< 創世記 23 >
USara waphila waze waba leminyaka elikhulu lamatshumi amabili lesikhombisa obudala.
2 撒拉死在迦南地的基列‧亞巴,就是希伯崙。亞伯拉罕為她哀慟哭號。
Wafela eKhiriyathi Aribha (kutsho eHebhroni) elizweni laseKhenani, u-Abhrahama wahamba ukuyamzilela lokumlilela khona.
U-Abhrahama wasukuma eseceleni komkakhe ofileyo wakhuluma lamaHithi. Wathi,
4 「我在你們中間是外人,是寄居的。求你們在這裏給我一塊地,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 「我主請聽。你在我們中間是一位尊大的王子,只管在我們最好的墳地裏埋葬你的死人;我們沒有一人不容你在他的墳地裏埋葬你的死人。」
“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 對他們說:「你們若有意叫我埋葬我的死人,使她不在我眼前,就請聽我的話,為我求瑣轄的兒子以弗崙,
Wathi kubo, “Nxa lithanda ukuthi ngimbele abafileyo bami, lalelani kimi, lingincengele ku-Efroni indodana kaZohari
9 把田頭上那麥比拉洞給我,他可以按着足價賣給我,作我在你們中間的墳地。」
ukuthi angithengisele ubhalu Lwakhe lwaseMakhaphela olusekucineni kwesiqinti. Mceleni ukuthi angithengisele sona ngentengo egcweleyo sibe yindawo yamangcwaba phakathi kwenu.”
10 當時以弗崙正坐在赫人中間。於是,赫人以弗崙在城門出入的赫人面前對亞伯拉罕說:
U-Efroni umHithi owayehlezi khonapho phakathi kwabantu bakibo wamphendula u-Abhrahama wonke amaHithi ayefikile esangweni ledolobho lakhe ezizwela.
11 「不然,我主請聽。我送給你這塊田,連田間的洞也送給你,在我同族的人面前都給你,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 在他們面前對以弗崙說:「你若應允,請聽我的話。我要把田價給你,求你收下,我就在那裏埋葬我的死人。」
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 「我主請聽。值四百舍客勒銀子的一塊田,在你我中間還算甚麼呢?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 亞伯拉罕聽從了以弗崙,照着他在赫人面前所說的話,把買賣通用的銀子平了四百舍客勒給以弗崙。
U-Abhrahama wayivuma intengo ka-Efroni wasemlinganisela ubunzima bentengo ayeyibizile amaHithi esizwa: amashekeli esiliva angamakhulu amane, mayelana lesisindo esasisetshenziswa ngabathengisi.
17 於是,麥比拉、幔利前、以弗崙的那塊田和其中的洞,並田間四圍的樹木,
Ngakho isiqinti sika-Efroni eMakhaphela, eduze leMamure, isiqinti kanye lobhalu olwaluphakathi kwaso, lazozonke izihlahla ezaziphakathi kwaso, kwabhaliswa
18 都定準歸與亞伯拉罕,乃是他在赫人面前並城門出入的人面前買妥的。
ngo-Abhrahama ukuthi sekuyimpahla yakhe, kusenziwa phambi kwamaHithi wonke ayefikile esangweni ledolobho.
19 此後,亞伯拉罕把他妻子撒拉埋葬在迦南地幔利前的麥比拉田間的洞裏。(幔利就是希伯崙)。
Ngemva kwalokho u-Abhrahama wangcwaba umkakhe uSara ebhalwini olwalusesiqintini saseMakhaphela eduze leMamure (eseHebhroni) elizweni laseKhenani.
20 從此,那塊田和田間的洞就藉着赫人定準歸與亞伯拉罕作墳地。
Kanjalo isiqinti lobhalu olwaluphakathi kwaso kwabhaliswa ngo-Abhrahama ngama-Hithi ukuba yindawo yamangcwaba.
