Postanak 23
1 A poživje Sara sto i dvadeset i sedam godina; to su godine vijeka Sarina;
Sarah lived one hundred twenty-seven years. This was the length of Sarah’s life.
2 I umrije Sara u Kirijat-Arvi, a to je Hevron, u zemlji Hananskoj. I doðe Avram da ožali Saru i oplaèe.
Sarah died in Kiriath Arba (also called Hebron), in the land of Canaan. Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her.
3 A kad usta Avram od mrtvaca svojega, reèe sinovima Hetovijem govoreæi:
Abraham rose up from before his dead and spoke to the children of Heth, saying,
4 Stranac sam i došljak kod vas; dajte mi da imam grob kod vas da pogrebem mrtvaca svojega ispred oèiju svojih.
“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.”
5 A sinovi Hetovi odgovoriše Avramu govoreæi mu:
The children of Heth answered Abraham, saying to him,
6 Èuj nas, gospodaru; ti si knez od Boga meðu nama; u najboljem grobu našem pogrebi mrtvaca svojega; niko izmeðu nas neæe ti zatvoriti groba svojega da ne pogrebeš mrtvaca svojega.
“Hear us, my lord. You are a prince of God among us. Bury your dead in the best of our tombs. None of us will withhold from you his tomb. Bury your dead.”
7 Tada usta Avram i pokloni se narodu zemlje one, sinovima Hetovijem;
Abraham rose up, and bowed himself to the people of the land, to the children of Heth.
8 I reèe im govoreæi: ako hoæete da pogrebem mrtvaca svojega ispred oèiju svojih, poslušajte me, i govorite za mene Efronu sinu Sarovu,
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,
9 Neka mi da peæinu u Makpeli, koja je nakraj njive njegove; za novce neka mi je da meðu vama koliko vrijedi, da imam grob.
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 among you as a possession for a burial place.”
10 A Efron sjeðaše usred sinova Hetovijeh. Pa reèe Efron Hetejin Avramu pred sinovima Hetovijem, koji slušahu, pred svijem koji ulažahu na vrata grada njegova, govoreæi:
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,
11 Ne, gospodaru; èuj me: poklanjam ti njivu, i peæinu kod nje poklanjam ti; pred sinovima naroda svojega poklanjam ti je, pogrebi mrtvaca svojega.
“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.”
12 A Avram se pokloni narodu zemlje one,
Abraham bowed himself down before the people of the land.
13 I reèe Efronu pred narodom zemlje one govoreæi: ako si voljan, èuj me; da ti dam šta vrijedi njiva, uzmi od mene, pa æu onda pogrepsti mrtvaca svojega ondje.
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.”
14 A Efron odgovori Avramu govoreæi mu:
Ephron answered Abraham, saying to him,
15 Gospodaru, èuj me; zemlja vrijedi èetiri stotine sikala srebra izmeðu mene i tebe; šta je to? samo ti pogrebi mrtvaca svojega.
“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.”
16 A Avram èuvši Efrona izmjeri mu srebro, koje reèe pred sinovima Hetovijem, èetiri stotine sikala srebra, kako su išli meðu trgovcima.
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.
17 I njiva Efronova u Makpeli prema Mamriji, njiva s peæinom koja je na njoj, i sva drveta na njivi i po meði njezinoj unaokolo,
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
18 Posta Avramova pred sinovima Hetovijem, pred svjema koji ulaze na vrata grada onoga.
to Abraham for a possession in the presence of the children of Heth, before all who went in at the gate of his city.
19 Potom pogrebe Avram Saru ženu svoju u peæini na njivi Makpeli prema Mamriji, a to je Hevron, u zemlji Hananskoj.
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.
20 I potvrdiše sinovi Hetovi njivu i peæinu na njoj Avramu da ima grob.
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.
