Genesis 23
1 And the life of Sarah is one hundred and twenty-seven years—years of the life of Sarah;
Duljina Sarina života bila je stotinu dvadeset i sedam godina.
2 and Sarah dies in Kirjath-Arba, which [is] Hebron, in the land of Canaan, and Abraham goes to mourn for Sarah, and to lament her.
Sara umrije u Kirjat Arbi, to jest u Hebronu, u zemlji kanaanskoj; i Abraham uđe u žalost za Sarom i naricaše za njom.
3 And Abraham rises up from the presence of his dead, and speaks to the sons of Heth, saying,
Potom se Abraham digne ispred svoje pokojnice te prozbori sinovima Hetovim:
4 “A sojourner and a settler I [am] with you; give to me a possession of a burying-place with you, and I bury my dead from before me.”
“Premda sam ja među vama doseljeni stranac, prodajte mi zemljište za grob među vama, tako da mogu iznijeti svoju pokojnicu i sahraniti je.”
5 And the sons of Heth answer Abraham, saying to him,
A sinovi Hetovi odgovore Abrahamu:
6 “Hear us, my lord; a prince of God [are] you in our midst; in the choice of our burying-places bury your dead: none of our burying-places do we withhold from you, from burying your dead.”
“Gospodine, saslušaj nas! Ti si izabranik Božji u našoj sredini. Pokopaj svoju pokojnicu u našem najbiranijem grobu. Nitko ti od nas neće odbiti svoga groba da mogneš sahraniti svoju pokojnicu.”
7 And Abraham rises and bows himself to the people of the land, to the sons of Heth,
Nato se Abraham diže pa se mještanima, sinovima Hetovim, duboko pokloni
8 and he speaks with them, saying, “If it is your desire to bury my dead from before me, hear me, and meet for me with Ephron, son of Zoar;
te im reče: “Ako se slažete da svoju pokojnicu uklonim i sahranim, čujte me: zauzmite se za me kod Efrona, sina Soharova,
9 and he gives to me the cave of Machpelah, which he has, which [is] in the extremity of his field; for full money does he give it to me, in your midst, for a possession of a burying-place.”
da mi proda spilju Makpelu što njemu pripada a nalazi se na kraju njegova posjeda; neka mi je za punu cijenu, u vašoj nazočnosti, proda u vlasništvo za sahranjivanje.”
10 And Ephron is sitting in the midst of the sons of Heth, and Ephron the Hittite answers Abraham in the ears of the sons of Heth, of all those entering the gate of his city, saying,
A Efron je sjedio sa sinovima Hetovim. Potom Efron, Hetit, odgovori Abrahamu da ga čuju sinovi Hetovi svojim ušima - svi koji su sjedili u vijeću onoga grada:
11 “No, my lord, hear me: the field I have given to you, and the cave that [is] in it, to you I have given it; before the eyes of the sons of my people I have given it to you—bury your dead.”
“Ne, moj gospodine! Saslušaj mene! Ja tebi dajem poljanu i spilju što je na njoj; darujem ti to pred sinovima svoga naroda. Sahrani svoju pokojnicu.”
12 And Abraham bows himself before the people of the land,
Abraham se duboko nakloni mještanima,
13 and speaks to Ephron in the ears of the people of the land, saying, “Only—if you would hear me—I have given the money of the field—accept from me, and I bury my dead there.”
a onda progovori Efronu da mještani čuju na svoje uši: “Ded me samo poslušaj! Dajem ti cijenu za poljanu; primi je od mene da ondje mogu sahraniti svoju pokojnicu!”
14 And Ephron answers Abraham, saying to him,
Efron odgovori Abrahamu:
15 “My lord, hear me: the land—four hundred shekels of silver; between me and you, what [is] it? Bury your dead.”
“Čuj me, moj gospodine: zemljište u vrijednosti od četiri stotine srebrnika, što je to tebi i meni! Sahrani, dakle, svoju pokojnicu!”
16 And Abraham listens to Ephron, and Abraham weighs to Ephron the silver which he has spoken of in the ears of the sons of Heth, four hundred silver shekels, passing with the merchant.
Abraham se složi s Efronom; isplati Abraham Efronu novac što ga je spomenuo tako da su na svoje uši čuli sinovi Hetovi - četiri stotine srebrnika trgovačke mjere.
17 And established are the field of Ephron, which [is] in Machpelah, which [is] before Mamre, the field and the cave which [is] in it, and all the trees which [are] in the field, which [are] around all its border,
I tako Efronova poljana u Makpeli nasuprot Mamri - poljana, spilja i sva stabla što su bila na poljani -
18 to Abraham by purchase, before the eyes of the sons of Heth, among all entering the gate of his city.
prijeđe u vlasništvo Abrahamovo u nazočnosti sinova Hetovih, sviju koji su sjedili u vijeću svoga grada.
19 And after this Abraham has buried his wife Sarah at the cave of the field of Machpelah before Mamre (which [is] Hebron), in the land of Canaan;
A onda Abraham sahrani svoju ženu Saru u spilji na poljani Makpeli nasuprot Mamri - danas Hebronu - u zemlji kanaanskoj.
20 and established are the field, and the cave which [is] in it, to Abraham for a possession of a burying-place, from the sons of Heth.
Tako je poljana i spilja na njoj prešla od sinova Hetovih u vlasništvo Abrahamovo za sahranjivanje.
