اَلتَّكْوِينُ 23
| وَكَانَتْ حَيَاةُ سَارَةَ مِئَةً وَسَبْعًا وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً، سِنِي حَيَاةِ سَارَةَ. | ١ 1 |
And Sara lived a hundred and twenty-seven years.
| وَمَاتَتْ سَارَةُ فِي قَرْيَةِ أَرْبَعَ، ٱلَّتِي هِيَ حَبْرُونُ، فِي أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ. فَأَتَى إِبْرَاهِيمُ لِيَنْدُبَ سَارَةَ وَيَبْكِيَ عَلَيْهَا. | ٢ 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.
| وَقَامَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ مِنْ أَمَامِ مَيِّتِهِ وَكَلَّمَ بَنِي حِثَّ قَائِلًا: | ٣ 3 |
And after he rose up from the funeral obsequies, he spoke to the children of Heth, saying:
| «أَنَا غَرِيبٌ وَنَزِيلٌ عِنْدَكُمْ. أَعْطُونِي مُلْكَ قَبْرٍ مَعَكُمْ لِأَدْفِنَ مَيْتِي مِنْ أَمَامِي». | ٤ 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.
| فَأَجَابَ بَنُو حِثَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَائِلِينَ لَهُ: | ٥ 5 |
The children of Heth answered, saying:
| «اِسْمَعْنَا يَا سَيِّدِي. أَنْتَ رَئِيسٌ مِنَ ٱللهِ بَيْنَنَا. فِي أَفْضَلِ قُبُورِنَا ٱدْفِنْ مَيْتَكَ، لَا يَمْنَعُ أَحَدٌ مِنَّا قَبْرَهُ عَنْكَ حَتَّى لَا تَدْفِنَ مَيْتَكَ». | ٦ 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.
| فَقَامَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ وَسَجَدَ لِشَعْبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، لِبَنِي حِثَّ، | ٧ 7 |
Abraham rose up, and bowed down to the people of the land, to wit the children of Heth:
| وَكَلَّمَهُمْ قَائِلًا: «إِنْ كَانَ فِي نُفُوسِكُمْ أَنْ أَدْفِنَ مَيْتِي مِنْ أَمَامِي، فَٱسْمَعُونِي وَٱلْتَمِسُوا لِي مِنْ عِفْرُونَ بْنِ صُوحَرَ | ٨ 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.
| أَنْ يُعْطِيَنِي مَغَارَةَ ٱلْمَكْفِيلَةِ ٱلَّتِي لَهُ، ٱلَّتِي فِي طَرَفِ حَقْلِهِ. بِثَمَنٍ كَامِلٍ يُعْطِينِي إِيَّاهَا فِي وَسَطِكُمْ مُلْكَ قَبْرٍ». | ٩ 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.
| وَكَانَ عِفْرُونُ جَالِسًا بَيْنَ بَنِي حِثَّ، فَأَجَابَ عِفْرُونُ ٱلْحِثِّيُّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ فِي مَسَامِعِ بَنِي حِثَّ، لَدَى جَمِيعِ ٱلدَّاخِلِينَ بَابَ مَدِينَتِهِ قَائِلًا: | ١٠ 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:
| «لَا يَا سَيِّدِي، ٱسْمَعْنِي. اَلْحَقْلُ وَهَبْتُكَ إِيَّاهُ، وَٱلْمَغَارَةُ ٱلَّتِي فِيهِ لَكَ وَهَبْتُهَا. لَدَى عُيُونِ بَنِي شَعْبِي وَهَبْتُكَ إِيَّاهَا. ٱدْفِنْ مَيْتَكَ». | ١١ 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.
| فَسَجَدَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ أَمَامَ شَعْبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، | ١٢ 12 |
Abraham bowed down before the people of the land,
| وَكَلَمَ عِفْرُونَ فِي مَسَامِعِ شَعْبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ قَائِلًا: «بَلْ إِنْ كُنْتَ أَنْتَ إِيَّاهُ فَلَيْتَكَ تَسْمَعُنِي. أُعْطِيكَ ثَمَنَ ٱلْحَقْلِ. خُذْ مِنِّي فَأَدْفِنَ مَيْتِي هُنَاكَ». | ١٣ 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.
| فَأَجَابَ عِفْرُونُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَائِلًا لَهُ: | ١٤ 14 |
And Ephron answered:
| «يَا سَيِّدِي، ٱسْمَعْنِي. أَرْضٌ بِأَرْبَعِ مِئَةِ شَاقِلِ فِضَّةٍ، مَا هِيَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ؟ فَٱدْفِنْ مَيْتَكَ». | ١٥ 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.
| فَسَمِعَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ لِعِفْرُونَ، وَوَزَنَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ لِعِفْرُونَ ٱلْفِضَّةَ ٱلَّتِي ذَكَرَهَا فِي مَسَامِعِ بَنِي حِثَّ. أَرْبَعَ مِئَةِ شَاقِلِ فِضَّةٍ جَائِزَةٍ عِنْدَ ٱلتُّجَّارِ. | ١٦ 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.
| فَوَجَبَ حَقْلُ عِفْرُونَ ٱلَّذِي فِي ٱلْمَكْفِيلَةِ ٱلَّتِي أَمَامَ مَمْرَا، ٱلْحَقْلُ وَٱلْمَغَارَةُ ٱلَّتِي فِيهِ، وَجَمِيعُ ٱلشَّجَرِ ٱلَّذِي فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ ٱلَّذِي فِي جَمِيعِ حُدُودِهِ حَوَالَيْهِ، | ١٧ 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,
| لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ مُلْكًا لَدَى عُيُونِ بَنِي حِثَّ، بَيْنَ جَمِيعِ ٱلدَّاخِلِينَ بَابَ مَدِينَتِهِ. | ١٨ 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.
| وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ دَفَنَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ سَارَةَ ٱمْرَأَتَهُ فِي مَغَارَةِ حَقْلِ ٱلْمَكْفِيلَةِ أَمَامَ مَمْرَا، ٱلَّتِي هِيَ حَبْرُونُ، فِي أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ، | ١٩ 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.
| فَوَجَبَ ٱلْحَقْلُ وَٱلْمَغَارَةُ ٱلَّتِي فِيهِ لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ مُلْكَ قَبْرٍ مِنْ عِنْدِ بَنِي حِثَّ. | ٢٠ 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.
