman will not be willing to follow thee, then thou shalt be clear from this my oath: only bring not my son thither again.
24:9 仆人就把手放在他主人亚伯拉罕的大腿底下，为这事向他起誓。
And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and sware to him concerning that matter.
24:10 那仆人从他主人的骆驼里取了十匹骆驼，并带些他主人各样的财物，起身往美索不达米亚去，到了拿鹤的城。
And the servant took ten camels of the camels of his master, and departed; for all the goods of his master were in his hand: and he arose, and went to Mesopotamia, unto the city of Nahor.
24:11 天将晚，众女子出来打水的时候，他便叫骆驼跪在城外的水井那里。
And he made his camels to kneel down without the city by a well of water at the time of the evening, even the time that women go out to draw water.
24:12 他说，耶和华我主人亚伯拉罕的神阿，求你施恩给我主人亚伯拉罕，使我今日遇见好机会。
And he said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, I pray thee, send me good speed this day, and shew kindness unto my master Abraham.
24:13 我现今站在井旁，城内居民的女子们正出来打水。
Behold, I stand here by the well of water; and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water:
24:14 我向哪一个女子说，请你拿下水瓶来，给我水喝，她若说，请喝，我也给你的骆驼喝，愿那女子就作你所预定给你仆人以撒的妻。这样，我便知道你施恩给我主人了。
And let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall say, Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink; and she shall say, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: let the same be she that thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac; and thereby shall I know that thou hast shewed kindness unto my master.
24:15 话还没有说完，不料，利百加肩头上扛着水瓶出来。利百加是彼土利所生的。彼土利是亚伯拉罕兄弟拿鹤妻子密迦的儿子。
And it came to pass, before he had done speaking, that, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder.
24:16 那女子容貌极其俊美，还是处女，也未曾有人亲近她。她下到井旁，打满了瓶，又上来。
And the damsel was very fair to look upon, a virgin, neither had any man known her: and she went down to the well, and filled her pitcher, and came up.
24:17 仆人跑上前去迎着她，说，求你将瓶里的水给我一点喝。
And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Let me, I pray thee, drink a little water of thy pitcher.
24:18 女子说，我主请喝，就急忙拿下瓶来，托在手上给他喝。
And she said, Drink, my lord: and she hasted, and let down her pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink.
24:19 女子给他喝了，就说，我再为你的骆驼打水，叫骆驼也喝足。
And when she had done giving him drink, she said, I will draw water for thy camels also, until they have done drinking.
24:20 她就急忙把瓶里的水倒在槽里，又跑到井旁打水，就为所有的骆驼打上水来。
And she hasted, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again unto the well to draw water, and drew for all his camels.
24:21 那人定睛看她，一句话也不说，要晓得耶和华赐他通达的道路没有。
And the man wondering at her held his peace, to wit whether the LORD had made his journey prosperous or not.
24:22 骆驼喝足了，那人就拿一个金环，重半舍客勒，两个金镯，重十舍客勒，给了那女子，
And it came to pass, as the camels had done drinking, that the man took a golden earring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hands of ten shekels weight of gold;
24:23 说，请告诉我，你是谁的女儿，你父亲家里有我们住宿的地方没有。
And said, Whose daughter art thou? tell me, I pray thee: is there room in thy father's house for us to lodge in?
24:24 女子说，我是密迦与拿鹤之子彼土利的女儿。
And she said unto him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, which she bare unto Nahor.
24:25 又说，我们家里足有粮草，也有住宿的地方。
She said moreover unto him, We have both straw and provender enough, and room to lodge in.
24:26 那人就低头向耶和华下拜，
And the man bowed down his head, and worshipped the LORD.
24:27 说，耶和华我主人亚伯拉罕的神是应当称颂的，因他不断地以慈爱诚实待我主人。至于我，耶和华在路上引领我，直走到我主人的兄弟家里。
And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of my master Abraham, who hath not left destitute my master of his mercy and his truth: I being in the way, the LORD led me to the house of my master's brethren.
24:28 女子跑回去，照着这些话告诉她母亲和她家里的人。
And the damsel ran, and told them of her mother's house these things.
24:29 *
And Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban: and Laban ran out unto the man, unto the well.
24:30 利百加有一个哥哥，名叫拉班，看见金环，又看见金镯在他妹子的手上，并听见他妹子利百加的话，说那人对我如此如此说。拉班就跑出来往井旁去，到那人跟前，见他仍站在骆驼旁边的井旁那里。
And it came to pass, when he saw the earring and bracelets upon his sister's hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, Thus spake the man unto me; that he came unto the man; and, behold, he stood by the camels at the well.
24:31 便对他说，你这蒙耶和华赐福的，请进来，为什么站在外边，我已经收拾了房屋，也为骆驼预备了地方。
And he said, Come in, thou blessed of the LORD; wherefore standest thou without? for I have prepared the house, and room for the camels.
24:32 那人就进了拉班的家。拉班卸了骆驼，用草料喂上，拿水给那人和跟随的人洗脚，
And the man came into the house: and he ungirded his camels, and gave straw and provender for the camels, and water to wash his feet, and the men's feet that were with him.
24:33 把饭摆在他面前，叫他吃，他却说，我不吃，等我说明白我的事情再吃。拉班说，请说。
And there was set meat before him to eat: but he said, I will not eat, until I have told mine errand. And he said, Speak on.
24:34 他说，我是亚伯拉罕的仆人。
And he said, I am Abraham's servant.
24:35 耶和华大大地赐福给我主人，使他昌大，又赐给他羊群，牛群，金银，仆婢，骆驼，和驴。
And the LORD hath blessed my master greatly; and he is become great: and he hath given him flocks, and herds, and silver, and gold, and menservants, and maidservants, and camels, and asses.
24:36 我主人的妻子撒拉年老的时候给我主人生了一个儿子。我主人也将一切所有的都给了这个儿子。
And Sarah my master's wife bare a son to my master when she was old: and unto him hath he given all that he hath.
24:37 我主人叫我起誓说，你不要为我儿子娶迦南地的女子为妻。
And my master made me swear, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife to my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell:
24:38 你要往我父家，我本族那里去，为我的儿子娶一个妻子。
But thou shalt go unto my father's house, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son.
24:39 我对我主人说，恐怕女子不肯跟我来。
And I said unto my master, Peradventure the woman will not follow me.
24:40 他就说，我所事奉的耶和华必要差遣他的使者与你同去，叫你的道路通达，你就得以在我父家，我本族那里，给我的儿子娶一个妻子。
And he said unto me, The LORD, before whom I walk, will send his angel with thee, and prosper thy way; and thou shalt take a wife for my son of my kindred, and of my father's house:
24:41 只要你到了我本族那里，我使你起的誓就与你无干。他们若不把女子交给你，我使你起的誓也与你无干。
Then shalt thou be clear from this my oath, when thou comest to my kindred; and if they give not thee one, thou shalt be clear from my oath.
24:42 我今日到了井旁，便说，耶和华我主人亚伯拉罕的神阿，愿你叫我所行的道路通达。
And I came this day unto the well, and said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, if now thou do prosper my way which I go:
24:43 我如今站在井旁，对哪一个出来打水的女子说，请你把你瓶里的水给我一点喝。
Behold, I stand by the well of water; and it shall come to pass, that when the virgin cometh forth to draw water, and I say to her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water of thy pitcher to drink;
24:44 她若说，你只管喝，我也为你的骆驼打水。愿那女子就作耶和华给我主人儿子所预定的妻。
And she say to me, Both drink thou, and I will also draw for thy camels: let the same be the woman whom the LORD hath appointed out for my master's son.
24:45 我心里的话还没有说完，利百加就出来，肩头上扛着水瓶，下到井旁打水。我便对她说，请你给我水喝。
And before I had done speaking in mine heart, behold, Rebekah came forth with her pitcher on her shoulder; and she went down unto the well, and drew water: and I said unto her, Let me drink, I pray thee.
24:46 她就急忙从肩头上拿下瓶来，说，请喝，我也给你的骆驼喝。我便喝了。她又给我的骆驼喝了。
And she made haste, and let down her pitcher from her shoulder, and said, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: so I drank, and she made the camels drink also.
24:47 我问她说，你是谁的女儿，她说，我是密迦与拿鹤之子彼土利的女儿。我就把环子戴在她鼻子上，把镯子戴在她两手上。
And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter art thou? And she said, The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bare unto him: and I put the earring upon her face, and the bracelets upon her hands.
24:48 随后我低头向耶和华下拜，称颂耶和华我主人亚伯拉罕的神。因为他引导我走合式的道路，使我得着我主人兄弟的孙女，给我主人的儿子为妻。
And I bowed down my head, and worshipped the LORD, and blessed the LORD God of my master Abraham, which had led me in the right way to take my master's brother's daughter unto his son.
24:49 现在你们若愿以慈爱诚实待我主人，就告诉我。若不然，也告诉我，使我可以或向左，或向右。
And now if ye will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me: and if not, tell me; that I may turn to the right hand, or to the left.
24:50 拉班和彼土利回答说，这事乃出于耶和华，我们不能向你说好说歹。
Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing proceedeth from the LORD: we cannot speak unto thee bad or good.
24:51 看哪，利百加在你面前，可以将她带去，照着耶和华所说的，给你主人的儿子为妻。
Behold, Rebekah is before thee, take her, and go, and let her be thy master's son's wife, as the LORD hath spoken.
24:52 亚伯拉罕的仆人听见他们这话，就向耶和华俯伏在地。
And it came to pass, that, when Abraham's servant heard their words, he worshipped the LORD, bowing himself to the earth.
24:53 当下仆人拿出金器，银器，和衣服送给利百加，又将宝物送给她哥哥和她母亲。
And the servant brought forth jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment, and gave them to Rebekah: he gave also to her brother and to her mother precious things.
24:54 仆人和跟从他的人吃了喝了，住了一夜。早晨起来，仆人就说，请打发我回我主人那里去吧。
And they did eat and drink, he and the men that were with him, and tarried all night; and they rose up in the morning, and he said, Send me away unto my master.
24:55 利百加的哥哥和她母亲说，让女子同我们再住几天，至少十天，然后她可以去。
And her brother and her mother said, Let the damsel abide with us a few days, at the least ten; after that she shall go.
24:56 仆人说，耶和华既赐给我通达的道路，你们不要耽误我，请打发我走，回我主人那里去吧。
And he said unto them, Hinder me not, seeing the LORD hath prospered my way; send me away that I may go to my master.
24:57 他们说，我们把女子叫来问问她。
And they said, We will call the damsel, and enquire at her mouth.
24:58 就叫了利百加来，问她说，你和这人同去吗。利百加说，我去。
And they called Rebekah, and said unto her, Wilt thou go with this man? And she said, I will go.
24:59 于是他们打发妹子利百加和她的乳母，同亚伯拉罕的仆人，并跟从仆人的，都走了。
And they sent away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham's servant, and his men.
24:60 他们就给利百加祝福说，我们的妹子阿，愿你作千万人的母。愿你的后裔得着仇敌的城门。
And they blessed Rebekah, and said unto her, Thou art our sister, be thou the mother of thousands of millions, and let thy seed possess the gate of those which hate them.
24:61 利百加和她的使女们起来，骑上骆驼，跟着那仆人，仆人就带着利百加走了。
And Rebekah arose, and her damsels, and they rode upon the camels, and followed the man: and the servant took Rebekah, and went his way.
24:62 那时，以撒住在南地，刚从庇耳拉海莱回来。
And Isaac came from the way of the well Lahairoi; for he dwelt in the south country.
24:63 天将晚，以撒出来在田间默想，举目一看，见来了些骆驼。
And Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the eventide: and he lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, behold, the camels were coming.
24:64 利百加举目看见以撒，就急铅下了骆驼，
And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she lighted off the camel.
24:65 问那仆人说，这田间走来迎接我们的是谁。仆人说，是我的主人。利百加就拿帕子蒙上脸。
For she had said unto the servant, What man is this that walketh in the field to meet us? And the servant had said, It is my master: therefore she took a vail, and covered herself.
24:66 仆人就将所办的一切事都告诉以撒。
And the servant told Isaac all things that he had done.
24:67 以撒便领利百加进了他母亲撒拉的帐棚，娶了她为妻，并且爱她。以撒自从他母亲不在了，这才得了安慰。
And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her: and Isaac was comforted after his mother's death.
旧约-- 创世记(Genesis)--第25 章
25:1 亚伯拉罕又娶了一妻，名叫基土拉。
Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah.
25:2 基土拉给他生了心兰，约珊，米但，米甸，伊施巴，和书亚。
And she bare him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.
25:3 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。
And Jokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim.
25:4 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。
And the sons of Midian; Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abidah, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.
25:5 亚伯拉罕将一切所有的都给了以撒。
And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac.
25:6 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。
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.
25:7 亚伯拉罕一生的年日是一百七十五岁。
And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, an hundred threescore and fifteen years.
25:8 亚伯拉罕寿高年迈，气绝而死，归到他列祖（原文作本民）那里。
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.
25:9 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，
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;
25:10 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。
The field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth: there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife.
25:11 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。
And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed his son Isaac; and Isaac dwelt by the well Lahairoi.
25:12 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。
Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, bare unto Abraham:
25:13 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，
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,
25:14 米施玛，度玛，玛撒，
And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,
25:15 哈大，提玛，伊突，拿非施，基底玛。
Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah:
25:16 这是以实玛利众子的名字，照着他们的村庄，营寨，作了十二族的族长。
These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their towns, and by their castles; twelve princes according to their nations.
25:17 以实玛利享寿一百三十七岁，气绝而死，归到他列祖（原文作本民）那里。
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.
25:18 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。
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.
25:19 亚伯拉罕的儿子以撒的后代记在下面。亚伯拉罕生以撒。
And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son: Abraham begat Isaac:
25:20 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。
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.
25:21 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。
And Isaac intreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren: and the LORD was intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
25:22 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（或作我为什么如此呢）。她就去求问耶和华。
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.
25:23 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。将来大的要服事小的。
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.
25:24 生产的日子到了，腹中果然是双子。
And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.
25:25 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（以扫就是有毛的意思）。
And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.
25:26 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（雅各就是抓住的意思）。利百加生下两个儿子的时候，以撒年正六十岁。
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.
25:27 两个孩子渐渐长大，以扫善于打猎，常在田野。雅各为人安静，常住在帐棚里。
And the boys grew: and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents.
25:28 以撒爱以扫，因为常吃他的野味。利百加却爱雅各。
And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison: but Rebekah loved Jacob.
25:29 有一天，雅各熬汤，以扫从田野回来累昏了。
And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he was faint:
25:30 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（以东就是红的意思）。
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.
25:31 雅各说，你今日把长子的名分卖给我吧。
And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright.
25:32 以扫说，我将要死，这长子的名分于我有什么益处呢。
And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me?
25:33 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。
And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob.
25:34 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。
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.
