< Genesis 23 >

1 Sarah lived one hundred and twenty-seven years. This was the length of Sarah’s life.
Sara viv sanvennsetan (127 an).
2 Sarah died in Kiriath Arba (also called Hebron), in the land of Canaan. Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to 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 Abraham rose up from before his dead and 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 a foreigner living with you. Give me a possession of a burying-place with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight.”
-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 Abraham, saying to him,
Moun Et yo reponn Abraram, yo di l' konsa:
6 “Hear us, my lord. You are a prince of God amongst us. Bury your dead in the best of our tombs. None of us will withhold from you his tomb. Bury your dead.”
-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 himself to the people of the land, to the children of Heth.
Abraram kanpe. Pa respè pou moun Et yo, li bese tèt li byen ba devan yo.
8 He talked with them, saying, “If you agree that I should bury my dead out of my sight, hear me, and entreat for me to 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 that he may sell me the cave of Machpelah, which he has, which is in the end of his field. For the full price let him sell it to me amongst you as a possession for a burial 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 was sitting in the middle of the children of Heth. Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the hearing of the children of Heth, even of all who went in 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 “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 children of my people I give it to you. 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 bowed himself down before the people of the land.
Men, Abraram bese tèt li byen ba devan moun Et yo.
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.”
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 Ephron answered Abraham, saying to him,
Efwon reponn Abraram: -Mèt, tanpri koute sa m'ap di ou:
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.”
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 Abraham listened to Ephron. Abraham weighed to Ephron the silver which he had named in the hearing of the children of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, according to the current merchants’ standard.
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 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
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 to Abraham for a possession in the presence of the children of Heth, before all who 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 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.
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 The field, and the cave that is in it, were deeded to Abraham by the children of Heth as a possession for a burial place.
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.
