Genesis 23
1 Now Sarah lived for one hundred and twenty-seven years.
Sara viv sanvennsetan (127 an).
2 And she died in the city of Arba, which is Hebron, in the land of Canaan. And Abraham came to mourn and weep for her.
Li mouri yon kote yo rele Kiriyat Aba osinon Ebwon nan peyi Kanaran. Abraram pran lapenn pou lanmò Sara, li plenn sò li.
3 And when he had risen up from the funeral duties, he spoke to the sons of Heth, saying:
Abraram leve bò kote kadav la, li ale pale ak moun Et yo. Li di yo konsa:
4 “I am a newcomer and a sojourner among you. Give me the right of a sepulcher among you, so that I may bury my dead.”
-Se etranje mwen ye, se depasaj mwen ye nan mitan nou. Vann mwen yon anplasman pou m' ka antere madanm mwen, konsa m'a wete kadav la devan je m'.
5 The sons of Heth responded by saying:
Moun Et yo reponn Abraram, yo di l' konsa:
6 “Hear us, O lord, you are a leader of God among us. Bury your dead in our chosen sepulchers. And no man shall be able to prohibit you from burying your dead within his memorial.”
-Mèt, koute sa n'ap di ou. Ou se yon gwonèg Bondye voye nan mitan nou. Chwazi yonn nan pi bon kavo nou yo pou antere madanm ou. Pa gen yonn nan nou ki pou ta refize ba ou kavo li pou antere madanm ou.
7 Abraham arose, and he reverenced the people of the land, namely, the sons of Heth.
Abraram kanpe. Pa respè pou moun Et yo, li bese tèt li byen ba devan yo.
8 And he said to them: “If it pleases your soul that I should bury my dead, hear me, and intercede on my behalf with Ephron, the son of Zohar,
Li di yo: -Si nou dakò pou m' antere madanm mwen isit la, pou m' wete kadav li devan je m', koute sa m'ap di nou. Nou konnen Efwon, pitit gason Zoka a? Pale avè l' pou mwen.
9 so that he may give me the double cave, which he has at the far end of his field. He may transfer it to me for as much money as it is worth in your sight, for the possession of a sepulcher.”
Mande l' pou l' vann mwen twou wòch Makpela a ki pou li nan bout jaden l' lan. Mande l' pou l' vann mwen li pou pri li vo, pou sa ka sèvi m' simityè isit la.
10 Now Ephron dwelt in the midst of the sons of Heth. And Ephron responded to Abraham in the hearing of everyone who was entering at the gate of his city, saying:
Efwon te chita la avèk lòt moun Et yo, bò pòtay lavil la, kote moun yo konn reyini an. Devan moun Et yo, devan tout moun ki t'ap pase bò pòtay la, Efwon reponn Abraram. Li di li:
11 “Let it never be so, my lord, but you should pay greater heed to what I say. The field I will transfer to you, and the cave that is in it. In the presence of the sons of my people, bury your dead.”
-Non, mèt! Koute sa m'ap di ou: Mwen fè ou kado jaden an ak tout twou wòch ki ladan l' lan. Mwen fè ou kado l' devan tout moun peyi m' yo. M'ap ba ou l' pou ou ka antere madanm ou.
12 Abraham reverenced in the sight of the people of the land.
Men, Abraram bese tèt li byen ba devan moun Et yo.
13 And he spoke to Ephron, standing in the midst of the people: “I ask you to hear me. I will give you money for the field. Take it, and so I will bury my dead in it.”
Li pale ak Efwon pou tout moun ka tande. Li di l': -Koute sa m'ap di ou: M'ap achte tout jaden an nan men ou pou pri li vo. Tanpri, asepte lajan m'ap ba ou pou li a. Se lè sa a m'a antere madanm mwen ladan l'.
14 And Ephron responded: “My lord, hear me.
Efwon reponn Abraram: -Mèt, tanpri koute sa m'ap di ou:
15 The land that you request is worth four hundred shekels of silver. This is the price between me and you. But how much is this? Bury your dead.”
Yon moso tè ki vo katsan (400) pyès lò, pa gen rezon pou n'ap diskite pou sa. Antere madanm ou sou li non!
16 And when Abraham had heard this, he weighed out the money that Ephron had requested, in the hearing of the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, of the approved public currency.
Abraram dakò ak sa Efwon di l' la. Li peze lajan an, li bay Efwon li devan tout moun Et yo. Wi, li ba li katsan (400) pyès lò dapre jan kòmèsan yo te sèvi nan peyi a.
17 And having confirmed that the field, in which there was a double cave overlooking Mamre, formerly belonged to Ephron, both it and the sepulcher, and all its trees, with all its surrounding limits,
Se konsa, moso tè Efwon te gen Makpela a, anfas peyi Manmre a, ansanm ak tout twou wòch la ak tout pyebwa ki nan jaden an, jouk sou lizyè li,
18 Abraham took it as a possession, in the sight of the sons of Heth and of everyone who was entering at the gate of his city.
yo vin pou Abraram, devan tout moun Et yo, devan tout moun ki te bò pòtay la.
19 So then, Abraham buried his wife Sarah in the double cave of the field that overlooked Mamre. This is Hebron in the land of Canaan.
Apre sa, Abraram antere Sara, madanm li, nan twou wòch ki te nan jaden Makpela a, anfas Manmre yo rele Ebwon an, nan peyi Kanaran.
20 And the field was confirmed to Abraham, with the cave that was in it, as a memorial possession before the sons of Heth.
Se konsa, Abraram achte jaden an ak tout twou wòch ki te ladan l' lan, nan men moun Et yo, li fè l' sèvi simityè pou li.
