وَكَانَتْ حَيَاةُ سَارَةَ مِئَةً وَسَبْعًا وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً، سِنِي حَيَاةِ سَارَةَ. ١ 1
Sarah lived one hundred twenty-seven years. This was the length of Sarah's life.
وَمَاتَتْ سَارَةُ فِي قَرْيَةِ أَرْبَعَ، ٱلَّتِي هِيَ حَبْرُونُ، فِي أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ. فَأَتَى إِبْرَاهِيمُ لِيَنْدُبَ سَارَةَ وَيَبْكِيَ عَلَيْهَا. ٢ 2
Sarah died in Kiriath Arba (that is, Hebron), in the land of Canaan. Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her.
وَقَامَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ مِنْ أَمَامِ مَيِّتِهِ وَكَلَّمَ بَنِي حِثَّ قَائِلًا: ٣ 3
Abraham rose up from before his dead, and spoke to the sons of Heth, saying,
«أَنَا غَرِيبٌ وَنَزِيلٌ عِنْدَكُمْ. أَعْطُونِي مُلْكَ قَبْرٍ مَعَكُمْ لِأَدْفِنَ مَيْتِي مِنْ أَمَامِي». ٤ 4
"I am a stranger and a foreigner living with you. Give me a possession of a burying-place with you, that I may remove my dead for burial."
فَأَجَابَ بَنُو حِثَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَائِلِينَ لَهُ: ٥ 5
The sons of Heth answered Abraham, saying to him,
«اِسْمَعْنَا يَا سَيِّدِي. أَنْتَ رَئِيسٌ مِنَ ٱللهِ بَيْنَنَا. فِي أَفْضَلِ قُبُورِنَا ٱدْفِنْ مَيْتَكَ، لَا يَمْنَعُ أَحَدٌ مِنَّا قَبْرَهُ عَنْكَ حَتَّى لَا تَدْفِنَ مَيْتَكَ». ٦ 6
"Hear us, my lord. You are a prince of God among us. Bury your dead in the best of our tombs. None of us will withhold from you his tomb to prevent you from burying your dead."
فَقَامَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ وَسَجَدَ لِشَعْبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، لِبَنِي حِثَّ، ٧ 7
Abraham rose up, and bowed himself to the people of the land, to the sons of Heth.
وَكَلَّمَهُمْ قَائِلًا: «إِنْ كَانَ فِي نُفُوسِكُمْ أَنْ أَدْفِنَ مَيْتِي مِنْ أَمَامِي، فَٱسْمَعُونِي وَٱلْتَمِسُوا لِي مِنْ عِفْرُونَ بْنِ صُوحَرَ ٨ 8
He talked with them, saying, "If you agree that I may remove my dead for burial, hear me, and approach Ephron the son of Zohar for me,
أَنْ يُعْطِيَنِي مَغَارَةَ ٱلْمَكْفِيلَةِ ٱلَّتِي لَهُ، ٱلَّتِي فِي طَرَفِ حَقْلِهِ. بِثَمَنٍ كَامِلٍ يُعْطِينِي إِيَّاهَا فِي وَسَطِكُمْ مُلْكَ قَبْرٍ». ٩ 9
that he may give me the cave of Machpelah, which he owns; it is at the end of his field. For the full price let him give it to me in your presence as a burial place."
وَكَانَ عِفْرُونُ جَالِسًا بَيْنَ بَنِي حِثَّ، فَأَجَابَ عِفْرُونُ ٱلْحِثِّيُّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ فِي مَسَامِعِ بَنِي حِثَّ، لَدَى جَمِيعِ ٱلدَّاخِلِينَ بَابَ مَدِينَتِهِ قَائِلًا: ١٠ 10
Now Ephron was sitting among the sons of Heth. Ephron the Hethite answered Abraham in the hearing of the sons of Heth, even of all who went in at the gate of his city, saying,
«لَا يَا سَيِّدِي، ٱسْمَعْنِي. اَلْحَقْلُ وَهَبْتُكَ إِيَّاهُ، وَٱلْمَغَارَةُ ٱلَّتِي فِيهِ لَكَ وَهَبْتُهَا. لَدَى عُيُونِ بَنِي شَعْبِي وَهَبْتُكَ إِيَّاهَا. ٱدْفِنْ مَيْتَكَ». ١١ 11
"No, my lord, hear me. I give you the field, and I give you the cave that is in it. In the presence of the sons of my people I give it to you. Bury your dead."
فَسَجَدَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ أَمَامَ شَعْبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، ١٢ 12
Abraham bowed himself down before the people of the land.
وَكَلَمَ عِفْرُونَ فِي مَسَامِعِ شَعْبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ قَائِلًا: «بَلْ إِنْ كُنْتَ أَنْتَ إِيَّاهُ فَلَيْتَكَ تَسْمَعُنِي. أُعْطِيكَ ثَمَنَ ٱلْحَقْلِ. خُذْ مِنِّي فَأَدْفِنَ مَيْتِي هُنَاكَ». ١٣ 13
He spoke to Ephron in the audience of the people of the land, saying, "But if you will, please hear me. I will give the price of the field. Take it from me, and I will bury my dead there."
فَأَجَابَ عِفْرُونُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَائِلًا لَهُ: ١٤ 14
Ephron answered Abraham, saying to him,
«يَا سَيِّدِي، ٱسْمَعْنِي. أَرْضٌ بِأَرْبَعِ مِئَةِ شَاقِلِ فِضَّةٍ، مَا هِيَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ؟ فَٱدْفِنْ مَيْتَكَ». ١٥ 15
"My lord, listen to me. What is a piece of land worth four hundred shekels of silver between me and you? Therefore bury your dead."
فَسَمِعَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ لِعِفْرُونَ، وَوَزَنَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ لِعِفْرُونَ ٱلْفِضَّةَ ٱلَّتِي ذَكَرَهَا فِي مَسَامِعِ بَنِي حِثَّ. أَرْبَعَ مِئَةِ شَاقِلِ فِضَّةٍ جَائِزَةٍ عِنْدَ ٱلتُّجَّارِ. ١٦ 16
Abraham listened to Ephron. Abraham weighed to Ephron the silver which he had named in the audience of the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, according to the current merchants' standard.
فَوَجَبَ حَقْلُ عِفْرُونَ ٱلَّذِي فِي ٱلْمَكْفِيلَةِ ٱلَّتِي أَمَامَ مَمْرَا، ٱلْحَقْلُ وَٱلْمَغَارَةُ ٱلَّتِي فِيهِ، وَجَمِيعُ ٱلشَّجَرِ ٱلَّذِي فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ ٱلَّذِي فِي جَمِيعِ حُدُودِهِ حَوَالَيْهِ، ١٧ 17
So the field of Ephron, which was in Machpelah, which was before Mamre, the field, the cave which was in it, and all the trees that were in the field, that were in all of its borders, were deeded
لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ مُلْكًا لَدَى عُيُونِ بَنِي حِثَّ، بَيْنَ جَمِيعِ ٱلدَّاخِلِينَ بَابَ مَدِينَتِهِ. ١٨ 18
to Abraham as a possession in the presence of the sons of Heth, before all who went in at the gate of his city.
وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ دَفَنَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ سَارَةَ ٱمْرَأَتَهُ فِي مَغَارَةِ حَقْلِ ٱلْمَكْفِيلَةِ أَمَامَ مَمْرَا، ٱلَّتِي هِيَ حَبْرُونُ، فِي أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ، ١٩ 19
After this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah before Mamre (that is, Hebron), in the land of Canaan.
فَوَجَبَ ٱلْحَقْلُ وَٱلْمَغَارَةُ ٱلَّتِي فِيهِ لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ مُلْكَ قَبْرٍ مِنْ عِنْدِ بَنِي حِثَّ. ٢٠ 20
The field, and the cave that is in it, were deeded to Abraham as a possession for a burial place by the sons of Heth.
