< 创世记 23 >
USara waphila waze waba leminyaka elikhulu lamatshumi amabili lesikhombisa obudala.
2 撒拉死在迦南地的基列·亚巴,就是希伯 。亚伯拉罕为她哀恸哭号。
Wafela eKhiriyathi Aribha (kutsho eHebhroni) elizweni laseKhenani, u-Abhrahama wahamba ukuyamzilela lokumlilela khona.
U-Abhrahama wasukuma eseceleni komkakhe ofileyo wakhuluma lamaHithi. Wathi,
4 “我在你们中间是外人,是寄居的。求你们在这里给我一块地,我好埋葬我的死人,使她不在我眼前。”
“Ngingowezizweni lesihambi phakathi kwenu. Ngithengiselani isiqinti sokuba yindawo yokungcwabela khona abakithi abafileyo.”
AmaHithi amphendula u-Abhrahama athi,
6 “我主请听。你在我们中间是一位尊大的王子,只管在我们最好的坟地里埋葬你的死人;我们没有一人不容你在他的坟地里埋葬你的死人。”
“Silalele, nkosi yami. Uyinkosana elamandla phakathi kwethu. Ngcwaba abafileyo bakini loba kukuwaphi amangcwaba ethu athandeka kakhulu. Kakho owakithi ozakwalela ingcwaba lakhe ukuthi ungcwabe kulo ofileyo wakini.”
Ngakho u-Abhrahama wasukuma wakhothamela phansi phambi kwamaHithi, abanikazi balelolizwe.
8 对他们说:“你们若有意叫我埋葬我的死人,使她不在我眼前,就请听我的话,为我求琐辖的儿子以弗 ;
Wathi kubo, “Nxa lithanda ukuthi ngimbele abafileyo bami, lalelani kimi, lingincengele ku-Efroni indodana kaZohari
9 把田头上那麦比拉洞给我;他可以按着足价卖给我,作我在你们中间的坟地。”
ukuthi angithengisele ubhalu Lwakhe lwaseMakhaphela olusekucineni kwesiqinti. Mceleni ukuthi angithengisele sona ngentengo egcweleyo sibe yindawo yamangcwaba phakathi kwenu.”
10 当时以弗 正坐在赫人中间。于是,赫人以弗 在城门出入的赫人面前对亚伯拉罕说:
U-Efroni umHithi owayehlezi khonapho phakathi kwabantu bakibo wamphendula u-Abhrahama wonke amaHithi ayefikile esangweni ledolobho lakhe ezizwela.
11 “不然,我主请听。我送给你这块田,连田间的洞也送给你,在我同族的人面前都给你,可以埋葬你的死人。”
Wathi, “Hatshi, nkosi yami. Lalela kimi; ngiyakupha isiqinti, njalo ngiyakupha lobhalu oluphakathi kwaso. Ngikupha sona phambi kwabantu bakithi. Mbela abafileyo bakho.”
U-Abhrahama waphinda wakhothamela phansi phambi kwabantu balelolizwe
13 在他们面前对以弗 说:“你若应允,请听我的话。我要把田价给你,求你收下,我就在那里埋葬我的死人。”
wathi ku-Efroni bona besizwa, “Ake ulalelisise engikutshoyo. Mina ngizayikhupha intengo yesiqinti. Ngicela uyamukele kimi ukuze ngimbele khona abafileyo bami.”
U-Efroni waphendula u-Abhrahama wathi,
15 “我主请听。值四百舍客勒银子的一块田,在你我中间还算什么呢?只管埋葬你的死人吧!”
“Lalela kimi, nkosi yami; isiqinti lesi sibiza amashekeli esiliva angamakhulu amane, kodwa kungena njani lokho phakathi kwami lawe? Wena mbela abafileyo bakho.”
16 亚伯拉罕听从了以弗 ,照着他在赫人面前所说的话,把买卖通用的银子平了四百舍客勒给以弗 。
U-Abhrahama wayivuma intengo ka-Efroni wasemlinganisela ubunzima bentengo ayeyibizile amaHithi esizwa: amashekeli esiliva angamakhulu amane, mayelana lesisindo esasisetshenziswa ngabathengisi.
17 于是,麦比拉、幔利前、以弗 的那块田和其中的洞,并田间四围的树木,
Ngakho isiqinti sika-Efroni eMakhaphela, eduze leMamure, isiqinti kanye lobhalu olwaluphakathi kwaso, lazozonke izihlahla ezaziphakathi kwaso, kwabhaliswa
18 都定准归与亚伯拉罕,乃是他在赫人面前并城门出入的人面前买妥的。
ngo-Abhrahama ukuthi sekuyimpahla yakhe, kusenziwa phambi kwamaHithi wonke ayefikile esangweni ledolobho.
19 此后,亚伯拉罕把他妻子撒拉埋葬在迦南地幔利前的麦比拉田间的洞里。(幔利就是希伯 )。
Ngemva kwalokho u-Abhrahama wangcwaba umkakhe uSara ebhalwini olwalusesiqintini saseMakhaphela eduze leMamure (eseHebhroni) elizweni laseKhenani.
20 从此,那块田和田间的洞就借着赫人定准归与亚伯拉罕作坟地。
Kanjalo isiqinti lobhalu olwaluphakathi kwaso kwabhaliswa ngo-Abhrahama ngama-Hithi ukuba yindawo yamangcwaba.
