تكوين 23
| وَعَاشَتْ سَارَةُ مِئَةً وَسَبْعاً وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً. | ١ 1 |
And the lifetime of Sarah was a hundred and twenty-seven years; [these] were the years of the life of Sarah.
| ثُمَّ مَاتَتْ سَارَةُ فِي قَرْيَةِ أَرْبَعَ، أَيْ حَبْرُونَ، فِي أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ، فَجَاءَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ لِيَنْدُبَ سَارَةَ وَيَبْكِيَ عَلَيْهَا. | ٢ 2 |
And Sarah died in Kiryath-arba, the same in Hebron in the land of Canaan: and Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her.
| وَنَهَضَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ مِنْ أَمَامِ الْجُثْمَانِ وَقَالَ لِلْحِثِّيِّينَ: | ٣ 3 |
And Abraham stood up from before his dead, and spoke unto the sons of Heth, saying,
| «أَنَا غَرِيبٌ وَنَزِيلٌ بَيْنَكُمْ، فَمَلِّكُونِي مَعَكُمْ مَدْفَناً أُوَارِي فِيهِ مَيْتِي مِنْ أَمَامِي». | ٤ 4 |
A stranger and a sojourner I am with you; give me a possession for a burying-place with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight.
| فَأَجَابُوهُ قَائِلِينَ: | ٥ 5 |
And the children of Heth answered Abraham, saying unto him:
| «أَصْغِ لَنَا يَا سَيِّدِي. أَنْتَ رَئِيسٌ مِنَ اللهِ فِي وَسَطِنَا، فَادْفِنْ مَيْتَكَ فِي أَفْضَلِ قُبُورِنَا، فَلا أَحَدَ مِنَّا يَمْنَعُ قَبْرَهُ عَنْكَ لِتَدْفِنَ مَيْتَكَ». | ٦ 6 |
Hear us, my lord; a prince of God thou art among us; in the choice of our sepulchres bury thy dead; none of us shall withhold from thee his sepulchre, so that thou mayest bury thy dead.
| فَنَهَضَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ وَانْحَنَى أَمَامَ الْحِثِّيِّينَ أَهْلِ الْبِلادِ، | ٧ 7 |
And Abraham stood up and bowed himself to the people of the land, to the children of Heth.
| وَقَالَ: «إِنْ طَابَتْ نُفُوسُكُمْ أَنْ أَدْفِنَ مَيْتِي مِنْ أَمَامِي، فَاسْمَعُوا لِي وَالْتَمِسُوا لأَجْلِي مِنْ عِفْرُونَ بْنِ صُوحَرَ، | ٨ 8 |
And he spoke with them, saying, If it be your mind that I should bury my dead out of my sight, hear me, and intercede for me with Ephron the son of Zochar,
| أَنْ يَبِيعَنِي مَغَارَةَ الْمَكْفِيلَةِ الَّتِي فِي طَرَفِ حَقْلِهِ، فَأَشْتَرِيَهَا مِنْهُ لِقَاءَ ثَمَنٍ كَامِلٍ، وَأَمْتَلِكَهَا لِتَكُونَ مَدْفَناً لِي فِي وَسَطِكُمْ». | ٩ 9 |
That he may give me the cave of Machpelah, which is his, which is at the end of his field; for as much money as it is worth he shall give it me, for a possession as a burying-place amongst you.
| وَكَانَ عِفْرُونُ جَالِساً بَيْنَ الْحِثِّيِّينَ، فَقَالَ فِي مَسَامِعِ الْحِثِّيِّينَ، أَمَامَ كُلِّ الْحَاضِرِينَ فِي مَجْلِسِ مَدِينَتِهِ: | ١٠ 10 |
And Ephron dwelt among the children of Heth; and Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the hearing of the children of Heth, and of all those that went in at the gate of his city, saying,
| «لا يَا سَيِّدِي، بَلْ أَصْغِ إِلَيَّ، هُوَذَا الْحَقْلُ الَّذِي لِي وَالْمَغَارَةُ الَّتِي فِيهِ أَهَبُهُمَا لَكَ عَلَى مَشْهَدٍ مِنْ بَنِي شَعْبِي فَخُذْهُمَا وَادْفِنْ مَيْتَكَ». | ١١ 11 |
Nay, my lord, hear me: the field I give to thee, and the cave that is therein, I give it to thee; in the presence of the sons of my people do I give it to thee; bury thy dead.
| فَانْحَنَى إِبْرَاهِيمُ أَمَامَ أَهْلِ الْبِلادِ مَرَّةً ثَانِيَةً، | ١٢ 12 |
And Abraham bowed himself down before the people of the land.
| وَقَالَ لِعِفْرُونَ فِي مَسَامِعِ شَعْبِ الأَرْضِ: «إِنْ كُنْتَ تَشَاءُ فَاسْمَعْ لِي. أَنَا أَدْفَعُ ثَمَنَ الْحَقْلِ. فَاقْبَلْ ذَلِكَ مِنِّي فَأَقُومَ بِدَفْنِ مَيْتِي هُنَاكَ». | ١٣ 13 |
And he spoke to Ephron in the hearing of the people of the land, saying, But if thou wouldst only hear me; I will give the money for the field, take it off me, and I will bury my dead there.
| فَأَجَابَ عِفْرُونُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ: | ١٤ 14 |
And Ephron answered Abraham, saying unto him,
| «أَصْغِ لِي يَا سَيِّدِي، إِنَّ الأَرْضَ تُسَاوِي أَرْبَعَ مِئَةِ شَاقِلٍ (حَوَالَي خَمْسَةِ كِيلُو جِرَامَاتٍ) مِنَ الْفِضَّةِ، وَهُوَ (ثَمَنٌ) لَا قِيمَةَ لَهُ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ، فَادْفِنْ مَيْتَكَ». | ١٥ 15 |
My lord, hearken unto me: a piece of land worth four hundred shekels of silver, what is that between me and thee? only bury thy dead.
| فَقَبِلَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ عَرْضَ عِفْرُونَ، وَوَزَنَ لَهُ الْفِضَّةَ الَّتِي ذَكَرَهَا فِي مَسَامِعِ الْحِثِّيِّينَ. أَرْبَعَ مِئَةِ شَاقِلٍ رَائِجَةً بَيْنَ التُّجَّارِ. | ١٦ 16 |
And Abraham understood the meaning of Ephron; and Abraham weighed out to Ephron the silver which he had named in the hearing of the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, current with the merchant.
| وَبِمُقْتَضَى ذَلِكَ أَصْبَحَ حَقْلُ عِفْرُونَ الَّذِي فِي الْمَكْفِيلَةِ مُقَابِلَ مَمْرَا، وَالْمَغَارَةُ الَّتِي فِيهِ، وَجَمِيعُ الأَشْجَارِ الْقَائِمَةِ فِي كُلِّ الْحُدُودِ الْمُحِيطَةِ بِهِ، | ١٧ 17 |
And the field of Ephron, which was in Machpelah, which was before Mamre, the field, and the cave which was therein, and all the trees that were in the field, that were in all its borders round about, were made sure
| مُلْكاً لإِبْرَاهِيمَ، بِمَشْهَدٍ مِنَ الْحِثِّيِّينَ وَسَائِرِ الْحَاضِرِينَ فِي مَجْلِسِ مَدِينَتِهِ. | ١٨ 18 |
Unto Abraham for a bought possession in the presence of the children of Heth, before all that went in at the gate of his city.
| وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ دَفَنَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ زَوْجَتَهُ سَارَةَ فِي مَغَارَةِ الْمَكْفِيلَةِ، مُقَابِلَ مَمْرَا. وَهِيَ حَبْرُونُ فِي أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ. | ١٩ 19 |
And after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah, before Mamre, which is Hebron, in the land of Canaan.
| فَامْتَلَكَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ مِنَ الْحِثِّيِّينَ الْحَقْلَ وَالْمَغَارَةَ الَّتِي فِيهِ لِيَكُونَا مَدْفَناً لَهُ. | ٢٠ 20 |
And the field, with the cave that is therein, was made sure unto Abraham for a possession as a burying-place by the sons of Heth.
