Genesis 23
1 And the life of Sarah was a hundred and twenty-seven years: [these were] the years of the life of Sarah.
Sara je bila stara sto sedemindvajset let. To so bila leta Sarinega življenja.
2 And Sarah died in Kirjath-Arba: that is Hebron, in the land of Canaan. And Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her.
Sara je umrla v Kirját Arbi; ista je Hebrón v kánaanski deželi. Abraham je prišel, da žaluje za Saro in da joka za njo.
3 And Abraham rose up from before his dead, and spoke to the sons of Heth, saying,
Abraham je vstal pred svojo mrtvo in Hetovim sinovom spregovoril, rekoč:
4 I am a stranger and a sojourner with you; give me a possession of a sepulchre with you, that I may bury my dead from before me.
»Tujec sem in začasen prebivalec z vami. Dajte mi posest grobišča z vami, da lahko pokopljem svojo mrtvo izpred svojega obličja.«
5 And the sons of Heth answered Abraham, saying to him,
Hetovi otroci so Abrahamu odgovorili, rekoč mu:
6 Hear us, my lord: thou art a prince of God among us: in the choicest of our sepulchres bury thy dead: none of us shall withhold from thee his sepulchre for burying thy dead.
»Poslušaj nas, moj gospod. Ti si med nami mogočen princ. V izbiri naših mavzolejev pokoplji svojo mrtvo. Nobeden izmed nas ne bo pred teboj zadržal svojega mavzoleja, pač pa da lahko pokoplješ svojo mrtvo.«
7 And Abraham rose up, and bowed down to the people of the land, to the sons of Heth,
Abraham je vstal in se priklonil ljudstvu dežele, torej Hetovim otrokom.
8 and spoke to them, saying, If it be your will that I should bury my dead from before me, hear me, and entreat for me Ephron the son of Zohar,
Posvetoval se je z njimi, rekoč: »Če je vaše mišljenje, da naj pokopljem svojo mrtvo izpred svojih oči, me poslušajte in zame prosite Coharjevega sina Efróna,
9 that he may give me the cave of Machpelah, which is his, which is at the end of his field; for the full money let him give it to me amongst you for a possession of a sepulchre.
da bi mi lahko dal votlino Mahpélo, ki jo ima, ki je na koncu njegovega polja, kajti za kolikor denarja je vredna, naj mi jo da v posest za grobišče med vami.«
10 And Ephron was dwelling among the sons of Heth. And Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham, in the ears of the sons of Heth, [even] of all that went in at the gate of his city, saying,
Efrón pa je prebival med Hetovimi otroki. In Efrón Hetejec je odgovoril Abrahamu v občinstvu Hetovih otrok, torej vseh teh, ki so vstopali pri velikih vratih njegovega mesta, rekoč:
11 No, my lord: hear me. The field give I thee; and the cave that is in it, to thee I give it; before the eyes of the sons of my people give I it thee: bury thy dead.
»Ne, moj gospod, poslušaj me. Polje ti dam in votlino, ki je tam, to ti dam. V prisotnosti sinov svojega ljudstva ti to dam. Pokoplji svojo mrtvo.«
12 And Abraham bowed down before the people of the land;
Abraham se je priklonil pred ljudstvom dežele.
13 and he spoke to Ephron, in the ears of the people of the land, saying, But if only thou wouldst listen to me, I give the money for the field: take [it] of me, and I will bury my dead there.
Spregovoril je Efrónu, v občinstvu ljudstva dežele, rekoč: »Če to hočeš dati, prosim te, poslušaj me. Za to polje ti bom dal denar. Vzemi ga od mene, jaz pa bom svojo mrtvo pokopal tam.«
14 And Ephron answered Abraham, saying to him,
Efrón je odgovoril Abrahamu, rekoč mu:
15 My lord, hearken to me. A field of four hundred shekels of silver, what is that between me and thee? bury therefore thy dead.
»Moj gospod, prisluhni mi. Zemlja je vredna štiristo šeklov srebra. Kaj je to med menoj in teboj? Pokoplji torej svojo mrtvo.«
16 And Abraham hearkened to Ephron; and Abraham weighed to Ephron the money that he had named in the ears of the sons of Heth — four hundred shekels of silver, current with the merchant.
Abraham je prisluhnil Efrónu in Abraham je Efrónu odtehtal srebro, ki ga je omenil v občinstvu Hetovih sinov, štiristo šeklov srebra, trenuten denar pri trgovcu.
17 So the field of Ephron, which was at Machpelah, which was before Mamre, the field, and the cave that was in it, and all the trees that were in the field, that were in all its borders round about,
In Efrónovo polje, ki je bilo v Mahpéli, ki je bilo pred Mamrejem, polje in votlina, ki sta bila tam in vsa drevesa, ki so bila na polju, ki so bila na vseh mejah naokoli, so bila zagotovo potrjena
18 were assured to Abraham for a possession before the eyes of the sons of Heth, before all who went in at the gate of his city.
za posest Abrahamu v prisotnosti Hetovih otrok, pred vsemi, ki so vstopali pri velikih vratih njegovega mesta.
19 And after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field at Machpelah, opposite to Mamre: that is Hebron, in the land of Canaan.
In po tem je Abraham pokopal svojo ženo Saro v votlini polja Mahpéli pred Mamrejem, isti je Hebrón v kánaanski deželi.
20 And the field and the cave that was in it were assured to Abraham for a possession of a sepulchre by the sons of Heth.
Polje in votlina, ki je tam, sta bila zagotovo potrjena Abrahamu v posest za grobišče od Hetovih sinov.
