耶稣从那里往前走，看见一个人名叫马太，坐在税关上，就对他说，跟从我。他就起来，跟从了耶稣。
And as Jesus passed on from there, He saw a man sitting at the tax office, called Matthew, and He said to him, Follow Me. And he rose and followed Him.

耶稣在屋里坐席，看哪，有好些税吏和罪人来，与耶稣和祂的门徒一同坐席。
And as He was reclining at table in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and reclined together with Jesus and His disciples.

法利赛人看见，就对耶稣的门徒说，你们的老师为什么和税吏并罪人一同吃饭？
And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to His disciples, Why does your Teacher eat with the tax collectors and sinners?

耶稣听见，就说，强健的人用不着医生，有病的人才用得着。
Now when He heard this, He said, Those who are strong have no need of a physician, but those who are ill.

你们去研究，“我要的是怜悯，不是祭祀，”是什么意思；我来本不是召义人，乃是召罪人。
But go and learn what this means, “I desire mercy and not sacrifice,” for I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners.

那时，约翰的门徒到耶稣跟前来，说，为什么我们和法利赛人常常禁食，你的门徒倒不禁食？
Then the disciples of John came to Him, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast much, but Your disciples do not fast?

耶稣对他们说，新郎和伴友同在的时候，伴友岂能哀恸？但日子将到，新郎要从他们中间被取去，那时他们就要禁食。
And Jesus said to them, The sons of the bridechamber cannot mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them, can they? But days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast.

再者，没有人用未漂过的布作补丁，补在旧衣服上，因为所补上的，会扯破那衣服，裂缝就更大了。
No one puts a patch of unfulled cloth on an old garment, for that which fills it up pulls away from the garment, and a worse tear is made.

也没有人把新酒装在旧皮袋里；不然，皮袋胀裂，酒泻出来，皮袋也就坏了。人乃是把新酒装在新皮袋里，两样就都得保全。
Neither do they put new wine into old wineskins; otherwise, the wineskins burst, and the wine pours out, and the wineskins are ruined; but they put new wine into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved.

耶稣正对他们讲这些事的时候，看哪，有一个管会堂的来拜祂，说，我的女儿刚死了，但你去按手在她身上，她就要活了。
As He was speaking these things to them, behold, a ruler came and worshipped Him, saying, My daughter has just died, but come and lay Your hand on her, and she will live.

耶稣便起来，跟着他去，祂的门徒也跟了去。
And Jesus rose and followed him, and so did His disciples.

看哪，有一个女人，患了十二年血漏，来到耶稣背后，摸祂的衣服穗子；
And behold, a woman who had been suffering from a hemorrhage for twelve years approached from behind and touched the fringe of His garment,

因为她心里说，我只要摸着祂的衣服，就必得拯救。
For she said within herself, If only I touch His garment, I will be healed.

耶稣转过来，看见她，就说，女儿，放心，你的信救了你。从那时候，那女人就得了拯救。
And Jesus, turning and seeing her, said, Take courage, daughter; your faith has healed you. And the woman was healed from that hour.

耶稣到了管会堂的家里，看见吹笛的人，和乱嚷的群众，
And when Jesus came to the ruler's house and saw the flute players and the crowd making a commotion,

就说，走开吧，这闺女不是死了，乃是睡了。他们就嗤笑祂。
He said, Depart, for the girl has not died but is sleeping. And they laughed scornfully at Him.

群众既被撵出，耶稣就进去，握着闺女的手，闺女便起来了。
But when the crowd had been put out, He entered and took hold of her hand, and the girl rose up.

于是这风声传遍了那地方。
And this report went out into all that land.

耶稣从那里往前走，有两个瞎子跟着祂，喊叫说，大卫的子孙，可怜我们吧！
And as Jesus passed on from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out and saying, Have mercy on us, Son of David!

耶稣进了屋子，瞎子就到祂跟前来。耶稣对他们说，你们信我能作这事么？他们对祂说，主啊，是的。
And when He came into the house, the blind men came to Him; and Jesus said to them, Do you believe that I am able to do this? They said to Him, Yes, Lord.

耶稣就摸他们的眼睛，说，照着你们的信，给你们成就了吧！
Then He touched their eyes, saying, According to your faith, let it be done to you.

他们的眼睛就开了。耶稣严严地嘱咐他们说，当心，不可让人知道。
And their eyes were opened. And Jesus sternly charged them saying, See that no one knows!

但他们出去，竟把祂传遍了那地方。
But they went out and spread reports about Him in all that land.

他们出去的时候，看哪，有人将一个被鬼附的哑巴，带到耶稣跟前来。
And as they were going out, behold, they brought to Him a dumb man possessed with a demon.

鬼一被赶出去，哑巴就说出话来。群众都希奇说，在以色列中，这样的事从来没有出现过。
And when the demon was cast out, the dumb man spoke. And the crowds marveled, saying, Never has anything like this been seen in Israel.

法利赛人却说，祂是靠着鬼王赶鬼。
But the Pharisees said, By the ruler of the demons He casts out the demons.

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 begot Isaac.

以撒娶利百加为妻的时候，年四十岁。利百加是巴旦亚兰地亚兰人彼土利的女儿，是亚兰人拉班的妹妹。
And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramaean of Paddan-aram, the sister of Laban the Aramaean, to be his wife.

以撒因他妻子不能生育，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 entreated Jehovah for his wife because she was barren. And Jehovah was entreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.

孩子们在她里面彼此相争，她就说，若是这样，我为什么活着呢？她就去求问耶和华。
And the children struggled with each other within her. And she said, If it is so, why am I like this? And she went to inquire of Jehovah.

耶和华对她说，两国在你腹中，两族要从你身内分出。这族必强于那族，将来大的要服事小的。
And Jehovah said to her, Two nations are in your womb, / And two peoples shall be separated from your bowels. / And the one people shall be stronger than the other people. / And the older shall serve the younger.

她生产的日子到了，腹中果然是双子。
And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.

先出来的身体发红，浑身有毛，如同毛皮衣；他们就给他起名叫以扫。
And the first came forth red, all over like a hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.

随后以扫的弟弟也出来了，他的手抓住以扫的脚跟，因此给他起名叫雅各。利百加生下两个儿子的时候，以撒年六十岁。
And after that his brother came forth, and his hand was holding on to Esau's heel, so his name was called Jacob. And Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them.

两个孩子渐渐长大，以扫善于打猎，常在田野；雅各为人安静，常在帐棚里。
And when the boys grew up, Esau became a skillful hunter, a man of the field; but Jacob was a quiet man, dwelling in tents.

以撒爱以扫，因为常吃他的野味；利百加却爱雅各。
Now Isaac loved Esau because he had a taste for game, but Rebekah loved Jacob.

有一天，雅各熬汤，以扫从田野回来累昏了。
And Jacob cooked a stew. And Esau came in from the field, and he was faint.

以扫对雅各说，我累昏了，求你给我一些红汤喝。因此以扫又叫以东。
And Esau said to Jacob, Let me swallow down some of the red stew, that red stew there, for I am faint. Therefore his name was called Edom.

雅各说，你先把长子的名分卖给我吧。
And Jacob said, First sell me your birthright.

以扫说，我现在快死了，这长子的名分对我有什么用？
And Esau said, I am now about to die. Of what use then is this birthright to me?

雅各说，你先对我起誓吧。以扫就对他起誓，把长子的名分卖给雅各。
And Jacob said, First swear to me. And he swore to him and sold his birthright to Jacob.

于是雅各将饼和红豆汤给了以扫，以扫吃了喝了，便起身走了。以扫就这样轻看了他长子的名分。
And Jacob gave Esau bread and lentil stew, and he ate and drank and rose up and went away. Thus Esau despised his birthright.

在亚伯拉罕的日子，那地有过一次饥荒；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。
And there was a famine in the land, besides the former famine that had occurred in the days of Abraham. So Isaac went to Abimelech the king of the Philistines at Gerar.

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。
And Jehovah appeared to him and said, Do not go down to Egypt; dwell in the land of which I will tell you.

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。
Sojourn in this land, and I will be with you and will bless you; for to you and to your seed I will give all these lands, and I will establish the oath which I swore to Abraham your father.

我要使你的后裔繁增，如同天上的星那样多，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；
And I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven and will give to your seed all these lands; and in your seed all the nations of the earth will be blessed,

都因亚伯拉罕听从我的话，遵守我的吩咐、命令、律例、法度。
Because Abraham obeyed My voice and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws.

以撒就住在基拉耳。
So Isaac dwelt in Gerar.

那地方的人问到他的妻子，他便说，她是我的妹妹。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，因为她容貌美丽。
And the men of the place asked about his wife. And he said, She is my sister, for he was afraid to say, My wife, thinking, The men of this place might slay me on account of Rebekah, because she is beautiful in appearance.

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。
And when he had been there a long time, Abimelech the king of the Philistines looked out through his window and saw, and there was Isaac playfully caressing Rebekah his wife.

亚比米勒召了以撒来，说，她实在是你的妻子，你怎么说她是你的妹妹？以撒对他说，因为我想，恐怕我会因她而死。
And Abimelech called Isaac and said, So she is indeed your wife. How then did you say, She is my sister? And Isaac said to him, Because I thought I might die on account of her.

亚比米勒说，你向我们作的是什么事？民中有人险些和你的妻子同寝，那样你就使我们陷在罪里。
And 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.

于是亚比米勒吩咐众民说，凡触犯这个人或他妻子的，定要把他治死。
And Abimelech charged all the people, saying, He who touches this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.

以撒在那地撒种，那一年有百倍的收成。耶和华赐福给他，
And Isaac sowed in that land and gained in the same year a hundredfold. And Jehovah blessed him,

他就昌大，越发昌盛，成了巨富。
And the man became rich and continued to grow richer until he became very rich.

他有羊群、牛群，又有许多仆婢，非利士人就嫉妒他。
And he had possessions of flocks and possessions of herds and a great household, so that the Philistines envied him.

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。
Now all the wells which his father's servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father the Philistines had stopped up and filled with earth.

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。
And Abimelech said to Isaac, Go away from us, for you are much mightier than we.

以撒就离开那里，在基拉耳谷支搭帐棚，住在那里。
So Isaac went away from there and camped in the valley of Gerar and dwelt there.

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，仍照他父亲所起的，叫那些井的名字。
And Isaac dug again the wells of water which had been dug in the days of Abraham his father and which the Philistines had stopped up after the death of Abraham; and he called them by the same names which his father had given them.

以撒的仆人在谷中挖掘，得了一口活水井。
And Isaac's servants dug in the valley and found there a well of springing water.

基拉耳的牧人与以撒的牧人争闹，说，这水是我们的。以撒就给那井起名叫埃色，因为他们和他相争。
And the shepherds of Gerar strove with Isaac's shepherds, saying, The water is ours. So he called the name of the well Esek, because they contended with him.

以撒的仆人又挖了一口井，他们又为这井争闹，因此以撒给这井起名叫西提拿。
And they dug another well; and they strove over that also, so he called the name of it Sitnah.

以撒离开那里，又挖了一口井，他们不为这井争闹了，他就给那井起名叫利河伯。他说，耶和华现在给我们宽阔之地，我们必在这地繁衍。
And he moved away from there and dug another well, but they did not strive over it, so he called the name of it Rehoboth; and he said, Now Jehovah has made room for us, and we will be fruitful in the land.

以撒从那里上别是巴去。
And he went up from there to Beer-sheba.

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，必赐福给你，并要为我仆人亚伯拉罕的缘故，使你的后裔繁增。
And Jehovah appeared to him the same night and said, I am the God of Abraham your father. Do not be afraid, for I am with you, and I will bless you and multiply your seed for My servant Abraham's sake.

以撒就在那里筑了一座坛，呼求耶和华的名，并且支搭帐棚；他的仆人便在那里挖了一口井。
And he built an altar there and called upon the name of Jehovah and pitched his tent there. And there Isaac's servants dug a well.

亚比米勒同他的谋士亚户撒和他的军长非各，从基拉耳来见以撒。
And Abimelech came to him from Gerar with Ahuzzath his adviser and Phicol the captain of his army.

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？
And Isaac said to them, Why have you come to me, since you hate me and have sent me away from you?

他们说，我们明明看见耶和华与你同在；所以我们说，我们不如两下彼此起誓，让我们与你立约，
And they said, We see plainly that Jehovah is with you; so we say, Let there now be an oath between us, even between us and you, and let us make a covenant with you,

使你不侵害我们，正如我们未曾触犯你，一味地善待你，并且打发你平平安安地走了。你是蒙耶和华赐福的了。
That you will not do us any harm, just as we have not touched you, and just as we have done to you nothing but good and have sent you away in peace. You are now the blessed of Jehovah.

以撒就为他们设摆筵席，他们便吃了喝了。
And he made them a feast, and they ate and drank.

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。
And they rose up early in the morning and swore to one another. And Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace.

那一天，以撒的仆人来，将挖井的事告诉他说，我们找到水了。
And the same day Isaac's servants came and told him about the well which they had dug and said to him, We have found water.

他就给那井起名叫示巴；因此那城名叫别是巴，直到今日。
And he called it Shibah. Therefore the name of the city is Beer-sheba to this day.

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。
Now when Esau was forty years old, he took as wife Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite and Basemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite.

她们使以撒和利百加灵里苦恼。
And they caused bitterness of spirit to Isaac and to Rebekah.

以撒年老，眼睛昏花，不能看见，就叫了他大儿子以扫来，对他说，我儿。以扫说，我在这里。
Now when Isaac was old, and his eyes had become so dim that he could not see, he called Esau his older son and said to him, My son. And he said to him, Here I am.

他说，我如今老了，不知道哪一天死。
And he said, Behold now, I am old, and I do not know the day of my death.

现在拿你的器械，就是箭囊和弓，往田野去为我打些野味来，
Now then, please take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field, and hunt game for me,

照我所爱的作成美味，拿来给我吃，使我在未死之前给你祝福。
And prepare for me a tasty meal, such as I love, and bring it to me to eat, so that I may bless you before I die.

以撒对他儿子以扫说话的时候，利百加一直在听着。所以当以扫往田野去打猎，要得野味带回来，
Now Rebekah had been listening when Isaac spoke to Esau his son. So when Esau went to the field to hunt for game to bring it home,

利百加就对她儿子雅各说，我听见你父亲对你哥哥以扫说，
Rebekah spoke to Jacob her son, saying, I just heard your father speaking to Esau your brother, saying,

你去把野味带来，作成美味给我吃，我好在未死之前，在耶和华面前给你祝福。
Bring me game, and prepare for me a tasty meal so that I may eat it and bless you before Jehovah before my death.

现在，我儿，你要照着我所吩咐你的，听从我的话。
Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command you.

你到羊群去，给我拿两只肥山羊羔来，我便照你父亲所爱的，给他作成美味。
Go now to the flock, and take two choice kids for me from there, and I will prepare them as a tasty meal for your father, such as he loves.

你拿到你父亲那里给他吃，使他可以在未死之前给你祝福。
Then you shall bring it to your father to eat, so that he may bless you before his death.

雅各对他母亲利百加说，你看，我哥哥以扫浑身是有毛的，我身上是光滑的；
And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man.

倘若我父亲摸着我，必以我为欺哄人的，我就招来咒诅，不得祝福。
Perhaps my father will feel me, and I will be as a deceiver in his sight, and I will bring upon myself a curse and not a blessing.

他母亲对他说，我儿，你招的咒诅归到我身上；你只管听从我的话，去把羊羔给我拿来。
And his mother said to him, Your curse be on me, my son; only obey my voice, and go, get them for me.

他便去拿来，交给他母亲；他母亲就照他父亲所爱的，作成美味。
And he went and got them and brought them to his mother; and his mother prepared a tasty meal, such as his father loved.

利百加又把家里她所存大儿子以扫上好的衣服，给她小儿子雅各穿上；
And Rebekah took the best clothes of Esau her older son, which were with her in the house, and put them on Jacob her younger son.

又用山羊羔皮，包在雅各的手上和颈项的光滑处；
And she put the skins of the kids on his hands and on the smooth part of his neck.

就把所作的美味和饼，交在她儿子雅各的手里。
And she put the tasty meal and the bread that she had prepared into the hand of Jacob her son.

雅各到他父亲那里说，我父亲。他说，我在这里。我儿，你是谁？
And he came to his father and said, My father. And he said, Here I am. Who are you, my son?

雅各对他父亲说，我是你的长子以扫；我已照你所吩咐我的行了。请起来坐着，吃我的野味，好给我祝福。
And Jacob said to his father, I am Esau your firstborn; I have done as you told me. Now rise up; sit up and eat some of my game, so that you may bless me.

以撒对他儿子说，我儿，你怎么找得这么快？他说，因为耶和华你的神使我遇见好机会得着的。
And Isaac said to his son, How is it that you have found it so quickly, my son? And he said, Because Jehovah your God put it in my way.

以撒对雅各说，我儿，你近前来，让我摸摸你，好知道你真是我的儿子以扫不是。
And Isaac said to Jacob, Please come near that I may feel you, my son, to know whether you are really my son Esau or not.

雅各就挨近他父亲以撒。以撒摸着他，说，声音是雅各的声音，手却是以扫的手。
And Jacob came near to Isaac his father. And he felt him and said, The voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are Esau's hands.

以撒就辨不出他来，因为他手上有毛，像他哥哥以扫的手一样；以撒就给他祝福；
And he did not recognize him, because his hands were hairy like his brother Esau's hands; so he blessed him.

又说，你真是我儿子以扫么？他说，我是。
And he said, Are you really my son Esau? And he said, I am.

以撒说，你递给我，我好吃我儿子的野味，给你祝福。雅各就递给他，他便吃了；又拿酒给他，他也喝了。
And he said, Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son's game, that I may bless you. So he brought it near to him, and he ate; and he brought him wine, and he drank.

他父亲以撒对他说，我儿，你上前来与我亲嘴。
Then his father Isaac said to him, Please come near and kiss me, my son.
