Genesis 23
1 And Sara lived a hundred and twenty-seven years.
Sara viv sanvennsetan (127 an).
2 And she died in the city of Arbee which is Hebron, in the land of Chanaan: 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 after he rose up from the funeral obsequies, he spoke to the children of Heth, saying:
Abraram leve bò kote kadav la, li ale pale ak moun Et yo. Li di yo konsa:
4 I am a stranger and sojourner among you: give me the right of a burying place with you, 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 children of Heth answered, saying:
Moun Et yo reponn Abraram, yo di l' konsa:
6 My Lord, hear us, thou art a prince of God among us: bury thy dead in our principal sepulchres: and no man shall have power to hinder thee from burying thy dead in his sepulchre.
-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 rose up, and bowed down to the people of the land, to wit the children of Heth:
Abraram kanpe. Pa respè pou moun Et yo, li bese tèt li byen ba devan yo.
8 And said to them: If it please your soul that I should bury my dead, hear me, and intercede for me to Ephron the son of Seor.
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 That he may give me the double cave, which he hath in the end of his field: for as much money as it is worth he shall give it me before you, for a possession of a burying place.
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 children of Heth. And Ephron made answer to Abraham in the hearing of all that went in at the gate of the 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 not be so, my lord, but do thou rather hearken to what I say: The field I deliver to thee, and the cave that is therein, in the presence of the children of my people, bury thy 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 bowed down before the people of the land,
Men, Abraram bese tèt li byen ba devan moun Et yo.
13 And he spoke to Ephron, in the presence of the people: I beseech thee to hear me: I will give 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 answered:
Efwon reponn Abraram: -Mèt, tanpri koute sa m'ap di ou:
15 My lord, hear me. The ground which thou desirest, is worth four hundred sicles of silver: this is the price between me and thee: but what is this? bury thy 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 asked, in the hearing of the children of Heth, four hundred sicles of silver of common current money.
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 the field that before was Ephron’s, wherein was the double cave, looking towards Mambre, both it and the cave, and all the trees thereof in all its limits round about,
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 Was made sure to Abraham for a possession, in the sight of the children of Heth, and of all that went in at the gate of his city.
yo vin pou Abraram, devan tout moun Et yo, devan tout moun ki te bò pòtay la.
19 And so Abraham buried Sara his wife, in a double cave of the field, that looked towards Mambre, this is Hebron in the land of Chanaan.
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 made sure to Abraham, and the cave that was in it, for a possession to bury in, by the children 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.
